Chapter 2- Secret Meetings

"You know, you really should clean that egg, Ron," said Hermione."All that make-up Parvati

put on it will bring your grade down."

They were walking on their way to breakfast on Saturday, when they heard a scream. It seemed that Seamus had scared Lavender by popping out of nowhere, that she had dropped the egg.

"SEAMUS! NOW WE ARE GOING TO GET A D! YOU STUPID GIT!"

And when she said that she gave him a rough slap on the face and ran away.

Later that day....

In the corner of a noisy common room, Hermione and Harry watched their egg very closely while doing other homework. Harry had tried to hold hands with Hermione, but she moved her hand at the last minute and put it under her chin to keep it up.

"You know, I picked that egg for a reason. A very good one too." said Harry.

"Oh yeah, what is this reason?"

"The color reminded me of your eyes," answered Harry, blushing.

"Well thank you, Harry. This reminds me of your eyes too, with the dots on it." She was blushing too.

Hermione was leaning in for a kiss, and so was Harry, until Ron popped out of nowhere.

"GUESS WHAT!" said Ron.

"What?" said Hermione and Harry at the same time.

"I got an A on my Defense Against The Dark Arts essay!" said Ron, amazed.

"That's nice, Ronald." said Hermione, getting up and leaving.

"What's up with her?"

Harry told Ron what he was about to do ("oh sorry mate!") while Harry looked at
DADA essay that also had a large green A on it.

Today the class had to show Professor Grubbly-Plank their eggs.

"Mr. Finnigan, Miss Brown, explain yourselves!" Seamus told her what happened and how the egg got smashed. They had tried to get another egg from the bowl, but none looked like the one they had at first. "Well, D's for both of you!"

"Again, Well done, Potter and Granger. WEASLEY AND PATIL! WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO YOUR EGG!?! TEN POINTS FROM GRYFFINDOR!"

Still Regina was crying about being partners with Neville and the egg, because the people who broke eggs where suppose to be cleaning out the stalls of all of Hagrid's wild and crazy creatures. No wonder she was crying. The stalls were disgusting.

During dinner time...

"Everyone!" shouted Professor Dumbledore," I have news for all of you. In two weeks, we will be holding a Christmas dance for all of you staying at Hogwarts. Now this is a dance, so you must have partners. This is only for 5th years and up. Now enjoy the rest of your dinner."

When Dumbledore said this, Parvati and Lavender giggled. Ron went over there and asked Parvati. She giggled more and said yes. Ron came back with a look of great achievement on his face.

"So, I guess your going out with Paravti now?" ask Harry.

"Yep. And I'm damn proud of it. Harry you better hurry up and ask someone. Remember the Yule ball?"

Harry had a flashback of when he had asked Cho Chang to go to the Yule ball with him two years ago. But she was already going with Cedric Diggory. He felt humiliated.

"Yeah, I don't want that to happen again. So, Hermione, who do you want to go with?" asked Harry.

"I don't really know yet."

::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

Hey Hermione,

Meet me in the library at 2 o'clock. I need to ask you something important. And please come alone.

Blake Conner

"Whose that from?" asked Harry, trying to grab it from her.

"It's Blake. He's in Ravenclaw. He used to be my partner during our Charms project. He wants to see me at 2 in the library. I wonder what he wants," said Hermione, confused.

"Can I come with you?" ask Harry

"No, he said to come alone. Oh it's 1:45. I should be leaving. Bye Harry!"

5 minutes later....

Harry told Ron all about the letter from Blake. He seemed pretty interested.

"Well, Mate, you know what to do now, don't you?"

"Umm no. Did I miss something?"

"Go with her! But the question is how...I got it!"

"INVISIBILITY CLOAK!" shouted Ron and Harry together.

::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

"Hi Blake!" said Hermione.

"Hey Hermione." Blake answered

"You said you wanted to see me"

Ron and Harry were standing there right behind Hermione listening very closely.

"Umm yes, I was wondering.... Would you like to go to the ball with me on Christmas?" asked Blake.

"Ummm...I'm sorry Blake. I kinda have another person in mind." answered Hermione, feeling very bad.

"Oh..Ok, well can you tell me who it is?"

"Ok, only if you don't tell anyone. Promise?"

"I Promise," answered Blake

"Well.... It's....

Blake stood there, staring at Hermione very strangly

"Its Harry. I'm waiting for him to ask me."

"Oh ok. Good luck with him then," and then he walked away.

LUNCHTIME

Ron and Harry were sitting on the Gryffindor table eating their lunch when Hermione walked in. She never found out about them hiding in the cloak while she was talking to Blake.

"So, what did Blake want?" ask Harry.

"Oh, he just wanted to ask me something," said Hermione, taking a sip of pumpkin juice.

"Did he ask you to go to the ball?" ask Ron.

Harry kicked him hard on the leg. Ron let out a small yelp and started rubbing his leg.

"Were you two in the library when he asked me?" asked Hermione.

"No."

"OK, I trust you." said Hermione, looking akwardly at the two of them.

Once they had all finished eating, they had started to walk back to the common room, until Ron chased after Parvati. "See you later!"

Now finally he and Hermione were alone. Harry felt this kind of joy in his heart because he knew that Hermione was just waiting for him to ask her to the ball. He didn't want to keep her waiting any longer. He waited for a few seconds and then popped the question.

"Umm Hermione, do you want to go to the ball with me?"

"Of course Harry!" she said, giving him a hug. He felt this kind of bomb go off inside of him. No word could explain the happiness of him. They walked back to the common room holding hands and smiling.
