Chapter 5:

"Ok Hermione…we going to go with the plan?"

" Yea…I already told them that I couldn't go to Hogsmead with them since I have to study ahead… you know, for the next discussion." I replied.

"Great."

" 'Mione…you sure you can't come with us?" Ron asked.

" Honestly Ron, how do you think I know all the answers? I got to study. Anyways we'll need those points since you misbehaved so badly yesterday."

" Ohh…'Mione you know I didn't mean to-"

I smiled at him, " I know Ron… you couldn't help it." Though I said to Ginny, " He totally could help it. But you know, it's the temper."

Ginny laughed, " Yup, the famous Weasley temper."

------------

As we said goodbye to them by the entrance Ginny said, " you know. I'll think I'll stay for a while and keep Hermione company. She may change her mind… right 'Mione?"

" Oh, Ginny…you're so sweet but I doubt it."

"Don't matter. I'll keep you company for awhile."

" Well, I'm going to the tower before I got to the Library…I'll meet you there Gin?"

" Yeah. In the library"

" Ok…seeya guys!" Hermione said cheerfully

" Bye"

"Mhmmm"

"Sure you don't wanna come?"

Hermione turned around, " Ron…" she smiled, "I'm a hundred percent sure."

" Ok then...-"

When Hermione left, Ginny said to Ron and Harry, " I'll try to persuade her but if she doesn't go…we'll I don't know. I'll head to Hogsmead around lunchtime."

"Ok… try your best Gin."

"Yeah…good luck."

---------

" So… what time is it?"

" Eleven."

"Well let's go Gin! I have to be there by eleven-thirty!"

"Hermione…you're going to be half an hour early! Anyways…what if he's late?" Hermione kept quiet and gave Ginny a pleading look…

" OK… just let me get my bag."

" Thanks!"

-------------

So Hermione, a.k.a. Cathie, was on her way with Ginny to meet her Quill-pal, Benvolio.

As she neared the Shrieking Shack she stopped in her tracks.

" Look Gin, look who's at the meeting place."

" O my!" Ginny gasped as she instinctively covered her mouth, "it…can't be." she whispered barely audible.

"I think it is him…Benvolio." Hermione replied.

A/N: Bit of a cliffy there ain't it? Wonder who's Benvolio… he's obviously a character whom we've already met, there's a bit of irony here if you've read between the lines…lol…(-)

LUV YA!
