Author's Note: Hey, guys! This is the 2nd chapter of my story... Uhmm.. Actually, tomorrow is our field trip (hehe)...err... So I'm doing this to update the story.

Chapter 2—First Weeks, Last Year

"Hey, Herm!" Travis shouted at his girlfriend, Hermione.

"What?! Why are you up so early?" she asked, coming closer to him.

"Actually, I'm planning to go to Hogsmeade today. I'm going to buy something," he answered.

Hermione was about to say something when her two best friends arrived.

"Hey, Travis!" Ron shouted and gave him a high five.

"What's up, buddy?" he said.

"Are we going to give her the—"Ron didn't finish his sentence because Travis placed his hand on Ron's mouth.

"Ahh, okay. We got it Ron, right?" Harry asked.

"What is it, guys? Come on tell me," Hermione interrupted.

"No. It's about boys' stuffs. Well, I see you then, bye" Travis said and gave her a wink.

He was about to go outside the school when Draco Malfoy (Harry made a frown when he saw his face), together with Pansy Parkinson arrived.

"Hey, Harry, Ron, Herm, this is Draco Malfoy." Travis introduced.

"Yeah, we knew him already. As if we care." Ron smirked.

"Guys, don't be so tough on him. Anyways, I want you to know that I would really love if you guys and Draco and Pansy will be friends, all right? Please?!" Travis pleaded.

"Uhmm, I don't think so," Harry shuddered.

Then, Draco did something that surprised them all. He held out his hand.

"I'm sorry for all. Friends?" Draco offered his hand.

Harry, Ron and Hermione hesitated for a while, then decided to shake his hand.

"Okay. See you later. Wanna come with us, Draco?" Harry asked.

"Okay. Pansy, you stay with Hermione. We've got stuffs to do," Draco said to his bride-to-be.

"Okay. We're not going to fight, don't worry" Pansy assured him.

When the boys left, Hermione asked Pansy if she knew all the "stuffs" the boys are planning to do.

"No, I don't. In fact, I'm surprised by his actions. Maybe it's something for all of us." Pansy answered.

"Ahh.. okay. You see, tomorrow is my birthday. I hope Travis doesn't forget all about it." Hermione said.

"I've known Travis so much, he's my childhood friend. He doesn't forget anything." Pansy said.

"I hope so."

The next day, Hermione woke up to see their common room empty and lights out. She tried to open the lights, and when the lights went on, she was surprised to see her friends standing before a cake, the rooms filled with balloons, and party crackers filled the silence. She can't explain her feelings, her friends, Harry, Neville, Ron, Angelina, Fred, George, Seamus, Lee were present even Collin Creevey. But Travis wasn't there, she realized Travis has forgotten that it's her birthday today.

"Surprise!!" shouted all the people.

"Happy Birthday, Hermione" Ron said, gave her a gift, and hugged her.

"Happy Birthday, Herm," Harry said, handing her a small gift.

Then Neville, Angelina and all the other people in their common room.

"Wow, guys! This is too much." She said tearfully. "That's really nice of you, but I wonder where Travis is,"

"You'll see," they all said at the same time.
