A/N: Thanks for the reviews and glad you really liked the last
chapter. Yeah, it's Terry Boot. Not Draco Malfoy though lots of people were
expecting him since it was, after all, a D/Hr fic. Don't worry about the
pairings right now alright?
A letter to Draco Malfoy from Hermione
Granger
Malfoy,
Yes, it turned out to be Terry Boot. It is surprising that was he who had sent me all those letters and gifts the whole while. But really, he is not a Nancy Boy as you call him. In fact, he happens to be a perfect gentlemen unlike a few boys that I know of. We had a lovely time yesterday.
And the reason why you like to owl me Malfoy? Simple. You like me Malfoy. There's nothing much to say to that.
Granger
P.S. And I won't feed your owl for you. Go do it yourself. It's not like I'm your house-elf or anything. And also, I don't feed stupid owls that only know how to nip other people's knuckles. It nipped Ron's knuckles just a minute ago and Ron was ready to wring the bird's neck if I hadn't stopped him in time. Of course, he asked me whose owl it was and when I said that it was yours, he wanted to kill it again.
A letter to Mr. and Mrs. Granger from Hermione
Granger
Dear mum and dad,
I'm dreadfully sorry that I haven't written to you for so long. I've had so much to do. And there are my prefect duties as well. They're going fine by the way. Ron and I were asked to patrol the corridors on particular nights. We caught a few Slytherins trying to lock up some first year students in a broom closet once. Also, there's something else I need to tell you. Ever since the start of school, I've had a secret admirer sending me letters and gifts. Well the first time, he sent a note and a really beautiful rose. And then one time, he sent me a packet of Sugar Skulls which he had brought from Honeydukes at Hogsmeade. And no, mum and dad, I didn't have too much of it. I gave some to my friends. Well, yesterday my secret admirer revealed himself. We went out to Hogsmeade just yesterday for tea and we had a grand time. Don't worry, he's not of that sort. He's really sweet and polite and I'm sure you'd approve of him. His name's Terry Boot and he's from Ravenclaw. That's all I have to say about him for now. Also, I need to go and help my friend with his homework. Write back soon!
Love, your daughter,
Hermione Granger
P.S. I'm looking forward to seeing you all for Christmas! I'll see you then!
Notes to Hermione Granger from Lavender Brown
Well, the secret admirer turned out to be Terry Boot. Well it's not like he's totally dishy or anything but he's got the charisma and he does look cute when you look at him from some sort of angle. - Lavender
Haven't I told you not to disturb me during class? Imagine if I miss all this and it comes up for our Exams this year! And you usually sign of as Lavender and Parvati. What happened to Parvati? Where is Parvati anyway? - Hermione
Oh come on Hermione, missing one lesson doesn't hurt. And you're a smart witch so you'll catch up. Well, Parvati wasn't feeling well so she had to go to the Hospital Wing for the day. - Lavender
Well thank you and I hope your friend gets well soon. - Hermione
SO. Tell me. How did it go? - Lavender
How did what go? And can't we talk about this later? Professor Flitwick's looking our way. He might take points off our house if he catches us. - Hermione
Stop playing with me Hermione Granger! I'm talking about the date. You and Terry. How did it go??? Any shy glances? Any kisses? Any sparks go off between you two??? And don't worry about Professor Flitwick. It's not like he's Professor Mcgonagall or something. And he's very small. How on earth can he see us passing notes in class? Parvati and I do it all the time you know. - Lavender & Parvati
It's none of your business really! - Hermione
Oh come on Hermione. Tell me at least something. Were there sparks flying? And what did you mean by 'none of your business'? What really did happen Hermione?? - Lavender
The only sparks that are flying are from my wand. I'm aching to turn this piece of parchment into fire. Well, if you are dying to know about how my date went, it went all right. I don't know about sparks or anything like that but I've never read a romance novel in my whole life. - Hermione
Well I don't blame you for being quite un-romantic. You ought to put away those spellbooks that you're always reading and read more romance novels Hermione. I could lend you mine if you want. If you're going to go out with a boy you ought to have at least an ounce of romance in you. - Lavender
Er thanks for the offer but no. I'd rather stick to my own books, thanks. Now are you two going to stop bothering me or not?? - Hermione
No I can't. I haven't had any good gossip lately. So tell me more about Terry. What was he really like? Did he hold your hands on that date? Ooh I remember my first date. It was quite romantic. - Lavender
Alright, he was quite romantic. A perfect gentleman. And we held hands. - Hermione
You're not being graphic enough. And you didn't even ask me about who I went out with on my first date - Lavender
Oh fine. Who? - Hermione
Seamus. - Lavender
Seamus Finnigan??? Well of course, you two went to the Yule Ball together in fourth year but dating??? Well - I'm lost for words right now. - Hermione
Well yes, Seamus and I once dated but it didn't quite work out because it seemed sort of boring to be dating someone from the same house. And what's wrong with me dating Seamus? Is it weird to you?? - Lavender
Well. It's just that maybe it's because he's, you know, Irish. - Hermione
Just because he's Irish??? - Lavender
Yes, well his accent's sort of funny and he's - Merlin, I can't believe I'm actually discussing Seamus Finnigan with you of all people at a time like this! And I think I missed up on something important as well. - Hermione
Oh relax Hermione. Missing one fact's not going to kill you. You can always ask Terry Boot. He's your boyfriend now isn't he? - Lavender
Oh. Thanks alot Lavender. You had just gotten the both of us into trouble. Now we have 15 points off our house - Hermione
Hermione, he only took off 10 points off our house! - Lavender
Well it's 15 now. I'm taking another 5 points off our house just because you're disturbing me. Send me notes in class again and I'll take off more house points! - Hermione
A letter to Hermione Granger from Draco
Malfoy
Granger indeed you are not my house-elf. You are my slave for the rest of the school year. It is part of our deal after all isn't it? If you don't feed my owl, I shall 'accidentally' let slip to the whole school about those two lovebirds.
And how dare you for suggesting that I'm owling you because I like you. If I were to like you which I absolutely won't, I'd be under some sort of trance and not acting myself. I don't like you Granger. I despise you as much as you despise me. Now, lend me that essay that the Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher asked us to write.

A letter to Draco Malfoy from Hermione
Granger
Malfoy, you just won't admit it will you? If you despise me, you wouldn't be owling me. And when I vowed never to owl you ever again and you went and found out about Harry and Cho and decided to blackmail me, you got me to owl you again and look at us now. We're still owling each other aren't we? Why not just let me pass my homework to you secretly somewhere instead of by owl? It's much more convenient isn't it?
Granger
P.S. And I fed your owl. Happy now? And also I am not a slave to you. Stop using the word alright?
A letter to Hermione Granger from Draco
Malfoy
Granger use your brain. Potter and Weasley would get suspicious if you keep disappearing all the time just to pass me your homework in some secret place. Stop suggesting that I like you. It's like a curse when you say that. Now where's that essay?
D. Malfoy
A letter to Draco Malfoy from Hermione
Granger
Whatever you say Malfoy. Well, I wouldn't want to waste my parchment on you right now. We could probably argue this later on in the evening. The professor's assigned the both of us to do our prefect duties together tonight. It's not like I'm happy about it either. I'd rather spend my time in the Common Room revising than spending it with some slimy twitchy ferret. The essay is along with this letter. You do know that this isn't going to go on now do you? Sooner or later, Harry's probably going to come up and reveal it all.
