Chapter 1
"I hope you stop eating like that" said Hermione, she was talking to Ron. They were all in the great hall having lunch. Ron was stuffing his mouth with food and drinking at the same time, Hermione was disgusted, Harry grinned at Hermione.
"What? I'm hungry?" He said with his mouth full, holding a piece of chicken in his hand and a cup of water in the other. Hermione looked annoyed, Harry started laughing, but suddenly stopped when the person he mostly hates passed, Draco Malfoy.
"Having a blast, aren't we?" Draco said in sarcasm.
"I don't recall hearing someone ordering you to serve him? Or did you get new orders from your papa's old pal Voldemort." Harry smirked.
"You…you…" Then suddenly Malfoy held himself from saying anything, instead he just walked by. It was shocking to Ron, Harry, and Hermione. Malfoy left the chance of hurting someone??. That was the question that ran in the trio's heads. Hermione excused herself to got to the girls dormitory to get her books.
"See you later guys" She said. When she walked out of the Great Hall, she decided that she'll take a walk beside first. She arrived at the lake, she found the everything was so peaceful, she took the chance of relaxing a bit from her studying. She sat down in her favorite spot under the tree, looking at her reflection in the lake, when she saw a darker reflection in the lake, it was the annoying boy in blond hair.
"Please don't disturb my peace with your face, Malfoy" Hermione said looking at his reflection, she didn't like what she said, but she was so relaxed to have any annoyance.
"You're the one whose sitting in my favorite place" he said pointing at the place where Hermione was sitting. Hermione was surprised then said.
"Really? Remind me to change mine, to the other end of the planet." She said and to increase her amazement Malfoy laughed, but he suddenly hid it, and turned back to the evil Malfoy. Hermione stood up and went her way.
When she entered the girls dormitory she found on her bed a transparent box with a red rose in it, she took it and found a card with it. There was a poem written in it.
Roses are red
Violets are blue
No one in school
Is as lovely as you
Hermione smiled, she wondered who could it be, there was no name signed. She thought it must be Ron, he finally had the courage to tell her his feelings, She ran to the common room holding the rose and the card, she found Ron and Harry there. She decided to make sure it was him first.
"Ron"
"Hm?" he looked at her happy face.
"Did you send this?" she asked holding up the things. Ron looked at the rose and the card, his ear reddened a bit before he said "No". Hermione was surprised, who is it then?, She looked at Harry but he shook his head.
Hermione sat down in thought, who could be this secret admirer?, She heard each girl in the common room gossiping about it. A girl came running quickly to her and gave her a letter and told her,
"You forgot this" Hermione took it quickly and without thinking she opened the letter. It said,
Dear Hermione,
I am someone you know and don't at the same time. I've been admiring you for a while now, but I don' have the courage to face you with the real me, since I know your feelings towards me. But now I do, my admiration turned into love, I can't believe that I'm saying this but I am madly in Love with you. If you want to know who I am , meet me in front of the Great Hall at 7 o'clock today. If you don't come I'll understand and won't bother you again. I only ask one thing, please don't reject me before you've heard me out.
Love
Your secret lover
Hermione's face reddened a bit and became hot. She had a secret admirer, He's so sweet She thought. She folded the letter and realized that everyone in the common room was looking at her, when they found that she noticed they all found something to do. She turned to Harry and Ron, They both wore different expressions. Ron looked angry but he controlled himself, but Harry wore a bright smile on his face and told her,
"So who's your secret admirer?" He asked.
"I dunno" She answered dreamily, "here, maybe you could figure him out." She handed them the letter and put her head on the hand of the arm chair. Harry and Ron read the letter.
"What have you done to the poor kid? You're driving him crazy" Harry told her, "I told you stop being so beautiful" Hermione if possible blushed more.
"Should I go?" She asked
"Of course you should go. You'll break his heart if you don't." Hermione always knew that Harry was sensitive and caring but she never thought him to be that sensitive. Hermione decided that she will go, but what did he mean by 'I don't have the courage to face you with the real me, since I know your feelings towards me' ?
