After one last glance in the mirror, Hermione turned and headed out the door, walking a few steps down the hall to use the fireplace in Harry’s bedroom. He was already at the hearing; according to him, the trial was not open to the public. While Harry was providing details into his investigation into Percy Weasley, he would also be interrogated about the night of the Gala. The court was supposed to notify all witnesses within an hour by owl when it was their time to testify. However, Hermione wanted to arrive early just in case.
