~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"Good Afternoon Class," Professor McGonagall started, to her Transfiguration class of Gryffindor and Slytherin fifth years. The whole school had almost finished half the school term and Teachers started giving out projects. "Today, I am giving all of you a special project, it will be done by pairs.To start of, we will take care of the Faeries.
"You might be wondering what this has to do with Tranfiguration, but Rubeus had some important things to do, we agreed that I take care of this project matter as of now." Professor McGonagall instructed, reavealing a small golden colored pouch.
"Furthermore, these are different kind of faeries, the flower faeries.In this pouch are the seeds.You and your partner will raise the faerie as if your own child,until it is fully gown." Professor McGonagall further explained.
"Very well, I will just give more details later after you can choose your pair. Only boy-girl. Go ahead, take your time." Professor McGonagall stated clearly and took her wand as whispered some words and the pouch glittered golden dust.
The students started to pair themselves.
Harry leaned over to Hermione. "This is perfect. Let's pair ourselves so Ron will be forced to pair with Lavender." he said.
"Great Idea!," Hermione replied. "Ron, who you paired with?" Hermione asked.
"Huh? me? I don't know. Wanna be my partner? I think there's no one left." Ron said gloomingly. He wondered how everyone in the room had a partner in just two minutes.
"How about Lavender, Ron? She looks like she has no partner too. Or, you can choose Pansy Parkinson." Harry whispered, where only Hermione and Ron can hear which was shortly followed by chuckles by Hermione and Harry. Pansy Parkinson was one of the mean Sytherins Ron hated.
"I'll take Lavender." Ron declared. "So what are you waiting for? Ask her before someone else does!" Hermione added.
Ron stared blankly at Hermione, he can't even believe he was doing this. But then, he took a deep breath and called the girl in front of his seat, Lavender turned to him.
"Uh, ah, Lavender? Mind if we pair together?" Ron asked nervously.
"S-sure." was Lavender's reply. Ron smiled and went back to his seat just to see Harry and Hermione giving each other high fives. Ron was not sure but he had a very good idea that his two best friends were playing "matchmaker" to him and Lavender. He gave them a that-was-so-embarassing-I- am-going-to-kill-you-later look. Harry and Hermione just chuckled.
Professor McGonagall put down the book she was scanning.
"So, everyone has a partner? Very well, I'm handing you one of these seeds, you will have to plant them and it will grow to a flower. Of course, it will form a flower bud but it when it opens, it will be the birth of your baby faerie," Professor McGonagall started to distribute each pair a faerie seed.
"You will raise your Faerie as if you own child. You can get to name it. This really is a very important project for all of you. And a big responsibilty. Faeries are just like us, except they have wings of course, you should raise your faerie , dress it, feed it, etcetera. I won't give you further details anymore about this , you will have to research how to raise your faerie properly yourselves." Professor McGonagall further explained.
"You and your pair will pass your faerie in two months, we will see how you raised them and you will be graded. Furthermore reminders will be said tomorrow. If there is nothing more, I believe we can finish this class early. Good bye class and Have a nice day." Professor McgonaGall smiled.[1]
The students got up and grabbed their belongings and carefully held their faerie seed, which was the size of jellybean. It looked very yummy to eat except it was gold in color.
"That was a very great idea Harry! Now they can really spend more time with each other!" Hermione exclaimed to Harry, glancing at Ron who was talking with a blushing Lavender about their project.
"Thanks." Harry replied. Just then Ron walked towards them.
"I can't beleive the two of you set me up!" said Ron wearily.
"You're welcome Ron!" Harry smiled. Ron just rolled his eyes. 'If you didn't did this too soon, I could be the one setting the two of you up!' Ron thought vividly as he looked at Hermione smiling at Harry.
"We have to research about this immediately before anyone else can grab the book. Come on!" Hermione said, taking Harry's hand and leaded them to the Library.
'Why did I just took his hand! You're such a dimwitt Hermione! Let it go!' Hermione scolded herself and let go of Harry's hand, and tried very hard to keep herself from blushing.
"Okay, we're here." Hermione smiled, looking at the big library. Hermione led them to the bookshelves which she was very familiar of. Then they stopped for Hermione to take a quite big book,namely, Faeries, How to raise them which looked like it had 5 other books to it, which looked similar.
"Okay, we got it. Let's read it later and head to Herbology." Hermione said and to the three of them spent the rest of their classes just waiting to find out more about their 'Faerie Project'.
The afternoon dragged on. And now, we have Harry, Ron and Hermione at the Great Hall having their dinner. But Hermione wasn't even eating at all, she started reading the contents of the book.
"Listen, We have to plant them in some soft of Faerie growing soil named, Uberitas and it will start to grow. The flower will keep on growing, you faerie will not reveal until excatly one week since you planted the seed." Hermione said eagerly.
"That's -er- nice, but Hermione, you have to eat, you hardly eaten anything yet." Ron suggessted.
"Oh yeah, hehe, just got carried away!" Hermione smiled and scooped some food on her plate.
Harry looked at Hermione as she was eating her pumpkin pie. She looks so cute when she smiles.
After dinner was over, Hermione excitedly read the book.
"So, this is it, we just have to plant the seed. But where do we get the Uberitas?" Hermione asked herself.
Harry read the book himself. "I beleive it says that we have to buy it. It is in a shop in Hogesmade." Harry said.
"Great! We will just have to go to Hogesmade tomorrow. Perfect. It is Hogesmade weekend tomorrow." Hermione said happily.
"And we have to go they by partner..." Harry said, turning to Ron emphasizing the words 'by partner'.
"You guys are really setting me up!" Ron said wearily.
"Aw come on Ron! We know you like Lavender dont be so naive!" Hermione said when Harry nudged her with his elbow, which was a warning that Lavender and Parvati walked in the Portrait Hole, Hermione just pursed her lips.
"Hi Lavender!Parvati!" Hermione and Harry greeted while Hermione nudged Ron so say hi.
"Uh- hi!" Ron said. Lavender just smiled at Ron.
Hermione winked at Harry and gave Parvati their signal. "Lav, we have to go, see you at the dorm." Parvati and said, leaving Lavender, as planned.
"Harry, I think I have to get another book about this, let's go to the Library." Hermione said, as planned.
"Okay. See you later Ron!" Harry waved Ron goodbye and walked outside the common room.As Planned.
There were still other younger Gryffindors in the Common Room when Hermione, using her 'Prefect Powers' told them to go upstairs, as planned.
And so, Lavender and Ron were just standing there, all alone in the big Common Room. With nervousness covering them.
Harry and Hermione were laughing outside the common room. "Did you see Ron's expression! God I hope they work out something there!" Hermione gasped.
"Yeah, I hope Ron can can even say something." Harry chuckled.
"Let's listen to what they're talking about right now." Hermione suggessted and crouched down and pressed her ear over the portrait and Harry did the same.
Wondering what struck him to do it, he pressed his ear on the portrait hole and meeting Hermione's face. That makes them face each other.
Hermione just gave Harry a toothless grin . The two of them waited for a sound. "He's not saying anything!" Hermione pouted. Just then, muffled voices started.
"Shh!" Harry said, pressing his finger to his lips to silence her. And between a portrait, they heard a muffled voice of Ron.
"Uh, Lavender, h-have you read about the faerie p-project?" Ron blurted out.
"Finally!" Hermione expressed and waited to hear Lavender's reply.
"Yeah, I did. Did you?" Lavender said calmly, even though she was very nervous inside her.
"Hermione did tell us about the Uberitas thing.We will need to buy some at Hogesmade tomorrow." Ron replied.
"Okay..." Lavender said.
"So let's go to Hogesmade together." Ron and Lavender said in unison. Then they chuckled, funny how they said something in unison.
"Isn't that cute! They said it together!" Hermione giggled and Harry just smiled, back to eavesdropping... "Okay, see you Ron." Lavender smiled.
"See you..."Ron replied and watched Lavender go upstairs to her dorm.
Harry and Hermione gave each other a high five. "Another plan perfectly executed!" Hermione said, rubbing her palms.
"You're a genius Hermione." Harry added.
"I know that." Hermione joked. Harry just chuckled."Let's go back inside." Harry said. Just then, they looked up. The Fat Lady wasn't there. Probably wandering off somewhere.
"Great, now how do we ever get in!" Hermione complained.
"I don't know. Why don't we grab a snack at the kitchens as for now." Harry suggessted.
"Great Idea." Hermione replied and so the two of them, having been familiar with the twist and turn in Hogwarts, walked their way to the kitchens. ~*~ Harry, Hermione and Ron and gathered outside the Entrance of Hogwarts, ready to go to Hogesmade.
"Where is she?" Ron said again, glancing at his watch.
"Excited to see her Ron?" Harry teased, with 'her' reffering to Lavender.
"Shut up Harry. I just wanted us to finish this early so we can go see what Fred and George were talking about a secret swimming pool later."said Ron stubbornly. He was not going to let them feel happy by letting him admit he liked Lavender Brown.
"If I know..." Hermione said. Ron just glared at them when they turned around to see Lavender and her friends, Parvati and Padma with her.
Parvati and Padma slowly pushed Lavender forwards, closer to Ron.
"Hi." Ron and Lavender said in unison. By that moment, Hermione clutched Harry's arm.
"What?" Harry turned to Hermione. "Isn't that sweet! They said something unison! They're so perfect for each other!" Hermione said, slowly that only Harry can hear. Harry just smiled as Hermione let go of her grip.
"So, let's go?" Hermione suggessted, glancing at Parvati and Padma who were giving them thumbs-up. The plan was really working.
Harry and Hermione leaded them to Hogesmade, meeting other students from Hogwarts.
The four of them proceeded into a shop that selled the Uberitas soil and purchased two pouches of it, including a nice ceramic pot. They had agreed to combine their money for purchase to be fair.
"What else do we need for it?" Lavender asked, seeming very interested in this.
"We will have to buy foods and clothes for it." Hermione said, checking back at her list.
"Okay." Ron said.
"Hey, I have an idea! Why don't you, Ron and Lavender buy the food, Harry and I can buy the clothes," Hermione suggested. Ron opened his mouth to argue but Hermione continued talking not letting Ro interrupt her.
"Then we'll meet - there! at that tree in... 15 minutes." said Hermione, pointing to a big tree just a few feet away from where they were standing with benches underneath it's shadows and immediately grabbed Harry to another direction and waved at Ron and Lavender.
'They really are planning us up.' Ron and Lavender thought.
"So, let's go get some food for the faeries, maybe for ourselves too?" Ron smiled, remembering Dean's advice about talking to girls.
"Splendid idea. Let's go." Lavender said. ~*~
"Good, coast is clear." Hermione said, behind a candy shop with Harry beside her.
"That went better than planned." Harry said.
"Yeah,I think it did." Hermione said, then suddenly felt her nose tickle. "Ahh---ahhh--" Hermione started just then with Harry's quick reflexes, he put his finger underneath Hermione's nose to stop her from sneezing.
Hermione felt relief in her, she didn't sneeze after all. Harry slowly took his finger off, brushing her lips that made his stomach do flip-flops.
"Ah--chooo!" Hermione sneazed. Harry just chuckled at Hermione.
"Why did you sneeze all of the sudden?" Harry curiously asked.
"To the dust I bet." Hermione replied. "Let's get out of this alley and buy the clothes." Hermione suggested and so the two of them went outside the alley.
They walked towards a small shop that really looked like it was a Faerie Shop because it displayed Faerie items and it even has a dancing faerie figure before the door.
A small bell jingled, to inform that someone was in the shop, when a woman walked out a door to greet them.
"Good Morning. How could I help the two of you?" She smiled.
"Uh, Do you sell some Faerie Clothes?" Hermione asked.
"Ah, yes, you must be fifth year Hogwarts students right? Four pairs of Hogwarts students already came by here to buy some." The woman said. Harry and Hermione just nodded.
"But I believe you still don't know the gender of your faeries right?" The woman smiled. Hermione turned to Harry giving him a I-never-thought-of-that look.
"I think not, I thought all Flower Faeries were females." Hermione replied.
"Oh no, there are also male Flower Faeries. But we have here baby faerie clothes, that's what your classmates decided to buy." The woman said.
"Okay, here, these are unisex baby clothes. Either boy or girl, you can come back when it grows, but tell you, they grow really fast." The woman said, handing them a small bag containing four pairs of baby clothes.
"Alright, How much for all?" Hermione asked and started digging for her pockets.
"20 sickles." The woman replied.
Hermione payed for it using the money Harry, Ron, Lavender and herself contributed. The shop keeper thanked them for coming and the two of them went out the shop after so.
"Okay, It's about time for us to go meet Ron and Lavender at the tree." Harry smiled.
"You don't use your brains do you? Let's leave them there for a while, leave them to complain how late we are, and so they start a conversation." Hermione explained.
"Ohh... Okay.So what are we going to do now?" Harry asked.
"Hey, why don't you come with me and let's grab some candies?" Hermione suggested.
"Okay." Harry answered and bought themselves candies that looked like wands, expect it had a thin handle and a yellow colored star. It wasn't like their wands, it was more of like a wand faeries used.
"It really looks like a lollipop, don't you think?" said Hermione.
"Yes it does. It already been twenty minutes. Do you think we should go now?" Harry suggested. Hermione nodded and walked with Harry back to the tree, seeing Ron and Lavender talking happily.
"Hey guys, sorry we were late, a prefect told me about a meeting. So how were you doing?" Hermione asked. Harry just smiled. Hermione did think of good excuses very fast.
"That's okay, here, we have the foods, it really looks yummy." Ron added, revealing the small sack for Harry and Hermione to see. Lots of small, star shaped, puffy cereal-like kibbles were glitterring. It looked very magical, and it smelled nice too.
"But you really should not eat that. It will make go a month older every treat you feed it to." Lavender reminded Ron.
Ron just nodded and in a short while, they came back to Hogwarts, specifically the Gryffindor Tower.
"Thanks for the time guys. But I really have to go. I will have to see you tomorrow Ron.Bye."Lavender said and entered the Gryffindor Common Room after Ron said a formal bye.
Harry and Hermione smiled at Ron, who looked...happy. "What?" Ron asked, annoyed why they were looking at him like that.
"Nothing, I bet you two are now really getting along." Hermione teased.
"No, that was because I had no other choice. It is a project anyway." Ron said stubbornly, crossing his arms. Harry just gave Hermione a he's-still-denying-it look where Hermione replied with an assuring you-and-I-will-solve-it look.
"Okay... If you say so Ron." Harry said. Ron could swear they didn't beleive him.
"So, what are we going to do today?" Hermione asked. Well, after some clashing or ideas, they ended up at Hogesmade buying more parchment,quills and ink.
"Harry, Ron, I need to buy something myself, I'll meet you guys at Three broomsticks later. Bye." Hermione asked and went off to a shop who-knows- where.
Harry and Ron smiled after Hermione and Harry insisted he'd carry Hermione's bag of new parchment and quills.
"So Ron, what do you think of Lavender?" Harry asked. Ron choked out the candy he was eating. "Why did you ask that?" Ron ansked.
"Well, Lavender said the liked-you-liked-you. What about you?" Harry asked. Hoping he remembered correctly what Hermione instructed him to ask.
"She does?" Ron asked, quite excitedly. "I like her but I don't know if I like-her-like-her." Ron answered.
Harry just shrugged an walked in Three Broomsticks with Ron behind him and they settled in a corner.
Harry ordered three butterbeers for himself, Ron and Hermione, who still wasn't there.
"How about you Harry? What do you think of Hermione?" Ron asked.
Harry nearly choked out his butterbeer. "What?" Harry asked, quite shocked. Am I really that obvious?
"Well she never said she liked you-liked you,but the way I look at the two of you, The both of you look like you like-her-like-her and she likes-you-likes-you.So?" Ron said, grinning.
Harry kicked Ron under the table to mean Hermione was coming towards them.
"Hi guys," Hermione greeted and notced that Ron was muttering an 'oww' to Harry.
"What's wrong Ron?" Hermione asked, taking a seat beside Harry.
"Nothing, nothing, I'm fine." sending a look at Harry. Not a mean look but a, told-you-so-she's-sitting-beside-you look.
Harry just gave him a she-sits-with-us-all-the-time-what's-the-difference- between-that look.
Ron just shrugged and started them conversations. They talked about their second year and Harry and Hermione just kept teasing Ron on Lavender.
Hermione and Ron were talking about Ginny and Seamus. Harry just listened to them, what did he know about those stuff? He just looked at Hermione.
He thought of what Ron said. Am I really that obvious? Does she really like-me-like-me? He really liked Hermione very much but he wasn't sure if he liked-her-liked-her.
He never had high hopes about it. It really would ruin their friendship if he liked-her-liked-her, but no matter how he tried convincing him self he didn't like-her-like-her, I always ended up with that he liked-her-liked- her and decided to keep it a secret to himself but how did Ron ever find out?
Stealing a glance at Ron who looked as if he was talking to him with a I- knew-it look.
Harry just shrugged, trying not to look convincing and just listened and sometimes inserted thought about what Ron and Hermione was talking about. or maybe arguing about.
And after that, they decided to go back at Hogwarts. ~*~ "Gosh, I'm so sorry Harry. I never realized it took me much time. But I couldn't say no to them asking for help." Hermione asked, her classmates were always asking her what to do next, until all was okay.
"That's okay, It's not our fault everybody likes you." Harry answered. What did he just say?
"Ha, everybody likes me, maybe but I bet they only needed some help, well let's get started before it gets very dark. I don't want to wake up in the middle of the night just to look for the faerie." Hermione suggested and so the two of them, left alone in the Gryffindor Common Room, started working on the pot first.
They needed to put spells on the soil and after so, they finally planted the seed.
"That's finished. Okay, just one week any we can now take care of our faerie." Hermione assured.
"But Hermione, how will we know whichh is which? I mean, all of our pots looks the same." Harry asked, looking at the pots beside weindow done by his classmates.
"You're right. Okay, here," Hermione said, ripping a small part of her parchement and wrote, Harry and Hermione's.DON'T TOUCH!
"Good idea." Harry said, while looking at Hermione stick it on the small pot. But he wished Hermione would write = Harry's Hermione. DON'T TOUCH and she's stick in on her robe, but shook his head. "I think that's all. Good night Harry." Hermione said.
"Good night Hermione." Harry replied and both of them went up to their dormitories to get some sleep.Little did they know, both of them didn't sleep easily thinking about each other and more of their plans to get Ron and Lavender together. ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ [1] - I really don't know what goes in the mind of a teacher so sorry if Porfessor McGonagall's explanations sounded dumb.

"Great, now how do we ever get in!" Hermione complained.
"I don't know. Why don't we grab a snack at the kitchens as for now." Harry suggessted.
"Great Idea." Hermione replied and so the two of them, having been familiar with the twist and turn in Hogwarts, walked their way to the kitchens. ~*~ Harry, Hermione and Ron and gathered outside the Entrance of Hogwarts, ready to go to Hogesmade.
"Where is she?" Ron said again, glancing at his watch.
"Excited to see her Ron?" Harry teased, with 'her' reffering to Lavender.
"Shut up Harry. I just wanted us to finish this early so we can go see what Fred and George were talking about a secret swimming pool later."said Ron stubbornly. He was not going to let them feel happy by letting him admit he liked Lavender Brown.
"If I know..." Hermione said. Ron just glared at them when they turned around to see Lavender and her friends, Parvati and Padma with her.
Parvati and Padma slowly pushed Lavender forwards, closer to Ron.
"Hi." Ron and Lavender said in unison. By that moment, Hermione clutched Harry's arm.
"What?" Harry turned to Hermione. "Isn't that sweet! They said something unison! They're so perfect for each other!" Hermione said, slowly that only Harry can hear. Harry just smiled as Hermione let go of her grip.
"So, let's go?" Hermione suggessted, glancing at Parvati and Padma who were giving them thumbs-up. The plan was really working.
Harry and Hermione leaded them to Hogesmade, meeting other students from Hogwarts.
The four of them proceeded into a shop that selled the Uberitas soil and purchased two pouches of it, including a nice ceramic pot. They had agreed to combine their money for purchase to be fair.
"What else do we need for it?" Lavender asked, seeming very interested in this.
"We will have to buy foods and clothes for it." Hermione said, checking back at her list.
"Okay." Ron said.
"Hey, I have an idea! Why don't you, Ron and Lavender buy the food, Harry and I can buy the clothes," Hermione suggested. Ron opened his mouth to argue but Hermione continued talking not letting Ro interrupt her.
"Then we'll meet - there! at that tree in... 15 minutes." said Hermione, pointing to a big tree just a few feet away from where they were standing with benches underneath it's shadows and immediately grabbed Harry to another direction and waved at Ron and Lavender.
'They really are planning us up.' Ron and Lavender thought.
"So, let's go get some food for the faeries, maybe for ourselves too?" Ron smiled, remembering Dean's advice about talking to girls.
"Splendid idea. Let's go." Lavender said. ~*~
"Good, coast is clear." Hermione said, behind a candy shop with Harry beside her.
"That went better than planned." Harry said.
"Yeah,I think it did." Hermione said, then suddenly felt her nose tickle. "Ahh---ahhh--" Hermione started just then with Harry's quick reflexes, he put his finger underneath Hermione's nose to stop her from sneezing.
Hermione felt relief in her, she didn't sneeze after all. Harry slowly took his finger off, brushing her lips that made his stomach do flip-flops.
"Ah--chooo!" Hermione sneazed. Harry just chuckled at Hermione.
"Why did you sneeze all of the sudden?" Harry curiously asked.
"To the dust I bet." Hermione replied. "Let's get out of this alley and buy the clothes." Hermione suggested and so the two of them went outside the alley.
They walked towards a small shop that really looked like it was a Faerie Shop because it displayed Faerie items and it even has a dancing faerie figure before the door.
A small bell jingled, to inform that someone was in the shop, when a woman walked out a door to greet them.
"Good Morning. How could I help the two of you?" She smiled.
"Uh, Do you sell some Faerie Clothes?" Hermione asked.
"Ah, yes, you must be fifth year Hogwarts students right? Four pairs of Hogwarts students already came by here to buy some." The woman said. Harry and Hermione just nodded.
"But I believe you still don't know the gender of your faeries right?" The woman smiled. Hermione turned to Harry giving him a I-never-thought-of-that look.
"I think not, I thought all Flower Faeries were females." Hermione replied.
"Oh no, there are also male Flower Faeries. But we have here baby faerie clothes, that's what your classmates decided to buy." The woman said.
"Okay, here, these are unisex baby clothes. Either boy or girl, you can come back when it grows, but tell you, they grow really fast." The woman said, handing them a small bag containing four pairs of baby clothes.
"Alright, How much for all?" Hermione asked and started digging for her pockets.
"20 sickles." The woman replied.
Hermione payed for it using the money Harry, Ron, Lavender and herself contributed. The shop keeper thanked them for coming and the two of them went out the shop after so.
"Okay, It's about time for us to go meet Ron and Lavender at the tree." Harry smiled.
"You don't use your brains do you? Let's leave them there for a while, leave them to complain how late we are, and so they start a conversation." Hermione explained.
"Ohh... Okay.So what are we going to do now?" Harry asked.
"Hey, why don't you come with me and let's grab some candies?" Hermione suggested.
"Okay." Harry answered and bought themselves candies that looked like wands, expect it had a thin handle and a yellow colored star. It wasn't like their wands, it was more of like a wand faeries used.
"It really looks like a lollipop, don't you think?" said Hermione.
"Yes it does. It already been twenty minutes. Do you think we should go now?" Harry suggested. Hermione nodded and walked with Harry back to the tree, seeing Ron and Lavender talking happily.
"Hey guys, sorry we were late, a prefect told me about a meeting. So how were you doing?" Hermione asked. Harry just smiled. Hermione did think of good excuses very fast.
"That's okay, here, we have the foods, it really looks yummy." Ron added, revealing the small sack for Harry and Hermione to see. Lots of small, star shaped, puffy cereal-like kibbles were glitterring. It looked very magical, and it smelled nice too.
"But you really should not eat that. It will make go a month older every treat you feed it to." Lavender reminded Ron.
Ron just nodded and in a short while, they came back to Hogwarts, specifically the Gryffindor Tower.
"Thanks for the time guys. But I really have to go. I will have to see you tomorrow Ron.Bye."Lavender said and entered the Gryffindor Common Room after Ron said a formal bye.
Harry and Hermione smiled at Ron, who looked...happy. "What?" Ron asked, annoyed why they were looking at him like that.
"Nothing, I bet you two are now really getting along." Hermione teased.
"No, that was because I had no other choice. It is a project anyway." Ron said stubbornly, crossing his arms. Harry just gave Hermione a he's-still-denying-it look where Hermione replied with an assuring you-and-I-will-solve-it look.
"Okay... If you say so Ron." Harry said. Ron could swear they didn't beleive him.
"So, what are we going to do today?" Hermione asked. Well, after some clashing or ideas, they ended up at Hogesmade buying more parchment,quills and ink.
"Harry, Ron, I need to buy something myself, I'll meet you guys at Three broomsticks later. Bye." Hermione asked and went off to a shop who-knows- where.
Harry and Ron smiled after Hermione and Harry insisted he'd carry Hermione's bag of new parchment and quills.
"So Ron, what do you think of Lavender?" Harry asked. Ron choked out the candy he was eating. "Why did you ask that?" Ron ansked.
"Well, Lavender said the liked-you-liked-you. What about you?" Harry asked. Hoping he remembered correctly what Hermione instructed him to ask.
"She does?" Ron asked, quite excitedly. "I like her but I don't know if I like-her-like-her." Ron answered.
Harry just shrugged an walked in Three Broomsticks with Ron behind him and they settled in a corner.
Harry ordered three butterbeers for himself, Ron and Hermione, who still wasn't there.
"How about you Harry? What do you think of Hermione?" Ron asked.
Harry nearly choked out his butterbeer. "What?" Harry asked, quite shocked. Am I really that obvious?
"Well she never said she liked you-liked you,but the way I look at the two of you, The both of you look like you like-her-like-her and she likes-you-likes-you.So?" Ron said, grinning.
Harry kicked Ron under the table to mean Hermione was coming towards them.
"Hi guys," Hermione greeted and notced that Ron was muttering an 'oww' to Harry.
"What's wrong Ron?" Hermione asked, taking a seat beside Harry.
"Nothing, nothing, I'm fine." sending a look at Harry. Not a mean look but a, told-you-so-she's-sitting-beside-you look.
Harry just gave him a she-sits-with-us-all-the-time-what's-the-difference- between-that look.
Ron just shrugged and started them conversations. They talked about their second year and Harry and Hermione just kept teasing Ron on Lavender.
Hermione and Ron were talking about Ginny and Seamus. Harry just listened to them, what did he know about those stuff? He just looked at Hermione.
He thought of what Ron said. Am I really that obvious? Does she really like-me-like-me? He really liked Hermione very much but he wasn't sure if he liked-her-liked-her.
He never had high hopes about it. It really would ruin their friendship if he liked-her-liked-her, but no matter how he tried convincing him self he didn't like-her-like-her, I always ended up with that he liked-her-liked- her and decided to keep it a secret to himself but how did Ron ever find out?
Stealing a glance at Ron who looked as if he was talking to him with a I- knew-it look.
Harry just shrugged, trying not to look convincing and just listened and sometimes inserted thought about what Ron and Hermione was talking about. or maybe arguing about.
And after that, they decided to go back at Hogwarts. ~*~ "Gosh, I'm so sorry Harry. I never realized it took me much time. But I couldn't say no to them asking for help." Hermione asked, her classmates were always asking her what to do next, until all was okay.
"That's okay, It's not our fault everybody likes you." Harry answered. What did he just say?
"Ha, everybody likes me, maybe but I bet they only needed some help, well let's get started before it gets very dark. I don't want to wake up in the middle of the night just to look for the faerie." Hermione suggested and so the two of them, left alone in the Gryffindor Common Room, started working on the pot first.
They needed to put spells on the soil and after so, they finally planted the seed.
"That's finished. Okay, just one week any we can now take care of our faerie." Hermione assured.
"But Hermione, how will we know whichh is which? I mean, all of our pots looks the same." Harry asked, looking at the pots beside weindow done by his classmates.
"You're right. Okay, here," Hermione said, ripping a small part of her parchement and wrote, Harry and Hermione's.DON'T TOUCH!
"Good idea." Harry said, while looking at Hermione stick it on the small pot. But he wished Hermione would write = Harry's Hermione. DON'T TOUCH and she's stick in on her robe, but shook his head. "I think that's all. Good night Harry." Hermione said.
"Good night Hermione." Harry replied and both of them went up to their dormitories to get some sleep.Little did they know, both of them didn't sleep easily thinking about each other and more of their plans to get Ron and Lavender together. ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ [1] - I really don't know what goes in the mind of a teacher so sorry if Porfessor McGonagall's explanations sounded dumb.
