I need to tell him. He deserves to know. But how? I can't believe I, Hermione Granger, am in love with 'the famous' Harry Potter. How to tell him? Love letters? Give him hints. I need some help. Ginny, Ron's youngest and only sister. I know I can trust her. She's my only hope.
"Hey Ginny," I said walking into the girl's dormitories. "Can I tell you something?"
"Yeah, sure." Ginny said. "What's up?"
"Well, it's about Harry. I – "
"You like him don't you?"
"Yes, but – "
"No buts, you gotta tell him!"
"I know, that's where I need your help. I was thinking of writing love letters to him, but instead of it being from me -"
"Don't make it from me!"
"No, no I won't. I was thinking from a secret admirer. Then give him hints of who the admirer is by each letter."
"Good idea. What do you want me to do?"
"Give Harry this letter." I said handing Ginny the letter. She fingered it questionably and finally asked, "May I read it?"
"Yes, but don't tell anyone I wrote it." I said handing Ginny the note.
She read it and it put a smile on her face. "Ok, I'll give this to Harry, right now."
"Thanks."
Ginny headed off to breakfast with the letter in her robe pocket next to her wand. On her way there, she snickered to herself, "I can't believe Hermione of all people would like Harry! Sure, I thought he was cute when we first met him - although... I still kinda do." Ginny walked into the Great Hall and spotted Harry and her older brother, Ron, at the far end of the Gryffindor Table. "Hey," she said as she sat down.
"Oh, hey," Harry and Ron said together.
"Where's 'Mione?" Harry asked.
"She's getting her stuff ready for her Defense Against the Dark Arts class. Oh, I have something to give you, Harry" Ginny lied/said.
"Uh, ok." Ginny gave Harry the letter. Harry opened and read it out loud to Ron.
"Dear Harry,
I've liked you for the past few years now. You always brightened up my day. When I needed you, you were always by my side. I will let you know who I am when the time is right. Please write back and give it to Ginny.
Love you,
Your Secret Admirer
P.S. Ginny is NOT the Secret Admirer."
"That looks a lot like Hermione's handwriting!" Ron said holding the letter. "Ginny, did you make Hermione write this for you."
"Of course not! I'm so over Harry."
"Thanks, Ginny." Harry said rolling his eyes. Harry headed off to Quidditch Pitch for practice. When practice was done, Harry headed to the boy dormitories to change and write back to his secret admirer. He reread the letter over and over again. He knew exactly what to write.
Dear My Secret Admirer,
It's nice to know that someone likes me for a change. I don't know who you are, but I wish to know. We should meet sometime. You can pick the place and I'll pick the time. You know what I look like, so you'll have to tell me what you're going to wear when we meet. I have two suspicions on who you are. I want to see if one of them is right. Do I know you or have I at least seen you before? Please give me some hints on who you are in your next letter. Thanks!
From,
Harry
Harry put the letter in an envelope and headed to the Gryffindor common room. He found Ginny lounging on the couch reading Hogwarts A History with Hermione by her side.
"Hey, how's it going?" Harry asked handing Ginny the letter.
"Good. Thanks Harry." Ginny said. "Can I read it?"
"It's up to the admirer." Harry said looking at Hermione with a twinkle in his eye.
As Harry left, Ginny trailed him to make sure he was gone. After a couple of seconds, Ginny walked back to the couch and handed the letter to Hermione. Hermione opened it and read it silently as Ginny read it over her shoulder, 'Wow, how sweet!' they both thought. Hermione headed up to the girl's dormitories to write back to Harry. This time, Hermione didn't write in her usual handwriting. She wrote differently.
"Dear Harry,
We can meet at Hogsmeade at the Three Broomsticks Store this weekend. I'll be wearing jeans and a red and yellow shirt. Some hints of who I am are: I'm in the same year as you (6th year), you have seen me before and you do know me. I love you, Harry. You don't know how much I love you. Please write back. Let me know what time you want to meet.
Love always,
Your admirer "
"Wow," Ron said. "This girl really likes you and what messy handwriting!"
"I can tell. She wrote differently than last time." Harry said excitedly. "Do you have a quill I can borrow? I'll write back right now."
"Yeah, sure, mate. Here you go." Ron handed Harry his quill. Harry started writing back. He finished writing back and found Ginny in the Library and handed her the response letter. Hermione was looking for a book that she had read at least fifteen times. She said hi to Harry and walked over to Ginny so she could read Harry's response. Ginny handed her the letter. It read:
Dear Admirer,
We can meet at the Three Broomsticks at 12:30. Meet me at the window where the Nimbus 2009 is being displayed. Can you tell me your last name and/or a hobby? Do you know Hermione Granger? She's a real bookworm, but I like that about her. That's what makes her unique. Please write back with more hints. I look forward to seeing you.
Love,
Harry
"What and idiot!" Ginny said.
"Why's that?" Hermione asked with a smile on her face.
"Well, he writes that he likes you, but he doesn't know who the admirer is. It could be someone from the Slytherin House for all he knows! Stupid!"
"Well, the admirer isn't from the Slytherin House, Ginny. I'm going to write back to him." Hermione started writing back to Harry straight away.
My Dearest Harry,
I'm looking forward to seeing you this weekend. I can't tell you my last name; it will give away who I am. I can't tell you my hobby either 'cause, you guessed it, it will also give away who I am. I do know Hermione. I'm one of her good friends.
Love you lots,
Her (A/N: Hermione almost wrote her name; but crossed it out)
Your Secret Admirer"Here, Ginny, give this to Harry, please." Hermione said.
"You wish is my command, oh great one." Ginny joked. Ginny headed to find Harry. She found him by the bookshelves close to where they were sitting.
"Oh, uh, hi Harry. Here's your response letter." Ginny said and then walked back to Hermione.
"I'm not an idiot." Harry mumbled under his breath. He then realized who the secret admirer was (he saw her writing back through the bookshelves). It was...
Hermione.
