************************************************************************
Hermione cried helplessly as she wrote her reply to Harry. She expected him to get mad. Later on, she sent the two owls back to Harry as she continued to cry alone in her bedroom.
************************************************************************
Later that afternoon, Ginny came into Hermione's room. Hermione haven't gone out of her room and she hasn't taken any meal at all. Ginny walked inside to see Hermione lying on her side facing the window. She sat beside Hermione and put a caring hand on Hermione's shoulder.
"I'm sorry for what I said Mione"
"I deserve it if you hate me. . . or Harry even", replied Hermione in a sniff.
"You fix yourself up and I'll accompany you to the Great Hall. You haven't eaten anything. I was expecting you to get down to the common room early but I didn't see any sign of you around. If you carry on like that, you're sure to get sick"
"I'm fine Gin. I'll stay here"
"Oh no you don't! You aren't staying here Hermione Granger! I promised Harry I'll look after you. Now you get up and pull yourself together. You're eating whether you like it or not." Ginny pulled Hermione's arm only to be pulled back by Hermione.
"I'm not hungry. I'm fine Ginny. Don't worry about me. If I get hungry, I'll come down to eat"
"AND that would not be tonight even, I bet"
"I feel bad. I don't know if I can go down"
"Oh Mione you've got a lot of excuses. If you'll not come with me, I'll call on Malfoy to carry you down to the hall", threatened Ginny with a triumphant grin. Hermione sat up at once and glared at Ginny's plastered smirk.
"Blackmail", loathed Hermione at Ginny.
Ginny chuckled as she headed out the door. "I'll wait for you in the common room, ayt?"
"Fine. I'll be down in five minutes"
************************************************************************
They entered the Great Hall seeing Draco eating alone in the only table inside the hall that time. Hermione pulled Ginny and said, "There's no way I'm going near him."
"Come on Mione, you haven't eating anything. If Malfoy knew that, I bet he'll bug you all the more. He'll make sure you will eat, and I reckon you wouldn't want him around to bother you any further"
"Argh!" sounded Hermione as she let Ginny pull her to the table.
When they were near, Draco looked up at them after putting a spoonful of soup into his mouth. "Hi"
Hermione raised a brow and Draco said, "I said HI"
Hermione didn't reply and so she sat down opposite Draco.
"Granger, don't tell me you're mad at me"
"I'm not"
"Uh, okay"
Food appeared in front of Hermione and she took hold of a spoon. She just circled the spoon around the bowl seemingly showing not a plan of shoving it inside her mouth.
Draco watched her and said, "There's no poison in there"
Hermione got furious she slammed the spoon on the table and screamed, "Why are you always there where I am? Can't you just stop following me around? Darn!"
Draco replied nonchalantly, "It just so happened I haven't eaten anything today and I felt like eating and I wasn't expecting you here at this time"
"What do you want with me Malfoy?"
"If you really want to know, I'll tell you. I like you Granger. I reckon it's too obvious now." Hermione snorted as Draco continued. "As a matter of fact, I want to court you if you would allow me. I want you to be my girlfriend. That's the reason why I stayed. I couldn't do anything like this if everyone's around. By the way, why are you here at this time?"
Ginny found Draco's honesty and bluntness very pleasant and touching that she answered for Hermione, knowing well her friend wouldn't oblige giving an answer properly. "She hasn't eaten anything since this morning. Actually, I pulled her out of bed to convince her that if she doesn't, I'll ask you to carry her down."
"Gin!" yelled Hermione.
Ginny smiled at them while Draco laughed rather discreetly to himself. "Well, I should've done that if you didn't convince her Weasley", said Draco with a warm, honest smile.
Hermoine's eyes grew wide with Ginny and Draco getting along well. She spat, "Wouldn't let you do that."
Draco laughed again and claimed, "No worries. I could send you food to your room"
"You wouldn't do that! That's servant stuff!"
"I don't care. I'll make sure you eat something"
Ginny giggled and whispered to Hermione, "He's sweet, isn't he? You know, you look good together"
"Gin, shut it, will you?"
Draco ate a serving of steak and watched Hermione start to eat her soup. They went on like that for minutes and Hermione finished her soup in their silence. Draco handed her the steak when Hermione said, "No, thank you. I'll just have some fruits" rather gently.
"You know, it's bad for your health if you suddenly stop on your intake of meat"
"Don't tell me what's bad for me"
"Fine"
Draco was almost done with his steak Hermione stood to leave.
"Um, Granger, would you allow me to be your suitor? I mean, it's kind of short notice and of course it's---"
Hermione was about to revolt in anger when Ginny said, " She says it's okay. Bye Malfoy!"
Ginny laughed as Hermione yelled, "ginny!"
Ginny pulled Hermione away. "Come on Mione"
"Er, Granger, would you mind if we talk tonight? I promise not to do anything foolish. I just want to talk to you", Draco added.
Ginny immediately cupped Hermione's mouth and yelled, "It's fine! She'll meet you in the library at 7!"
Hermione saw the situation hopeless with one of her best friends screwing everything up for her that she stormed out of the hall without another word.
************************************************************************
"Virginia Weasley, do you know what you just did?" asked Hermione in utmost anger.
"Yes. Before you add another word, you go take a shower then come out here so that I could fix you up"
"But you don't agree to this right?"
"I do. Malfoy's sincere. If I were in your place, I'd practically scream out in pride that the most handsome guy ever to step foot on Hogwarts is actually head over heels with me. Besides, Harry's not around. He wouldn't know"
"But Gin, I've done much wrong already"
Ginny pushed Hermione to the bathroom and locked her inside.
************************************************************************
A quarter before 7 and Hermione was set and ready to go. She went for her watch beside her bed when she saw a familiar box beside it---
. . . the same box she received early that day.
"Harry. . ."

I'm really sorry as it took a long time before I could update this one. The "blueprint" of this one sort got lost in my blackhole here in my room and it's just recent that I was able to take it out and actually had the patience to type more.

Thanks!
