"Harry, have you seen Hermione?" Ron asked. "No, I have been organizing for quiditch tryouts with professor McGonagal all morning. You are trying out right Ron?" Harry informed his friend. Ron paced the common room, not thinking anything of quiditch or the tryouts looking worried. "You know come to think of it, I haven't seen Ginny all day either," Ron thought out loud. "They're probably together so they're fine. Right? Right." Ron questioned and answered himself. "Ron, Ginny and Hermione can take care of themselves on a warm fall day if they're together or not. Get over here and play me at wizard chess," Harry said calming Ron's worries somewhat. Ron plopped down in front of Harry and prepared his game of chess in his head.
Meanwhile, Ginny and Hermione were indeed together. They were locked away in the room of requirement. They haven't talked to each other for almost three weeks. It was finally time for them to sit down together and talk. Three weeks earlier Hermione confessed secret feelings for Ginny. At first Ginny wasn't sure what to do. She cared for Hermione very much. And she couldn't deny that she had some sort of romantic interest in Hermione. However, there was one small problem: Ginny's steady boyfriend of six months, the Syltherin head boy Draco Malfoy.
The girls sat in the room of requirement all morning talking things over. "Hermione, I dumped Draco. I want to be with you, that is, if you want to be with me," Ginny said in a whisper. "How did he take it when you told him that you loved me?" Hermione asked curious to know the answer. "He was upset but he said that it was okay. He wished me the best of luck with whoever I want to be with and said that he hopes that you will make me happy. Then he walked me back to the Griffindor common room, kissed me goodnight and that was basically it," Ginny said. There was a long silence. "Hermione," Ginny whispered taking Hermione's hand in hers, "I've been thinking about us a lot the last couple weeks. Do you have any idea how many times I have fantasized about you? Draco was fun to hang out with and fun to kiss yes, but I know I didn't love him. My head said Draco but my heart has been saying Hermione for a long time. I guess I just needed to be sure that you loved me in return before my heart would let my head in on the secret," Ginny said kissing Hermione on the cheek and hugging her. Hermione hugged back and the girls sat in a long embrace until shortly after lunch time.
Hermione looked up at the clock and noticed that it said 12:30. "GINNY! If we don't go soon we'll miss lunch!" Hermione exclaimed. "No wonder my stomach has been grumbling for the last forty five minutes. I didn't even realize how late it has gotten. When did we get here? Like 9:00 this morning?" Ginny stated rubbing her grumbling stomach dreaming of lunch in the Great Hall. "I think it was more like 7:00 nobody was awake yet. I hope Ron and Harry aren't worried about us," Hermione told Ginny. The girls checked to make sure that nobody was near the room of requirement and left to lunch.
Outside the Great Hall Hermione and Ginny stole a quick kiss before entering as "friends". "Gin," Hermione whispered loudly grabbing Ginny's arm pulling her back for a moment. "We can't let Harry and Ron know about anything just yet okay?" Hermione asked. "That's fine Mione," Ginny assured her giving her another quick kiss on the cheek. The girls went into the Great Hall and sat down opposite Ron and Harry as always. "Where have you guys been all day?" Ron asked. "Room of Requirement, studying for the Potions test. Like you should both be doing," Hermione said blankly. "But Hermione it's Saturday and Quiditch try outs are tomorrow, I should be practicing my keeper position so I'm not thrown off of the team," Ron stated. "What time are tryouts tomorrow Harry?" Ginny asked wanting to retry for the position of chaser. "9:00 AM. Get lots of rest and eat a good breakfast and you'll both be fine. Your practicing has been great the last few weeks; you've got nothing to worry about," Harry assured his friends.
"You guys going to do more studying later?" Harry asked Hermione. "Yeah, we can't quite get the potion right from class yesterday," Hermione said looking bummed out hoping that Ron and Harry wouldn't want to join. Ginny knew that they both had the potions down to the very second to add the crushed fly bits but she didn't want the boys joining either. "We're going to go train for quiditch right Harry?" Ron asked. "Yep, got to have the best team we can," Harry said. Ginny shoved the last few bites of her chicken wing down her throat and announced, "Well Mione? Should we get back to studying?" "Yeah, lets go see if we can get some food for snacks from the elves in the kitchen," Hermione suggested. "Sounds great," Ginny agreed. The girls headed to the kitchen and tickled the pear to get in. When they went back to the room of requirement they had every snack and pop possible in their bags. "Thanks Dobby," Ginny said patting the house elf on the head. "If you want anymore just ask. Dobby will bring more to you in the secret room," Dobby whispered to the girls. They thanked the elf again and went back towards their secret place.
Once outside the room of requirement Hermione and Ginny walked back and forth six times concentrating very hard on their need. A place to be together that is comfortable and welcoming. When the door appeared they entered as quickly as possible. Inside there were all sorts of things to make them both feel welcomed and comfortable. There was a bed that was soft and fluffy looking. There was also a couch and a fireplace. Conveniently there was a fridge to store their food and drinks in. There was other stuff that the girls enjoyed in the room too (like books because Hermione enjoys reading). Hermione emptied their bags of food into the fridge while Ginny fluffed up the bed so that they could lie together and cuddle.
Meanwhile on the quiditch field Ron was having issues blocking the quaffle. Harry scored on him eight out of ten times. "Ron, if you play like that tomorrow I won't be able to let you back on the team," Harry yelled across the quiditch pit at Ron. "I'm sorry Harry, I know you're trying. I'm just thinking about other things. Ginny and Hermione seemed a little different today at lunch. Like they wanted to get away from us." Ron said landing his chimney sweep 5000. "You know you're right. They did run out in an awful big hurry. For what...to study potions? I'm not buying it. That's their best subject. They have to have that potion down to an art from class yesterday," Harry said scratching his head as he climbed off of his Firebolt. "We're going to ask them about it later," Ron stated. Harry nodded in agreement.
Ron and Harry sat in the common room waiting for the girls to return from studying. They had just started to fall asleep around 9:30 whenever they were awakened by giggling outside near the fat lady. The boys ran to the portrait hole and listened very closely. They heard kissing sounds. "Ginny, honey, we have to get inside before somebody hears us and we get detention. We can finish this in my room. After all the Head girl's and boy's rooms are sound proof, but I'm sure you knew that after being with Draco for six months," Hermione said. "You're right babe. Lets get inside before someone like Snape wanders by," Ginny said. "Password?" asked the fat lady. Harry and Ron ran back to the chairs and pretended to be sleeping. "gilly weed" said Ginny causing the door to swing open. Hermione and Ginny snuck into the common room. They were surprised to find the common room so empty on a Saturday night. It must have been because everyone wanted to try out for quiditch tomorrow. Ginny let out a little yelp whenever she noticed Ron and Harry sitting near the fire sleeping. Ron woke up first and asked how the studying went. Hermione informed him that it went great and they are both ready for the potions test. By this time Harry had gotten up and grabbed a hold of Ginny. "Ginny, do you have anything you want to tell me and Ron?" Harry asked flat out. "Nope, but I have to get to bed if I'm still trying out for chaser tomorrow," Ginny said grabbing a hold of Hermione and hurrying her upstairs to bed. "I wonder if they're fucking yet," Harry questioned out loud. "HARRY!" Ron bellowed. "That's my little sister. Eww that's so weird," Ron said running to his bed and closing himself in trying to get the noises of Hermione and Ginny kissing out of his brain.
