It was early in the morning and hermione had just sat down at the Gryffindor table with Ginny when the owls came and delivered her a newspaper and a Witch Weekly journal. She was shocked to see that the cover of Witch Weekly had a picture of her and Harry hugging with the phrase "HARRY POTTERS SECRET HEARTACHE."

Hermione sighed at the sight of the journal and handed it to Ginny. "I cannot handle Rita Skeeter. Go ahead and take this. Do with it what you will."

Instead of giving it back to the owl, Ginny decided to read the paper aloud to Hermione.

"Hermione Granger, a fourth year at Hogwarts school of Witchcraft and Wizardry, seems to be slumming it with not only one triwizard candidates, but three of the four. Granger seems to have wooed Golden Boy Cedric Diggory, Quidditch Star Viktor Krum, and the Chosen One Harry Potter. It is usual for girls at the hosting school of the triwizard tournament to fancy a chosen candidate for the challenges, but not very many girls succeed in seducing even one champion. Granger has used her manipulative ways and supposed love potions to win her way into three golden hearts..." Ginny stopped after a few minutes to see Hermiones reaction to the written content.

"Love potions? Please! Ive been dating Cedric for months now! I've known Harry for years! It's not like I want Krum to fancy me! Next thing you know, Fleur the Veela will be announcing her love for me too!"

A girl from Beauxbatons stopped in her tracks when Hermione said this. "Oh pleeze, az eef shee would ever love someone az 'eedious az you. 'Ze red'ead, maybe, but you? Never," she scoffed and strutted away, most likely to tell her other beautiful French friends.

Hermione turned to Ginny and laughed. "You know, I've been to France with my parents and I saw the Beauxbatons academy. Quite frankly, I find it fairly ugly." At this Ginny laughed so hard she snorted, attracting the attention of the nearby Slytherins, who pushed their noses back in response.

Ginny glared at the students. "'Mione, don't listen this foul woman, I bet she has at least seven cats," Ginny assured Hermione about Skeeter.




After breakfast, Hermione headed to double Potions with Ron and Harry, who were finally talking again after yet another dispute. Hermione huffed as she entered the room full of fourth year Gryffindors and Slytherins.

"Hey Granger! I read your article in Witch Weekly! Who's your next victim? Poor little Longbottom here?" Joked Pansy Parkinson.

"Please, Pansy, if anything, you're just jealous that I'm getting the attention that you couldn't get if you tried." Shot back Hermione. The Gryffindor students all laughed at Hermiones comeback and it lifted her spirits a tiny bit.
