A/N: Sorry I haven't updated at all. I've been busy and these few weeks have been crazy and also, I went on vacation. Thanks for all the reviews (Hm, I seem to keep saying that at the beginning of every chapter) and I'd really like to answer your questions but right now .. I've got alot of things to do. Yeah. So I'll answer them in the next chapter! Ok, enjoy this new chapter for now. Take care :P
I am sure by now you've stopped crying. It's been hours already since we were in the library and then got kicked out from it by the barmy old hag more usually known as Madam Pince. Right, I'd just like to tell you Granger, that you still have my handkerchief with me. Yes, the nice green silky one with the initials D.M embroidered on it at one corner. Meet me outside the Great Hall just around the corner in the morning before you head off to join Weasel King and Pothead for breakfast. Oh and I'd just like to remind you once again: Don't deny the all-too-obvious fact that you don't love that Ravenclaw idiot Granger. Because you really don't. Anyway you and Terry don't look good together if you ask me. Goody, goody know-it-all people don't go together.
M
P.S. Tell Weasel and Potty to break their legs in today's Quidditch match for me will you? And I mean literally.
A letter to Draco Malfoy from Hermione Granger
Malfoy I'd just like to say thanks. Thanks for comforting me there in the library. But knowing you, after almost 4 months of owling you, I'd expect you'll start to deny this. Also, I'd like to say sorry. Sorry for being a baby at the library and sorry that I took your handkerchief (though the fact that you actually carry a green silk hanky around in the pocket of your robes actually amuses) And you don't really need to remind me that I don't love Terry. You're right Malfoy. I do not love him at all. Maybe I love him as a friend like Ron or Harry (and will you please call them by their proper names for once?)
GrangerA card for Harry Potter from Hermione Granger and Ron Weasley Dear Harry,
I hope you read this letter as soon as you've woken up. This is the second time you've gotten into an accident in the Quidditch pitch. Merlin, the last time you were in the hospital wing, it was because of Malfoy. Now it's because of another Slytherin who cast a Dark mark right in the middle of the Quidditch pitch right when you were about to catch the snitch! Just in case you'd like to know what happened, there was chaos after the Dark mark was cast. Someone knocked into you with his broomstick and you got knocked out and fell off your broom and down to the ground. It was a lucky thing, Professor Dumbledore managed to slow you down as you reached the ground like how he did in third year Harry, and once again, I thought you -
Hey Harry, it's Ron here. Hermione couldn't write any more and she was bursting into tears and almost messed up this card. Anyway we really thought you were dead Harry. Whoever cast that Dark mark is really going to get it from Dumbledore. He's really mad now. That git's going to get it from Dumbledore and he's going to find himself out of Hogwarts for good. I hope it's Malfoy though. I'd like to see that smirk wiped off his rat face once more don't you? Anyway, nobody's dead or anything but we all know by now that we have a few Death Eaters in the school. Blimey, can you imagine that Harry? Death Eaters! At Hogwarts! Snape isn't very pleased at all. Everybody's suspecting the Slytherins. And as you know by now Harry, there are security trolls guarding the entrance of the Hospital Wing, in case anyone tries to harm you or anything. Madam Pomfrey's not pleased. Merlin, I definitely wouldn't be happy myself if those ugly trolls guarded my bedroom or something. Well, Hermione and I have to help the teachers and Hagrid decorate the Great Hall for Christmas. Take care of yourself and hope you recover! Hermione says the same thing too. Bye!
Love,
Hermione and Ron
A letter to Hermione Granger from Terry Boot
Dear Hermione,
I hope you're doing well. Well I haven't seen much of you lately ever since .. well, you know don't you? I really am sorry about it Hermione, I truly am. I bet you're sick of me apologising alot now aren't you? Well I'll change the subject then. How's your friend, Harry? I saw what happened today at the Quidditch match. It was awful .. of course, everybody's suspecting the Slytherins. I'm thinking it might be Draco Malfoy. He hates Harry doesn't he? Oh well. Do take care of yourself Hermione. I really mean it since times are getting bad around here at Hogwarts. Not as bad as last year though but still-
Love,
Terry
A letter to Terry Boot from Hermione Granger
Dear Terry,
I haven't seen much of you as well. I'm doing well and I hope it's the same for you. I still can't get over what happened today. Either someone tried to really do Harry in or he or she did it just for fun. Well either way, that person almost succeeded in killing my best friend. Everyone in the Gryffindor Common Room is talking about it. And yes, everyone's suspecting the Slytherins. But somehow I strangely don't suspect Malfoy even though everyone thinks he's likely to cast that Dark Mark. Honestly I don't. Well I have to go and study right now , though I might find that impossible to do so since it's so noisy in here. I wish I can cast a silencing charm on the whole room but it would only last a few hours. I have alot to study even though the Finals start only after Easter and it's only the beginning of December!
Your friend,
Hermione
P.S. Please meet me at the library before dinner. We have to talk. I can't write it here Terry as I feel that this is something we need to talk face to face about. Thanks!
A letter to Hermione Granger from Draco Malfoy
Granger,
Two things I'd like to talk about. First off, I am not the one who cast that Dark Mark at that Quidditch match. I'm sure you're suspecting me along with your other loyal Gryffindor friends, Weasel King included. As much as I'd like to torment the Boy-Who-Lived-(To-Be-A-Big-Pain-In-My-Rear) I wouldn't be stupid enough to cast a Dark Mark in front of everyone at Hogwarts and with Dumbledore around as well. Still, I'm not the only Slytherin who's being suspected of casting that Dark Mark. Everybody's suspecting each and every one of us. But I do have to say I'm suspecting Millicent. Alright I'm not actually suspecting her but I wish it was that wench who cast that Dark Mark. After all, she has a brain the size of an Every Flavour Bean (could be smaller though) and she hates Potter. Besides she's smelly, aggressive and has a strange obsession with cats. And also, me. Not that I find her obsession with me strange. I am after all very irresistible. But my point is, I am innocent. Read this twice over Granger. I, Draco Malfoy, am innocent.
The next thing I'd like to talk to you about is what the bloody hell were you thinking when you decided to go to Loony Lovegood for some love advice? Not that I'd like to interfere here - well, actually I do, but can't you have gone to some other person for advice other than Lovegood? And I thought I gave you some good advice the other day. You, Granger, are weird. And so is Lovegood here who thinks that the idea of you and me together is rather .. cute. Wait no .. I think it's cute. I picture the two of us together .. as though we're in a photograph and I see the two of us smiling and cuddling .. until I go and whisper something into your ear and then you go and whack me behind my head and you go out of the picture. Oh yes how cute.
Well now that I've said those two things, I guess I'd better be off to the library now. Oh don't look so surprised Granger (I'm sure you are if you're reading this part right now) but I need to research something for the assignment Snape paired us up for. Or I could ask you but I can imagine what you'd say if I'd ask you: "I'm not going to do all the work here Malfoy. Use your own brain and not mine .. honestly!"
Malfoy
P.S. Oh and thank you very much for returning my handkerchief. And I'm surprised Granger. I do believe it's the first time you've said sorry to me? And to admit that you were a baby as well? How .. Gryffindor-like of you to admit it. I suppose it takes guts to admit such a thing like that.

Granger
P.S. I've attached the handkerchief to Hedwig's leg and I swear she won't damage it or anything.
P.P.S. Oh and another thing, I've talked to Luna Lovegood about my problem. About Terry and me (And yes, I already know I don't love him so stop rubbing it in my face will you?) Well, though I find her weird, I somehow find her extremely helpful in cases like these. She said that love works in mysterious ways and that I needn't love Terry in that way if I didn't want to and that she somehow found the idea of you and me together very 'cute' (I don't know why she said that though). I'm finding it all rather amusing. Imagine you, Malfoy, dating me!
