Hermione sat on her bed and lay down. An owl hooted softly near her window.
"Oh! I didn't see you here!" she said as she untied the two letters.
She read Ron's letter and quickly sent one back.
Dear Ron,
Wow, you're a poet! Malfoy and boy do rhyme a bit! Good job! I will tell Blaise but in a subtle way. I always told you Prof. Trelawney was a bit off her rocker. But I never knew you had a brother named Charlotte? Did she mean Charlie? I hope we can see each other! I'll ask Prof. McGonagall. And it's spelled sincerely. I just went to the arcade! You have to go! It's awesome! Thanks for owling Harry for me. But how did you send two letters? Did Prof. Trelawney let you? Blaise is really cool! I'm actually having fun! But I miss you so much! Can't wait to see your shining face again!
Love,
Hermy (its fountain pen by the way)
P.S. I have a confession. Ron, I've had a crush on you for a few years now, since our second year. I didn't know how to tell you and I guess this might be a good way. That's all.
She tied up the letter and set it on the table. Then she opened up Harry's.
Dear Hermione,
I can't believe Cho's adopted! But that still doesn't change the way I think about her. Poor Ron. Have you heard about his troubles? Maybe I should hook you and Ron up since Ron isn't taking the hints. How's your week been? Mine has been crazy! Ginny went out shopping with Malfoy! And she didn't complain! Oh, and Remus got hurt. Hermione, I need help. I've been having dreams again. Like the ones I used to have in our 5th year. And it's in the Department of Mysteries again. That's how Remus got hurt. I saw someone come up behind him and stab him. Luckily, he's not injured very much. He will heal soon. We visited him and then we got kicked out for a while. Snape and Remus chatted about whether I could join the Order. Remus was in for it but Snape wouldn't agree. He said he wanted to ask Dumbledore first how bad the situation was and check in on my dreams. I don't want Snape checking in on me like I'm some five year old! What do you think I should do? Should I tell Snape everything? Maybe he can help. I don't know what to do Hermione. But Voldemort's got a plan, I know he does. The dreams are frightening. I can't take it much longer. You've got to help me, Hermione. Snape, Ginny, and Malfoy chatted about something after dinner. I don't know what it is but it seemed urgent. Something's up between ferret boy and Ginny and I don't like it. I don't think Ron will either. But I won't tell him for now and you best to the same. First let me figure out what's happening. Respond ASAP.
Regards,
Harry
Hermione began to write again.
Dear Harry,
I say you should tell Prof. Snape. I know you don't like the idea but it may help. After all he is in the Order and he will tell Dumbledore and everything will be fine. So please tell him. And I'm sorry about Remus. So many get hurt in the battle of good vs. evil. Now, about Ginny and Malfoy. You're right, we shouldn't judge this too quickly. Keep me updated on what's happening. As for Ron and I, I've already written to him and told him. Oh, I hope this doesn't go the wrong way.
Best Wishes,
Hermione
Hermione paused. She had been told only one friend could she owl two times a week. She ran to Minerva.
"Professor?" she asked.
"Yes, dear," replied Minerva as she busily tended to the cooking pots.
"Could I owl both Ron and Harry?" asked Hermione gingerly.
"Of course dear! I forget to say that since they are both in this program you may owl both as many times as you wish. Makes life easier, doesn't it?"
"Very much so! Thank you, Professor," Hermione said as she dashed off to mail her letters.
She sat on her bed, anxiously awaiting Ron's reply along with Harry's.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ RON AND SYBILL~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"I got an owl!" Ron said as she quickly opened up the letter. It was from Hermione. He scanned it over and his heart paused as he read the last line.
He carefully scribbled back an answer.
Dear Hermione,
I'm stunned at your
confession for I too have one. I have also had a crush on you for a while. I
don't know how to ask but would you be my girlfriend? There, I said it! I'm so
proud of myself! Are you actually having fun with a Slytherin? Have you totally
lost it? Yea, Sybill let me! She said I could since you and Harry are both in
this program. It's been wacky here and yes she did mean Charlie. Can't wait to
see you!
Love,
Ron (I don't need sincerely anymore!)
He quickly sent the letter and dropped on his bed.
"I am so lucky!" he cried. He got up and ran over to Sybill.
"Hello," he greeted his teacher.
"Ah, you have come back. Do you want to try again with my predictions? I've been practicing. Come here," Sybill said. She was sitting on the middle of the floor with a white turban on her head. It reminded Ron of Prof. Quirell's turban. He shook the notion out of him and agreed to Sybill's invite. He was in too good of a mood.
"Ah, I see a girl with bushy brown hair. Her name is Hermia. No! No! Her name is Hermione. Ah, yes, Hermione Granger. She is special, is she not?"
"Yea, she is!" Ron cried. She had actually gotten it right. Then all of a sudden his diary floated into his hand. Where the words Take a closer look around you once were was now a new message. It said: See, opening your eyes doesn't always mean horrid things will happen. Enjoy! And a few seconds later he was gone.
"Well, that's less work for me!" cried Sybill as she re-centered herself to meditate. "Om! Om! You are beautiful! Om! Your hair smells like pickles! Om! Professor Flitwick does like you! Om! You will get married soon! Om! Oh, boy, I just love the many things meditation tells you! Imagine, me getting married! And he actually likes me! Wow!" Prof. Trelawney clapped her hands happily and got up. She headed for the kitchen. She took out a plate of tofu and set it down.
"Nothing like tofu to motivate you! I feel pretty! Oh so pretty! I feel pretty and witty and bright! And so…." She went on singing. While she sang a piece of tofu got stuck in her throat. She coughed and swallowed huge amounts of water, but to no avail. Her last words were: …
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
