Hermione Granger

What I wouldn't give for a new book to read.

Private to the Trio:
We need a map of the Ministry really badly. Without one, we will have absolutely no idea where we're going or the possible escape routes in case something goes wrong.

Private to the Trio:
We have everything and the fluxweed has been added. Now all we do is wait. It shouldn't be much longer, though I really, really hope we don't have to move again while it brews. That could be really bad, especially if we're in a hurry!

Private to Dumbledore's Army:
Is everyone okay? We haven't heard from many of you in awhile and are worried.

Private to the Order - minus Snape:
Please don't ask questions as I can't really tell you why, but does anyone have access to a map of the Ministry?

Private to Regulus Black:
I know you aren't supposed to talk to me, but I just wanted to ask how you are.

The Daily Prophet is still full of nothing but rubbish and stories that make me angry!

Private to Dumbledore's Army:
I really hope those of you still remaining at Hogwarts are okay. I've been catching and reading the Daily Prophet whenever I can get my hands on a copy of it and things sound absolutely horrible! Death Eaters and those without proper credentials should not be allowed to teach at Hogwarts, and Severus Snape should have never been made Headmaster.

Private to the Trio:
I got the lacewing flies and the powdered bicorn hair. So I'll be back really soon, and with something for the both of you. Now all we need is fluxweed when the moon is full.

Private to Self:
It's my -

Private to Regulus Black:
I'm sorry that I haven't written you back sooner, but I've been really very busy. Did Kreacher arrive safely and was he exactly as you remembered him?

Private to the Order of the Phoenix:
Does anyone know where Umbridge lives?

Private to Regulus Black
Thank you for taking the time to warn my friends and I about your cousin and her interest in your former house. I'm looking into possibly getting Kreacher sent to you since he doesn't deserve to stay cooped up in Grimmauld Place alone and because you care so much for him.

Is Vol Is He still torturing you to see what you're capable of and how much you can withstand?

Private to the Order of the Phoenix
I recently read something through these pages that is both shocking and worrisome. Granted, it could be an advantage, especially against You-Know-Who. Though He is also looking into the same matter, as well, according to the person's story. But it seems that those who are back from the dead are able to heal themselves once they lose consciousness. So, for example, if Emmeline Vance cut herself on a kitchen knife and sliced her finger pretty deeply, she would still feel the residual pain, bleed, and if there was enough blood loss, she may even pass out. However, once she loses consciousness, the wound would heal itself! Then, when she wakes, it's gone! I imagine the same thing works if Emmeline Vance just wraps her finger with some heavy-duty plaster and falls asleep; it would be healed in the morning!

Though this is a very interesting discovery, You-Know-Who also knows about it, as well. There's no doubt that he's likely looking into using it for himself.

Well.

Private to the Trio:
Did you see? Bellatrix Lestrange knows she can't get in here. I really think it's time to go once we finish getting everything we can out of Kreacher. Katie Bell offered us a place to stay. I'm going to write to her and let her know we should be coming soon.

Also, I need to talk to you both about Regulus Black.

Private to Herself:
Pansy Parkinson does not deserve to be Head Girl.

( Private to Regulus Black )

Private to the Trio:
I'm not sure if either of you saw, but I have been speaking to a lot of these people coming back from the dead. Sirius, Lily Potter, Emmeline Vance, and Regulus Black. The latter is especially interesting because of what Ron and I might have discovered yesterday. I think R.A.B. is Sirius's brother, Regulus. He joined the Death Eaters at a young age, he was mysteriously killed, and accordingly to Regulus himself, the Ministry has no idea when he died. Even Sirius once said that he thought Regulus got in too deep and didn't know how to get out!

Unfortunately, Regulus came back shortly after being marked - a time he claims to be one of his most profound memories. So it's unlikely that we can even ask him if he is R.A.B. (though I am almost certain that he is!). It seems most of the newly living are coming back shortly after an important/happy memory, though I would need to talk to more of them before I come to that conclusion. Anyway - I tried talking to Regulus some more, but I'm sure someone wrote to him and told him I was muggleborn so he had to stop. He seemed reluctant though because he kept talking to me anyway, especially about Sirius and Kreacher. I told him that I'd only met Kreacher once though because I didn't want him showing up here with other Death Eaters and finding us.

I think you may be right about Grimmauld Place, Ron. We should leave soon, especially with Sirius and Regulus back. The house would undoubtedly recognise them as previous occupants and may let them into the wards. But I think we should talk to Kreacher about Regulus and the locket first before we leave. He may know something.

Private to the Trio:
I have both good news and bad news. And it deals with those who have been dead coming back to life once more.

Harry, your godfather is apparently alive and baiting Bellatrix Lestrange at every turn he gets in case you haven't noticed. It really is him too since I asked him a series of questions and he was able to answer nearly all of them correctly. Perhaps you should let him know that he really should be careful with what he says to her.

As for the bad news -- unfortunately, it seems that your mother - Lily and James Potter are also allegedly here and she's asking if you're safe Harry... I really don't know if we should trust that it's her, especially since there is absolutely no way of knowing for sure. So please, please don't run off and check, Harry.

At least St. Mungo's is vowing impartiality and not allowing You-Know-Who to dictate who they will and will not treat. And the Goblins have got it right, too. There's no doubt that they realise how much they gained during the Goblin Rebellion and fear losing now that He has unlawfully taken over the Ministry.

Democracy, even when stretched in the wizarding world, clearly does not exist no matter what any by-laws state.

Private to the Order of the Phoenix:
Is there really nothing we can do? Surely there must be something. I can't imagine foreign Ministries are for this, either.

( The sad truth is that excellence makes people nervous. )
