to boldly go...
Who: Harry and Hermione
What: Quality time under a cloak
Where: Ministry of Magic
When: Backdated to Friday November 7, morning
Status: Complete
Squeezing under the cloak like this had been far easier when they were eleven, Hermione thought distractedly as she tried to keep her eyes on the Ministry's main entrance. She wanted to have the general procedure memorised, as well as any common variants thereof, so that anything that may come up when they were finally ready to do this properly would not come as a surprise to them. Still, it would have been easier if she were able to sneak closer to the thrum of people so that she could hear what they were saying rather than just trying to lip read; she was afraid that any use of magic to enhance the sound would be detected, which was the absolute last thing they needed at this moment.
Intent aside, it was nearly impossible to make herself comfortable, and she did not want to move around too much lest she either dislodge the cloak or annoy Harry so badly that he would inadvertently call attention to them both. She was beginning to think that only one of them should have come, the other going to talk to the people they needed to warn away, but a larger part of her was afraid they would still miss something even with the two of them, and so decided to keep silent. This was difficult enough without her second guessing herself.
