I know I was evil with the last cliffie! MUHAHAHA! OK, here's the next chapter! Sorry it took a little long to get it on. I needed to plan the rest of the chapters. Well I'll stop stalling! On with the chapter!

::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: :::

Anxious to know what was inside, she opened the box quickly and.........took in a deep breath...........but before Hermione could open it, Lily rushed in. (Story readers: NO!)
"Oh my God! Mona!"
"What? What happened? Is everything all right?" Hermione jumped up and dropped the box onto the bed, momentarily forgetting about it.
"Yes, everything's all right, but Oh my Gosh!" Lily sighed, smiled and sunk down on to her bed.
"What! What is it!" Hermione was extremely intrigued by now. Lily just continued smiling.
"James.... He asked me out!" Hermione smiled.
"And...."
"Well I said yes! I never thought that I would feel like this. He's just James." Hermione laughed to herself when Lily said that.
"Well, that's great!"
"Yeah I know. Well I'm going to bed. I've had a very exciting day today." Lily walked off to her bed, still smiling. Hermione, who forgot about the wooden box, went down to the common room to read for a while because she wasn't really tired.

After she had been reading for a couple hours, and everyone was already sleeping, Hermione went up to bed.
"Hey, what's this?" Hermione went to sit on her bed, but sat on the wooden box instead. She picked it up. "Oh yeah! Now, let's see what's inside..."(Story Readers: YES!) Hermione slowly opened the little box and gasped. Inside, lying on a bed of red satin, was a gorgeous silver ring, which was inlaid with three small diamonds. "Oh!" She took out the ring to try it on, and a little note fell out. She put on the ring, a perfect fit, and picked up the note. "'Dearest Mona, I got you this gift, to show you how much I care. Yours Truly.' Oh this is so sweet!" Hermione, being so tired, lay down and fell asleep, thinking of whom "Yours Truly" could be.

::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

The next morning, Hermione immediately showed the ring to Lily.
"Oh! It's lovely, Mona! Who gave it to you?"
"Yours Truly. My Secret Admirer." Lily gave Hermione a sly smile.
"Oh...well "Yours Truly" has good taste."
"Yes. Well come on! I'm starved!" Lily and Hermione went down to the Great Hall to have breakfast.(A/N: Lame sentence...)

"Hey, Mona. That's a pretty nice ring you've got there? Where did you get it?" James asked as her came up to Lily and put his arm around her shoulders. Lily blushed.
"Yes that is a nice ring." Sirius said as her sat down opposite Hermione. "What do you think Remus?" Hermione found it odd that Sirius asked Remus directly like that, but shrugged it off.
"Uh---yeah. It's really nice Mona. It looks beautiful on you." Remus smiled sheepishly as he said it and didn't look her straight in the eyes.
"Thank you. My Secret Admirer gave it to me."
"Oh....Mona's got a Secret Admirer....OOOO." James teased.
"Oh, leave it be James Potter! It's actually really romantic. You never did that with me." Lily said. Hermione smiled. At this moment, Hermione suddenly remembered Harry and Ron. She smiled as she tried to think of the way they would react if she were back with them.....

OK, OK. I know what you're all going to say, "That was too short!" but I'm sorry! I just kinda got writers' block!This chapter was just as much lame as it was short. I don't really like it, but then again I do.Oh well... I will continue writing though, don't you worry. As long as you all stay faithful and review, I will keep writing. So READ & REVIEW!

Thankx to all of you who reviewed! You know, I got faster reviews when I did that cliffie....hmmmmm.....maybe I should do MORE....... ;) :-P
