zenni- The meeting doesn't have much to it. Sorry...Hope you like it anyway.

Somewhere, a clock struck 10 o'clock. "Oh no, I'm going to be late!" Hermione muttered as she ran down to the common room.
"Hey, where are you going?" Ron asked.
"Kitchens," Hermione said," I hope he's not mad at me." She muttered to herself as she went to the portrait hole.
"Wait, Hermione," Harry yelled from the top of the stairs. He sprinted down them quickly. "Take this." He handed her a bundle of silver. He winked.
"Thanks, Harry, see ya later!" Hermione ran out of the common room and threw the cloak over her. As Hermione neared the Astronomy Tower, jumping at the sight of every shadow, she heard a voice. It was the same voice and the same song she had heard before. It was coming from the tower. She stopped outside the door.

If I was invisible Then I could just watch you in your room If I was invincible I'd make you mine tonight If hearts were unbreakable Then I could just tell you where I stand I would be the smartest man If I was invisible (Wait...I already am)

It faded away slowly. Hermione pulled off the invisibility cloak and edged the door open. She stepped inside and looked around. No one was in the tower. She walked to the window and looked out.
"I wasn't sure if you would come," a voice said. Hermione started and looked around. Still, no one was there.
"Where are you?"
"Right here." A dark figure emerged in front of her. Whoever it was had on a black cloak that hid his face.
"Why, did you think I wouldn't come?" The person in front of her shrugged.
"I bet you have questions for me; don't you?"
Hermione nodded. "Why do you think I brought you here?" he shrugged again.
"Well, go ahead."
"Oh right." Hermione shook her head. "Why, are you so determined to keep your name a secret from me?"
"Some things are better left unsaid, for the moment at least, and my name is one of those things."
"You're a bit too mysterious, if you ask me."
"But I didn't." Hermione laughed softly.
"Very true. I just always have to state my opinion even when it's not wanted." This time he laughed.
"You are something, Hermione. A puzzle, but all the while a masterpiece. Such a trouble maker too, for me anyway." He laughed again. "Don't get me wrong though! I kinda like following you around all the time." He leaned against the wall. "Do you have any more questions? Don't expect too many to be answered thought."
"I figured that already. You went through so much trouble to make sure I don't know who you are. Why would you just tell me straight out?" he listened to her in silence. "Can you tell me why you have been doing so much for me?"
"I-I can't answer that either. I'm sorry. Anything else?"
"No...Nothing, except to say thank you," Hermione mumbled. She turned to look at him, not realizing that she had looked away. "Thank you for everything. You've done so much. A bit too much."
"Again, I didn't ask you." Hermione rolled her eyes. "It's getting late and Filch will be by here for his nightly rounds and time now."
"How do you know that?"
"I spend a lot of my free time here. I have no where else to go." Hermione didn't ask any further. At least her night hadn't been completely wasted.
"You're right about it getting late. I've never been out this late without Harry and Ron. They could get mad."
"They'll be fine once you get back. Ladies first." He held the door open.
"Thanks, will I still not be seeing you?"
"No, but I'll see you. Keep in touch." Hermione walked out the door and threw the invisibility cloak over her. "Until next time." He disappeared too.

Hermione entered the Great Hall and sat down between Harry and Ron. They both gave her a sideways glance. "What now? Am I not allowed to eat in peace?" They shook their heads. "Then stop looking at me like that!"
"Sorry..." They mumbled. Hermione sighed and started eating. She was still mad at Harry and Ron for the night a few weeks ago. They had stayed up to meet her after her meeting with the Invisible Hero. They had ended the night with a row. They finally had reached an unspoken agreement but they were still not on good speaking terms, not yet anyway.
When the mail came Hermione saw Harry look up expectantly. "Hey, look!" Neville pointed at one owl. Hermione looked up and spotted a tawny owl with a blue rose and note in its beak fluttering down to the Gryffindor table. She was surprised when it landed in front of her. After the rose was safe, out of its beak, the owl fluttered off.
"Who gave you that?" Ron gaped as the note was detached from the rose.
"Can anyone spell secret admirer?" Ginny asked from across the table.

"As if! Everyone would know if Hermione has a secret admirer!" Ron and Harry laughed.
"Alright, alright, who's it from, Hermione?" Ginny ignored Harry's snickering.
"Just a friend," Hermione muttered while looking around. The other Gryffindors just gave her a questioning look and went back to eating.

Sorry about the short chapter. At least I got one up.

"Hear you deaf; look, you blind, and see! Who is blind but my servant, and deaf like the messenger I send? Who is blind like the one committed to me, blind like the servant of the Lord?"
