"Cheer up, Hermione! You probably just misplaced it," Harry said as he entered the common room.
"Yeah, you'll find it," Ron yawned.
"You're right. See you tomorrow. G'night." Hermione climbed the stairs to her room, Ginny following her. Ginny turned into another room, yawning loudly. When Hermione entered the dorm she found Parvati and Lavender sitting on their beds. They were both staring at her bed. They looked away as she neared it.
There, lying on her pillow, was an envelope. A white rose was lying on top of it. Hermione picked it up and her eyes widened as she read the note.
Dear Hermione,
I am pleased to see you have not forgotten me since I wrote to you last. A friend informed me that you lost this. It was over by the greenhouses. Farewell (until next time). I'll be seeing you, but you won't see me.
Sincerely,
Invisible Hero
Hermione looked into the corner of the envelope and gasped. There was her necklace safely placed in the envelope. Hermione placed the white rose in the vase with the red roses.

Hermione yawned as she walked down into the common room. She hated it when she couldn't sleep. As she sat in the common room, she started hearing noises from the corridor. Curious, she got up and walked over to the portrait hole. She poked her head into the corridor and peered around. Making sure no one saw her, she slipped into the hall and started following the sound. It grew a bit louder each second. Finally, she heard it clearer than ever. She caught a few words.
"If I was-"
"I could-"
"If hearts-"
Whoever was creating the noise was singing, and well. The noise died down and Hermione thought she had lost the singer. Then, there were hurried footsteps and she saw the edge of a cloak whip around the corner ahead of her. Hermione ran to catch up, but when she turned the corner she found the corridor empty.
Hermione walked back to Gryffindor Tower in a slight daze. She had seen someone, but how had they disappeared like that? Hermione sat down on a couch when a voice came out of nowhere.
"Where have you been, Hermione?"
"Wha- Who's there?"
"It's just me," Madam Pomfrey came out of the shadows and sat beside Hermione.
"How did you-?"
"Get the password? I talked to Minerva and she agreed to give me the password if I told her who had rescued you."
"You what?"
"I'm sorry. I just...I get lonely in the hospital wing and I like talking to you."
"That's not my point! Why can you and McGonagall know and I can't?"
"Again, a question to ask him. He cares deeply for you. If he didn't he wouldn't have wasted his entire day looking for your necklace. He could have been sleeping, reading, doing his homework...instead, her chose to help you."
"What are you implying?"
"He loves you silly."
"No one can love me! They can't even, in the very least, like me that way."
"Why not?"
"I'm not...attractive!"
"That's a big lie! Okay, there are a couple Balls coming up, right?"
"Right."
"When it's time to find some dresses I'll go with you. Actually, we'll go earlier than everyone else. Then there will be more to chose from. Okay?
"O-okay."

"Oh man! Snape is going to kill me!" Hermione ran to the dungeons, hoping Snape wouldn't deduct 100 house points from Gryffindor. She stopped outside the door and took a short breather before stepping inside the classroom.
"Ah, Miss Granger, since you are late you will work with Mr. Malfoy. We are now working on the Polyjuice Potion. Ten points will also be taken from Gryffindor," Snape said. Hermione sighed as she took her seat beside Draco.
"As I was saying, you will all begin by reading the selected books on the Polyjuice Potion. I expect both partners to do some work. This means you go to the library at the same time and read out loud together. I want an essay on the Polyjuice Potion by next Monday from each pair. For the moment, you will talk with your partner. Plan some of your meetings and such." Snape turned to a pile of papers in front of him. "This is going to be a long month and a half," he muttered.
"So," Draco said and Hermione took one last glance at Harry and Ron, who were both very green by now, and turned to Draco. "This has to be done by Monday, right?" Hermione nodded.
"I am not doing all the work either, Malfoy."
"I didn't expect you to." He leaned back in his char. "We'll meet tonight at seven. Alright?"
"Yes."
*
"You're late," Hermione said, looking up at Draco.
"So I'm not perfect! Big deal!" Draco slumped in a chair. "Let's just get this over with."
"Over with? This particular potion takes a lot of research and takes almost a month to brew!"
"A month? How do you know that?"
"Uh...just read it somewhere."
"Uh huh...anyway, how many books do we have to read, Hermione?" Draco looked up at her when she didn't answer him. Hermione shook her head and looked down the list.
"Let's see...Oh great! This is going to take forever!"
"What is it?"
"We have to read about twenty books."
"TWENTY?!"
"Shush up! Madame Pince will get on us for being too loud, Draco."
"Too loud! I've never read that many books in my life! Let alone a week!"
"We better get started then, shouldn't we?" Draco nodded. Both of them knew that they had come to an agreement. The truce was made.
Yay! I'm getting a bit of it typed! Unfortunately for me it's getting finished at twelve in the morning, Oh well, I'll get over it. Please REVIEW!
I can do everything through Christ who gives me strength.
