Hermione rolled over in bed once more, her brain begging for just a few more minutes of precious sleep. Contrary to popular belief, she did not like to awake at the crack of dawn and study. Even she had the decency to leave reading her textbooks to the decent hour of seven on weekdays and nine on weekends. It was only eight seventeen on a Sunday morning, meaning she still had time to sleep. Unfortunately, God seemed to have it in for her that morning. As she rolled, she rolled over onto something hard and round as her face smashed into a piece of paper. She groaned.

"I thought I cleared all this crap out of my bed," she grumbled, picking her head up. She looked at the piece of paper her face had come in contact with. It appeared to be a letter.

Dear Miss Granger,

When we attempted to wake you up for the festivities, you mumbled something quite Anglo-Saxon and hexed Professor Flitwick. We would just like to inform you that Professor Flitwick is fine and as soon as you arise, you are welcome to join to Easter Egg Hunt. Eggs can be found all throughout the castle and the grounds. Approximately ten thousand eggs are hidden. Nine thousand nine hundred ninety nine of the eggs contain chocolates, toffees, and other sweets as prizes. Extra prizes will be given to the person from each year that collects the most eggs. The grand prize, however, is the one remaining egg containing a bottle of Felix Felicis Potion. The hunt ends when the last egg is found. Have fun hunting!

Happy Easter!

Headmaster Albus Dumbledore

Hermione let the facts of the note sink in. Then she reached for the round object she had rolled on top of. It was an egg, large and hinged like the eggs Harry had retrieved from the first task in the Triwizard Tournament. When she opened it, a large quantity of Honeyduke's chocolate bon-bon Easter egg candies fell out. Popping one of the butter cream variety into her mouth, she thought. She wanted to sleep… but she really, really wanted that bottle of potion. It took her approximately thirty seconds to reach a decision, another two hundred twenty three seconds to get dressed, and ten seconds to stuff her uncontrollably curly hair into a pony tail. Taking her wand from her pocket, she transfigured a piece of spare parchment into a large wicker basket. With her basket in hand, she was ready to conquer the Easter Egg Hunt.
