a/n: Okay peeps, here's the next one! Well, the first chapter anyway. Here goes!
Our story begins on a windy, September day beside Hogwarts' lake, where Hermione Granger was taking a walk. She was tall and slim, with long honey brown hair. Her brown eyes gazed at the lake dreamily. She was jerked from her daydream when someone's hand descended upon her shoulder painfully. Another hand grabbed her wrist and wrenched her around.
"Pansy! What are you doing?!" Hermione fought her off.
"Getting rid of the school's Mudblood problem," Pansy answered, her pug-like face twisted into a small smile. Pansy whipped out her wand. "Petrificus Totalis!" Hermione's eyes widened with shock as her body went rigid and she teetered dangerously. "Oculus Impreo!" A black shadow emerged from Pansy's wand and covered Hermione's eyes. She blinked but still couldn't see. She started to panic. "Aw...is the poor little Mudblood helpless with out her boyfriends?" She laughed. "Bye!" Hermione was pushed off of her feet.
There was a splash as Hermione hit the water. Although unable to see, she could feel herself sinking. Hermione swung her head to her right and met a rock wall. Her head throbbed terribly. She stilled, but she started thrashing again when her back hit a ledge in the rock.
Faintly, she heard a cracking noise. Thinking it was the ledge she had landed on, Hermione froze. That was a mistake. Something extremely heavy fell onto Hermione's ankles. She opened her mouth in surprise. Water gushed into her lungs. Hermione's struggling got feebler. She prayed someone would find her. 'This is it,' Hermione thought. 'I'm going to die. No one saw me fall in. Looks like Pansy did her job.'
Suddenly, the weight on her legs vanished. Someone, or something, picked her up carefully. He started upward. Unfortunately for Hermione, that was when she passed out from lack of air.

'Oh man, my head hurts.' Hermione let her head roll onto its side and she winced slightly at the pain it brought her. She opened her eyes slowly and blinked. 'Hey! Where am I?' Hermione wondered as she tried to let her eyes focus. "Huh? I can...I can see again!"
"Of course you can. It was not a permanent spell after all!" Hermione turned her head to her other side and saw Madam Pomfrey standing beside her bed, inspecting a strangely shaped package. "Something from one of your friends. Just checking to see that it's not dangerous. You know, it is strange how quickly people find out when someone is in the hospital wing. You've only been here four hours and all these things start appearing. I've had at least ten house elves in here today." Madam Pomfrey sat the item down and walked over to a cabinet. She came back to Hermione and ordered her to take the medicine. Hermione did so. Hermione started looking through her cards and gifts. Soon, her eyes fell upon a beautiful vase full of fresh, red roses.
"Ah, yes...I figured they would catch your eye," Madam Pomfrey said, noticing that Hermione wasn't listening. She picked the vase up and set it down on the table beside Hermione's bed. "Beautiful, aren't they?"
Hermione nodded. "Where did they come from? Who brought them here?"
"I'm sorry dear. He asked me not to reveal his name, just to give you this." Madam Pomfrey handed her s folded piece of paper. Hermione opened it curiously.
Dear Hermione,
Greetings, I hope you are doing better. That was quite a nasty fall you took. Rest assured, Pansy will be dealt with. I can not take much more of her senseless bragging. Now, let me take a moment to apologize. You will understand later why I feel I must do this. Please, accept these roses as a gift. I have placed an everlasting charm on them so, they will not die. I hope you like them. I'll be seeing you, but you won't see me.
Sincerely,
Invisible Man
P.S. - Be careful around Pansy from now on. She might be a bit upset when you come back to class.
"Well?" Madam Pomfrey asked when Hermione looked up from the paper. "Does it say who it's from?"
"No; it says it's form the 'Invisible Man'."
"Invisible Man? That doesn't sound right, does it? Maybe this..." Madam Pomfrey took a quill from a drawer and added something to the note. "There, Invisible Hero!"
"Much better. I wonder though...Why doesn't he want me to know who he really is?"
"Maybe he doesn't want to be praised for rescuing you or, maybe he just wants to hear you ask him." Madam Pomfrey looked around the wing, avoiding Hermione's eyes. "Now, let me get you someone to help you take your gifts to your room."
"Thank you."

"Hermione, you look a lot better!" Ron bolted upright in his chair.
"You scared us pretty bad," Harry said as Hermione came into the common room, followed by three house elves. Two of them were laden down with numerous gifts. The last elf, Dobby, carried the vase that held the roses. A few girls around the room looked at them in admiration. "I'm glad you're better."
"Me too. Listen, I'm going to go to bed. I need it to catch up on all my work. G'night." Hermione ran up to her dorm and soon three girls followed her.
"Oh, Hermione!" Lavender shrieked and Hermione jumped.
"Lavender, don't do that!" Hermione sank onto her bed.
"Sorry..." Lavender sat on her own bed, across from Hermione.
"Where did you get them?" Ginny asked as she sat down beside her.
"Wha- Oh, the flowers. They're from...a friend."
"Aw, come on, you can tell us!" Parvati went over to examine them more closely.
"Please?" All three girls pouted.
"I can't; he didn't leave his real name. I only know that I owe him my life." The other girls looked shocked.
"Y-you mean that the one who gave you these," Ginny pointed at the roses, "saved you from the lake?" She pointed out of the window across the room where the edge of the lake was visible.
"Sure did."
"Wow," Lavender whispered.
"That is so romantic!" Parvati sighed.
"What?"
"Well, it is! I mean, he saved you from the lake, he gave you roses, and he's keeping his name a secret."
"Whatever," Hermione sighed as she prepared herself for bed.
I know that it's short but I couldn't help it! Let me know if you like it! (That means REVIEW people!)
