You've got mail-chapter 4- the unexpected surprises.
The next day, Hermione awoke to a gray and stormy sky. She got dressed and headed down to the common room with her Lap top, and found Ginny, with her Lap top.
"Mornin' Gin" Said Hermione
""Gmornin'. Ready to go?" She replied
"Lets go"
The both climbed through the portrait hole and headed to the great hall. They sat down next to Harry and Ron.
"Morning you two. How'd you get on with your computers?" Inquired Hermione.
"Gud" Replied Ron with his mouth full of bacon.
"Ron, don't talk with your mouth full" said Ginny.
Professor Dumbledore rose to get everyone's attention.
"Would you all mind terribly to focus your attention on me for a moment, while I talk to you about the Lap tops"
Immediately the hall went silent.
"Thank you" he said smiling. "Now, I have been asked if you all will reveal yourselves to your Electronic Mail friends. The answer is Yes. At Christmas, we will have a masquerade ball in which you all will reveal yourselves. These details will be finalized later. After the ball, you will continue to correspond to your friends, and if you wish, during the summer holidays. I do believe that most of you will" He said with his eyes twinkling.
"A ball! What a wonderful idea!" Cried Ginny
"What's mask-quarde?" Asked Ron blankly.
"Masquerade is when you dress up in disguise, with a mask" Hermione immediately replied.
"Oh, and one more thing. Many have asked what the consequences are, if you choose to reveal yourselves before the ball. A special spell has been cast, so it is impossible to reveal yourselves before the ball. "He said with a small smile, and resumed his seat.
After breakfast, Hermione, Ron and Harry, headed down to the Dungeons for potions with Professor Snape. Harry sat with Ron, while Hermione sat with Neville. While the others resumed their places, Professor Snape walked in, with is robes billowing behind him.
"Do not get comfortable" He said coldly
"I have a new seating arrangement. You will be sitting in pairs of smartest to least inteligent "He said wickedly.
Everyone groaned.
"Right. Granger, Malfoy. Up the front. Now" He said with his eyes glittering maliciously.
Hermione groaned, and walked slowly up to Professor Snape and Malfoy, who was looking sulkily indeed.
"Since you two are the advanced potion makers in this class, I expect you two to work cooperatively.
"Zabini, Nott"
When finally he had finished, Harry was paired with Lavender, Ron with Goyle, and Neville with Pansy Parkinson, who were last.
Your homework for this week is to research a potion, and list the side affects, and positive and negative points on it. Good day.
"May the force be with you, Granger" smirked Malfoy and he walked off.
The rest of the day was a blur for Hermione. She was secretly glad when the lessons were over, she was itching to go back on her Lap top. So were everyone else.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Draco headed up to his Dorm to use his Lap top. He logged on to his computer, and the little box appeared saying:
"You've got mail"
He opened the message.
Darthy,(Do you mind if I call you that?)
A feisty one are we eh? Its called Electronic mail, and you can call it E-mail or E-pals for short. Yes, I do like Muggle children books. I enjoyed the Grinch, especially how it was wrote, with all the rhymes. Do you read a lot?
From,
Green eggs and ham lover
Draco hit the reply button.
Greeny
Do NOT call me Darthy. It sounds…ugh. Yes, I do read a lot. I read to my sister too.
There was another 'Tap tapping' at the window.
"That better not be Pansy's bloody owl-"
But it wasn't Pansy's owl. It was his fathers. He gulped and opened the message.
Draco,
What is this about Dumbledore giving out Muggle junk to you and your peers? I thought I had taught you about Muggle's and their foolish excuses for magic!. Despose of it immediately or you will suffer the consequences when you return home for Christmas.
Father.
Draco tore the letter up angrily.
"Who did father think he was? He tries to dictate my life at home, now he's trying to at school? I wont take anymore of it" He thought angrily.
He scribbled on a scrap piece of parchment
I wont be home for Christmas. She hello to Mum and Cathy for me.
Draco.
He went back to his Email.
What is your favorite book?. Do you like the idea of Dumbledore's ball?
Darth vader.
He hit the send button and smiled. Maybe this was going to be more fun after all.

"You have mail"

Darth vader
Hermione giggled and began to reply.
Dear Darthy,
No matter what you do, I'm still going to call you-
A flashing box appeared saying:
Darthvader: I had a gut feeling you'd be online At this time.
(A/n movie line! LoL)
Hermione jumped!. Then she realized what it was.
Greeneggsandhamlover: That gave me a fright!
Darthvader: Scared I was going to pull you into the dark side of the force?
Greeneggsandhamlover: No.. what is it with guys and Star wars?
Darthvader : Its a guy thing.
Greeneggsandhamlover : I see.
Darthvader : So what are you up to this fine evening?
Greeneggsandhamlover : Homework.
Darthvader: same here
Greeneggsandhamlover: I better go, its almost dinner.
Darthvader: Talk to you after diner then.
Greeneggsandhamlover: Maybe.
Darthvader: See you at dinner.
Greeneggsandhamlover: Bye
Hermione logged off, and headed down to Dinner. She found herself eating quickly, not bothering for seconds, and then rushing back up to her dorm, and logging on.
Darthvader: Back so quickly?
Greeneggsandhamlover: I was?
Darthvader: Yeah
Greeneggsandhamlover: Oh.
Darthvader: Shit!!
Hermione was alarmed
Greeneggsandhamlover: What???
Darthvader: Nothing…
Greeneggsandhamlover : No, tell me.
Darthvader: You wouldn't understand.
Greeneggsandhamlover: Try me.
Darthvader: Well…okay.
Darthvader: Put it this way. Someone's trying to force me into something I want nothing to do with.
Greeneggsandhamlover : Oh..i see..
Darthvader: Told you, you wouldn't understand.
Greeneggsandhamlover: I do
Darthvader: Really?
Greeneggsandhamlover: Yeah.
Greeneggsandhamlover: You want some advice?
Draco cringed. Malfoys never took anyone's advice.
"I'm trying not to be like them" He told himself firmly.
Darthvader: I guess so.
Greeneggsandhamlover : Stand up for what you believe in. Follow your heart.
Greeneggsandhamlover: Sorry if it sounds vague or weird, its what my mother always told me.
Darthvader: I think I understand.
Greeneggsandhamlover: Okay.
Darthvader: I better get some sleep. Email you soon.
Greeneggsandhamlover Bye.
Hermione and Draco both logged off.
Hermione climbed into bed with butterflies in her stomach. So did Draco.
