Corridor near the Library
Hermione walks down the corridor on her way to the library. She's got books to return in her arms and plans to check more out, especially hoping to poke about and see what she can dig up concerning the mark on Ron's arm. She's thinking about the mark, then her thoughts turn to Ron and unconsciously a smile appears on her face, her step becomes lighter, and her pace becomes a little quicker. Despite her happy mood, determination overtakes her, and she silently vows to stay in the library until she knows something more about that awful thing on his arm.
