Hermione woke up gasping. She had the same dream every night. She wanted to know why she suddenly started to dream of him, of all people to dream about. She ran her fingers through her brown bushy mane and sighed just as a tapping noise was heard to her left. She went to her bedroom window and opened the curtains. There on her windowsill was a brown owl, he wasn't as pretty as Hedwig but Harry thought that he was perfect. She opened the window and the owl hooted flying in and landing onto her bed. She went over to it and it hooted again holding out its left leg. She carefully took the letter and handed Emus an owl treat, he hooted again and flied out of the window. Hermione sat on her bed and opened the envelope and took the piece of parchment out and unfolded it. Harry had written this letter, his untidy scrawl was easily recognized.

Hermione,

Me and Ginny are having a dinner to celebrate our engagement, we would love if you came, you can bring a date if you so wish. The dinner is Friday at our house. Hoping you come.

Harry x

Hermione put the letter down beside her and her mind instantly showed her the man she had been dreaming about.

"No I can't take him, I mean seriously." She said and climbed back into bed. She forgot the window was open when another owl swept in and landed on her. She frowned and took the letter off of Pigwidgeon. He flew excitedly out the window and she opened the letter whiles getting out of bed and closing the window.

Hermione,

Are you going to Harry's dinner this Friday? If so who with?

Ron

She didn't reply to neither letter, instead she climbed back into bed and fell back to sleep, dreaming once again of the one person she knew she could and should never have.
