Disclaimer- I do NOT own the Harry Potter characters!
A/N- Yep, I don't know what to do with this chapter either (somebody has writers block :] ) Please keep doing reviews. Oh and if you think you know who S.A.M. is it is very possible that you are wrong. (I'm still not really sure what I am going to do with that either)

Hermione, Mandy and Justin sat in their new common room waiting for Draco to "grace them with his presence" so they could actually start working on the Christmas Ball.
After about half an hour Draco finally came down from his bedroom.
"Where were you?" Justin said as all of them looked at him.
He paused for a second. "Doing my hair," he said sitting down next to Justin.
Just as he sat down an owl swooped down over Hermione and dropped a letter on her lap. She opened up and glanced at it realizing who it was from. She chose not to read it because it would take her mind away from planning.
"Alright, what do you think about decorations?" Mandy said holding a pad of paper.
The group paused looking as if they were in deep thought.
"Hey, what if we had it outside. You know in the snow. We could have ice skating on the lake," Hermione said with excitement.
"That is a great idea!" Mandy said writing it on her pad.
They continued planning and finished as it was nearing midnight. However Hermione quickly ran up to her room and lied on her bed to read her letter from S.A.M.

Dear Princess Charming,
I assume you still do not know who I am. If you wish to write me back please leave your letter by your bedroom window. My owl will find it. I am still afraid to tell you who I am.
~And I wrote this letter in my head~
~'Cuz so many things were left unsaid~
~But now you're gone~
~And I can't think straight~
I want you so much but it is killing me not to be able to.
With endless love,
Your Cinderella
~
Hermione lay in her bed smiling placing the note on her nightstand. Soon she opened her drawer and took a piece of parchment and scribble a letter.
~
Dear Cinderella,
Why can't you tell me? I have no clue how to figure it out! I want to know who you are. Can you please tell me?
~I'm standing on a bridge
~I'm waitin in the dark~
~I thought that you'd be here by now~
~There's nothing but the rain~
~No footsteps on the ground~
~I'm listening but there's no sound~
~Isn't anyone tryin to find me?~
~Won't someone please take me home~
~It's a damn cold night~
~Trying to figure out this life~
~Wont you take me by the hand~
~take me somewhere new~
~I don't know who you are~
~but I'm, I'm with you~
Love,
Princess Charming
P.S.- thank you for the wonderful time at the ball

Just as Hermione placed her letter to S.A.M. on her windowsill a snowy white owl flew right outside her window. She opened the window and allowed the bird to come in and take the letter. As soon as it came it left. Hermione stuck her head out of the window to try to figure out where the messenger came from but the creature was nowhere in sight. Hermione stuck her head back in and closed the window. As soon as her head hit the pillow she fell asleep with thoughts of S.A.M. lingering in her mind.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Throughout the day Harry and Ron joked with Hermione about who S.A.M. could possibly be.
"Oh I bet its Neville," Ron said as Crabbe tripped Neville in the hallway.
"No it is not. S.A.M. had blonde hair," Hermione said getting annoyed at him.
"Are you sure? Maybe it is that fat third year over there?" Harry said pointing as him and Ron were literally about to roll on the floor. The boy wearing Ravenclaw robes was literally being rolled down the hall by a few hysterically laughing fourth year Slytherins.
"He wasn't fat either!" Hermione said fuming. "He was skinny and tall and really nice. Ugh, you guys will make fun of me no matter what."
"No we wont," Harry said trying not to grin.
"What are you talking about? Of course we will!" Ron said quickly receiving an elbow in his stomach.
"Well you guys are so supportive," Hermione said walking into the Great Hall with the boys on either side of her. Tonight they were announcing the Christmas Ball. That was the other thing Harry and Ron had been bugging her about. Finally they would only have one reason.
"Attention please," Dumbledore said causing the room to hush. "Our prefects have planned for us a Christmas Ball. However, this year it will be different from any previous year. The prefects have chosen to hold the ball," he stood there leaving a long, suspenseful pause. Dumbledore has a great way of making a cliffhanger. "Outside." He finished. The crowd gasped and after the moment of shock started cheering.
Once the crowd hushed again Dumbledore continued, "The ball will be held on December twentieth, the day before winter recess. Now everyone may begin eating!" Dumbledore said and the students began to talk about the ball.
"This sounds cool," Harry said. "I'm going to ask Cho to it right now."
"Yeah, I'll go ask Emily," Ron joined Harry walking over to the Ravenclaw table.
"Alright, I'm just going to eat a little bit and then go back up to the common room and start working on Transfiguration homework." Hermione said quickly gulping up her food. She quickly finished her dinner and rushed out of the Great Hall and up the stairs. She didn't know but S.A.M. was watching her the whole meal trying to gain the courage to ask her to the Christmas ball.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Hermione had been sitting at her desk in her enormous room for two hours. She had now moved onto her Charms homework and then she heard a tapping on her bedroom window. She turned around and saw a snowy white owl holding a note. She let the owl in and as soon as she took the note it flew away. She opened it and automatically knew who it was from.
~
Dear Princess Charming,
I'm sorry I haven't told you yet. I understand that you really want to know so we should meet. How about ten minutes before Herbology begins outside of the school? I will understand if you do not wish to start a relationship with me but I do think you have the right to know who I am.
~This could be the one last chance~
~To make you understand~
~I'd do anything~
~Just to hold you in my arms~
~To try to make you laugh~
~Somehow I can't put you in the past~
~I'd do anything~
~Just to fall asleep with you~
~Will you remember me?~
~'Cuz I know I won't forget you~
I can't wait
With Love,
Your Cinderella

Hermione grew extremely excited. She was finally going to meet S.A.M. Well she already did but this time she will actually know who he is. She lay down in her bed thinking about it. She had herbology with Slytherins, Ravenclaws and obviously Gryffindors. She automatically ruled out Slytherins since they would NEVER even think about liking a Gryffindor. She was trying to figure out who it could possibly be and what S.A.M. stands for. Eventually she decided to try to go to sleep because she figured the sooner she slept the sooner she would wake up, then the sooner she woke up the sooner she would get to meet him. She slept restlessly but eventually fell asleep.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
(A/N: now I was seriously thinking about leaving you here but I am trying very hard to make long chapters so I am going to continue)
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Hermione woke up right away and got dressed immediately. She practically pulled the other prefects out of bed so she could get down to breakfast as fast as she could. She basically swallowed her breakfast in one gulp and all Harry and Ron could do was stare at her. They had never seen her eat that much for as long as they have known her. It was as if she was a pig like Crabbe and Goyle.
"What is with you?" Ron said to her staring like she had five heads.
"Oh, I'm in a rush," Hermione said grabbing her Herbology books and standing up from the Gryffindor table.
"May I ask where?" Harry said grinning.
"I just have to ask Professor Sprout something," she said running off without letting the boys ask any more questions. But Harry and Ron were not the only people who noticed Hermione left the Great Hall.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Hermione stood outside of Hogwarts tapping her foot waiting eagerly for S.A.M. to come. She chose to turn away from the school so she would not see him come out and he would introduce himself. She could not take it. She was very close to peeing in her pants, which would not be a pleasant way to reacquaint with S.A.M.
Suddenly a hand touched her shoulder. She quickly turned around and bumped heads with who she believed was S.A.M. The two fell on the ground with Hermione only seeing his hair blow from falling on his arse (A/N: god I love that word it is so much fun to say) onto the grass.
"Ohh," Hermione groaned thinking to herself 'How come I have to be such a retard right now? Why? Why? Why me?'
"I'm sorry," she said sitting back up. She saw a shy, smiling face staring back at her.
"Umm. I kind of need to tell you some things Hermione," Michael said looking very embarrassed. (A/N: remember the guy on the Quidditch team, the beater?)
"Yes," Hermione said smiling.
"Well, I'm kind of your Secret Admirer," he said not looking at her anymore.
"Oh how stupid am I," Hermione thought to herself. "S stands for secret, A stands for admirer and M stands for Michael." Then he interrupted her thoughts.
"And, well, I've kind of had a crush on you for a while and I was wondering,"
"If I will go out with you? Of course," Hermione said smiling at the surprised look he had on his face.
Michael stood up and then offered a hand to help her up. As Hermione was lifted Draco came up to the couple.
"Aww, how sweet," he said sneering at their intertwined hands.
"Shut up Malfoy. Leave us alone!" Michael said. It seemed he gained confidence around Hermione. He was usually very timid otherwise.
"Don't worry. You mudbloods aren't worth the time of day," Draco said turning around walking towards Herbology class.
Almost as soon as Malfoy left Harry and Ron came out of the castle.
"Well, do we have a new couple in our midst?" Harry said grinning at his two friends.
"Yup, it seems like we do," Hermione said as the four Gryffindors walked towards their class with Hermione's hand still clutched to Michael's.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Well what do you guys think? Were you surprised that S.A.M. was Michael? I don't know but if I were reading it I would of thought if could have been someone else. Oh well. Please review!
