"Oi! Hermione! Wait up!" April cried from the other end of corridor. Hermione smiled and waved. Harry and Ron looked puzzled.

"She is the new girl, April, Chris's cousin! Remember?" Hermione asked. Harry vaguely nodded. April smiled and hugged Hermione and left her with a stunned look on her face.

"Hermione, I need help with potions! Professor Snape is absolutely mean!" April yelled. Ron wrinkled his nose and Harry looked bored.

"Well, its free time now, lets go to the library and I'll help you with it!" Hermione said.

"WHAT! Hermione! We were going to see Hagrid! How can you forget!" Ron yelled. Hermione frowned. Harry was string at Hermione at disbelief.

"Well, why should I come? You anyway are going to ignore me!" Hermione screamed back. Everyone was looking at them. April's lip started quivering. She rushed towards the toilets. Hermione flashed an angry look at Ron and rushed after her.

"Can you believe her? I mean, we are her best friends! Hello!" Ron said angrily. Harry rolled his eyes and pulled Ron with him.

"April! Are you okay? Ron is such an idiot! Are you sure you okay?" Hermione fussed. April's red face appeared. Hermione smiled and walked towards her.

"I'm sorry about that! It was my fault!" April cried. Hermione laid a comforting hand on the sensitive girl.

"Trust me! Ron is an idiot! And besides, it's his fault! He could have at least been nice to you! That nerve of him," Hermione said with slit eyes. April laughed.

"If you say so 'mione! Let's go to the library! Hurry!" April said after drying her face. Hermione smiled vaguely and let April pull her out.

At the library, Hermione quizzed April and explained about all the things Snape had said monotonously. April was a patient student and learnt quickly and as Hermione discovered, she was quite smart and knew most of the things.

"Okay, so that's how it works, it's really easy, just like that!" Hermione said. April nodded.

"Here is the revision sheet that Snape gave us before you came, why don't you just do that WITHOUT my help?" Hermione said laughing. April nudged Hermione playfully and grinned.

While April was doing the worksheet, Hermione got out her diary and started writing.

Hey Diary,

Yesterday was the coolest day ever! Before I made Draco look fat (I'll tell you about it later!) I actually talked Mel! Yes! Mel! My best muggle friend ever! Like I said, a lot of things have changed ever since I started to talk to her over the net when I was in England. I mean, Mel and me are so unlike each other! She actually has helped me lighten up and have fun! Mel is funny and smart! Sure she giggles when we talk over the webcam, but I do that too now, I mean, I actually am more than a bookworm! No one has noticed my change though, I hoped Ron and Harry would but they are so…distracted and confused all the time by…Amelia! I mean, I'm supposed to be their best friend! Forget about them, that's what I keep telling myself, I am gonna hang out with Marcos, Chris and April from now on! I mean, I can't let myself be so wasted on those Amelia-crazy boys! April is soooo awesome! She's so friendly! Sure, she is a bit too sensitive but hey! I think she just pretends that! You can see that she faked…so that I won't get in a bad argument with Harry and Ron! So considerate! I like her, I have a feeling she is going to be my best friend! I can't believe how funny I sound! Anyway, I got to go! Need to help April! C ya!

Yours ever, Hermione

Hermione was staring at the sun that was about to set. The whole sky was bright orange and the lake in front of her was so peaceful and calm. Hermione let her feet wade in the cool water and she slept on the green grass under a tree. She sighed in contentment.

"Mind if I join you?" A husky voice asked making Hermione jump. Danny was standing and smiling. Hermione's heart started beating.

"Sure!" Hermione voice came out squeaky. She flushed and caught her throat. Danny chuckled and sat next to her. Hermione eyed his half naked body and shook her head in frustration at what she was doing. Danny's green eyes were looking at the setting sun.

"April giving you any trouble?" Danny said. His lips were twisted into a lopsided smile. Hermione's breath was taken away.

"So-so! Nah! I'm kidding! She's awesome!" Hermione joked. Danny laughed and shifted his gaze towards Hermione. His green eyes had a hint of evil in them, they were hypnotizing.

"Really? She's told me a lot about you, mione," Danny drawled. Hermione smiled.

"She's not the only one though, Draco has been telling things too," Danny said smiling. Hermione frowned at the sound of Malfoy's name.

"Oh! Then you probably don't have a good opinion about me, Draco would make sure of that," Hermione said spitefully. Danny chuckled.

"No actually, he was really nice! He actually said good things, don't believe me?"danny said challenging her. Hermione gasped.

"Really?" Hermione asked her brown eyes wide in surprise. Danny grinned. Hermione smiled.

"I'd say draco would be a mud headed dude to not see how lovely you are, mione," Danny whispered poisonously. Hermione drew her breath in and laughed nervously. Danny stared into her eyes and Hermione could see an evil look that scared her but attracted her even more.

"Ummm...? Really sweet! I better go...umm...need to see Harry and Ron, yeah!" Hermione said nervously not looking at Danny. She got up. Hermione was hurled back down by Danny. She never realised he was holding her hand.

"Hermione, don't go!" Danny said. Hermione looked confused.

"Okay, i guess they can wait a little longer," Hermione said and sat down staring at the lake. Danny touched her chin and Hermione flinched.

"What are you doing?" Hermione said panicking. Danny moved closer and Hermione tried to move backwards. He pinned her towards the tree.

"Danny! Stop! Please!" Hermione pleaded. Danny moved closer, Hermione reached for her wand but could not find it. By now, Danny had inched closer and his hot breath was on her.

"Danny...!" Hermione pleaded but melting when she looked into his eyes. She felt a little dizzy. His lips touched hers and fire works were blown in Hermione's head. She melted at his touch. She felt her legs and hands go limp. She swayed a little like she was drunk. Danny was still on her. She felt her nerves turn into a pojsonous snake and her blood rushed like a furious river. Her head went blank and her eyesight was blurred.

"Hermione dear, you asked for it, sorry dear girl!" Danny laughed evilly. His eyes were a glow as he looked down at Hermione's beautiful face and her lifeless body.
