Chapter 6
I didn't want to do anything today. My mind was blurred and my heart was thumping so fast, I couldn't keep my mind straight.
"Ms.Granger!" a voice shouted and I nearly fell off my armchair by surprise.
"What?" I looked around my kitchen for the speaker and Millicent was standing in the door way.
"Millicent! What a pleasant surprise!" I gasped "What are you doing here?"
"You have a meeting,Ms." She directed instantly "Do you remember?"
"A meeting?" Hell!
"Now! Don't you remember, miss?"
I grabbed my cloak and quickly reached under the table for my shoes "Oh,God! I've totally forgotten! Oh,hell…."
"You're late for half an hour,miss granger."
"Hell,no…" I breathed and waved my wand. The bottles of butter beer on the kitchen table vanished.
How could I forget? How could I be so stupid? I should've remembered! "Hell…"
"Hell?" Millicent looked at me surprisingly
I grabbed my apartment keys "What?"
"You…cursed" she stammered "I've never knew people like you curse"
"No people would guess. I have many secrets" I answered "What are we standing here discussing these things for? WE must hurry!"
"You're right,miss" panted Millicent
"Anyway, how did you come in?"
"The door was open,miss"
Stupid me!
"Comeon" I grabbed her arm and pulled her outside. I locked the door and pocketed the keys. We Apparated immediately
"Miss Granger!" The harsh voice of Lancester Pompouster greeted me as Millicent and I Dissaparated in the crowded meeting room. I stared at the Owner of the daily prophet in surprise
"Sir…" I stammered "I didn't know you would be here too"
"If you knew, perhaps you will arrive on time, miss granger" said Lancester in his casual but strict voice
"I'm very sorry,sir" sad I "I was held up"
"If this happens again, punishments must be precede, miss" said Lancester "WE are already so late already. Sit, miss"
I sat down on an arm chair and faced Lancester and his crew
"What articles are you writing now, miss Granger?" asked Lancester
As I started to tell them about my article on t Malfoy's company, my mind drifted. I thought of the fight I had with Malfoy and all the insults he threw on me and about Ron
I didn't even know when the meeting ended. I realized it was over when Millicent took me by the elbow and led me out of the room
"Miss, are you alright?" she asked me
"I…I'm ok" I answered. My voice was totally blank and dry
"Do you want a cup of coffee , miss?"
"Oh…Thank you, Millicent. But, I am thinking of going back home now. See you"
"See you at work, miss"
"thanks for everything"
As I headed down the road, I though of everything slowly. Things must be sorted. I couldn't do anything now. All I saw was the face of Ron and his voice saying "I don't want you to get hurt"
Did he really mean it? Did he? It was four years now. Ronald Weasly had never shown any emotional feelings at all. I was beginning to think that the past four years mean nothing!
If he really means what he had said, then why didn't he ask me to marry him ?
I must know! I must know at once that what he spoken yesterday was true or not!
I unlocked my apartment door and marched in to my bedroom. My tawny owl, Jewel, was locked up in her cage and was snoozing peacefully
I rummaged inside a drawer and pulled out a piece of parchment and a quill
Dear Ron
I need to talk to you. It's urgent. Meet me tonight. 7.00 pm my apartment,
Love
Hermione
I reread it and hoped with all my heart that it wasn't too forceful and too dry.
I reached into Jewel's cage and poke her awoke. "Jewel… I need you to deliver a letter for me"
She looked at me reproachfully but allowed me to tied a letter to her leg
I stroked her head "I need you to take this to Ron and quick" I carried her to my open window. She flew away into the bright sky and after a while, disappeared
I sighed "Hope he will come"
"Hermione? Hermione!"
I jerked awake from my sleep and sprinted to the hallway. I unlocked the door and swung it open. There, standing infront of me, was Ronald Weasly
"Ron, you've come!" I stammered
"Do you think I would not?" his voice was hard and hallow
"Ron, do you take our row this afternoon seriously?" the words escaped my lips in a rush
"I…Hermione,the row was serious. Malfoy could've…." His voice trailed off and he stared blankly at me.
I bit my lips and opened the door a little wider "We better discuss this inside. Come in"
And he brushed past me without a word…
