Chapter Three:
Hermione and Harry had just left Dumbledore's office and were lucky enough that he completely understood. He had granted them a time turner and wished them luck on no one finding out.
"Well that was easy enough..." I just hope Snape doesn't notice or else he'll torment us beyond belief…" Hermione mumbled to herself forgetting she had Harry right there to talk to also.
"Hermione?" Harry tried to ask quietly but Hermione didn't hear him, lost in her own thoughts. "Um Hermione…?" Harry said getting more urgent, but once again Hermione was to preoccupied. "Hermione!" Harry yelled getting fed up.
"What is it Harry, I'm trying to think." Hermione replied flustered.
"Malfoy is heading down this hallway. Into that room, now!" Harry said and pushed Hermione into a nearby room, or what he thought was a room, it turned out to be a broom closet.
"Brilliant, now we're in a closet with Malfoy just outside… Oh what if he finds us?" Hermione began to panic, her voice rising.
"Goyle, shut up for a bloody second. I think I hear something." Harry heard Malfoy silence Goyle and began to get scared him and Hermione would be found. "Is something in that closet…?"
Harry felt his face get flushed and began to sweat like mad. If Malfoy found them he'd tell everyone they were stuck together and think it was of their own choice. Then everyone would assume they were dating again. He could go through what happened in fourth year again. And he knew Hermione couldn't.
Suddenly Harry heard Malfoy make a sudden movement and felt the floor shake beneath him.
"Hey, Draco!" Harry heard Crabbe yell and felt relived, perhaps this would save them. "You gotta see this! No time to explain, come quickly!" Crabbe yelled and the heard Malfoy and Goyle scurry after him.
Harry and Hermione let out a breath of relief and moved to leave the closet. After a few minutes of fumbling around in the dark they got out and felt cool air on their skin.
"That was close." Hermione said finally and Harry nodded. Hermione finally realized that her and Harry were standing centimeters away from each other and she was blushing profusely. She quickly cleared her throat and turned away. "We should go eat something now…"
Harry and Hermione realized they had come just in the middle of lunch when they entered the Great Hall and tried their best to look as far apart from each other without showing the handcuffs off. The casually sat down and were just about to eat when a note folded tightly was thrown in Harry's lap. It had For Your Eyes Only written on it several times and Harry was curious as to who wrote it.
Hermione looked over and saw the note. "You should read that incase it's something that is urgent, I won't look."
Harry unfolded it and looked briefly at the neat handwriting, each 'I' dotted with a heart.
Harry,
I can't stop thinking about you. Please, please meet me at the lake tonight at 12 o'clock. Come alone. I love you. I need another chance.
Cho.
Harry stared in disbelief at the paper for a few seconds before folding it up again and sticking it in his pocket. He handed it over to Hermione whom read it over quickly and handed it back.
"I'll use the invisibility cloak and you can seem like you're alone. You can say whatever you need to then. I hope it goes how you want it to." Hermione said and continued to nibble on her toast.
"The thing is, I don't know how I want it to turn out." Harry said looking at his cereal with a sad look on his face. Not knowing the at this moment Cho Chang was looking at him with a look of extreme desperation on her face.
AN: I have to leave it here because I have exams to study for… See you next chapter!
