Hermione wondered slowly up to the Griffindor common room, she'd probably be late for her first lesson. Oh well, to the hell with it she thought, I'll fake illness! This was quite unlike Hermione but she felt changed, different somehow, maybe, if she dare admit it, just maybe she was falling in love.
She smiled to herself as she carefully folded the lilac robes that Tim had given her. She pulled over her black Hogwarts uniform and sat down on her bed.
She ran last nights happenings through her head, his body, his kisses, his warmth.
'Oh my!' Hermione exclaimed. 'Am I in love?'
After all the times Tim had asked her and she had replied no she suddenly felt as though if he asked her now she would tell in yes.
'Yes!' Said Hermione aloud. 'Yes, yes, YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!'
As soon as Hermione knew it was time for second lesson she picked up her bag and made her way out of the room, a trace of the smile was still lingering in the corners of her mouth.

BANG!!! CRASH!!!!! THUD!!!!!!!!!
Malfoy raced up the stairs of the mansion that they were using as their head quarters. It seemed that his master was back and it sounded as though he was not pleased. He threw open the door and quickly moved to avoid a piece of china being thrown at his head. He ducked and crawled along the floor to the hem of his master's robes, where he knelt.
'MALFOY!' Raged his master.
'Yes, yes, m, my Lord' stuttered Malfoy clearly terrified.
'It did not work!' screamed the voice. 'Soon that irritating mud blood lover will be back and will ruin my chances!'
'My Lord. Do not worry, it will work, it has never failed once.'
'Well, maybe it has this time, maybe it was you potion making' screamed the voice dragging Malfoy up by the collar of his robes.
'N, n, no my lord!' choked Malfoy. 'Impossible.'
Malfoy's Lord threw him down on the floor.
'So, what do you propose you do and will save you from me killing your sorry skin'?
Malfoy gulped.
'Er, go back, she'll only need a gentle nudge in the right direction'.
The voice stared at him.
'And the scum?'
'Dumbledore? I'll take care of him' replied Malfoy.
'Good' said the voice calmer now.
'There is one thing, My Lord' said Malfoy.
'What!'
'You'll need to tell the girl who you really are'.
'WHAT!!!!!!!!!'
Malfoy quivered.
'I'll give you a stronger draft of the potion, but you'll need to tell her soon, it's the only way' murmured Malfoy.
The voice let out a scream of rage and then there was nothing. Malfoy stared at the place where his master had been, if this doesn't work nothing will he thought sadly to himself'.

Harry and Ron stared at each other, it was Friday morning and ever since yesterday Hermione had seemed unusually happy with herself. She kept singing songs under her breath and when asked why she was so happy she replied 'nothing'.
This was really starting to annoy Rona and Harry.
'I had a really bad dream last night' murmured Harry quietly so no one could hear them. Ron immediately looked scared and Hermione's smile faded to be replaced by a look of concern. 'It was really bad, my head hurt really badly. I think Voldemort is planning something'.
'You should tell Dumbledore Harry' said Hermione.
'Oh yeah and how am I going to do that?' asked Harry 'he's gone somewhere.'
Just then the owl post arrived and a big eagle owl dropped a note into Hermione's lap. Ron twisted round trying to see what the note was. Hermione picked up her school bag.
'See you in Transfiguration' she said whilst walking out of the hall.
'That girl - honestly!' Cried Ron rolling his eyes. Harry just smiled forgetting all about his dream.

Hermione reached the library and sat down at her usual table and got out the note she had received, she knew already who it would be from.
Dearest Hermione,
I have found a special room. Saturday night, 9 o'clock. Go to the direction of the dungeons and a house elf will guide you the rest of the way. I have something very important to tell you. I look forward to seeing you.
I love you.

Hermione stared at the letter. I have something to tell you as well, she thought, I want to tell you that I love you.
She folded up the letter and put it in her robes and walked out of the library door, ignoring Madam Pinch's comments that she was using the library as a train station. She headed for transfiguration with only two things on her mind - Tim and Saturday night.
