Hermione finds a number she doesn't know in her phone, so she texts it to see who it belongs to.

I looked at the number again. Who did it belong to? It wasn't like I had a whole load of friends it could belong to. I only had two good friends, an ex I was friendly with, and a few people at university and my job that I spoke to. I'm a bit confused.

Should I text it to see who it belonged to. No that was silly. It didn't matter who it belonged to, but I was just a bit too curious to let it go and delete the number. So I ignored my logical side to just delete it and decided to text this random person.

[10.04] hi I was just wondering who this was? Found your number in my phone with no contact.

{10.06} hello I'm not surprised you don't remember me, you were pretty drunk.

[10.07]? We met? When?

{10.10} at ginny's party

[10.11] you know ginny?

{10.12} yeah we were in high school together, and we've kept in contact since. She's so lovely and was always kind to me.

[10.15] sorry I don't remember talking to anyone at ginny's party. I was being at bit anti social tbh

{10.17} don't worry as I said you were pretty drunk. But you were really nice and interesting to talk to :-)

[10.20] em ok. Since this is like a first meeting again, should we introduce ourselves?

{10.24} that'd be great. Don't want you forgetting me again ;-) I'm luna

[10.27] I'm hermione. So are you in uni? I'm studying history. But I won't bore you with details. No one ever likes it when I talk about what I'm studying.

{10.30} I'm sure whatever you talk about is interesting. You spoke a bit about what you were learning in history on Saturday. I found it fascinating. I'm at uni yes. I'm studying to be a vet. I just love animals.

[10.50] so do I. I've got a cat. A big ball of ginger fluff called crookshanks. Do you have any pets?

{10.55} I do. I have a cat also, she's called nargle. She's a bit like a snowball.

[11.02] I hope I'm not coming across as weird for just randomly texting you. And continuing a conversation. I guess I seem a bit lonely. I might be a little bit. With university and my job I don't see what little friends I do have all that much. And I don't really speak to my parents. Sorry for rambling.

{11.06} well I'm a bit lonely too. I only have one good friend who I only see every now and again. Then there are the some people I talk to at uni and work. But we're not friends. I hope we could eventually become friends. You did seem really nice when I spoke to on Saturday.

[11.09] I would like if we did. Anyway I've got to go now, I've got class in an hour and I need to get ready for it. Have a good day x x

{11.10} have a lovely day and enjoy class. I'll speak to you later x x

As I put my phone down and went to get ready, I had a big smile on my face. I think I made a friend. I will definitely text her later and get to know her.

A few streets over Luna was also smiling.

It had taken all me courage to speak to Hermione on Saturday at Ginny's party. When I found out Hermione was going, I made sure to go. I had had a crush on her since high school. But was the year below her and was always seen as the weird girl. No one noticed me except to make fun of me.

I had moved on from her crush, had a girlfriend, although the relationship didn't last long. It wasn't until I started in my part time job in a book shop that I ran into Hermione again. We had only ever passed when changing shifts as we never worked at the same time. But I noticed her. Her crush came back. But I kept my distance not wanting to seem weird or be stalkery.

It wasn't until Ginny told me she was having a party and listed off who was going to be there, that I though I could try and talk to her. When she got to the party, it had been jumping. Loud music playing and lots of people talking and laughing. Hermione had been sitting in a corner with a book. Not paying attention to anyone. So I got my courage up, and decided to talk to her. She was a bit drunk. But I was so happy I did. Then she wanted to exchange numbers. I never actually thought she would text me.
