The Plan
"Hermione, are you sure this is going to work?" Harry Potter asked his best female friend Hermione Granger. They were walking towards the Great Hall where Harry was going to have to do something he really didn't want to do.
Hermione rolled her eyes as she looked at him. "Yes Harry" she said "trust me. This is going to work." Harry nodded obviously not convinced.
His other best friend Ron Weasley looked at him and said, "Chill Harry. Nothings going to happen to you. And if you're this uncomfortable with it, remember what you are doing it for."
Harry smiled and nodded. He knew what he was doing this for. To get the love of his life back. And no matter how much he hated doing it he knew he would do anything for her. Anything.
Even what he was going to do soon.
"Ok. So. Maddy should be in the hall by now. Hopefully Lavender and Parvati made sure of that. Ginny and Neville told Professor Dumbledore so he'll announce it. And Seamus and Dean made sure that everything that you'll need will work perfectly. They've seen to it that after you tell everyone what this is about the microphone and speakers will magically appear. Ok Harry. Do you remember your lines?"
Hermione had said all that in a single breath without stopping. Harry could see Ron's bewildered expression as he tried to keep up.
The last part however Harry heard and so he nodded. "Yes." "Good" said Hermione. Harry saw that they were nearing the Great hall. He felt sick now. Even fighting Voldemort again would be better than this.
"Ok then. Ron, have you got the radio and the CD?" Hermione asked. "Yup" he said. Then he turned to her and went, "But I still don't know how you managed to make these things work"
Harry had been thinking about the exact same thing. Hermione's reference from Hogwarts: A History was finally drilled into his and Ron's heads.
Hermione just shrugged. "I found a spell in one of the books from the library." Of course. Harry should have known. Everything that Hermione knew was from books or other reading resources.
He was pulled out of his thoughts when he realised with a sinking feeling that they were very near to the doors of the Great Hall.
Taking a deep breath Harry braced himself while Hermione pushed open the doors to the Great Hall.
