Watching, Waiting, Thinking

[Hermione Granger]

She rolled her eyes. "Haven't opened it yet." She whispered. She looked around to make sure everyone was busy talking. She ripped it open and scanned it really fast.

Dear Sweetheart,

Listen, about the past couple of nights...I'm sorry. You were right. You really did something to me. When I cried into your shoulder at the Library I felt better and safer. And when I kissed you. Sorry that was sudden, I don't want to make you confused about me and Potter. Anyway, I am trying to meet with you again. Go to...'my place'. I would advise you not to bring Potter but if you must then go ahead. I just want to talk...maybe...I don't know. I'm really confused right now. I need help...I actually took up smoking to calm myself. Please meet me....I need to talk with someone before I explode.

Love You,
Master

[Harry Potter]

"Master?" Harry said. "That's a bit uncalled for." He smiled a bit. "But it looks like he's trying to do the right thing."

[Hermione Granger]

"He haid to say that and sweetheart so when it was checked they didn't know who we were.'' She replied, wearing that I'm-smarter-than-you look. "And yeah...but he's not sure. We have to go easy." She wrote a reply on the back. When? was all she wrote. She drew an arrow on the front meaning to turn it over. She sent it back.

[Harry Potter]

"He could've wrote a friend." Harry said.

[Hermione Granger]

She looked a little freaked. "No...not just yet..." She said. About 10 minutes later the owl came back with no letter. She looked confused until his voice came into her head. Tonight...midnight, he sent. She told Harry.

[Harry Potter]

"I take it you want to go alone." Harry said.

[Hermione Granger]

She hesitated. "I really don't know whether I want to be alone or have you. It might be better if I go alone." She muttered. "Besides, we have to get him outta there before the Ministry does." She muttered.

[Harry Potter]

"Just promise me if anything happens tell me to get there." Harry said.
