Disclaimer: You must have heard this a million times before, but no… I don't own Harry Potter or any of its characters. They all belong to J.K. Rowling… ALL HERS! Tee hee. Lucky duck. Only the plot belongs to me. But there will be no story with no plot. And the plot is MINE! Tee hee. Lucky ducky!

Author's Note: My first fanfic under my second account! I know, I have only written 3 stories under my first account (LiliMarlene2004) but still…. I didn't finish those (2 of them) because…. Just because! Anyways, please do feel free to give comments and suggestions. However, please avoid flaming. The way I cater to flaming depends on my mood that day. And you wouldn't know what my mood is…. After all, who knows? Hehe! Anyways, I wrote it because I felt like it and I'd have lots of time to update. After all, it's almost Christmas Break! More time for fanfics! YAY!

Oh No… Wrong Move!

Summary: When Ron and Lavender decide that they have to matchmake Harry and Hermione, they try their very best to finish the job as fast as they could! But what if a small error causes a lot of damage? And what if there was an intruder who didn't want them to succeed?


Chapter One: A Wonderful, Beyond Brilliant Idea

It was September the 1st, and Harry, Hermione, Ron and Lavender were having a light conversation inside the Hogwarts Express. Ron and Harry side by side, and the girls sat together in the other chair. Ron and Harry were busy enjoying Chocolate Frogs (okay, well Harry gave Ron a treat), and the two girls were talking about Hermione's new position as Head Girl.

"Isn't it great?" Lavender squealed. "You're actually in a position!"

Hermione nodded. "I hope it'll be fun."

"It will be." Lavender assured her. "My mom knew someone who went to Hogwarts before, and she was a Head Girl. She said it was great."

Ron coughed. "What? That's not fun! You'll have less time for homework!"

The other three laughed and Hermione pointed out, "Since when were you interested in homework?"

"Well, you know, it's not that I like it, but we actually have to do it! Really, I don't understand the point of homework." Ron said.

Hermione was about to present her point of argument but she saw this look in Harry's eyes that said 'Just-leave-it-at-that-there's-no-point-of-arguing'. He was smiling however, and Hermione smiled back at him and rested back to her seat.

Ron and Lavender, who were sitting opposite each other, were surprised by the silence and were looking at them. Lavender seemed to be saying to Ron through 'eye-talk' (definition: mutual talking using body language especially the eyes! Okay, I made that word up but…) that 'There-is-something-really-fishy-in-here'. Ron raised an eyebrow and seemed to be saying 'Really?'. Lavender gestured towards the two who were staring at each other. They didn't seem to notice that this was kinda awkward, though.

To break the ice, Lavender cleared her throat. "Ehem. Why is it so silent?"

Harry and Hermione realized that what they were doing for the past 30 seconds was weird, and Hermione looked out the window. Harry, however, was quick to defend himself - and Hermione too, possibly. "Really? I was just lost in thought, thinking about Quidditch (let us just assume, for this story, that Harry wasn't banned from playing)."

"Really? That's nice." Lavender said. Hermione was still staring out the window. Ron was quiet and seemed to be pondering about something so… deep.

Lavender looked at Ron more closely. "Ron? Ron?!"

Ron looked up. "What?"

"Why did you say 'what' like that?"

He gave her a skeptical look. "Like… what?"

"You know, like you're so surprised and like I disturbed you from a thinking session. Really, Ron, what is it?" Lavender said.

Harry stood up and said, "Hey guys, I need to use the restroom first." (Again, I am not sure whether the Hogwarts Express actually had a restroom but let's assume there's one for girls and another for boys)

"Okay." Ron said simply.

Hermione seemed to be awakened from an unconscious state. "You know what, I think I also gotta use the restroom."

Ron nodded and Lavender started giggling. Harry and Hermione both went out and Lavender were still giggling. "What are you giggling for?" Ron asked her.

"I think they got their bladders full by staring at each other." Lavender was still giggling, and later on, it blossomed into a laugh.

Ron rolled his eyes. "Oh, shut up Lavender."

Lavender stopped and seemed to remember something. "By the way, Ron, why were you pondering so deeply awhile ago?"

"Oh, that. Well you know, I was thinking… maybe Harry and Hermione had a secret affair?" Ron asked in a curious tone.

Lavender coughed for real this time. "What? Ron, what are you thinking? Do they look like they're into this secret affair or something?"

"What I meant was they were staring into each other, starry-eyed and all. Best friends aren't that open, you know." Ron tried to reason.

Lavender raised her eyebrow. "My goodness, Ron. Out of all things! A secret affair? You must be kidding!"

"You never know."

"Well, I know." Lavender said. Then she sat up straight. "Aha! That's it!"


Harry just went out of the restroom. Hermione was done and she volunteered to wait for him.

"Done?" Hermione asked him.

"Yeah." Harry said. "Only it was a bit tight in there. The restrooms are small."

Hermione nodded. "Wait, I haven't gone in yet. Someone is in the girls' room. Will you wait for me?"

"Sure." Harry said and he smiled at her. She smiled back with her teeth out. And they began their smile fest – again.


Surprised by Lavender's sudden 'Aha! That's it!' outburst, Ron mumbled to himself, "So I'm not the only one who thinks that there is a secret affair."

"What are you saying?"

"Nothing. Now just get on with the program!"

Lavender was smiling from ear to ear. "Don't you see? They like each other! As in more that friends like!"

Ron nodded. "And?"

"The thing is, they don't know that the other likes them back as well." Lavender explained.

"That's kinda sad."

"I know, right? Don't you think, as their friends, we should do something about it?"

Ron nodded. "You're right. But what should we do?"

For about 30 seconds, the two were just sitting there and thinking about what to do. Then Ron sat up. "I know now!"

Lavender didn't hear that he had an idea and when she had her own, she said, "I have a wonderful, beyond brilliant idea!"

"What?" Ron asked.

"This is great!" Lavender said with her right hand above her heart. "Trust me."

Ron gave her a look. "So what is it now?"

"I'll tell you, but don't freak out, okay?" Ron nodded. "I think we should play matchmaker!"

"What?" Ron said in a dumfounded tone. "Lavender, are you going nuts?"

"What nuts? I bet when you said that you had an idea you were thinking about doing that too, weren't you?"

Ron nodded, with a bit of guilt in his face.

Lavender beamed triumphantly. "See? So what do you think? Should we push through? Ask for a bit of a help?"

"Why not?" Ron said. "Ginny might be interested. She likes those matchmaking stuff."

"And Seamus is in favor of Harry and Hermione. He said it so many times. He said it so many times that it got so sickening." Lavender said.

"Great! When do we begin?" Ron asked.

Before Lavender could answer, Harry and Hermione went in, having a light discussion about the rabbit that Hermione found wounded outside her doorstep. "You know, I took it in and I named it. Guess what the name is." Hermione said.

"What?" Harry asked.

"Sunshine! It was scorching hot outside, so I thought of the name." Hermione said happily.

Cute name, Harry thought. Only I like her name better. Oh shut up Harry you might say that out loud.

Ron and Lavender looked closely again. "Hi guys. You're back." Ron said with a weird tone.

"Oh… Hi!" Hermione said, with slight mock enthusiasm.

"Your topic seemed to be interesting. About someone whose name was… Sunshine?" Lavender asked.

Hermione's jaw dropped open and Harry was quick to her defense. "Oh… well, that… you see, we were talking about her new pet rabbit."

"Interesting. But Ron and I had a more interesting topic going on awhile ago." Lavender said with a sly smile. Ron gave her a look, but Lavender returned a reassuring look.

Hermione smiled. "Really? What was it about?"

"Just something… interesting." Ron said, and he and Lavender exchanged knowing looks.

Author's Note: Ron and Lavender are just about to get naughty! And when they do, they forget that it will eliminate them from Santa's list! So when will they begin?
