Hermione fell on her bed face first and sighed heavy.

"Hard day?" Lavender asked.

"You bet." Hermione sighed.

"Have you started on that potions project yet?" Lavender asked.

Hermione sighed, "No I haven't had the chance yet, to busy with my other homework, great! Another thing on my to-do list."

Lavender smiled proudly, "I finished it last week."

Lavender liked the fact that she had finished before Hermione, the top student of their class.

"Good for you." Hermione snapped.

"Whoa what's eatin' you?" Lavender took a few steps back.

"I'm sorry today is just so hard you know?" Hermione sighed, "Better start on that project."

She poured everything in her bag onto her bed.

"Hey what's that?" Lavender asked, spotting the only note that was loose in Hermione's bag.

"Great," Said Hermione, "Now my stuff's falling out of place."

Lavender snatched the note and opened it up, read it and started giggling, "Hermione this isn't a note for class… It's a LOVE NOTE!!!!"

"What?" Hermione yelled, "Give it here!"

"No!" Giggled Lavender, "It's so beautiful."

"Lavender!" Hermione shouted.

"Hermione, I feel like you should know this…" Lavender started to read.

"Lavender!" Hermione cried.

Lavender continued, "Your hair shines like a bright day's sun. Your face lights up like an angel's."She stopped for a moment, "Aww…"

"Lavender!" Hermione cried once more but Lavender continued to read."Your cheeks so rosy, your lips so cozy."

Hermione made a grab for the note but failed to get it.

"Will you please meet me at the dance tonight? There I'll be at 7: 30 waiting for you. Wearing a mask made of blue. In the middle of the dance floor waiting for you. Signed Your One." Lavender finished and tossed the note to Hermione who snap it and read it.

"Hey…it is a love note… But I've already made plans to go to the dance with Ronald… I can't go."

Lavender snorted, "Yeah but Ron's just your friend right? So he shouldn't mind."

"Yeah…yeah! Your right, oh my god! Thanks so much Lavender!" Hermione ran out of the room and down the stairs.

"Aren't I always right?" Lavender said to herself."

Ron!" Hermione yelled trying to catch up with Ron, "Ron! Wait up!"

Ron turned around and when he saw Hermione he smiled, "Hey Herm."

"Ron…listen I can't go to the dance with you."

Ron gave a weird look, "and why not?"

"Because…last minute plans!" Hermione smiled, she didn't want Ron to know about the love letter, he'd just tease her, boys never understand things like this."

With who?" Ron said starting to get angry, he thought him and Hermione could take their friendship to the next step!

"Well, I don't really know yet."

"Oh I see! If you just don't wanna go with me tell me right off, it hurts less that way!" Ron yelled, his face getting red.It hurts less that way? What was the supposed to mean?

Hermione thought."No see I got this love note and…"Love note?

Man Hermione could just tell me right away, well two can play at this game!

Ron thought."I wrote it!" He lied.

"You did?" Hermione asked.

"Yes! I love you!"

"Oh Ron… you could have just told me…"

"I thought it would be more romantic this way."

"Oh Ron… It was it really was!" Hermione smiled.

"So are we still on for the dance then?" Ron asked.

"Yes, but you don't have to wait for me in the middle of the dance floor, you can just come with me."

Hermione smiled and reached up and gave Ron a soft kiss on the lips, "See you there."
