Chapter 2~You've Got Mail!

Hermione's POV~

'I guess I'll head back now. I mean I thought I could skip lunch. Right now my stomach and my brain are fighting and my stomach seems to be winning.' Hermione smiled and took one last deep breath before heading into the school.

"Hermione!" Harry and Ron said in unison, making the whole hall look their way.

"Ohmigosh Hermione! We thought something happened to you." Said Ron.

"Yea, we almost went crazy...well, I ALMOST did, but Ron here was already at the point of craziness! ha!ha!" Harry said with a hint of sarcasim in his voice.

"Oh." was all she could say. Harry and Ron both gave her the most curious look. 'Wow, they think there is something really wrong with me...' So she smiled and said, "Oh you two, I'm just so hungry that 'oh' was all I could think of saying. I'm sorry if I got you two so worried."

"Oh, that's ok Hermione, worrying about you is our job." Harry said jokingly. But he did mean it.

The three of them talked and talked until the subject of Qudditch came up and for once Hermione was glad that it did. She was just to tired to talk or do anything at the moment. 'I'm just so busy all the time. I'm just trying to keep myself in order, besides, what kind of an example would I be to the younger students if I wern't me?' She laughed to herself at this. 'Hmmmm...it's my sixth year...wow! Just one year and seven more months...I can't believe this...I hope that I get Head Girl next year. If I don't I'll just cry and leave the school...well maybe not that. I wonder who would get Head Boy. I hope it's...' but Hermione's thougths were disturbed by and owl dropping something into her lap. She fed the owl some bread and sent it on its way. She looked at it and didn't recognize the writing, but she read it anyway. It read...

Dear Hermione,

I'm sorry that I acted like a jerk to you. I know that I shouldn't have done what I did to you. It was all to evil and well, yea. Like I said, 'Me? I would have probably done something else to you...' Ha!Ha! I'm just kidding. I really am sorry and I hope that you would forgive me. If you do then please meet me at the Quidditch field at midnight tonight.

Sincerely, Draco Malfoy

'What the hell would he be sending me owls for? Hmmm, it was kind of nice though. He did apologize and he seemed really sorry. I guess I will meet him later.' She looked over to Draco and to her surprise her was looking at her. She nodded and hinted to him that she got the note and would meet him later.

"Who's that from, Hermione?" Both Harry and Ron asked.

"Oh, just my friend. She wanted to tell me that she got this book, and..." But before she could say anymore Ron rolled his eyes and said, "Hermione, you should really take a break from books."

"I can't to that Ronald Weasley. Books are to me, just as Quidditch is to you. Get it?" she said in a almost serious voice. But boths boys knew that she was just being silly. They started to laugh and then it was time for classes.

Gryffindor had a class with Slytherin. Well, acctually, they had more than just A class with them, they had three classes with them everyday.

The day flew by really quickly and before any of the students had realized it, it was time for diner. 'I wonder what Malfoy wants with me. I mean he apologized already, what more is there? Is this all a trick? Why would he waste is time? Why would he even apologize to me? Why would he apologize to anybody? I think there's something fishy going on here.' These questions kept running through Hermione's mind all day since she got the note from Draco.

Everyone in the Great Hall had finally finished eating and they headed for thier dormitories to go to sleep or to do work. It was about 8:00pm when the whole Great Hall was almost cleared. And to a great surprise Hermione was the last to leave. Right when she nodded at the teachers she stood and walked out.
