Chapter Three Deciphering Letters
Ron was jogging down the hall to get to the library. He had to figure out what this letter meant. As he turned a corner, he bumped into a figure, and fell down. Flat on his back.
"Owww, that hurt," Ron sat up. Draco Malfoy was standing there, laughing.
"You better watch where you're going next time, Weasly. Hey, what's this?" Draco bent down to grab the piece of paper that Ron had been holding. He read it quickly.
"Wow, a love letter to Hermione. I would have never guessed." Malfoy smirked. "But this is too neat to be your hand-writing. It must be Potter's. That's even better!" Malfoy dropped the letter on the floor, laughing and walking away.
Ron sat up. 'That really wasn't a good thing. Harry would kill him if he started to spread rumors about Harry liking Hermione. But wait, a 'love letter'? Why did Malfoy call it a 'love letter'? Harry doesn't like Hermione.... I think.'
Ron got up and finished his jog to the library. He fished around for the right book, and eventually found it.
"Ok, a spell for deciphering letters. Ah, here." Ron took out the letter to Hermione, set it on the oak table in front of him, and took out his wand. "Reductio Appareo!"
The paper started to glow, a bright green color, and it became brighter and brighter until it was impossible to look at without hurting your eyes. And then, as quick as it had come, the light was gone. Everything was as it was before, except of course the paper. The paper looked untouched, but where the letters had been smeared, there were shining bright green letters. Ron looked at the paper in amazement.
"Wicked!" Ron was staring at the paper, eyes wide open. He started to read:
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Dear Hermione,
I need to talk to talk to you about something. I've been keeping it from you for a while now. I don't know how to say this, but I will do my best. I
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"Hmmm, I wonder what Harry wanted to say to Hermione. You would think he would tell me first. Maybe it's not that important. Yah, that's it. Besides, I'll end up knowing eventually." Ron shrugged, and decided it best to get rid of the paper. He had learned the spell for this last year. "Dilapido Chartula" The paper jumped up about a foot above the table, and shriveled into nothing. Ron, pleased with himself for remembering that particular spell, smiled.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Meanwhile, Harry was up in his room trying to remember the spell that Moody had taught him for truth and promise.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"Was it.... no, that's not right. Oh wait! No, that's not right either. I know that it started with a 'v'.... I think." Harry sighed and lied down on his bed. "Why does this have to be so difficult?"
Harry suddenly sat strait up. "Duh! I can't believe I forgot! I wrote it down in my fourth year textbook!" Harry got up, went to his trunk, and started to dig through his stuff.
"Let's see, I know that it's here somewhere... here, I found it!" Harry went back to his bed and started to flip through the pages. And there it was. On page 645. Harry set the book on his bed, turned around, and grabbed his wand on his nightstand. He pointed the wand at himself, closed his eyes, thought about the time period he wished for, and whispered, "Verax Adligo!"
He suddenly felt as light as a feather, like he was able to fly. It seemed as all of his worries were gone, and his stress disappeared. Then he could feel himself being sucked back into reality.
"Wow.... that was amazing!" But Harry wanted to make sure that the spell actually worked correctly. So he used the first thing that he could think of.
He thought to himself, 'Do you have a crush on Hermione?'
Too quick to think better of it, he answered, "Yes," in a tone that was unknown to him. It seemed so monotone and dull. Not like him.
"Oh well, good enough." Harry smiled. "This is finally going to turn out ok."

Authors Note: Ok done! What did you think? Wow, my chapters are getting longer every time. Lot's of magic in this chapter. And if you were all wondering, I didn't come up with all the magic words... I cheated. I used a Latin dictionary. It was kind of fun to see what everything meant though. I'll try to update soon. Toodles!
