She examined the book for a few seconds before responding. I do think you’re ready, it’s just…” Hermione said, trailing off. Hermione considered the point for a second. You and the guys have gone on crazy adventures the past how many years? If you could cast dangerous spells then, that means I’m ready now!” Ginny said with an annoyed tone. “What do you mean? We’re practically the same age, and I’m only one year behind you. “I better make sure that this thing is completely safe before we start learning together…” Hermione said, before gently taking the book back from Ginny. “Do you think we could start tonight?” Ginny said, looking back toward Hermione. Ginny closed the book and flipped it over to examine the back. Hermione just hoped they could get the same education through each other as they would through traditional school. It made sense for the two to form an illegal “Study Group” together. Hermione always found the greatest joy from new knowledge, and Ginny simply loved learning new spells. Ginny brought up the fact Luna’s book could teach the two of them brand new spells. After a constructive conversation though, the two figured out a way for this partnership to work. It made sense given the state of things, but they simply had never had the closest friendship. If she was being honest with herself, she had been caught off guard initially when Ginny asked her to teach her new spells. On the way back she pondered how things would play out between her and Ginny. She made her way back to the Gryffindor common room instantly to tell Ginny the good news. Hermione had been practically dumbfounded in that moment but decided to take her victory and not argue with it. She shook her head, then gave Hermione her trademark warm smile before skipping off. “… Oh, and don’t use the spell on, I had to spend three weeks constantly clipping my toenails after that one…” Luna said, before looking unpleasantly at her feet. I etched out the spells that were dangerous.” Luna had said after handing over the book. No one had learned a single spell in months. Defense against the Dark Arts was a shell of its former self. Ever since Umbridge turned the whole school on its head, classes were practically a joke. She understood better than anyone Hogwarts had become a much different place. Hermione expected a long-winded fight.Īs it turned out though, Luna was rather sympathetic to Hermione. The book was the last thing Luna had of her mother at this point. She knew it’d be a hard sell, given the fact Luna’s mother literally died over making up new spells. Hermione originally had an entire speech concocted to try and convince Luna to give up her mother’s experimental spell book. I told her you and I have been trying to study new spells together, and what we’ve been learning in class just hasn’t been enough!” Hermione said to the still wide-eyed Ginny. Hermione exhaled through her nose and smirked. “She told us she’d never give up her mother’s book! What did you do? Tell her you’d subscribe to The Quibbler for life?” Ginny said with a sly smile and a wink. She slowly shook her head, then looked back up at Hermione. “Hermione this is amazing, I-I can’t believe you actually convinced her! I thought she was never going to budge…” Ginny said before reading a few lines of text. With eyes the size of the moon, Ginny instantly flipped it open and started quickly flipping through the pages. “Yes!” Hermione exclaimed, before finally handing the book to Ginny. With an ecstatic smile, Hermione nodded her head and held the book up. “You got it?!” Ginny said to Hermione enthusiastically.
