Chibi-Kari: Sorry for the long wait everyone...you see Em and I live
across the country from each other and I was visiting her when we started
this...so it will take longer to update...sorry and sorry this is so short. Blame it on
summer school...cause I have 3 tests and a 9 page paper to complete.
Emaleneangel: We don't own. And I'm being attacked by spiders so this
is going to take a long time on my side too...but we will try and get them up as
soon as possible. On with the fic...

FLASHBACK
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
Dear Mum,
Sorry, I haven't written in a while. I've just been so busy with classes, but
I guess that you already knew that. McGonagall is teaching us disillusionment
charms and potions has become a twenty-four hour thing (a lot of the
concoctions we're working on require twenty-four hour stirring.) Ron, Harry, and
Ginny are fine. Crookshanks misses you. Anyway, I'm writing because I was
wondering if you could owl me the make-up that you gave me for my birthday
(You know the stuff I've never used). Thanks in advance.
Love Always,
Hermione

And thus the worst day of her life had begun. First, she had actually worn
the makeup and straightened her hair. Then of course Jacqui made that stupid
comment about her teeth, which no one seemed to notice. No one liked her new
look. Finally, Draco...now that was the worst mistake of her life. She had
actually made out with him...in front of the whole school. But by far the worst
thing was Dumbledore's 'little speech.'
"Tap tap tap..." Came at her bedroom window. She looked over to see a
brown owl tapping at her window. She slowly opened it and the owl flew in and
landed on her table with her abandoned school work. Hermione looked at its leg
and sure enough there was a little note attached. She opened it...

THE LETTER
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
Dear Mudblood...I mean Hermione,
Sorry, about the 'little speech' Dumbledore gave us...I swear I had never
gotten that before. It must have embarrassed you...of course it didn't affect me
at all...with all the girls I've done before. But that isn't the point...meet me at
Ravenclaw's entrance after curfew. We are going to come up with a plan that will
show my bit...I mean beautiful cousin, who is in charge. We may not normally be
on the same side...and we aren't quite doing this for the same reasons. Like for
you it is Ron...which is beyond me. And for me it is to get rid of that good for
nothing two timing little who...but we both know what she is already...just come.

Hermione waited until their curfew and then slowly crept down the stairs.
She felt really guilty about having stolen Harry's invisibility cape, but she figured
after all she had gone through with him, he owed her.
To her surprise the common room wasn't empty. Although she couldn't
see who sat in the chair shadows flickered against the wall and little smacking
noises could be heard. 'Oh great,' she thought, rolling her eyes. 'Just what I
need, two love sick teenagers. At least they won't notice me.' Carefully she tip-
toed around the edge of the room.
When she finally reached the doors, she turned around to see the couple,
knowing, even then, that she probably shouldn't. Wrapped together on the couch
were Jacqui and Ron, almost every piece of their bodies entwined. Hermione felt
her hands clench as she prevented her repressed emotion from escaping from
her lips in a sob. For a moment she just stood there watching them, hating the
world for the fact that tears were sliding down her face from her clenched eyes.
Then without warning, Jacqui's eyes shot open. Although she didn't stop
playing tonsil hockey she looked directly where Hermione was standing.
Hermione felt her breath quicken, and decided to make her escape into the
hallway before the blonde could say anything.
As the painting slid closed she slammed her back against the wall, "She
couldn't have seen me...I mean I was invisible...she she?"
Hermione whispered to herself. She then, pulled herself together and walked
toward the Ravenclaw common room's entrance, still trying to convince herself
that Jacqui couldn't have seen her. As she rounded the final corner, she saw
Draco with leaning against the wall with his eyes half closed. Hermione giggled
because she thought that he was kind of cute when he wasn't talking and being
annoying or for that matter being himself. She quickly clamped her hand over
her mouth when she realized she had giggled. The sound of her laughter had
caused Draco to jump a foot and look around in bewilderment.
"Could you look any stupider?" Hermione said as she lifted the hood off of
her head, revealing her form.
"I don't know, Muffin, you seem to bring out the stupidest parts of me."
Draco said trying to act cool.
"So what are we going to do?" Hermione said as he led her away from the
entrance.
