Hermione looked down at the sheets, wondering how to start. She still could not fully believe that the painful memory is real, but she knew it was. Her heart ached just to think about it, but she also knew that she would have to tell someone, or it can be worse. She decided to start from the beginning.
"Well, today, you know I was waiting for Ron, right?"
"Yea."
"On tonight of last year, he told me that he loved me..." She stopped abruptly. "That lying bastard!"
Draco was slightly taken aback by the sudden raise in her volume. The brunette seemed surprised, too, and looked as if she wished she could take it back. She cleared her throat awkwardly before continuing.
"I was really moved. So I told him I felt the same way and then, we were together. At first he was really sweet. But after about six months, he started becoming late to our dates. After another month he even forgot about them completely. Of course, he apologized every time and I always forgave him. But when he forgot my birthday last week, it was too much. Even you remembered." Hermione frowned and added bitterly.
He smiled inwardly, but his expression remained serious.
"Well, you know what happened next."
Oh yes, he remembered. On the next morning, as the students were having breakfast in the Great Hall, a large barn owl swooped over the Griffindor table, a bright red envelope clutched in its sharp-taloned feet. Many pairs of eyes followed it as it dropped the howler onto the table in front of the receiver. Gasps could be heard all around the tables, but the most audible gasp came from Hermione, for it landed right in front of her.
She was definitely horrified. But try as she might, she could not guess what it was for. She hadn't done anything wrong. Hesitantly, she opened the envelope. Instantly, an echoing and deafening voice filled the Great Hall.
To everyone's great surprise, the voice did not have the tone of anger or frustration as the voices howlers usually contained. Instead, it started to recite a poem in a slow charming voice.
As the sweet love poem ended, Ron's voice was heard, announcing his message to all of Hogwarts. "Hermione. I love you."
So yea, my imagination kinda went crazy and I invented another way for the howler to be used. Please tell me what you think and leave a review! :)
