Chapter Summary: The whole school will have the greatest shock of their lives.



A letter fell the moment she was entirely gone to her time.

She read it and knew immediately whom it came from just by looking at the penmanship. It was very sloppy and untidy. She read it and it said,

I'm sorry I've gotten that far. Really crazy to think but I think I'm already desperate. I'm also sorry about what happened at Hogsmeade. I was really supposed to be asking you again but when I saw you, something told me you might get angry. So, thank you for deciding to go with me. Malfoy.

P.S: I just thought you might wonder but I prepared this letter in case you'll go. I've also prepared another one in case you won't.

Hermione felt quite weird. She never was that type. Or could ever be that type.

She entered the Great hall the next day. Most of the students are already feasting over some baked potatoes, pumpkin juice, croissants and more. Slowly, she walked towards the Gryffindor table.

She sat between Harry and Ron.

"So? Who's the lucky guy to go to the ball Herms?asked Ron, joking once more.

"I said don't call me Herms!"yelled Hermione angrily.

"I won' tell you who my date is. You might get shocked but I'm it's all going to be for a very good cause."she said.

After a few minutes of feasting and eating, the ceiling was suddenly filled with owls of different colors. All of them are flying around the great hall carrying the student's mails and packages.

There was an attention-catching owl, which was carrying something. Its color is jet black and it was definitely carrying something unusual. It's a lot bigger than a simple mail. As she looked at it, the owl is getting closer and closer to her.

Harry, as usual didn't have any letters from the Dursleys. If he's lucky enough, sometimes he's getting letters from Hagrid.

After a few moments, all of the owls have already delivered their letters and packages to their certain owners. All the mails have been given while the black owl is still carrying his! The black owl is the only one left in the air.

Now all of the students are now looking at the seems-like-lost owl. It seems to be just circling around the hall.

Hermione realized what it was carrying, a bouquet of red roses. It still doesn't seem to find whom to give the flowers. Knowing about what it really was, the girls are now thrilled thinking the flowers might be for them.

All eyes are now following the owl's direction. With her shock, the owl was heading her way! The stares are now diverted from the odd-looking owl to her. As all have expected, the owl dropped the bouquet on Hemione's place. After doing so, it quickly went out the hall.

It was a while after the owl left yet everybody's still looking at her, curious who might have sent it.

"Who could have sent this?"asked Hermione,

"Maybe it's from Viktor Krum!"answered Harry, "Yeah!"agreed Ron.

"Just open the envelope!"excitedly shouted Ginny.

Slowly, she opened the envelope. The rest of the Gryffindoor girls were screaming with thrill while the guys were also trying to find out whom it's from.

Hermione didn't look at the paper and said "Maybe you should read it" she said to Harry "okay." he said. Harry took the small piece of parchment and was so shocked he almost looked as if petrified. He said with a low voice "It's from Malfoy"

"Who?" said all the Gryffindors "Malfoy!" shouted Harry.

All of a sudden the whole school was now looking at Malfoy. He didn't show any kind of embarrassment and said, "What?"

Hermione didn't move from her seat and kept quiet.

Lavander interrupted and said, "By the way, what is written inside?"

Ron read it out loud so that the whole Gryffindor will hear it but was enough for the whole great Hall to hear. Hermione can't move. She can't do anything to stop Ron from reading it.

Ron started: Hi! I really want to hank you for going at the Ball with me. Draco everyone kept quiet suddenly. No one said a word until the Hall was empty.
