Sorry for the long wait, guys. My birthday came, got sick and... got distracted as well. So.. XD
Anyways, here's the 7th Chapter for Chocolates and Emeralds!

BTW, sorry for the sucky title, I suck at making titles before writing the story.

"Miss Granger…" A female voice called, trying to wake Hermione up in the gentlest way that she could manage. "Wake up, Miss Granger…"

Hermione groaned in reply. She had spent all night thinking about Ron and Harry… and Ron that she hadn't realized it when she had fallen asleep.

"Miss Granger…" She said again, her voice a little louder than before. "You have to wake up. It's 9:30 in the morning already!"

Hermione didn't move or say anything this time, as if she couldn't hear anything, but only an idiot would believe such a thing.

"You're allowed to go, now!" She informed.

Upon hearing this, Hermione's eyes flew open and she sat up straight. "Honestly?"

The nurse smiled and gave a slight nod before straightening her back and searched for something in her pocket and handed it to Hermione. It was her wand.

"Oh… I've been wondering where that was…" She lied. She, for some reason, had not realized that her wand was missing, probably because she was too… distracted with the happenings with Ron and Harry.

I'll go to Harry's, Hermione thought. Yes, to Harry's.

"Harry!" A demanding voice shouted which made Harry's heart leap in joy but also feel a little… scared? "Harry, open up! This is Hermione!"

He was almost at his door when he heard a distant crack, and he remembered… he swore to his self that he would not speak to Hermione for a while. He made his way to his bed and sat there, listening as Hermione's knocking and shouting stopped.

"Oh, Kreacher!" Hermione said, a little shocked that it wasn't Harry who opened the door. "I- I would like to see Harry."

"Master is not here." Kreacher said. Harry had ordered Kreacher to tell everyone, everyone, that he wasn't home and to go away. "Go away." The 'go away' part was kind of rude, and would probably make anyone suspicious. But then again, Kreacher was speaking to Hermione, a muggle-born witch.

"He- he's gone?!" Hermione asked in disbelief. "Well, where is he?"

"Master said not to tell anyone." Kreacher informed. "Go away."

"Where is Harry?" She asked demandingly. "Kreacher… tell me."

"No." Was all Kreacher replied. "Go away!"

"I won't go until you tell me."

And there was silence. The silence was torture to Harry, the silence could be his advantage, he could sneak in under his Invisibility Cloak and take a peek at Hermione. No, Harry, He scolded himself. Don't.

Until Kreacher broke the silence, "Go away." And slammed the door shut.

"KREACHER!" Hermione shouted. "OPEN THIS BLOODY DOOR! KREACHER!"

Harry wished that Kreacher had been nicer, he had acted so rude on her. But Harry guessed it was better that way, or else, Hermione would have noticed it.

Hermione kept shouting but Kreacher didn't reply, he was probably doing the chores already and ignoring her completely. And Harry did nothing as well, even though a part of him was ordering him to open his bedroom door, go and open the door for Hermione and kiss her. Okay, the kiss part was just a part of Harry's fantasies.

"Okay!" She yelled. "I give up! Just- Just give this letter I stuck to the door to Harry!"

Harry's mood lightened up a little as he waited eagerly for Kreacher to get it for him. It wasn't like he was too lazy to get it himself, but who knows if Hermione was still there, hiding.

After what seemed like forever or maybe it was just Harry's mind playing tricks with him, there was a crack outside his door followed by continuous knocking. Harry opened the door for Kreacher, who was holding a scrunched piece of parchment with a messy handwriting (Her handwriting wasn't usually this messy, but it was probably because she did it in a hurry.). Kreacher handed the letter and left.

As he read the letter, his smile faltered as uncertainty and anxiety filled his mind.

I'm pretty disappointed with this chapter, to be honest. But I hope you enjoyed it!
