Looking guilty, Kate glanced over at Hermione, trying to read her expression. There were a few things she could have meant, between jail and Harry, and Kate didn't want to start talking about her recent desire to light things on fire if that wasn't what Hermione was referring to. After a moment, though, she sighed, bordering on dramatic, and asked, "Jail time or Harry not coming home?"
Maybe she didn't want the whole island to know, but this was Hermione. If she didn't tell her now, she was sure Harry might mention it. She hadn't asked him to keep it quiet and there wasn't anything to be embarrassed about, anyway. It had been stupid, she knew that, but she'd been so stoned that she hadn't known what she was doing. Not the best excuse, but still sort of a reason.
Besides, Hermione didn't look pissed. So if it was about the bookshelf, at least Kate thought she might escape another lecture about it. She'd heard a few now, from the cop, of course, but also something that sort of resembled a lecture coming from Jeff, of all people. On the other hand, maybe Hermione hadn't known about it at all. Maybe she'd only been referring to Harry, in which case Kate hoped she ignored the bit about jail time.
