I finally went up to Owlery late at night, when only Filch roamed the corridors. I sat down at one of the smelliest tabled and pulled out parchment, ink, and quill. I wrote

Dear Ronald,

I have read your note and have to send my regard. I love that you think of me most highly, and I love you too. Being caught up in my studies (which are increasingly harder) I have not been able to think of anything else very much. I send my utmost apologies for not responding the minute I got it and not writing you sooner in general.
Love,
Hermione Granger

I looked speechlessly at the parchment full of lies. Every word was drenched in ink, especially the ones that looked like bold.
I wiped my brow and dotted my signature.

Just as soon as I was picking out a school owl, tears in my eyes, Hedwig flew in. I gasped and grabbed her letter that was tied to her foot. I dropped some of the Best Owl Food in the Universe.

Hedwig was so surprised and greatful she patted my on the head with her beak.

I opened the letter.

Dear Hermione,

So how are you? Haven't heard from you in a while. I have some very good news. Me and Ginny are getting married! It will be about nine months so we are well over age, but I enclosed your invitation. Ginny would like you to a bridesmaid and a back-up maid of Honor if something goes wrong with Luna.

Lots of future Brother-In-Law (after you and Ron get married and me and Ginny are official) love,

Harry Potter

P.S. How's Hogwarts?

I sat down again and wrote another letter, smiling like crazy. But frowned when I got to his signature.

Dear Harry,

I am so exited! I will definitely be at the wedding and on call for maid of honor. I am so happy for you and Ginny! I will try to make it home for Christmas to congratulate you.
About that ''me and Ron getting married' thing, that's something I want to discuss with you. Your going to think I am crazy and probably hate me forever. Owl back if you want to hear, but don't tell Ronald. Don't even tell him about the last paragraph.
Hogwarts is fine, Snape is a lot nicer (well, more decent) to me especially, constantly blotting his snake bites. Its getting annoying. McGonagall is Headmaster, and she runs the school like Dumbledoor did, and I feel like I am in fourth year again. I miss you so much Harry, and I miss Dumbledoor too.

My love and regards,
Hermione

I dotted my letters and packages them up, sending one to Ron on a black school owl, and one to Harry with Hedwig.

And prayed Harry could keep a secret.
