Chapter 10: You make me smile
Hermione flopped down on the bench next to Ron and reached for her goblet of pumpkin juice.
"I think we did a really good job with decorations." She said looking up at the staff table.
Ron smiled at her. "We make a good team." He replied and grabbed a plate of sandwiches and offered her one. She took one, put it on her plate and turned to Harry.
"Which area did you do Harry?" she asked as she began to fill her plate with carrots. Harry pointed to the opposite side of the great hall.
"Yeah it was a pretty boring class but I suppose it'll be better then this afternoon. We have McGongall and Snape. You can count on them not caring that it's Valentine's day." Harry interjected as he passed the bowl of fruit.
"So Hermione heard anything more of your secret admirer?" Ginny asked taking the bowl from her boyfriend.
Hermione blushed a little. "Actually, yes. I've found two more notes from him." She said taking a bite of her carrots.
"Oooo... how cute is that? He must really like you, who ever he is. Do you have any idea who it could be?" Ginny asked picking up a grape with her fork.
Hermione shock her head. "No idea. For being so smart, I have no clue." she said.
Ginny looked at her with a sly eye. "How about someone you wish it was?" This caught Ron and Harry's attention and both of them watched her.
Hermione blushed pink. "Should I admit I might or keep it all a secret?" she asked herself. But she didn't have to speak, Ginny caught it the moment she blushed.
"You do!" She shrieked with glee. "Do tell Miss Granger." Hermione looked up in horror and quickly shook her head.
At that moment Ron dropped the bowl he was holding on to his plate. The attention was diverted from Hermione to him.
"Oh Ron you are such a big klutz." Ginny said carelessly. Ron turned red as he cleaned up the mess he had made. Hermione looked over at him and saw him curse under his breath. Suddenly her attention was taken from Ron.
"Hermione can you pass the potatoes please?" Harry asked. Hermione looked at him for a moment with a questioning look on her face. She had not heard what he had asked for.
"Potatoes please?" Harry repeated pointing at the bowl in front of her. Hermione shook the daze out of her head and lifted the bowl for him. "Thanks."
Seamus was the first to notice that the bowl had been hiding something. "Hey what's that? It's got your name on it Hermione." He said gesturing in the direction of the paper.
"It must be another note." Ginny said with excitement. "Open it!"
Hermione reached forward with all the eyes watching her movements. She opened the note and saw the scrawling writing that had been in the last three notes. She loved the handwriting for some reason. It told her something about the mystery man but she wasn't quite sure what.
Hermione,
You are the only one who can really make me smile...
Your Secret Admirer
Hermione blushed deep magenta. Ginny grinned brightly. "What's it say?" she asked leaning forward.
Hermione shook her head and put the note in her pocket. "No." Was all she said. And not matter how much Ginny pushed her she would not relent. She would keep this one to herself.
