27. Owl
“Run...while you can.”
“Ron! Shut the damn bird up.” Ron glared at the bushy haired girl. “I'm trying.” Stupid owl.
He hooted and swooped down and landed on Hermione's head. She let out an uncharacteristic squeal. “Stay still, 'Mione.” Hermione whimpered as Ron lifted up the first heavy book he could find and - “Ron, no!” shouted Harry – swung.
Whack! Hermione could feel the bump swelling on her head and Pig flew up, squawking, scared out of his life.
Ron paled. He hit Hermione.
She smiled and said too calmly, “Run...while you can.”
