Suddenly, Hermione's remorseful thoughts were interrupted. There was a shift in the air, and she knew without a doubt that she was no longer alone in the flat. Rising carefully, she stood at the foot of her bed and stared at the open doorway. She wasn't scared. No, she knew who she would find when she made her way to stand in the empty space. Taking a deep breath, Hermione did just that and despite knowing who was there, still felt the breath leave her in a rush at the sight of him. And despite the odd feeling that time was standing still, she managed to utter a single word.
