Chapter 1 - Good Girls By Blair Houston

Hermione Granger ran down the hallway with her bag full of books falling off her shoulder, as usual. This, being her final year of Hogwarts, was turning out to be her best. She had successfully completed all of her O.W.L.'s to be accepted into the most highly ranked medical school in the world and everything seemed to be going her way, except for something was missing. She couldn't figure out quite what it was no matter how long she thought about it or how hard she tried.

Her final class of the day was finally over and she was rushing towards the Gryffindor tower to put away her books when she found herself falling face forward towards the beautiful cranberry colored carpet.

She hit hard, very hard. Both legs went up in the air and books came flying down behind her. Then she heard it, that familiar menacing laugh.

"Malfoy." she growled his name as she turned around to see the person she hated most standing before her. She smoothed back her now messed-up hair and fixed her robes before she spoke again. "YOU ARE SUCH A JERK!"

"Oops, I'm sorry. Was that your foot?" Malfoy gave one of his evil grins and started to turn around and walk away.

"One day, Malfoy! One day!" Hermione yelled back to him as she started to pick up all of her books from the ground.

As she was muttering to herself, she felt a hand on her shoulder. She looked up to see Harry standing over her, smiling.

"Need some help, 'Mione?"

"No thanks, I got it, Harry." She smiled up at him again and went back to putting away her books.

Harry bent down next to her and put the final three books back into her bag. Harry stood up and held out his hand to help Hermione up, too.

"Thanks, I don't know what I'd do without you, Harry." Hermione smiled broadly at him. She had always considered him her best friend. He was always there for her and she was always there for him.

"No problem. If you're going to the tower I can give you some help carrying all those books."

She nodded her head slowly and he took the bag from her and headed towards Gryffindor Tower.

"Another day in the life of Hermione Granger." Hermione thought to herself as she pulled her hair back into a loose bun. "What fun." She applied her make-up and gathered her books before going to meet Ron in the common room as she always did before they went to breakfast. She stopped for a second to look the bathroom mirror again and started towards the common room.

"Shit, I forgot my essay for Transfiguration. I better go back and get it." Hermione moaned and headed back towards the 7th year Gryffindor Girls' dorm rooms.

She opened her side drawer to get out her essay when she noticed a single rose on her bed with a note attached.

Hermione's heart started to beat really fast. So fast, she could feel it in her throat.

She picked up the rose with her free hand and looked at the note attached.

Dear Hermione, I've loved you since the first day I saw you. I know I want to spend the rest of my life with you. I'm sorry I cannot tell you who I am now. but soon you will find out. Love always, Anonymous

Hermione didn't know what to think. Automatically she thought this was some sick joke Ron or Harry was playing on her, but she remembered how Harry had smiled so brightly the day before and had carried her books back to the dorm room. Or Ron, who always went to breakfast with her. but he had a girlfriend.

Hermione put the rose in her side drawer and rushed toward the common room to inform Ron about it, even though she was sure he already knew.
