Hermiones POV

"What was that all about?" Harry asked as we walked the halls back to the common room.

"I don't know, I'm just glad were not in trouble. Not even a detention." I said.

Yeah, and you are so lucky about that Hermione."

"I wonder why he asked about Buckbeak?" I mused.

"I don't know."

"I think we should go to the library, you know to try and find a connection." I said. We walked through the corridors and had just reached the library doors when ginny walked up to us looking very confused. "I just saw Dumbledore. He said to tell you that you can tell people." She said.

"Tell people what?" Harry asked.

"I don't know. He didn't say."

"Harry…" I said, and looked at him. Understanding dawned in his eyes.

"Ohhh… Thanks ginny." He smiled.

"No problem." She said, looking more confused than ever. "I got to go." She walked away. I turned to Harry.

"This is so cool, Harry!"

"I can't wait to see the look on Malfoys face when he finds out."

"Harry!"

"Or rons for that matter. Or anyone."

"Well… they better not go trying it themselves."

"They wont. I hate to think what their punishment would be if they tried." We walked towards the section on mystical creatures. I pulled out a book devoted entirely to Hippogriffs. Harry pulled out a different book. I flipped through my book until my eye caught on one paragraph in particular. 'The Hippogriff was a symbol of love in Greek mythology. It was thought that when two people were able to ride on one simultaneously, they were destined to be soul mates.'

"Harry… This must be what Dumbledore was talking about." I whispered. Harry looked over my shoulder to read the section. His eyes widened.

"You don't think…"

"No Harry. Its just a coincidence."

"Yeah, and the fact that this book says its way easier to transform into an Enchantra when you're with your true love is just a coincidence too right?"

"I…yes, of course." I said. Harry sighed and put our books back.

"Come on, we still have the exciting job of telling everyone."

I smiled. "Right." We took off to the common room, bumping ron and ginny at the door.

"Hey, did you hear about the ball they're going to have for Christmas?" ron asked.

"It's going to be muggle old-fashioned, like taffeta ball gowns and dainty gloves and tuxes!" ginny added. I glanced at Harry. He shrugged, smiling.

"Would you like to go with me, Hermione?"

"Oh, of course!" I said with a smile.

"Uh, you two do realize this is going to give Rita Skeeter the chance to write another article about you, don't you?" ron asked as ginny raised her eyebrows.

"Well live." Harry said, and put an arm around my shoulders. Again, I noticed how, even in heels, I only came up to his eyes. I couldn't help looking forward to the ball. I already knew what to wear.
