The Next Day
Harry, Hermione, and Ron sat together in Defense Against the Dark Art class completely unaware of what was going on two rows above them. Katrina was writing draft after draft of a letter to Harry. She'd cast a spell so that her handwriting on the paper would be Hermione's. She couldn't seem to sound like Hermione. Draco had cast the same spell and was having terrible writing the letter as well. He couldn't get himself to sound like Harry.
"Just think about the real reason I agreed to help with this. Love. I'm doing this all for her." Draco thought to himself and started another draft. Seamus was sitting in between Katrina and Draco. He'd been given the job of keeping an eye on Harry and Hermione.
"There's defiantly something there." Seamus thought as he watched Harry and Hermione talk to each other and Ron beat another first year at Traveling Wizards Chess.
Lunchtime on the same day
Everyone chatted excitedly over the Hogsmeade trip they were going on after lunch. The only person who wasn't chattering happily was Hermione. She wasn't absence from lunch today. She was in the library researching something. The chattering stopped when the owls flew in to bring the mail.
"It's so amazing." Harry thought as he watched the beautiful swirl of colors that was all the owls flying amongst each other. He was surprised though when he saw Hedwig flying toward him. A letter attached to her leg. He untied the letter from Hedwig's leg, stroked the bird lovingly, and gave Hedwig a piece of his corn muffin. Hedwig hooted happily had flew away to play somewhere probably. He quickly read the long letter and then read it some more before getting up from the Gryiffndor table and leaving the Great Hall.
Katrina smiled a sneaky smile as Harry hurriedly left the great hall. She noticed her bright red owl flying toward and felt a lump in her throat. "Please don't let it be. PLEASE!" She thought as she pulled the letter from her owl's leg. She did give her owl the same treatment that Harry did. Her owl flew off indignant and mad. With shaky hands she opened the envelope. She read the letter and then read it twice and a third time. She felt her heart plummet and tears slipped from her eyes.
"It was right. Oh, what am I supposed to do now? I'll lose Harry forever and he'll run start into the arms of that mudblood, Granger." She glanced at the Slytherin table quickly then back down at the letter. "There's no way I can convince Harry it's his either because we haven't slept together." Katrina ran out of the Great Hall forgetting the letter that brought her such terrible news.
Hermione was working feverishly on project for one of her classes when a Hogwarts owl came flying into the library and dropped a roll of parchment on the desk in front of her before flying out the library as quickly as possible so that she didn't get smack with a broom by the librarian. She stared at it curiously and began to open it when….
