Spotting the usual café she finished her homework at, Hermione headed across the street. She was just nearing the store when she heard footsteps behind her. At first, Hermione thought that it was just somebody else heading to a store (she was on a high street after all) but after a while - and the footsteps getting closer and closer - Hermione slipped her hand into her pocket. She couldn't risk drawing her wand in such a crowded area so her only option was the folding knife that was always tucked into her pocket.
