Chapter One: The Posters On The Wall

"Hermione! Hurry up! We're going to miss breakfast!" Ron screamed to Hermione from outside the Girls Dormitory.

"Just go on without me!" Hermione answered.

"Are you ok, Hermione?" asked Harry.

"I'm fine! I just have a little headache!" she said.

"Bet she studied too much for that Charms NEWT today. Her brain probably stopped working," laughed Ron. Harry laughed with him and made their way down to the Great Hall.

After Hermione cast a spell for her headache, she quickly made her way down the Grand Staircase and into the Great Hall carrying her Charms notes. She took a seat beside Harry and Ron. Without saying a word to Harry and Ron, she took a bite off her toast and opened her notes.

"You're late. Now you only have 12 minutes to finish your breakfast," Ron told Hermione. She ignored Ron and continued reading her notes and eating her breakfast.

Twelve minutes passed and everyone started leaving the Great Hall. The first to fourth years and sixth years went to their first class. The fifth and sixth years waited outside the Great Hall for their first OWLs and NEWTs of the day.

The moment they stepped in the Great Hall, they are provided with anti-cheating quills and began writing their exams. When everybody finished his or her exams, Professor Flitwick cast a spell, and all the exams went zooming to the front. They were tested then they were dismissed.

"So how was it? I think question 24 was really easy!!" she said while catching up to Ron and Harry.

"I didn't think I got that right. But the test was ok," Harry answered.

"You always do that!! It's already hard doing it once; we don't want to go over every question. You did that on our OWLs as well," Ron said annoyed.

"I only asked one question," Hermione rebutted then smiled.

She looked away from them and noticed a couple of prefects posting some kind of announcement. Harry and Ron noticed it too.

"Oh no! I forgot!!" Ron said clapping his hand on his forehead.

"What are those prefects doing?" Harry asked them.

"Haven't you heard about the Year-End Hogwarts Ball?" Hermione asked him.

"No," Harry replied.

"Well," Hermione started, "Hogwarts is going to have a Year-End Ball for all students attending the school. It will be held on Friday, which is two days from now, in the Great Hall."
"And I forgot I have to help them!" Ron continued.

" Me too. Sorry Harry," Hermione apologized.

"That's ok, I'll see you in the common room," Harry said and walked towards the Grand Staircase. He hanged out with Dean, Seamus and Neville in the common room while waiting for Ron and Hermione.

That night, Hermione sat in one of the couches and wrote in her Diary (a black notebook with a heart shaped lock and a picture of the Gryffindor crest at the front).

Dear Diary,

Well, we have our Charms NEWTs today and I have a feeling that I did very well (as I always do). I just remembered that we have a Ball on Friday. Ron and I forgot we have to post notice about it until we saw the other prefects started. We started posting announcements all over the Great Hall, Grand Staircase and the notice boards. Anyways, I need to wrap up. It's getting late. I need to go to bed and get some sleep. Night!!

Love,

Hermione
