A/N: So, I felt like writing today, hehehe. Anyway, this chapter is kind
of pointless. Nothing very crucial happens but this story needed a girlish
touch, don't you think? ENJOY!! And REVIEW!

Kissing a Green and Silver Serpent: Chapter IX
A Friend's Advice
Hermione had intended to use the library before lunch, but after what had just happened she was sure she was not going to be able to concentrate on anything. Her new idea was to go to her room and knit some elf clothe, that was an excellent distraction, she would free her mind from Malfoy and crimson roses getting her ready to d some homework after lunch.
However, the moment she entered her room she regret it, above her four- poster Bandy was flouting with a little package tied to her leg.
"Oh my." sighted Hermione as she sat on her bed to release the parcel and unwrap it. Again there wasn't a note but she knew the owl by now, and the absence of a letter confirmed her suspicions about who had sent the flowers, it all came down to one person: her secret admirer.
She opened the package to find a little black box that looked as if it was from a jewelry, and inside it a pair of silver earrings, shaped like a star and with a little emerald on each of its tips. She didn't like Slytherin colors, but when she tried them on and looked at her reflection on the mirrors noticed that the emeralds had change into little zephyrs to match her blue t-shirt.
"Wow, they are incredible!" She couldn't believe someone had given her a present like that, they sure to cost a fortune
"I can't keep them"
"Why not?" Asked the mirror "They look great on you"
"Don't they?... No, no I can't" She took them off and turned to tie the little box back on Bandy's leg but she was gone.
"I suppose that means you get to keep them" Said the mirror
"I suppose" She answered uncertainly
She had something else to think about now; she completely dismissed the idea of knitting. Tomorrow she had t give her secret admirer an answer, and what was she going to tell him.
"It's time to consult my councilor. I didn't feel like doing homework anyway"
She went to the room that read "Fifth years", she knocked and entered. "Ginny are you here?"
"'Mione, come in. It is high time you came.When were you intending to tell me you went on a date with my brother?!!"
"Gin, when I finish telling you all that has happened to me in the last 5 days you'll probably have forgotten about my date with Ron. Come into my room with me, I have things to show you too. Believe me, I've never needed your advice so much!"
An as soon as they were both comfortably sitting in Hermione's bed, surrounding by packs of sweets and a couple of butterbeers (hey, where have you seen two friends chatting about boy without supplies?) she launched into the story, she told her best friend about the letters, charms classes with Malfoy, how oddly he had been acting lately, the whole Ron thing, and she finished with what she felt every time Draco looked at her in the eye and what had happened that very morning. When she finished Ginny was gazing at her, her mouth was hanging open and she looked as though she had forgotten how to talk.
"Wow, I." She shook her head vigorously as to recover from the shock of Hermione's stories and said "First of all: I'm really sorry you are Ron aren't meant to each other I always embraced the idea of us being sisters"
"Yes, Gin me too. but we can moan about that later. What do you reckon I should do about the rest?"
"You're right, there are more pressing matters. Well if I were you I would accept this mystery man's invitation. It would add a little excitement t this ball. Don't you think?"
"But, what if it's all a cruel joke"
"I doubt it is, in the fist place nobody would spend so much money on a pair of earrings for a joke, and secondly because the only person mean enough to do something like that is Malfoy and you have said you didn't think he was your secret admirer"
"Fair point!" Hermione said smiling at her best friend.
"I tell you what, a friend of Michel won't have a date to the ball, he is just too shy to ask anyone out. A real pity, he's very handsome. So I'll talk to him and if this turns out to be a joke he'll be your date. What do you think?"
"But what if it isn't a joke, he won't have a date then"
"Oh, don't worry about Tom. Trust me, this is the only way he can get a date. He won't be at all disappointed. In fact he would probably be relieved because he won't have to dance in front of the whole school. The thing is, he owns me a favor. so." Ginny shrugged.
"Ok then" Said Hermione sounding much happier "Ginny, you are my lifesaver. What would I do without you?"
"You'll be locked up in the library the whole day" Ginny said jokingly "But bare in mind this, if you ever take so much time t tell me a thing like this, I'll kill you. S I want to know exactly what you write to your secret admirer and what he answers, got it?"
"I promise!" Said Hermione with her hand on her chest. But she had already broken her promise, because she hadn't mentioned to her friend that after what had happened during breakfast she know though that Malfoy wasn't as bad as they believed. However she would kiss the snake again, without the spell to make her lips tactless, before saying it aloud.
The two girls spent the rest of the afternoon talking and giggling about the upcoming ball, Ginny's chances on Harry asking her to g with him, what they were going to wear. Hermione couldn't believe how Lavenderish she was acting, but it felt nice to abandon her book-warm role
A/N: Hermione has made a decision, what will happen when she finds out who her secret admirer is? You'll have to wait to know. but please, make my day and review! =0)
