"Well I'll be darned…take a look at this!" said Harry excitedly as he unwrapped one of his many his Christmas presents.
"What is it? Is it the new edition of "Berty Botts Every Flavor Beans"? asked Ron. A smile grew huge on his face as he thought of all the wonderful flavors.
"No Ronald…of course not. You're the only human being on this planet who would every get excited about that. Well show us Harry." Hermione stared at the boys as they crowded around the gift.
Ron's eyes grew huge as he stared into the wrapping paper. Hermione stared curiously trying to see over the ends of paper surrounding the secret gift.
"What is it?" she asked impatiently, "Show me."
But neither one of the boys moved.
"Ugh, alright…don't show me." She looked around the Gryfindor tree and found a gift for herself. "Ooooh…I wonder who this is from." She opened the gift a pulled out a pink, purple, red, green, and orange sweater. She held it up and saw that there was a huge black "H" on the front. "This must be from your mother, huh Ron?"
Ron and Harry both just stared at Harry's new gift. Hermione had grown more than a little suspicious of this mysterious gift. She went over and sat down next to Ron. Soon enough, she too was staring into the gift, which appeared to be a crystal. She then realized why both boys had been staring. For inside the genuine crystal was a face. Not a face that any of them had recognized. Then the face vanished and all three of them shook their heads.
Hermione opened her last gift while Ron and Harry sat around her watching. "I can't believe you both just tore through your gifts. Why don't you open it slowly like me and treasure the moment?"
Then as soon as the opened the delicate little box, her eyes shone brightly. "Oh my…who is this from?! It's beautiful!" She slipped the tiny diamond ring on her finger. She scurried around looking for a card and finally found on attached to the wrapping paper, She read it aloud: "Hermione, I am sure I will get many Christmas presents this year but there is only one I truly want…you. Happy Christmas. Love, your secret admirer." Did you hear that…I have a secret admirer!" She stood up twirled around and examined her, now, beautifully decorated finger.
Harry stared shockingly at the ring.
"Harry…what's wrong? Harry!" Hermione waved her hand violently in front of Harry's face. He then looked at Ron. He had recognized that ring. He found it on Ron's dresser the other day when he was in the dorm. He vaguely remembered Ron writing a note the other day and placing it near the little box.
The ring was from Ron! Ron was Hermione's secret admirer!
