Hermione's P.O.V.

One day after the Draco/Harry incident had passed & the Owls were coming in at breakfast.

"Oooh, look, Hermione! You've gotten a letter!", Ron said excitedly, "What's it say!? What's it say!?"

I look down confused at the letter attached to a small gray school owl. Who would've sent me a letter?

I open it & read it:

Dear Hermione,

I apologize for my behavior yesterday, force of habit. It was just Potter looked so tempting! You know that feeling you get when there's a little fluffy looking kitty cat just sitting there... But in your enemy's lap.. & you just want to stick you hand in feel the kitty cat while slapping your enemy?

I stiffle my laughter at the looks of Harry & Ron staring intently at me, & turn back to the letter.

a

-- Well that's how I felt. So.. I guess I deserve a wallop on the head.. But just know, I had that feeling, okay?

Yours Truly,

Draco Malfoy

"What's it say?", Ron repeated more impatiently, which caused me to snap back to reality.

"Umm.. My mother..", I say uncertainly.

"But how would your mother, as a Muggle, send you post with an OWL?", Harry asked, "Shouldn't she be using the normal mailman or something?"

"Mailman!?", Ron said in awe, "Is that a man made out of mail that walks around to all the stops in the Muggle World?"

"No!", Harry said, took a deep breath, & started to explain to Ron about Mailmen.

While they were doing that, I cast a glance at Draco. Our eyes lock in about 7 seconds, & he winks with a smile & turns back to his friends.

After Harry finished explaining(Ron with a look of admiration) to Ron about Mailmen, he turned back to me & asked, "Hermione, how does your mother have a post Owl while she's in the normal Muggle World?"

"Uhh.. Did I say mother? I uhh.. Meant.. Professor McGonagall...", I say, hearing the sound of uncertainty in my voice.

"Why would Mc--", Harry started, but thankfully the bell cut him off.

"Uhh, classes, got to go..", I say quickly & pick up my bags to go, "I'll talk to you guys later, okay?"

I leave Harry & Ron gaping at me, & head down the hall.

Someone bumps into me, "Ow! Don't do--"

I see blonde hair, blue eyes, & a smirk.

"Ohh.. You..", I say slowly.

"Yes, me, Granger", says the boy who my friends are arch enemies with, "You got my letter?"

"Yeah..", I mumble.

"Meet me by the lake after dinner", Draco says, & leaves before I can say anything.

Why does he have to make me lie to my friends? AGAIN? But wait Hermione, are you actually GOING? I can't right? 2 voices in my head are arguing back & forth the whole time I walk to class. When I sit down, I decided. I'll go meet MALFOY & see what he has to say for himself, & it better be worth it.
