10 minutes to V-Day

"Ok so you're done. . ." Hermione trailed off as she saw a school owl come through the window.

She went over to the window, let the owl inside and went back to the couch.

"I wonder who's getting a letter at this time of night." She said, just as the owl landed on her arm and held out its leg.

"I've uhh, I've gotta go, bye!" Ron said hurriedly running out through the portrait.

Hermione didn't respond as she untied the letter from the owl's leg and sat back to read it.

On St. Valentines Day I Seek,

A girls whose smile makes me weak,

To have her in my arms forever,

Would surely be the greatest treasure

If you seek the same as I,

Look no further, than beneath the sky

Where students look up, to stare, and ponder

Wondering about the treasures yonder

What could this possibly mean? Do they want me to meet them somewhere? That's what it sounds like. And WHO sent me this? Do they want me to meet them somewhere now? CALM DOWN Hermione! You're the top witch in your class, THINK!

Ok, they must want me to meet them somewhere, whoever THEY are. But where?

Look no further, than beneath the sky

Where students look up, to stare and ponder

So obviously they are looking at the stars, wait. . . stars?! The astronomy tower! They want me to meet them in the astronomy tower! I've got to go!

But it's after curfew said a voice in Hermione's head.

Somebody out there obviously LOVES her, she needs to go! Said a second voice.

After curfew? The first voice said smugly.

YES! ARE YOU DAFT! SHE HAS TO GO!

But she can't, she could get suspended!

"Bloody hell, I'm going crazy!"

Oops, said that out loud. I'll just grab Harry's invisibility cloak and I'll go.

With that decision she crept up the stairs to the boys dormitory. Opening the door excruciatingly slowly, she crept silently into the room.

"Oof!" She said running into something.

"Nice job Hermione!"

"Harry?"

"Yup, and here's the invisibility cloak, just make sure you give it back."

"What?! Why would I need your invisibility cloak!" She said trying to regain her composure.

Harry raised an eyebrow, "Just take it."

"Thanks."

"Goodnight!" He said pushing her out the door.

V-Day

As Hermione hurried through the halls, the clock struck midnight, the sound echoing through the hallway.

Hermione finally reached the astronomy tower, gasping for breath.

She looked around, trying to catch a glimpse of her secret admirer.

Instead, she saw a paper, floating in mid air, and glowing with a fluorescent light.

She walked cautiously over it, just as it bellowed in a loud booming voice.

You have solved the first riddle, very good,

But the true test is yet to come

Are you really the most clever witch in your year?

We shall see. . . We shall see

Come over, solve my riddle,

And the next clue you will find

"Uhh, okay." Hermione said uncertainly, walking over to it.

On the paper it read:

In the realm, of fire above

Red means cold, blue means what?

In the realm above? Hermione looked up. Of course! The stars!

Red means cold. . . oh of course, the temperature! When a star is red, it's cold, when a star is red, it's hot!

A quill appeared in front of her. I guess I'm supposed to write it down or something.

Very good, you passed the first test,

Wondering what awaits you next?

You must be perplexed, oh yes of course,

But surely as the sky is

This too will come too pass.

As surely as the sky is what?

She looked up at the sky. Dark? Black? Blue?

She wrote down "Dark" in the blank space.

"Tisk tisk tisk, Hermione, and you're the

cleverest witch in your year?

We shall see. . . we shall see"

Oh, so this stupid. . . whatever it is. . . voice, thinks it can just get away with that does it? Well "we shall see" now won't we.

"Argh! What does it mean!" She said getting very frustrated.

Just then she remembered something Ron always said about the night sky.

She could just imagine it now. "What's the use of the bloody sky! Aside from girls thinking it's romantic and all, I don't even know why we have it! It's just confusing and uselss!"

She wrote down confusing in the blank.

It's worth a try, she thought.

Now THERES the Hermione I know! The voice boomed again, catching Hermione unaware, as she jumped.

Now onto the next clue

To satisfy you stomach,

Many students come here,

The founding of Spew

"IT'S S.P.E.W!!"

Quiet!

"Sorry." Hermione said meekly.

Anyways

The founding of S.P.E.W cough cough

Was once done here

The founding of S.P.E.W?

Well, she did it for the house elves. The house elves worked in the kitchen. Wait, THE KITCHEN! A Ha! This was getting interesting.

Slipping on the invisibility cloak once again, she ran down to the kitchens.

"What can Dobby do for Missus?" Dobby asked.

"I'm fine, Dobby, but do you know if somebody is waiting for me here by any chance?"

"No, but Mister left something here for Missus, a paper he left here, he did, Dobby give it to Missus now." He said handing a parchment over to Hermione.

Around it many people walk

And sit beside its silvery shores

Big slimey things do live in it

Where you will find your treasure

What the heck! (A/N: would Hermione say heck, I don't know if they say that it England, feedback in your reviews plez!)

Well at least this should be easier to decipher then the other ones. Ok so lets see . . .

Many people walk around it, and sit beside its silvery shores.

Shores! Of course! The Lake!

And the big slimey things, The Giant Squid!

Hermione, with a triumphant smile on her face, once again donned the invisibility cloak and hurried down to the lake.

Arriving at the lake, Hermione walked down to the shores, and looked around.

Nobody here, that's peculiar.

Just as she was starting to think about going back in, she heard a twig snap behind her.

With her heart pounding, she turned around and saw. . .

"MALFOY!"

A/N: MUA HA HA! Im so evil! Lol! But Im already started on the 7th chapter, look later today for it! And if you want me to email you when new chapters come out just tell me in your review! Oh and tell me what you think is going to happen! Dun dun dun! Lol!
