A.N. I really am trying to post more!! Thanks to Hoppers for reviewing

Last Time: "I'll introduce you to some of them tomorrow. Maybe you'll find someone you like."

"Can y'all be quiet! Some of us are trying to sleep." Ron groaned from his bed.

"Night," Ginny and Hermione said together before leaving the room, giggling.

The next day, Ginny and Hermione stayed close to Draco all day, while Draco introduced them to some of his friends. At about six o'clock, Draco introduced them to Matt. He was about two inches taller than Hermione, with hair that was blacker than black – but wasn't dyed. His eyes were a piercing blue that seemed to look directly into the soul itself. Within a few minutes he was making her laugh, a feat that took Ron and Harry a few months to conquer – a fact not unnoticed by them. They had to investigate this guy, after all they were her two best friends – how could they not? Ron decided to become his best friend to figure out what he was really like; while Harry chose to scoop out as many of his old girlfriends as possible and find out why they were no longer going with him.

Ron walked over to where Hermione, Ginny, and Draco were standing.

"Hi, I'm Ron. And you are?" he asked.

"Um, I'm Matt. Hermione, is this your boyfriend?" he asked because Ron suddenly put his arm around Hermione.

"No, he's just one of my best friends." She said quickly shooting an if-looks-could-kill glare towards Ron, "and Ginny's brother."

"Oh, O.K." he said with a look of relief dawning on his face.

"Ron can you go away? We're kinda talking here," Hermione said pointedly.

"Uhh, no. I want to talk to. Harry is acting strange and he's not talking to me right now." Ron explained.

"Right. Whatever, just.... I don't know just go talk to Draco." Hermione said impatiently.

"Hermione, can I talk to you – over there," Matt said pointedly.

"Sure," Hermione said quickly, "Ginny, Ron, I'll be right back."

Once they arrived at the base of the stairs Matt turned toward Hermione, "Er, OK, how do I say this? Will you....Will you go out with me?"

"Yes, Yes I will," she said happily.

"Hi, I'm Harry –"

"Potter. You're the Harry Potter." Matt said excitedly.

"Yeah, I know I am. But who are you?"

"I – I – I'm Matt Byrd."

"Well, Matt, hi."

"Hermione, do you know Him?" Matt nearly squealed.

"Yeah. He's my best friend."

"He's YOUR best friend?!?! Dude, Man you're like my idol!" This time he really DID squeal.

"Hermione, when I say 'three' start backing away slowly." Harry whispered, "Ready? One, Two, Three, go. I'll meet you in the common room."

Hermione, trusting Matt's attention was focused on Harry –and only Harry, she started backing away and after about three feet nearly ran back to Ginny, Ron, and Draco.

"Guys come on, Draco you need to go save Harry from Matt; Ron, Ginny come with me to the common room." Hermione said urgently.

Draco quickly went to direct Matt's attention away from Harry. While the other three slipped away to the common room to wait for Harry and Draco.

"Hey, you know that Matt guy scares me a little bit." Harry said when he woke Hermione up about midnight that night.

"He scares me a bit too," she admitted, "But he is my boyfriend – even though I did NOT know how much he idolizes you until after the fact I had said yes." She half-giggled.

"What you're going with him?"

"Yeah. Why? What do you know?" she demanded.

"Umm, well, I really shouldn't be the one to tell you. I'll leave that up to Draco since he set you two up." Harry said as he and Hermione got to her door, "Night," and he opened her door and left her standing there silent.

As she walked silently into the room, Ginny noticed Hermione's somber mood.

"Hermione? Are you OK? Hermione?"

Hermione just walked across the room to her trunk, opened it, and took out a CD player (CD players work in Sehr Gut) put in JoJo's debut album and lay down her bed, wondering what it was Harry wasn't telling her.

"Draco, why was Harry surprised to find out I'm going out with Matt, besides his obsession with him?" She asked the next morning.

"Um, well, I just found this out," He started.

A.N. I'm sorry its sooo short but I had to leave at least one cliffhanger! But I'll promise never-ever to leave a chapter this short again. Once again I'm Sorry!!!
