Disclaimer: I do not (unfortunatly) own any of the characters in this chapter of my story - The Secret Admirer. They belong to a Ms JK Rowling author of the brilliant Harry Potter series. The series by JK Rowling are unique (one of a kind) and i do not own any of her basic plot lines or her ideas. :)

A/N- i hope you enjoy my secound chapter, please review. I do promise there willl be more of this story. So far i have written 3 chapters and starting my fourth so they will be posted soon! ;)

"Hermione?" a voice was raging through her head.

"Hermione, wake up!" Hands were now tight around her shoulders shaking her awake.

"Wa? Get off," she mumbled randomly.

"Hermione its cold, come on its dinner time and I'm vanished!" She could hear more clearly now. She opened her eyes and saw Ron standing over her. She suddenly felt the cold and noticed her surroundings. She was still down at the lake, she was soaking wet with what seemed like dew or rain.

"Oh my, wa's time?" She said drowsly.

"5:52pm," Ron said helping her of the wet grass "Arry and I were worried sick, he went looking for you in the castle!"

"Sowy, muts feel asleep," She spoke through a yawn.

"Ya don't say!" Ron said sarcastically "C'mon have something to eat." They walked up to the Great Hall.

"Miss Granger!" McGonagal's voice boomed behind them "Why, may I ask are you all wet?"

"Fell asleep..." yawned Hermione "...outside!"

"Silly girl," McGonagal sighed "You might have caught a cold! After dinner you will go to see Madame Pomfrey fora flu shot."

Hermione nodded in agreement.

"Now, a quick spell to zap you dry and warm..." she thought for a moment "drilo rictola!" McGonagal pointed her wand at Hermione.

Warm orange sparks swarmed over Hermione and in an instant she was beautifully warm and dry.

"Thanks Professor!" Hermione whispered.

They sta down to eat meat pie and mashed potato. Harry wandered in a few moments later looking puffed "Where have you been?"

"Feel asleep," Hermione sneezed.

"You better go see Madame Pomfrey," Ron said.

Hermione got back to the Gryffindor common room at 8:30 and sat infront of the fire with Ron and Harry. Soon enough she had had enough of their quidditch talk and went to her dormitory. She walked over to her bed to find another letter on her pillow.

I LOVE YOU
DON'T FORGET ME!

Hermione put the letter with the others and slept.

*~~2 WEEKS LATER~~*

Hemrione woke on christmas day to find an awful lot of presents at the end of her bed, on her bedside table and on the floor. This was not unusual for her. The opened them-

lollies
clothes
jewlery
a new pilllow
books
bits and bobs

The list went on and on and on and on.
She got to the last one- a gold neclace with a love heart hanging from the chain. The note read-

PLEASE WEAR IT!
MERRY CHRISTMAS
YOURS ALWAYS
YOUR ADMIRER

Hermione clipped it around her neck and admired it in the mirror.
