Chapter One: Begin the Operation
~*~
It was a quiet Saturday afternoon. The halls in the castle were cold and empty. Students had every available inch of skin covered to fight the frostbite that threatened to turn them blue. The grounds were laden with feet upon feet of snow; it was even hard for the Whopping Willow to move its branches to shake off the still falling snow.
Even though Hogwarts was suffering from these dreary conditions a group of students still found the time to get together. At first glance it looked like a study group full of girls and an occasional boy. Professors walked by the classroom smiling, pleasant feelings warming their stomachs and glad for once that some students took their school work seriously. However on second glance…
"Alright everyone! Today's agenda, did you see Harry's hair today?"
"Oh I liked it!"
"Why? It looks the same. Messy in all of its glory."
"Yes, but it was more I-just-woke-up-and-ready-to-take-on-anybody sort of messy."
"Oh I completely agree!"
Squeals of laughter were heard throughout the empty classroom. Romilda Vane sat back in her seat at the head of the classroom smiling at her little protégés. Behind her on a blackboard was written in big bold letters "Harry Potter Fan Club Meeting". Yes, Romilda did the impossible and took it upon herself of leading her club into knowing everything about Harry Potter, her future husband. Obviously she could not find out everything about him herself. That would have taken months maybe years of hard work. But of course, Romilda knew how bright she was and used her brains to come up with a devious plan. Why not have other people do her dirty work and she could just sit back and relax and make her wedding plans.
Her club had become official a few months after the first day back to Hogwarts. They had a meeting every Tuesday, Thursday night and Saturday afternoon or night usually depending on the club's attendant's schedules. Plenty of girls signed up to join and a few guys that were in the closet. Romilda practically ran the club herself; along with her two trusted bff's. Olivia Vance of Gryffindor and Sophie Bobbin, twin sister of Melinda Bobbin in the slug club, of Gryffindor. Unlike her sister, Sophie was not particularly bright. She mostly went along with the ride but had a knack for getting major gossip whenever wherever. Olivia was smart but had no common sense. She was one of those preppy girls who giggled way too much, dyed their hair everyday to a platinum blonde, and chewed gum religiously. Romilda was the leader of the three, she could handle Olivia's annoying tendencies and occasional whoreish behavior and could keep Sophie on track and stop her from being convinced to stick her head in between the banisters by other students…again.
The meeting was starting out like any other meeting. They greeted each other and sang their club song.
He's a seeker. Yes he's a seeker.
The greatest of them all.
The one with the glasses, that's him.
The one with the messy hair, that's him.
The one with green eyes, that's him.
He's a seeker. Yes he's a seeker.
Harry Potter, that's him!
Then started a small discussion on Harry's outfit and whatnot. Then lead into the topic of the meeting. The discussion lasted longer than usual today because Randy Latten from Ravenclaw could not decide why Harry looked so amazingly amazing today. When finally after thirty minutes of heavy debate on either it was his hair or his new trainers Romilda intervened.
"Honestly. Does Harry really need a reason to be amazingly amazing? He's practically like that everyday!"
The group applauded and smiled at her. Romilda grinned smugly and stood up at the podium next to the desk she just vacated.
"Right, so on with the topic of the day. Rumors."
The group looked up at her stunned. Usually their great leader went on about her future plans, her wedding dress and/or how to get Harry to be with her and only her. Something that did not have the word Harry in it for a topic was simply not done.
Romilda smiled at them smugly; glad she got their attention. "Yes, you heard me right. Rumors. There's been some talk that Harry has been interested in Ginny Weasley."
The group relaxed; visibly glad they were now back on the topic related to Harry in some way.
"Well actually Sophie overheard Granger say something about Ginny and Dean and Harry showed a lot of keen interest in the pair's problems. Now, we can only assume that Harry is indeed interested in Ginny Weasley, why I don't know obviously I'm ten times more gorgeous than she is, but we must take action on these turn of affairs!"
The group leaned in simultaneously looking more and more like programmed robots waiting on their orders from their master. Olivia sat up and flicked back her blonde hair and twirled a strand of her hair with her finger. She snapped her gum before she spoke.
"So, um like how do we, like, do that?"
Romilda internally rolled her eyes; sometimes Olivia could say the word 'like' too much.
"We keep Ginny and Dean together, at all costs."
Sophie looked at Romilda was a confused expression. In fact she always looked at anybody with a confused expression, she defiantly not the brains in the group.
"So, erm… how do we, erm, like do that? Do we, erm, just like keep them together or, erm, what?"
Romilda waved her hand at Sophie, clearly annoyed. "Sophie, as exciting as your dithering is, we really must go on with life. Now we need to make sure Ginny is still crazy about Dean and vis-a-versa." I sighed at the confused expressions on some of the girl's faces. "Meaning the same with Dean." I rolled my eyes as the realization hit them. She really could have gotten a few smarter people in the group.
'But then they would find out they wouldn't stand a chance against me and they wouldn't give me all of their lurvly info about Har-bear. I'm glad I'm so smartical.'
Romilda internally grinned at herself with her extensive vocabulary and 'smartical' strategizing. She pointed her wand at the blackboard and words appeared in bright neon colors.
"Okay, so we must remind Ginny of how amazing Dean is and what not."
A picture of a stick figure with red hair, apparently resembling Ginny, had little hearts around her head and a little bubble of thought and a face resembling Dean appeared.
"Anna and May that will be your job. Since you two are somewhat friends with her, just keep getting inside information about the two and keep her interested in Dean."
A girl with black hair and another with brown hair nodded and scribbled fiercely on notepads.
Romilda pointed at the blackboard again and made another picture appear. This one was of a blonde stick figure listening to a pair of stick figure's conversation.
"We also need to keep tabs on how they're doing. Since Ginny probably won't say everything to us, we need to watch them. Sophie, Jean, and Randy, that's you're job."
The three nodded and started scribbling. Sophie stared at the blackboard in fascination and wondered idly how the pretty pictures showed up like that.
A few more pictures appeared. One was with Dean stick figure thinking of Ginny.
"We need to keep Dean crazy about Ginny. The rest of the guys here need to do that along with Olivia." They all nodded.
A picture Harry, Hermione, and Ron stick figure was next.
"We need to keep tabs on what Harry says about Ginny and what Hermione and Ron say about what Harry says about Ginny and whatnot. In other words, we watch those three. Sophie you'll also be watching them with Olivia, me and Mary, Grace, and Alice. The rest of you will keep watching everything and reporting any of your findings to appropriate groups and we'll take our findings and info out and analyze them next meeting."
The club nodded grinned up at her. Romilda smiled hugely at them, clearly satisfied at her place in power. "Alright. Meeting adjourned! Remember your duties, and your tip of the night, don't get caught watching from afar unless it's intentionally." The club laughed and committed it to memory for future reference. Tomorrow, it would be the first day of Operation Keep Harry Away From Ginny Because Romilda Will Be His Future Wife.

A/N: XD This just came to mind one day being bored in class. I mean does anyone really ever write about Romilda? I always pictured her that creepy type that would do anything for the guy she liked and would steal used gum and add it to a shrine in her trunk. Sort of like Helga in Hey Arnold. So did you like it? Any good? This will obviously be a chapter story but I want to know if it's any good to have it go on for awhile. So I'm rambling. Review POR FAVOR! [please!] :]
