~Hermione's Secret Crush~

In her room Hermione flopped herself on a pillow and started bawling even more. There was a soft knock on the door.

"Hermione??" came Harry's gentle voice. "Can I talk to you?"

"Go away! I don't want to talk to anyone!" Hermione answered sharply.

"I'm sorry about what Kyle said about you." This time it was Ron. "But I promise, next time I get the chance I'll beat Malfoy AND Kyle to a pulp, but I won't mess Kyle up to horribly. I might kill Malfoy though....."

A bunch of giggling girls interrupted his rambling voice.

"CRAP! I can't let them see me like this!!" Hermione said.

She quickly donned the invisibility cloak that Harry had lent her.

The girls opened the door and were careless enough to leave it open so Hermione slipped out. Outside the door were Harry and Ron looking inside the door with concern in their eyes. She took off the cloak to talk with the two.

"I'm going to the one eye witch statue ok? If I'm not back by 12:00 please come look for me." Hermione pleaded

Hermione was soon on her way to the statue with hope in her heart.

Looking at her watch Hermione sighed. It was quarter of 12 and Kyle was nowhere in sight. She decided that she would give him 5 more minutes. Soon she heard movement and looked around the hallway with sharp eyes carefully. She saw that in a dark shadow there was a rose but his time it was yellow. She picked up the rose and noticed that again the card attached had the name Hermione written on the top of it. She looked around again for a sign of anyone but found none so she ran back to the common room as fast as the cloak would allow her.

When she appeared in the common room Harry ad Ron greeted her looking relieved to see her.

"What happened? Did you see him? We were so worried!" all these questions and statements came rushing at her. She quickly shut them up by holding up the rose. Before they could say anything more she opened the card and read it. It said:

Hermione~ Thank you for showing up. I'm terribly sorry for not showing my face but I can't face you after what I said to Harry and Ron. I'm very sorry. Inside the rose you will find a present for you. Keep it safe. I'm sure that as soon as you see it you will know what it is. I will leave more messages later with more information. My love always Kyle.

She quickly gave the note to Ron and Harry and then examined the rose. Inside she found a thin sliver chain with a purple rose charm. She automatically knew that it was a Lavertin. A charm that when put together with the matching charm could overcome any magic at all, even the three unforgivable curses. She quickly put it on and tucked it under her robes so no one would recognize it and ask questions. All the while Ron and Harry were staring at her.

When she finally noticed them she blushed a deep red.

"What was that thing?" Harry asked.

"Kyle gave it to me."

"Ok, but it looked like more then just a simple necklace they way you handled it."

Hermione quickly confessed and told the inquisitive boys what it was and how it worked. She then decided that it was time for bed and retired.

In the morning Hermione came bouncing down the stairs. She had another rose clutched in her hand with a note. After many more weeks she received gift after gift after gift that were all embedded in the rose somehow.

While Hermione admired the gifs with awe and a deep lust, Harry and Ron added up the price of the gifts.

"Hermione, is Kyle's father a millionaire?"

"No, he's not rich but not poor, he's in the middle, why?"

"Just wondering."

Hearing the bell the three hurried to Potions to be yelled at by Snape once again.
