Hey! look I don't know what you guys have thought of the first ch. but what you are going to read now was shadowed in it. You'll see in my stories that you have to take in even the smallest of info. I hope you enjoy it.

Two days have passed by and I still can't think of who the person was. I've made a list and checked it time and time again. I've replayed his voice over and over trying to find anyone on the list he could sound like...Nothing. Slamming the book I was trying to read. I walked over to the desk laying the book down. I saw the letter from Harry which I had yet to write him back. Sighing I sat down pulling out a pen and paper I sat down to write, but soon found I couldn't think of anything other than the mystery guy. So pushing the thoughts out of my mind.

"Ohwell I'll wing it."

Harry!

How nice to hear from you. Sorry it took so long to write you back. (family stuff) So you don't need to fear voldemort has not gotten to me. In fact I say this has been the greatest summer we have had. Anyway I've had a great summer and changed a lot as well. I don't care about everything having to be in its place. It just has to be clean. That reminds me I hope Ron and the Twins are ok. Really Ronald should have known better than to test one of their products like that. I have missed you guys all of you and wish I was there now, but things happen. Tell Ron and the others I say Hello and that I can't wait to see them. I'll try to meet you guys on the train. You wont believe it I'm Head Girl! Me! Did you or Ron get Head Boy? I've got to go. Oh yeah I'm going for supplies tomorrow. Hope to see you there.

Love,

Hermione

Looking over the note I folded it and pulled out an envelope, the owl caller, and my wand. Putting the letter in the envelope and waved my wand over the Caller. In a few min. a mans face appeared.

"Yes" he asked

" I need an Owl. I've got a letter in need of sending."

"It's on its way. Have a nice day." and he disappeared.

I'm glade they made these for those of us who don't have an owl. With in a few minutes an owl was at the window. Opening the window I let the owl inside putting the letter on the owls leg I gave it a treat.

"Please make it fast." the owl left.

"HERMIONE!!!!" I jumped my father sounded mad……..but why?

"HERMIONE JANE GRANGER! You get your ass down here right now! Don't make me wait!" he yelled again.

I took a deep breath and walked down the stairs and into the living room. Father was standing with his back to me.

" Do you want to tell me why I just saw an owl fly out of your window? Not only me, but everyone else in this town could have seen it." He was trying to control his anger.

I looked at the window. In truth I had forgotten it was light outside. But if I tell him that he wont believe it.

"WELL!?" he was yelling again as he turned and walked over to me. Before I could move he grabbed my shoulders. "TALK!"

I winced from the pain. "I…I…forgot that it was daylight. I was in a hurry to send a letter to Harry it was late….and…I'm sorry. If anyone asks it just flow in my window and I ran it out." I said very fast. Trying to find a way out.

"You forgot! You expect me to believe that?! No you didn't forget you just wanted to make your Mother and I look bad in front of everyone!" Before I could start to say anything he slapped me across the face knocking me down.

"No…no…I would never do anything like that! I'm sorry please!" I felt like throwing up because of what I just said. I can fight the Dark lord, but can't stand up when it comes to my Father.

He was still mad he bent down and acted like he was going to help me up, but changed his mind and kicked me. I heard a cracking sound which I took to be my ribs as a rush of pain it me. I bit my lower lip as to not scream or cry from the pain. He looked down at me.

"Next time think before you do something so stupid." and he walked out. Mother peaked her head in and saw me looking over me to see if I was dead. Seeing that I was alive she left. I laid there for a few minutes taking deep breaths. Than I tried to get up but the pain laid me back flat. The next time I moved I didn't stop until I was standing. My breathing was hard and I tried to stabilize it.

Once I was standing I stood there holing my sides letting my body get familiar with the pain. Slowly I started to walk up to my room. When I walked in t saw that my Mother had laid a wrap for my ribs on my bed for me. I walked over to the mirror and I could see that he had left a hand print on the side of my face. It was already turning a shade of purple. When I walked over to my bed and saw a note in my Mother's handwriting.

Honey,

I'm sorry about that, but you did know better. Here is a wrap for your ribs. Take a shower and pick out a dress. We have been invited to the new families for a party. Its funny now that I think about it nobody knows their name. Anyway I'll be up around seven to see if you look ok. Again Sorry

Your Mother,

Mary

Sighing I looked at the clock it was 5:30. I went and took a nice long shower. When I had finished I put on my robe and dried my hair. The hot water from the shower helped a little with the pain. I didn't even bother with the wrap I knew she would make me take it off for the dress. I walked over to my closet and found a silk, v-cut, tie behind your neck, black dress. I smiled finding a pair of heals to go with it. I slipped on the dress slowly. When I sat down in front of the mirror my breath left me from the pain and I had to close my eyes when I bent down to put on the heals. After raising back up I looked into the mirror at my hair. It was in mice waves that would work the problem is the handprint on my face. Pulling out my make -up when I was done you couldn't tell a thing. ( I Love make-up sometime) I had covered the handprint and used a pink glitter lip gloss, with natural colors for the eyes-shadow and black eye liner.

There was a knock at the door as Mother walked in she took one look at me and:

" No…you have to wear something else. They have a son you know. All the young girls are talking about him. I will not have my daughter be out shined by the town sluts." I rolled my eyes as she went into my closet. Giving up she walked out of my room. It wasn't long before she came back with a box and handed it to me. "Wear this and those shoes." She pointed to one of the many shoes in my closet and walked out.

Sighing I walked over to my bed and opened the box. Inside it was a Dark Green, strapless dress. It was beautiful . I slipped off the black dress and put on the green. Not only was it strapless, but it was mid thigh and open backed. The only thing that held the dress on was on clip in the back. I stood there looking in the mirror feeling very exposed.

"No! mom there is no way!" Just as I thought she was standing in my doorway.

"You look beautiful Dear." she said smiling. She herself was wearing a simple blue dress long but fitting.

" No I look like a…a whore!" she slapped me in the face for that one.

"Don't take that tone with me young lady. You are going to wear that and you are going to me good understand me!"

"Yes Mother." I said though my teeth.

"Good now let me change you eye shadow."

She walked over and by 7:05 my eye shadow was a sparkle green. Not very bright but you could tell.

"Time to go!" Father yelled

Mother grabbed my arm and lead me out. I yelped in pain when she pulled me. Quickly she let go like she had forgotten. She walked away and I returned for the boots she had told me to wear. I'll put them on in the car.

Father didn't say anything about that I was wearing just looked at mother who nodded. When we were in the car I pulled on the boots. They were black and came up to about my knee. I was staring out the window trying to pull down and up on the dress and the same time. I had grabbed a purse that was dark green and placed my wand in it. When we get there I'll just fix the dress.

"Hermione," Mother asked

"yes mom"

"stop messing with the dress."

"ok mom"

"Hermione"

"yes"

"Give my your purse."

"why?"

"Don't ask questions do it." Slowly I handed my purse to her. She opened it and pulled out my wand. I don't like people touching my wand. Even if it is my Mother.

"Mother! What are you doing?"

"Hermione you are not gong to need you wand, and we don't need people thinking we are crazy. What if you drop it and your wand flies out?" It was my father not mother who answered me.

"I'll tell them it's a new kind of lip gloss." I had to shorten my wand to fit it inside the purse.

" Your just full of answers today aren't you?" Father asked looking at me in the mirror. As we pulled into a driveway.

"The wand stays! That is final!" When we stopped he sighed.

"Hermione. Look I need your help. He is going to be my boss. I need you to get close to their son. Show him around. I know I shouldn't be asking you this, but I am." He turned to looking at me.

This was why he over reacted, why mother had made me wear this dress, why I couldn't have my wand. Anger built up inside on me.

"Your right you shouldn't. This is why you acted the way you did. The way both of you did! Now you expect me to… to act like… a Whore!! Just so you can make a good impression!" I was yelling at this point. "No I Wont do it!!!"

"Young Lady I didn't ask you I told you. Yes You are expected to get their son to like you at any risk! Another thing if you ever say that word again I'll knock all your teeth out and make you eat them! Do I make myself clear! Now get out!"

I jumped out of the car slamming the door. However the jarring of the door made my ribs hurt, but I didn't show it. Father said nothing as we walked up to the door. Knocking on it he gave me a warning look and mother was acting like she was blind and deaf. I faked a smile and the door opened. When I saw who was standing there the smile left my face and was covered in shock…..It…It…No it can't be….Why?…..

Ok there you hav it. Tell me what you think...I love the ending of this lol...anyway If I don't start getting reviews than you'll never find out who it is. OH and its not Draco...LOL...
