AT HERMIONE'S HOUSE

"Mom, have you seen Crookshanks? I can't find him anywhere." Hermione asked.

"No, I'm sorry, I haven't." Mrs. Granger said. Hermione went up to her room and shut the door.

"Maybe he's just in the basement looking for mice again." Just then, there was a tap on the window. An owl flew in, dropped a letter on the desk, and landed on her bed. Hermione went over to the letter and picked it up. She opened it and read it.

Dear Granger,

This might seem awkward to you, it's awkward for me as well, this is Malfoy. I wanted to know if you'll meet me at Hudson Park tomorrow at 1:00. There's something really important I have to talk to you about. I know you probably think this a trick, but you've got to trust me. Please, this is really important to me. Send me an answer back with my owl.

Draco Malfoy

Hermione finished reading the letter. She sat on her bed, thinking. Should I trust him? Should I tell Ron and Harry? Hermione thought. She got up and went over to her desk. She took some parchment, a quill, and some ink and wrote down 2 letters. She folded the letter and gave it to the owl.

AT DRACO'S HOUSE

Draco's owl flew into the room and landed on his desk. Draco took the letter and opened it. It was Hermione's response. He read the two letters that was scribbled on it:

OK

"Yes!" Draco whispered.
