A/N: Wow, thank you reviewers! So far the majority wants Hermione to go with Draco. You won't find out who she goes with until the actual ball. So you have plenty of time to tell me your suggestions. Enjoy!

Disclaimer: I still don't own Harry Potter. The $20 plan didn't work.  Oh well.

Ch. 2: Letters

The next morning (February 2nd) Hermione entered the great hall for breakfast to find a lot of 7th year guys in Gryffindor and other houses staring at her. She started to feel uncomfortable. 'What's going on is there something on my face? Is it my hair? Maybe their not staring at me maybe their staring at Ginny- or Harry or probably Ron' she thought. She looked at Ginny and saw Ron staring at her. 'Ok Ron is staring at me it must be me.'

"Ginny is there something on my face or something embarrassing?" Hermione whispered

Ginny looked at Hermione

"No," Ginny whispered back "I don't know what's going on."

"Well I hope it stops- soon – like NOW. I feel weird."

"Well what ever it is, it'll probably stop soon."

But it didn't during Potions, Transfiguration, and Arithmacy. Guys were staring at her at getting points extracted from their houses for not paying attention. Hermione even caught Draco Malfoy staring at her. Hermione got into trouble for not paying attention; she wasn't paying attention because she felt embarrassed of being stared at so much.

At lunch time the staring died down a bit. And an owl flew in dropping a letter at Hermione. Hermione opened it.

"What is it?" asked Ginny,

"A secret admirer letter Ginny! You were right!" Hermione squealed with delight. Hermione and Ginny read it together silently.

Will you be my Valentine, Hermione?

Love,

A Secret Admirer

"That was short- but awesome!" said Hermione,

"Yeah, since it was owled- do you think Victor Krum sent it?"
"Nah, his owl is different than that one. This is SO COOL!"

"Whatcha got there Hermione?" asked Ron

"Oh nothing." Said Hermione Just then five more owls dropped letters in front of Hermione

"Wow I just got six letters in five minutes." Hermione picked them up and skimmed them.

"Ginny these are all from a secret admirer! And they each have different handwriting so I have more then one! Yay me!"

"Wow that's a record between you and me. I've only gotten letters like that from Harry and Neville."

"Neville sent you one?"

"Long story, Harry only sent me one trying to ask me out. But it is easier now for him – I think."

"Guys are dumb we just have to face that fact. Not dumb as in literally dumb but I mean asking a girl out dumb. Girls liked to be asked out in person." More owls came dropping eight more letters – I think you can guess what is inside.

"More secret admirer letters? This is weird." Then even more owls came dropping twenty more letters!

"Whoa! This is getting really weird!" said Ginny, "Now I'm feeling envious of you!"

"No kidding, I didn't know how many people liked me!"

"ok 'Mione that's a total of thirty four letters so far."

Harry and Ron said nothing. Ron was eating and Harry was realizing something. He remembered Myrtle coming and telling him something. He remembered every word:

"Harry did you hear?" asked Myrtle in a evil tone

"No, and I don't think I want to know."

"Well Hermione Granger is SO desperate for a date to the Valentine ball that she will go with anyone who will ask and" Myrtle chuckles "She is going to literally kill herself if she doesn't get a date and fast!" Myrtle laughs and flies away to tell more 7th year guys

"Hermione wouldn't kill herself." Harry said to himself "Hermione might have said that as an expression."

Meanwhile Hermione just received fifteen more letters.

Then it was time for Defense against the dark arts class. They had assigned seats and when Hermione got to her seat, she found a lot of letters stacked on her desk as high as half of her size!

Professor McGonagall was subbing for Professor Donaray who was at an important meeting.

"Miss Granger, Is there a problem?" asked Professor McGonagall asked

"Oh, um, um no Professor, you can go ahead and start Let me just move these letters so I can sit." Hermione reached up and took the first five letters down. Opened her bag and tried to stuff it with her other letters but her bag was so full they couldn't fit. "Ok" she said to herself "I'm doing it the easy way. Wingardium Leviosa!" (I think that's how you spell it) And lifted all the letters off of the desk and set them on the floor and took her seat.

"Harry!" Hermione called Harry to her desk, when he came, she said "Get Ginny I need her to help me with these letters.

"Hermione there is something I have to tell you."

"Not now Harry I'm going to be late to my next class, Hurry! And tell her to bring a few extra bags!" Harry went and got Ginny loaded with five extra bags

"Good Grief Hermione, I have no idea what's going on today." Said Ginny neatly stuffing a bag with letters

"I don't know either. After my next class we need to meet in my dorm room ASAP bring some friends we are going to be reading a lot of letters!"

A/N: How was that? Like my plot? Harry is trying to tell Hermione it is a bunch of rumors (some of it isn't some guy's actually wanted to send a secret admirer letter')

Coming up:

Hermione and friends read letters

Harry finally tells Hermione about Myrtle's rumor

Hermione yells at Myrtle by quoting a muggle song by accident (with a few words of her own) That's all I'm going to reveal for now. I'll update the sooner I get more reviews!
