The Real Me Chapter 7 The Letter and A Surprise Person
Hermione woke to the sun shining in her face. "Urg", she mumbled, "It's to early." When she looked at her clock, her opinion changed. "Oh no, I missed breakfast. Why do I always miss meals?" she muttered angrily to herself. She climbed out of bed and took a shower. She came back to her room to decide what to wear. She finally settled on violet jeans, and a matching T-shirt. She put on a silver necklace with an amethyst jewel in the shape of a heart. She pulled on purple sandals, and put on some lip gloss, and changed her hair back to brown. Her outfit suited her mood, she was well rested and peaceful. After reading A Wrinkle in Time, she always felt like this, and almost always wore purple after, weird but true. She grabbed one of her most treasured possessions. She had found it in Diagon Alley, it was a new invention. It was a portable c.d. played, but since it was magical it could be used in magical places. She grabbed a bag for it and a bunch of c.d.s, through them in the bag, and off she went.

Hermione joined the crowd that was waiting for carriages. She put on her favourite pair of sunglasses, silver (a/n: finally, something that isn't purple!) with amethyst jewels on the edges (a/n: spoke too soon...). She kept herself hidden, she didn't want to be seen, she wanted to do the seeing. She seated herself in a carriage, put her feet up and pulled on her headphones. She popped a c.d. in her player. Fever, one of Kylie Minogue's (a muggle artist) albums. She went to "Can't Get You Out of My Head". Unfortunately for her, the carriages didn't have windows, so it was just open space and you could hear anyone talking, or singing. She didn't realize it, but she started to sing along to the song.
"La la la
La la la la la
La la la
La la la la la
I just can't get you out of my head
Boy your loving is all I think about
I just can't get you out of my head
Boy it's more than I dare to think about
La la la
La la la la la La la la
La la la la la
I just can't get you out of my head
Boy your loving is all I think about
I just can't get you out of my head
Boy it's more than I dare to think about
Every night
Every day
Just to be there in your arms
Won't you stay
Won't you lay
Stay forever and ever and ever and ever
La la la
La la la la la La la la
La la la la la
La la la
La la la la la
I just can't get you out of my head
Boy your loving is all I think about
I just can't get you out of my head
Boy it's more than I dare to think about
There's a dark secret in me
Don't leave me locked in your heart
Set me free
Feel the need in me
Set me free
Stay forever and ever and ever and ever
La la la
La la la la la
La la la
La la la la la (more las)
I just can't get you out of my head
I just can't get you out of my head
I just can't get you out of my head..."
Poor Hermione didn't realize that everyone stopped talking to listen to her sing, or that she was singing at all, and at the top of her lungs. She took off her headphones because she heard a weird noise all around her and opened her eyes to see and hear everyone clapping. She realized what she had done, and started to blush as red as Ron's hair. The song was just how she felt, accept she was thinking about 2 boys, not one. And she didn't know they both heard her song. Hermione was thankful that her carriage stopped, and eager to get away, she jumped out, and crashed into someone. She looked up it was Harry and Ron was right beside him.
"Umm, hi guys", she said nervously. "Hi", they said back. They both looked at her nervously. "Er, do you want to come to the Zonko's with us?" Ron asked. "Actually, I'm off to get my costume", she told them, "Bye", she said and walked away as quickly as she could. She headed to a costume shop in Hogesmade, Costumes 'R' Us. Hermione decided what she would be for the ball while browsing. She knew a spell that could. and she actually had probably the only.. She just had to find the perfect dress. "This might be hard", she whispered softly to herself. She looked around in almost every store that could possibly have what she was looking for. She finally found the perfect gown! She tried it on, and Lady Luck was with her, it fit perfectly and looked marvelous in it. She bought it, found a mask and shoes, and lugged them out of the shop.
As Hermione came out of the shop, she bumped into a dog. A giant black dog. "Oh, I'm sorry hunny, I didn't see you", she told the dog and patted him. "This dog looks familiar", she thought. Then it clicked. "Snuffles!" she whispered. The dog gave her what looked like a nod, then started pulling on her shirt, and walked away. She assumed he wanted her to follow him, so she did. He brought her to the caves where he had been in there fourth year, and transformed into a person she instantly recognized, Sirius Black. She gave him a hug, but before she could say a thing, he spoke. "Hermione, take this." He handed her an envelope which said, "My Dearest E", and two necklaces and a ring. "Read the letter in private, and make sure you're sitting down. The letter will explain these. I have to go it was a favor for a friend to give you these. Just read the letter." With that, he transformed into a dog, and bounded down the mountain. "He didn't let me say a word! I wonder what this letter is about. I should get back to Hogwarts." she thought. Hermione made her way back to Hogwarts.
******
By the time Hermione got to the Entrance Hall, she was soaked. It started to rain, and she had to run all the way back. She put a water repelling charm on her costume, but didn't bother doing one for herself. She loved the rain, and it didn't bother when she got wet, at least in rainwater. It sort of healed her, she felt much better when she arrived back at Hogwarts.
Hermione made her way up to her Dormitory, and put her costume in her trunk. She made sure it was safe. She remembered the letter, and decided to read it in the library, sitting down, following Sirius's advice. Hermione grabbed the letter, the 2 necklaces and the ring, and soon found herself in the library. She wandered about, and found a chair in the corner. There was absolutely no one in the library, she assumed they were all at Hogesmade. Hermione found the envelope and started at it.
"My Dearest E", she mumbled softly to herself, "What does that mean?" She shrugged it off and started to read. At the end of the letter, Hermione's mouth was open. She swiftly got up and exited the library. She headed towards Professor Dumbledore's office. She knew the password, because she was a prefect. She reached the statue that guarded the entrance and said the password, "Smarties". She climbed the staircase and knocked on the door.
She heard Hogwart's Headmaster's familiar voice. "Come in", he told. She opened the door. He was sitting at his desk. "Ahh, Miss Granger come sit down. How may I help you?" he asked her. "I received this letter, and was wondering if you could read it and tell me what you know about what it says.." She was nervous. "Of course", he said, his eyes twinkling. She handed him the letter and waited for his answer.
