The Secret Admirer

Chapter 1 Author: Cornette Disclaimer: Jk Rowling, bless her!



`Wow, Hermione,look!`

Hermione turned, and saw Ginny Weasley, with a delighted expression, pointing at Hermione`s four poster bed. Hermione walk to her bed and bent down, pick the flower and smiled. It was a fresh sunflower with a little parchament in her pillow. She inhaled its sweet scent.

`Who gives you that, Hermione ..` asked Ginny eagerly. Hermione simply shook her head, still smiling.

`I don't know, Gin. I just want to say thank you to whoever it was.`answered Hermione happily.

For around this 2 months Hermione always found some nice little surprise sent by anonymus person. It was always a sunflower and a piece of parchament, usually a sweet poem or just short messages like `sleep well, have a sweet dream` . Only Ginny knew this. They was very curious about the mysterious sender and investigated, but found nothing. But they think the sender was a male and he was a student in Hogwarts, because he seem to knew Hermione very well, as if he was watching her everyday. Hermione didn't mind receiving such present, truthfully she enjoyed being cared so sweetly.

`It was like in romance novel, Hermione, a secret admirer. You are sooo lucky.`gushed Ginny with a dreamy expression.

`Come on, Gin! Its not like the person was my secret admirer.` said Hermione, but none the less giggling sheepishly.

Chuckling, Hermione went to the commonroom to meet her friends. She saw one of her best friend Harry Potter, sitting alone in a red fluffy couch near the firelight, reading .

`Hi, Harry, where`s Ron?.`asked Hermione fastly as she took a seat beside Harry. Harry looked up and smiled, make his bright green eyes sparkled. He put his book (Everything About Quidditch by Ruben Rayburn) down carefully on the table before answered.

`Oh, hi Hermione. Ron is still in the Owlery, I think he is on the way here.` said Harry, and then, smiling, he watched Hermione closely.` Hermione.what is it? You look so happy.again.`

Hermione blushed, try to erase her smile, but failed. Harry laughed, and teased her unmercifully.

`Hermione, tell me, im your friend after all. Is it something with boys ? ` teased Harry, nudged her.

`It's a secret okay? Secret makes woman beautiful.` quoted Hermione mockingly, but she laughed too.

`Ron!` called Harry suddenly, to a tall, red haired figure who just walk in. Ron saw them and make a way to them. By a moment Ron came, the laughter immedietly died. Ron was very angry, by the look in his face and his balled fist. His blue eyes were clouded with rage, and his movement was very stiff.

`What happened, Ron ?` asked Hermione anxiously as Ron sat in front of them. Ron stay silent, he looked down with a furious expression in his face. Ron took deep breaths, as if to calm himself. Harry and Hermione exchange worried glances . They wondered why their bestfriend looked very angry like this, one hour ago he was in a perfect mood.

`Ron.are you okay?` asked Harry in his softest tone. Ron looked up, with dangerous glint in his eyes. Hermione knew the danger was coming and she bit her lip, ready to everything Ron`ll do,. Second later Ron hit the table very loudly, make everyone in the common room jumped.

`Ugly bastard! I HATE HIM!` shout Ron angrily, make heads turned. `What are you staring at?`snapped Ron sharply to them. They turn their head to the proper place and started whisp ering to each other. Hermione jumped to her feet and sat beside Ron, to sooth him.

`Shhh, Ron. Calm down..Honestly, what happened?` said Hermione, patting Ron`s shoulder gently.

`Malfoy. We met in the corridor. That git insulted me, so I punch him. Ha! I bet its hurt, right in the jaw! Really, he deserve it. But unfortunately Snape come, and give me detention. You know what the detention is(tt) Cleaned the nasty dungeon for two weeks! Without magic! Plus said sorry to Malfoy. I cant stand him! Just imagining his arrogant face if I said sorry make my blood boil!` explained Ron hotly. Hermione nodded several times, but not surprised much. She knew Malfoy is a great impudent bastard. Harry, in the other hand, was shaking his head, frowning.

`I`m sorry to hear that, Ron. But you shouldn`t let Malfoy get you again.`said Harry calmly. Ron groaned in frustation.

`Its okay if he insult me, really. But if he started to insult you, Hermione, and my *family *, all I want to do is kill him.`said Ron in such helpless face.

Hermione sat still, feeling anger building inside her body. Poor Ron, why Malfoy always insulted him in the most hurtful point ?She can let things like this happened and happened again after six years. It`s time to talk to Malfoy, to make some Peace Charter or if it can`t, make a strict warn.

She think Malfoy was changed. But that kind of thought erased quickly from her mind. Actually Malfoy never teased or insulted her anymore. He seemed to lost his interest in Hermione. Hermione was delighted, thought think he had growing-up. But it was wrong, and she need some action here.

`Hermione, where are you going? ` asked Harry when she leave Ron and Harry, walking to the potrait hole.

`Library!` shouted Hermione in replay, lied.

* * *

Hermione was searched all over Hogwarts for Malfoy. Its rather odd, isnt it ? When you looked for someone, he never been there . So Hermione asked everyone she met, especially Slytherins. But nobody knew where is he . When she thought of giving up, she heard that too familiar voice from a dark corner.

`Im really busy, you know . Ask somebody too accompany you.`said Malfoy in a bored but annoyed voices.

Now Hermione can see her worst enemy Draco Malfoy. He was leaning to the wall, with a Slytherin fifth year called Trudy. something. Draco was now very tall, and handsome too. With his silvery blue eyes and blond hair and his sexy arrogant smirk. And his cool manner, too, make every girl attracted to him. He had reputation of a playboy in the school. Hermione, however, never think of him more than an annoying git. She didn't even care if Malfoy was one of the handsomest boy in Hogwarts.

`Draco Malfoy, I want a word with you.` said Hermione when she reached them. They looked both surprised seeing her. Trudy was hanging childishly in Malfoy`s arm, . They were standing very close, to Hermione`s disgust. She knew they were snogging here, but she didn't came for throwing up, she came to talk.

`I don't care who you are. But I privately think it was very rude to come here without our invitation.` said Trudy snobly with a high pitched voice, still not letting go Malfoy`s arm. Hermione glared sharply at this silly and mock girl. She was just a fifth year and she think she owned the school! But Hermione didn't think so, she hate that type of girl..

`Can you just shut up your big mouth up(tt) I didn`t ask for your opinion, I`m talking to Malfoy. And I privately think * that * was rude.` snapped Hermione evilly. Trudy immedietly fell silent, didn't dare to spoke again. Malfoy was just stood there, watching them as if they was an attraction special for him. He did`nt speak nor move.

`Malfoy, I reaaly want a word with you.`said Hermione in same sharp tone. `Okay.`said Malfoy coolly, with expressionless face.

They leave Trudy alone, and entered one empty class. Hermione turned and face Malfoy, looking him straight in the eyes. Now he looked so handsome, yet so. so innocent stood like this. His silvery eyes make Hermione`s anger faded slightly. She didn't know why, but that`s happen.

`Malfoy, I just want to ask you something. Could you stop insulting my friend? Maybe you think you are so rich, so handsome, and have all the power. But in my eyes, you are nothing but a bastard! You hear me ? Bastard! You have no rights to insult Ron about his family finance. You have no rights to insult Harry because his fame. I hope you realized this, you are the most pathetic person I`ve ever seen in my live! Your purpose of living is to make other people miserable. And that was pathetic. Now, say why you didn't insult me anymore? `asked Hermione hotly after the long, angry speech.

Malfoy stood still, watching her intently. She saw his pale cheeks reddening a little because of anger. He was frowning and looked very serious, but didn't do anything, .yet. What happening with him ?Its not like the old Malfoy. Malfoy she knew will return her words ten times more nasty.

`What`s up ?Lost your tounge ? Don't acted like a fine young gentleman, I know you are`nt.`said Hermione again.

With fascination she saw Malfoy, trying very hard to control his anger. Hermione smirked when the word she searched hit her.

`Or you.scared ? `asked Hermione, with a nasty smile. Malfoy suddenly make a swift movement and before Hermione knew, Malfoy mas gripping her right arm firmly. She dared to looked up and met his deep silvery pool, he was now very close to her, his head almost on top of her. Hermione can feel his rage, he was short breath and very red in face.

`But you are scared, arent you little Slytherin ? `Hermione bravely, spite her thumping heart. Malfoy mumble something furiously under his breath and his grip in her arm tightened. It took all of Hermione`s dignity not to squeak in front of him , even if it hurts a little.

`What ? `is all Hermione can say, she was a little dizzy.

`Just shut up.and let me kiss you.`
