A/N: Thanks for hanging in here! I'm so psyched for this CH. I'm not sure if all the font will work like I want it to but if it does then italicized font is a thought.

Hermonie awoke to the sound of an owl rapping at her window. She groggily stumbled over to the window and oppenned it to reveal and unfamiliar scruffy owl with a note attached to it's leg. Immediatly the bird rushed in and perched on Hermonie's desk and began pruning itself. Hermonie rubbed her eyes and then checked her clock as she reached for the owl treats which she kept for Pig and Hedwig. Once the strange owl devoured the note she untied as she thought It's 2 45 in the morning, there's a strange owl perched on my desk with a note, why am I reading this now? Why don't I leave it until I officilally wake up at 7 00?But then she thought again when she had crawled into bed...What if it's urgent? What if the bird doesn't let me go to sleep until I reply? I better get up and at least see who it's from...

font face"impact">Dearest Hermonie,

I have not talked to you in a while but you're constantly on my mind. Currently I'm traveling and soon I shall be near Hogwarts. I was hoping you might be able to meet me at the Three Broomsticks this weekend. Please send a response back with my owl. Her name is Chyna. I'm anxiously awaiting your response.

Love,

Viktor Krum /font>

Well, the certainly wasn't what Hermonie had expected...but then again she didn't expect to get an owl at 3 in the morning either. Hermonie had spent the vast majority of her summer thinking about Viktor and although she hated to admit it she was ecstatic to recieve an owl from him. She was so excited to hear from Viktor that she couldn't sleep. she tried everything but she didn't find rest until 6 45, and she had to be up at 7. She woke up at 7 15 and immediatly wrote a quick response, she was finishing up just as Ginny burst in. Oh no! Hermonie thought, I was supposed to meet Ginny in the common room about 5 minutes ago so we could walk to the Great Hall together. I'm ont ready yet, I havent' even taken my shower, let alone...

"There you are!" Ginny exclaimed. "I was worried that you would have left without me!"

"Sorry, I've been replying to an owl I recieved earlier. I still have to take my shower, as you can see I'm still have my pajamas on so I obviously haven't left without you, I'll be right back." And with that Hermonie rushed off to take a lightening fast shower and get dressed in a record fast 13 minutes, not more than a minute later they were on their way to the Great Hall for breakfast. On the way Hermonie showed Ginny the owl she had gotten from Krum earlier that morning and explained the rest of her story, which included the bags under her eyes. Hermonie and Ginny were both soo engrossed in the story that neither of them noticed the suspicious creature watching them from the shadows...

Once in the Great Hall, the discussion stopped and Hermonie's focus had turned to a different subject, Harry and Ron. To her dismay the two best friends who had always been there for her were focusing on two toher subjects, Harry's focus continually drifted over to his old flame, Cho Chang, while Ron just stared and drooled over Luna Lovegood. Harry was trying his hardest to focus on his girlfriend but something about Cho had been so mesmerizing lately he couldn't help but stare. Hermonie wasn't totally shocked butthat didn't mean it didn't hurt. She tollerated his wandering eyes but if it continued she thought she might have to dump Harry and yoyo back to Viktor.

A/N: it's done...but the font doesn't look like I want it to. anyone who knows how to do font style codes should let me know. Thanks to all my loving, devoted readers! Read and review!
