A/N: Fourth chapter...Thanks to all who reviewed!
Chapter 4: The voices
"Do you know the guy who was sitting back there?" Hermione curiously asked Harry and Ron.
They both shook their heads, "Why?"
"Oh the gorgeous one?" Ginny smiled.
Hermione nodded slowly. "Oh, our Hermione's got a boyfriend, huh? How come you never told us?" Ron
pretended to look hurt.
"He's...not," Hermione started, "Because...he's—" She looked at the three of their faces.
"Forget it..." She tried to, and just sipped on a butterbeer. Of course, none of the three knew what
happened back there in the stools. "It's not important", she told them and kept telling herself.
"So...tell us about this guy. Does he treat you well?" Harry smiled and gave her a wink.
"He's not my boyfriend!!" Hermione replied 'as-a-matter-of-factly'.

Hermione spent her whole day with Ron, Harry and Ginny...but also spent her whole day thinking about
that odd stranger. Why does she keep bumping into him? Does he know her? Does she know him?
She kept her head over heels, (curious-wise), for the guy...in case she sees him again and thinks
something stupid. Instead, she tried to forget it by changing the subject.
"How are you getting home, Harry?" she asked.
"Floo. I've decided stay at Ron's for the weekend." He said, smiling. Ginny's eyes widened. Apparently,
she never knew until now. Her cheeks went rosy and felt as though she just wanted to jump up and
kissed Harry all over the face. But instead she kept her cool.
"Want to come, Hermione?" Ron asked.
Hermione hesitated. "Oh, Hermione. Please!!" Ginny begged.
"Well...I guess I could. After all it's Harry's birthday..." Hermione shrugged, "I just got to—"
"Malfoy!" she heard from the distance. For some weird reason, her heart leaped. She turned to see a
crowd walking in and out of the stores.
"Pardon me?" Ginny was waiting for her sentence. Hermione snapped back to reality.
"What? Oh..." she blinked, "Right. I said I just got to let my parents know..." She looked back again with a
confused expression on her face.
"Great. We'll have a good time...you know, in the bed and all," Ron winked. Ginny nudged him hard on
the arm.
"I was only Draco!!"
Hermione gave him a weird look, "What?"
"I was joking, Hermione," Ron rubbed his arm gently.
"Oh...I thought you said something else..." Hermione muttered to herself.
"Ginny, be a lady! You hit like a man!" Ron told his sister.
"It's not my fault you're such a sissy!" Ginny chuckled as Ron came chasing after her.
"Weasleys..." Harry muttered, until he noticed Hermione's stressed face.
"What's up with you, Hermione? You look so—"
She stared at him.
"...Tense..." Harry looked deep in her eyes, "Anything you wanna tell me?"
She shook her head, and forced out a smile, "Nah..."
Harry hung his head, "Are you sure?" Hermione nodded.
