354 Scolded To Tears

Harry shudders when he hears her and turns his head to look at her, "Hermione?"

She sprints at him and pull him off of the ledge and into herself, Harry loses his footing and falls onto of her and immediately starts apologising, thinking that he'd hurt her. "Did I land on you? Are you hurt? I'm sorry!" he says, barely being able to make out her tearful face.

Hermione "WHAT ARE YOU THINKING!" She shouts as she hugs him closely while on her back.

The Boy-who-lived stutters and begins to try and explain but is interrupted by the furious girl.

Hermione "Why would you ever feel the need to do something like that! Is it because of Sirius? The tournament? Ron? Or am I just not good enough!" she shouts, tears streaming down her face.

Harry "Hermione I-" she interupts him again, "NO! Just... Don't say anything" she says, holding him tightly in an embrace"

Harry hugs her back and starts to tear up, "I-I'm sorry." he says before breaking down and sobbing into her shoulder.

Reima steps beside Ciri as the both watch everything that'd happened. He was still angry with her lying to him and only placing her name into the Goblet but this isn't the time nor place to talk about it, that and it's currently a full moon and he was hoping he could start training her animagus transformation after tonight. He decides to try and accomplish what he can tonight and deal with her tomorrow, as well as Hermione and Harry.

Reima "It's still a full moon, think you can meditate without thinking about... All this?" he gestures to the downed duo.

Ciri nods, "I want to speak with them though, to finally apologise as I'm partly responsible for this."

Reima "I'll leave a note with them for them to meet up with us tomorrow in the kitchens, for now lets just leave them on their own." he says and spies another tower that doesn't look accessible from anywhere else and teleporting him and his companion to it, Snuffles gives a squeak and they disappear.

Hermione feels something ruffle in her pocket but doesn't take notice as she was fully focused on her best friend, she hadn't thought that he would be someone who would try to do something like this but apparently she was wrong. She was about to go to sleep when a white wolf patronus came and whispered to her that Harry was about to jump off the Astronomy tower. She didn't even have time to properly get dressed as she sprinted to the roof to stop him. Right now she was still in her pyjama's, though she couldn't help but notice the lack of her bra as Harry's arms wrapped around her tightly. "You're stupid you know that?" she says gently to him, only receiving and nod in response that causes a small smile to appear on her face.

After Reima teleports them to another empty tower he immediately sits in his meditative stance to begin trying to integrate what Professor Mcgonagall had begun to teach him. He had entered her cla.s.s to try and "Fix the problem with his eyes" as everyone a.s.sumed they were similar to Madam Hooch's, in that it was an animagus accident. It didn't take much else to convince her to help him as he was clearly skilful enough in transfiguration to make it work.

Ciri sits beside him with Snuffles on her lap, she tries to concentrate but she can't help but think about what'd just happened. She'd seen people commit suicide before but they were imprisoned by Leo Bonhart or enslaved by the Wild Hunt, she hadn't even imagined that someone in such a relatively peaceful place would even think of such a thing. But thinking on it she could see why he would feel this way, she was partly responsible afterall.

Reima "Ciri, stop thinking about external things and concentrate on the here and now. You'll have an opportunity to speak to them tomorrow." he states with his eyes still closed.

She grumbles but doesn't reply, she was still wary of whatever punishment she'd receive for going against him like an petulant child, yes she knew how it looked but she felt the need to prove herself and try to gain strength.

Eventually Ciri managed to clear her mind and began looking for her Animagus animal yet again, like last time it felt like a thick fog was dulling her senses, like her animal was hiding in thick black smoke and would only peek it's head out when she wasn't looking. Weirdly she began to think about the sensation she'd felt while flying on her broom, the black smoke around her reminded her of clouds as she flew by them. She continued to follow this sensation until the black smoke began to brighten, turning into what looked like grey clouds into white fluffy ones with a blue backdrop. "I'm in the sky" she murmurs as her form flies into a cloud and explodes out of the end of it, she wipes her moist face due to the cloud and opens her eyes, only to have her mouth drop in awe of what's before her.

Ciri "Are you my animal?" she asks, scanning it's huge form and having to turn her head to see it entirely.
