            Hermione joined them in the kitchen while she ate, listening to their heated conversation on some scandal in the French quidditch world. She’d wanted to ask about their own work in France, but between her mild headache, and the one she’d get from interrupting their bickering, Hermione decided to hold off. After excusing herself to shower and dress for bed, again in the Weird Sisters t-shirt, Hermione muttered a locking spell on her bedroom door from the outside, then crept into Sirius’s room. She locked his door too. Now even if Ron wanted to ask her to bed, he’d be barred from finding her.
