A/N: Ask, and you shall receive! I had no plans whatsoever to continue this story when I initially posted it. But, thanks to my wonderful readers who asked for more, here is another chapter. Enjoy!
Hermione walked into the Great Hall and immediately looked around for the distinctive blonde hair of her boyfriend. When she didn't see it, she started feeling nervous. She had no idea how he was planning to reveal their relationship, and the uncertainty was becoming almost unbearable. As she sat down with Harry and Ron, they seemed to notice something was off.
"Hermione, are you okay?" Harry asked sympathetically. "You don't look very good." Ron looked concerned as well.
"Oh, I'm fine. I didn't sleep very well last night." She lied, hoping they wouldn't see through her poor lying skills. To tell the truth, she had had an excellent sleep, with the memories of her night with Draco floating through her dreams, and his touch burned into her flesh. Thankfully, her two friends accepted the lie and carried on eating their breakfast. Meanwhile, Hermione felt too nervous to eat, so she concentrated on the mail that was arriving all over the Great Hall. Surprisingly, a great eagle owl landed in front of her with a piece of parchment tied to its leg. She took it, and read the message:
Granger,
I think you ought to know that my plans for our "big reveal" are very straightforward. I also felt that you should be in on them, seeing as they center around you. My plan is for us to work together in Potions (everyone else will also be in partners), and we won't have to pretend to hate each other. At the end of the class, I am going to announce that you are my girlfriend, and we will then be entitled to hold hands in the halls and walk each other to classes, and anything else couples do for each other. Don't worry, I have informed Professor Snape of this plan, so he won't be surprised like the rest of the class, and do something crazy like your friends might. The news will spread through the school soon enough, and then we can be completely open.
See you in Potions,
D. M.
Hermione grinned as she looked up from the note. It was such a lovely plan, and she was thankful that nothing would happen in front of the whole school. She didn't know how she would have felt if that had happened. It would have been beyond embarrassing, and she realized that Draco had probably been thinking of that. He knew that she wasn't too fond of being singled out in a crowd, and so he had waited on purpose. She smiled at the thought of his consideration of her feelings, and folded up the note to put in her bag. And for the first time in her life, she was actually looking forward to descending the dark dungeon stairs to the Potions classroom, because that was where Draco waited.
