From the Diary of Hermione Granger

March 8th, 1987

7:36pm

Today was unbearably draining. My hand aches from slapping my boyfriend, Harry, with such ferociousness that it left a big red blotch on his face. And then, out of the blue, I got a wonderful note of heartfelt love from a secret admirer. :) It was the sweetest thing, but honestly I am just so fumed right now that I can't even begin to explain it. I am just so livid at Harry…and Cho! Just picturing that image in my head makes me want to gag. But even though I am angry as living hell, maybe writing down what happened will get things out of my mind.

So I was headed back to the Gryffindor common room when I all of the sudden remembered that I had hidden my diary in the Room of Requirement. So, I went back to get it. I opened the Room of Requirement, and grabbed my diary, it was in the very front, but then I realized I wasn't the only one there. There hidden behind some of the shelves was something moving. And being the curious girl I am, I went to see what it was, and to my amazement it was Harry and Cho snogging. They were so immersed in each other that they didn't even realize I was there! So, without even thinking I went up to Harry and slapped him viciously, and ended our relationship. I felt totally and completely accomplished in the moment but as soon as I left the room of requirement I burst into tears. So I ran to the library, but as soon as I got into a good book a note came flying at me out of nowhere. This is what it said:

I have something to tell you, though I will never really have the courage to show myself, for you are the Gryffindor with the brave heart. I stand in your midst day by day admiring your courage and your knowledge. I only hope that you would someday accept love from someone as low and cowardly as me.

With All of my Heart,

Your Secret Admirer

My suspicions were of Ron, considering the fact that he was eyeing Harry jealously just the other day! And even though he's been skipping class to snog with that Lavender girl, I still think he is in the middle of liking her and me...But he is a Gryffindor and has nowhere near the heart to be as kind as this letter…who could this mysterious man be?

Sincerely,

Hermione Granger

"Hermione, wait up," Ron yelled across the hallway. He stopped abruptly once he got to her, and sat down, panting.

"Stop being such a slow poke!"

"Hey, that's not fair," he exclaimed, seeming very hurt," I can't believe you would say something like that to me!"

"What, have you forgotten that I'm Hermione Granger, and not your precious Lavender?"

"Leave her out of this!" Ronald's face had turned as red as his hair, and his ears seemed to be steaming wildly.

"Why not keep her in the conversation; after all it's not me who's skipping to go snog with her every class!"

"…"Ron became even more fumed and he stalked off, cursing under his breath.

"Well, maybe he can realize now that I don't like him back. No more love letters for me," Hermione exclaimed.

Hermione headed off to her next class, transfiguration. Half way through transfiguration, a note flew out of nowhere and landed right in the middle of Hermione's desk. She picked it up and hid it from Professor McGonagall. She wanted so badly for class to end that it seemed like the class took forever. Finally Hermione got out of class; she took out the note and started reading…

Go to the library, look for Hogwarts A History.

With All of my Heart,

Your Secret Admirer

"Hmm…who is this secret admirer…?"
