Chapter 13 – The First Note
Disclaimer: All I own is the plot.
"Damn 'Mione," Ginny mumbled in awe.
"Well, he was being a shit," Hermione exclaimed, defending herself.
"No, I meant where did you lean to kick like that."
"I played soccer when I was little."
"Soccer?" Blaise asked.
"A muggle sport where you kick a ball into the other teams goal."
They heard Draco mumble something about muggles from the ground. He was no longer rolling around on the floor but was kneeling. He was still very red in the face and had his hands between his legs.
"Are you okay Draco?" Pansy asked from the bathtub, just realizing that Draco was hurt.
"I will be in about two minutes when my balls move back in place thanks," He snapped sarcastically.
"No need to get nasty, She mumbled.
"Maybe your balls would still be in place if you weren't such a shit!" Hermione snapped.
"Anyway," Blaise interrupted, "We have to make observations on Pansy. Let's see... waist length glossy hair, webbed hands, crystal blue eyes, um… I think that's it."
"One more thing Zabini," Hermione said
"What would that be that?"
"Her tail!" Draco said, standing up. "Her massive, six foot long, scaly tail! It only takes up the space were her legs used to be!"
"You don't have to be in a fowl mood just because Hermione got you where it hurts," Ginny snapped
"Yeah, Malfoy, don't be a jerk!" Hermione added
"You got me into that situation, Granger!"
"You were being a prat!"
"Um... any who." Ginny cut in, "I think we should call each other by our first names, after all we do have the rest of the year together."
"You just thought of that on the spot didn't you?" Draco drawled
"Yes…" Ginny mumbled
"Fine then, Ginny," Draco continued "What do we do now?"
"We could gossip!" Ginny said clapping her hands together. "I think that Lavender Brown has a thing for Ron!"
"Really?" Hermione asked
"Well I have… that… thing… I have to do…" Draco stated leaving the bathroom. The four teens then heard the portrait slam behind him.
"Knew that would get him to leave," Ginny said. Blaise immediately wrapped his arms around her waist.
"I have to go to," Blaise said, reluctantly pushing Ginny of him. He gave her a peck and left. About a half hour later, He returned with a letter in his hand.
"Holy hell!" he exclaimed, "I came back to get my jacket and I found this outside your portrait!" He gave the letter to Hermione. It read 'To my dear Hermione' on the front.
"It's from your masked lover!" Ginny exclaimed putting her hand on her chest for emphasis.
"It may not even be him," Hermione blushed
"Getting a big head Hermione?" Pansy asked, her brow wrinkling.
"No!" Hermione snapped
"OPEN IT ALREADY!" Ginny bellowed
""Okay… yeesh," Hermione said opening the letter. She read it out loud:
Hermione Granger,
Aren't emotions peculiar? I guess you think so because you have been toying with mine since the ball. Three days ago, I thought you were a stuck up Gryffindor know- it- all. But today you are the deity who occupies my everythought. This is not my last letter so look forward to getting them again.
Sincerely,
Your masked stranger
P.S. I wrote this for you (I know I have no life don't rub it in)
Could have been the silence thats awake
am I waitin for another chance
I lay down my head for the day
cuz' there's nothing else, anything
Could have been the silence that you made
wasn't waiting for you
I lay down my head for the day
cuz i'm so alone
so i'll take what I can't have
but I wasn't born yesterday (wasn't born yesterday)
cuz I make believe, that you're inside my head
I make believe, that you're the only one
I remember what you used to say
when we were alone
I held out my hand, you walked away
are you searchin' for someone?
so i'll take what I can't have
but I wasn't born yesterday (wasn't born yesterday)
cuz I make believe, that you're inside my head
I make believe, that you're the only one
I tried to see, what keeps me hangin on
I stare inside my head
there inside my head
there inside my head
Inside my head
I make believe that you're inside my head
I make believe, I tried to see, you just leave me...
"I wish Blaise would write a song for me," Ginny sighed whimsically.
"Maybe I will someday," Blaise smirked. Ginny promptly pecked him on the lips and he wrapped his hands around her waist. Hermione watched them and wondered if she could ever be in a relationship that perfect.
