Hermione was terrified. Her exam results were in. The parchment
envelope containing her future was there, being passed between her fingers.
She was a prefect, but if she didn't get a certain score, she would never
be head girl. Her mother and father had been encouraging her to open the
letter for days, but the fear of failure always hung around her head. She
wondered if she could ever be as successful as Percy Weasley. True he was
poor, but he was also the head of the department of International Magical
Cooperation. After his old boss, Mr. Crouch had been murdered by his own
(evil) son. She wanted to walk in his shoes, to be just like him.
She tore the envelope, just a little so that she could see the corner of parchment hidden inside. She could see another piece of paper folded inside it. She still couldn't tell what message it contained.
"Mother, I am going to open it!" She called and heard hurried footsteps approaching her room. She saw the faces of her mother and father in the doorway and she closed her eyes and tore it open. She shoved it at her mother and cried "You tell me what it says, I cannot bear to read it!"
Mrs. Granger skimmed the letter and the paper inside of it and burst out in tears "Hermione, you got it, you are head girl! This is the proudest day of my life! We are going to Jake's Steakhouse to celebrate, oh honey, we love you so much!"
Hermione sat down at her desk and drafted a quick note to Harry, who was living at Mrs. Figg's house, becausethe Dursleys were unsafe and abusive.
Dear Harry, Guess What??? I am the newest Head Girl! I am not kidding! I got a letter from Ron and not only is he head boy, but we are going to Ireland, just the two of us. He is sooo romantic. How do you know if you are in love? Have you ever been in love? I got an owl from Parvati Patil last week. She and her twin sister Padma are going to Bauxbatons this year because their parents don't think that they are safe at Hogwarts. I think that as long as Dumbledore (and Krum) are at Hogwarts, we will all be OK. I wonder what student will replace Parvati and Padma's place as seventh years. I hope not anyone who likes Trelawny, the old fraud. I hope you can see Ron, Ginny, and me soon! Love from Hermione
P.S. Happy Birthday!!! I hope you like this! It's a love meter. It tells you how much someone loves you by the way they talk! I hope it comes in handy with Ginny!
