A Rare Beauty

'Ouch' Hermione thought after she banged her forearm on her desk. She looked down at her desk and saw a letter from Ginny. It read:

Hermione,

Yesterday, we went to a library (a wizards one), and my boyfriend was there. I think you might have heard of him, his name is Dean Thomas. Well, anyway, we went to the back of the library, and snogged. Nothing-unusual there, but then Ron saw us. Now he won't stop bugging me about the incident. What will happen when I have a fiancé? Good luck on those OWL exams, you should get them back soon,

Ginny

'Why can't I have guys that would love that? For once in my stupid life, I would love to beat Ginny at her own game. I'll say, no one acknowledges that I'm around. Well, except for Harry, Ron, and Ginny, but they don't really count because they're just friends,' Hermione thought.

"Honey? Could you take care of the front desk today? The secretary just called in sick!" Mrs. Granger yelled up the stairs.

"Okay, I got it!" Hermione answered her, and grabbed a quill, some ink, and some spare parchment. 'You can't be serious,' Hermione thought when she saw the large crowd in front of the desk. "Everyone, please form a line," She told the crowd, but no one moved. 'Okay, I'll just have to do this the hard way,' she thought.

"Hermione? Could you grab the remote for the television? I think some of the kids would like to watch TV," Her father told her.

"Honey? Could you check the schedule? I need to know if Angelina Miles has an appointment tomorrow. She's on the phone right now," Mrs. Granger asked her.

Hermione's summer sure wasn't going as she had planned.


Author's Note: Please, tell me what you think. Please? I'm begging you. Don't worry; it'll only be like this for I'm thinking the first two chapters. Then, she'll go to Ron's or Harry's or something. Oh, I'm also sorry that it was so short. As I write, the chapters will get longer.
