Gringotts & The Knight Bus
Due to losing this chapter three different times I have lost motivation to write this as of now. I may chose to pick this up again later down the line, but right now this work is abandoned. I am very sorry but with everything going on for me irl + my bad mental health I just can't do this right now. As an apology & so this 'chapter' isn't a complete disappointment I will put a snippet of something that was going to occur many chapters down the line. Once again sorry, & enjoy.

Quickly running back to her room Harriet proceeded to down a Weakness Potion, a Snuffling Potion, a Fatiguing Infusion, a Dizziness Draught, and a Drowsiness Draught one after the other. Quickly stashing the now empty vials into the bottom of her trunk and locking it she dashed over to her bed and collapsed, for the first time thanking Merlin that her hair always looked like she had just rolled out of bed.
Not even a few minutes later Ron’s loud wine of her name came echoing from the outside of the girls dorms. “Hariiiiiiiii… Mate come out. I just want to talk to you. I didn’t mean to make you mad!”
Harriet, under the influence of the five different potions really didn’t want to move, and even if she wasn’t affected by them she wouldn’t was to talk to Ron anyways. He was a massive git. After about 5 minutes of Ron calling for her to come out in various different ways a rather grumpy sounding girl came out of her dorm and snapped at Ron that Harriet clearly didn’t want to talk to him so he should just go away and stop disturbing everyone in the dorms. Harriet didn’t know who her saviour was but if the girl appeared in front of her right now, she would kiss her.
A few minutes later Harriet had nearly dosed off due to the potions in her system when Hermione came marching into her room. Harriet was going to kill Ron. Why did he have to go get Hermione?! Now she was going to get lectured about something (she didn’t know what yet but it was almost guaranteed to happen).
Hermione opened her mouth to start speaking when she looked down at Harriet and stopped. “Are you alright Harriet? You look terrible.”
“Thanks for noticing.” Harriet responded glaring up at the other girl from her position on her bed. “Do you need to see Madam Pomfery?” “No. What I need is for you and Ronald to go away so I can sleep. It’s the weekend and I should at least get to try and sleep in on one of the few days it’s not mandatory for me to get up.” “You're tired then.” “Yes! I didn’t get enough sleep last night and you and Ronald are interrupting my attempts to rest! Now, leave.” Harriet said crossly gesturing towards the door as she did so.
To Harriet’s eternal relief Hermione did as she asked and left her room. She locked the door behind the girl as she went. Now she just needed to take her other potions that would counteract the ones she had taken earlier in order to sell her ‘I’m feeling terrible’ act to Hermione. She couldn’t wait until this whole entire sneaking around thing was no longer necessary and she didn’t have to pretend to like her so called friends. Full nights of sleep would be nice too.
