Chapter 4: Hermione's newfound love

"Hey, Hermione." Ernie looked so good.

"Uh, are you busy tonight?" he asked.

"No. Why?"

"Let's go out."

"Okay." Hermione replied.

"Meet me at the statue by 11." Hermione waved goodbye to Ernie.

She rushed to Harry and Ron.

"Hey! Ernie's looking good, Harry." Harry looked shocked. Ron's jaw almost dropped.

"Uh, Hermione, there is something you should know fir—" Harry began.

"Don't insult me again, guys. Ernie is way better than Malfoy." Hermione rolled her eyes.

"Uh, right." Harry gulped. "Okay, see you, Hermione." The trio broke and left.

"Ernie is such a two-timer!" Ron said.

"I know, but Hermione won't let us talk." Harry sighed.

Meanwhile, Hermione was getting dressed for the date.

She had on a white top and a black pencil skirt.

She looked very pretty.

She waited for Ernie at the statue.

But, something was wrong.
