Disclaimer: I don't own Harry Potter
Author's Note: Haha I was reading your reviews and saw that you started to wonder about the boy. Let's just say that Hermione is going to be running into him in the future. Here's another chapter…
P.S.: I've been getting a lot of readers who are unsatisfied about the length of the chapters. Please understand that I don't write long chapters. Some are longer than others but overall they are not very lengthy. That's just the way I write; thank you for understanding.

Hermione got back to Gryffindor tower with five minutes until the end of the current class period.
Pulling out her nearly finished History of Magic essay, Hermione started writing out the last few sentences.
She had barely put a period at the end of the final sentence when the portrait hole opened. Several students climbed through including Harry and Ron.
They were discussing a student they had run into.
"He looked a little funny to me," said Ron.
"He was looking at you strangely. What do you reckon that was about?" asked Harry.
Ron shrugged.
"Whom are you talking about?" Inquired Hermione who had walked over and was curious as to who they were discussing.
"This boy we ran into on the way back from Divination," Said Harry. "He looked a little odd and when he saw Ron he started mumbling about something. We couldn't understand what it was though."
"Was he from Ravenclaw?" Asked Hermione, remembering the boy she saw after leaving the workroom.
"You know, I think he was. How did you know?" asked Harry.
"I was coming back from the work …eblah, ahm….I mean from working in the library. I saw a boy who I thought was from Ravenclaw. He looked kind of shifty and I asked what he was doing."
"You went to the library?" Ron asked.
"Yes, well I had to…" Hermione started but Harry cut her off.
"What did he say he was doing?"
"He said he was going to the hospital wing." Hermione said.
"They always say that." Ron said rolling his eyes. "Anyway, enough about whoever this guy is. I'm starving."
And it was indeed time for lunch.

The three of them headed back out of the common room and down through the castle to the Great Hall for lunch.
As Hermione spooned stew onto her plate she looked up briefly at the Slytherin table. She caught sight of Draco and her heart skipped a beat.
She tried but couldn't suppress a small smile and felt her cheeks color. Then she sighed and wished she could be free to do as she pleased without having to hide everything.
"Why 're 'ou suhmiling 'Ermione?" Ron asked with his mouth full.
"Oh I was just remembering something I read in my History of Magic textbook." Hermione said. "It was about the giant wars. They were so foolish. See if they had…"
"Thank Hermione but we've already been to classes," Said Harry.
