The morning had been spent Apparating around Britain looking for a working press. By the time Hermione had arrived home, answered a couple of owls from Percy, and had a small lunch, she was ready to take a walk. There were too many thoughts in her mind right now for her to make sense of anything, even with her lists and notes.

That made perfect sense ( ... )

"No, I'm sorry. I don't have any sheep," she said. "My name is Hermione Granger, not Bo Peep." After speaking, she realized that the Muggle reference would probably be lost on him. To cover, she continued. "Unfortunately, even Miss Peep lost her sheep. I've heard they're fiendish in that way."

Gilderoy nodded as if he knew Miss Peep, personally. "Aah yes, quite the tragedy. Why, one would think they had been stolen away by some geese animagi in the middle of the night ( ... )
