Author Feedback: Well I just figured, bring it full-circle, y'know? Because they started out in the first bit with Hermione 'needing to do research in the library' and running off, and then end with the third, in which she honestly was on her way THERE when she was sidetracked, for lack of a better term, and saying the same thing after kissing him the second time would only cause him to wonder further whether she's making excuses again or not, and -
*shrug* It worked out in my head.
It DOES differ stylistically from the other two parts, mostly because it's been seven months since those were posted (due to much procrastination and schoolwork and simple FORGETFULNESS) and I've become rather fond of run-on sentences and various other forms of grammar murder, and also because...I dunno. The others were in first person, and I was attempting to write as each of them would since they were letters, while this is in third because I wanted to switch back and forth and get both POVs. Which makes for something of a difference, in itself.
As for the 'she' in the last paragraph...it was meant to refer to Hermione. And I thought that was clear, but looking back on it, I can see how it could be misunderstood with the way that the sentence was constructed. And Hermione would have had the note since Harry picked it up for her with her books (after the second time they were thrown all across the corridor), so she would've been the one to stick it in his pocket, and...wouldn't that have been a bit odd to have had Madame Pince caressing Harry's little finger?
Hunh. Although, ACTUALLY...
Thank you muchly for the review!
