You: I'm not a very bright student, let's just say I barely made it last year.

Hermione Granger

"I'll do the introduction, that's all."

"Hermione, you're honestly the most wonderful person I've ever met. And if I'm ever rude to you again —" "I'll know you've gone back to normal." I interrupted. I sat down on the sofa Harry sat on and Ron followed my example. I looked at him and smiled once more. He smiled back. I looked away and stared into nothingness for a while. The stranger's text from earlier had brought me to thinking. "never." I had said. I'm not sure if that's true. Ron has always been very special to me. I feel good when I'm around him, and he never fails to make me smile. Maybe that's what love is supposed to feel like? I've always imagined it to be so much more than this, but maybe it just isn't. Maybe I do like Ron in —

Something caught my attention that brought me back to reality. "What's wrong with your hand?" I asked, looking a little closer. Harry attempted to hide it. "Nothing." He replied, innocently showing his other hand. "The other one." I grabbed Harry's arm and took his hand. I gasped at what I saw. I must not tell lies. The words were carved into his flesh. Umbridge must've done this. This must be her sick way of detention, of punishment. "You've got to tell Dumbledore." I whispered. "No," Harry said, pulling his arm away from me. "Dumbledore's got enough on his mind right now. And I don't want to give Umbridge that satisfaction." "Bloody hell, Harry. The woman's torturing you!" Ron objected. "If the parents knew about this..." "I haven't got any of those, have I, Ron?"

We sat in that comment for a second. I inhaled. "Harry, you've got to report this," I said. Harry kept quiet. "It's perfectly simple. You're being—" "No. It's not. Hermione, whatever this is, it's not simple," Harry interrupted. He looked at me for a second. "You don't understand." That phrase felt like a stab to the heart, somehow. Harry closed his book and put it away in his bag. "Then help us to." I said. Harry got up and walked away. I looked to Ron for support. He stared off in thought. I sighed. "He's not doing too well," I whispered. Ron nodded. I paused. "I'm going for a walk."

I turned off my phone, put it down next to me on top of my books and parchment and looked at the scenery in front of me. I felt something bubbling up inside me, and suddenly I burst into laughter. I held a hand through my hair and let myself fall down on the grass. The thought of my mystery unknown Slytherin lover watching me from somewhere made me laugh even harder. Finally, I calmed down and watched the upcoming stars. The longer I looked, the more appeared. I smiled faintly.

"Well, well, well. Look who we have here."
