Hey everyone, thankyou to all of you who reviewed. And I think i'm going to be nice and tell you who this hooded figure is in this chapter. But remember that I will only update if I get atleast 5 reviews. So if you want to see this story live, review, review, review! And i'm very very sorry that it took me so long to get this going again. I went out of town and got a new job so things have just been alittle crazy. And I promise that I will try and update at least twice a week. Now on with the story. I hope I can remember this.

Disclaimer: Ok if I did own Harry Potter and the other characters (which I don't!) I so would not be writing online. I would be wirting a freaking book!

It really isn't "Goodbye"after all

Chapter 7: Hermione and Matt, Part:2

Hermione was in her room gettting ready. She had come back from her afternoon with Matt and felt very tired so she decided to take a nap. She woke up at 7:30 and was now rushing around with only a towel on and scattering make-up all over the floor as she desperately tired to find the right eyeshadow.

She was just putting the finishing touches on her mascara when someone knocked on her door. She crossed the huge hotel room to the door. She then opened the door to a very handsome looking Matt holding white roses.

"Ready to go?" He asked holding out is arm like he did when they were in the barber shop.

"Yes",she said grabbing her purse and taking his arm as they left her hotel room.

Hermione didn't know what was planned for their big night out on the town, but rest assured she wouldn't remember a thing that did happen tomarrow.

They arrived 30 minutes later in front of one of the fanciest resturants Hermione had ever seen. Matt took her right arm and helped her out of the passengers side of the car. Matt offered his right arm to her and once she took it Matt handed his keys to the valet and they walked inside.

Once they were inside Hermione gasped. This was even better than the front of the resturant.

"Matt, this is so amazing. You didn't have to do all of this just for me." Hermione said trying to hold back her desire to run up to the glass covered bookcase that sat in a corner behind the counter.

"Ya, I know but I just think that you ought to have atleast one good night while youre in New York." Matt said while they walked up to give the waitress-man his reservation. "And besides your worth it."

Hermione just looked at him in surprise as Matt gave the waitress-man their reservation. She couldn't believe that someone actually cared for her this much. Then her mind suddenly flashed to the last time that she saw Harry on the platform. They had shared something really special, but that was all over. Harry was involved with someone else from Hogwarts as far as she knew. He had only sent her a couple of letters over the past couple weeks but other than that, nothing. And his letters were short and to the point. They said things like:

Hermione,

Sorry about what happened on the platform. Can we just be friends? I met this girl from Beauxboxs. She'll be transfering over to Hogwarts this year. Can't wait for you two to met.

Harry

That was all she got. She didn't know why but she just had this sudden urge to just hurt him. Hurt him emotionally. She wanted him to suffer. Suffer like she did when she read those heartbreaking letters that he had written to her only days after their kiss. She suffered, but now she was over Harry Potter. She didn't want to think about him any more. She didn't want to think about what their first meeting would be like or even if their friendship would last. She couldn't bear to think that Harry Potter was with someone. And that someone wasn't her.

Hermione wasn't even aware of the fact that her and Matt were now sitting at their table and the waiter was waiting for them to order.

"Hermione?" Matt asked looking at her.

"Ya?" she said kind of dazed.

"Are you ready to order?"He asked

"Umm...ya...sure... I would like the, uh... crab and lettuce." she said not even looking at her menu. ( sorry i don't know what you would order at a fancy resturant.)

" I'll have the same." Matt said taking Hermione's menu out of her hands and handing it to the waiter.

After the waiter was out of ear shot Matt turned to Hermione and said, "So was it just me or were you spacing out?"

"Sorry, I had something on my mind." Hermione said not wanting Matt to know what it was.

"So, are you going to tell me then?" He asked.

"Well..." she said REALLY not wanting to tell him. But she just couldn't keep her eyes off him. "I was just thinking about something that happened right before I came to America."

"Oh, well what was it, was it bad?" he asked looking alittle worried.

"Oh, no not really. It was just about this guy that i used to be firends with. It didn't end very well." Hermione said as she looked down trying to keep Matt from seeing a single tear drop down her cheek.

"Hermione, if it was something that serious with this guy then you shouldn't have come, I mean if you still have feelings for him then there must be something still there." Matt said already seeing Hermione's tear drop down her cheek.

"No Matt, its not serious, not anymore, and besides, I like you and I wanted to get to know you better." Hermione said looking up and wiping away the tear.

"Well, i'm glad because I like you too." He said.

And after he said this he leaned over their small table and kissed her right on the...cheek. He sat back down and looked at Hermione looking at him with another dazed look on her face.

"Sorry, I just think that we should take it slow." He said in a kind of embarassed way.

"Thats fine, personally I thought that you were going to maul me in front of all these people." she said smiling.

Matt just sat there and smiled. Suddenly, it seemed out of nowhere. Their waiter brought their food and drinks. He sat the drinks and food down and left without a word. And then, it almost seemed magical, Hermione's fork dropped out of her hand and she bent down to pick it up.

Matt took this as the perfect opportunity and slipped the tiny pill into Hermione's water and it dissolved instantly.

When she finally came back up he just smiled and said cheers as they clanked their glasses together and dug in.

Hermione and Matt arrived at her hotel room about 2 hours later. Hermione said that she wasn't feeling very good and asked Matt to take her back to the hotel. He seemed too overjoyed by Hermione's sudden sickness.

Once they were back in Hermione's room she couldn't even remember where they were at, who Matt was or even who she was.

The rest of the night was something that Hermione wouldn't ever remember. Or so you would think.

Sorry its been taking me so long to update but i've been getting some serious writer's block. And sorry for the suckie ending. Please go easy on me.
