Everyone but everyone knew the on-going situation between the two Gryffindors. When they weren't argueing they were being too nice to one another, and when they were no where to be seen the rest of the school gossiped about when they would finally get together. Bets were taken on when it would happen and who would give in first. It was even a rumour that most of the teachers had bets on too!

Completley oblivious to what was going on around them Ron and Hermione were now in their 6th year at Hogwarts. 2 years had passed of their infamous arguements and public performances, which always ended with Ron becoming furious as Hermione continously believed him to be in the wrong. Ron's younger sister Ginny and Harry- Ron and Hermiones best friend had tried on many occasions to get them together. They though were the only two who hadn't placed a bet on them...

After the common room had slowly emptied one eveing Harry and Ginny were left talking alone, they had decided they needed a new plan for the hopeless couple to be. "Were running out of ideas! You know that don't you Harry." Ginny sighed. Harry could only nod at her obviously trying to think of a new plan.

"We could always give them the truth potion-Veritaserum" Ginny suggested,

"we've disscussed this before, they would reveal alot more than there feelings for one another. Truths would come out about everything, an example being us sneaking out on numerous occasions."

"Then I give up!" Ginny exclaimed, after a long pause Harry replied,

"you know what I've been thinking...we're stupid really! I think everyone else has it right and us wrong."

"What do you mean?"

"Well..." Harry began "we keep trying to set them up but they are both being stubborn. If we just let nature take it's cause it will eventually happen..."

"eventually being the key word," she cut him off, Harry frowned then continued,

"well anyway we'll just leave them to it from now on and have a little fun whilst doing so." Harry grinned,

"Well what do you mean? Ginny enquired very confused by now.

"Well we could have our own little bet on them, they wouldn't need to know." Harry winked at her,

"hmm sounds interesting I'm listening," she smiled slightly,

"okay well I bet you that Ron will be the first to give in." Harry grinned,

"oh no Hermione will give in first." Ginny argued.

"How do you know? Ron's not stupid. He knows he has nothing to loose, and he's definitely becoming more angrier with himself for not saying anything. He'll crack first as your brother can be very weak when it comes to girls." Harry explained.

"Well Hermione also knows she has nothing to loose. She's not stupid either! It's now getting to the stage where you can tell she just wants them together. She's a very clever person don't forget!" Ginny argued.

"Fine well we'll just have to see won't we. What are we betting on then?" Harry wondered,

"Erm...Oh I know if I win I want you to do all my homework for 2 weeks," she grinned wickedly.

"Ok... well if I win I want you to pretend to be my girlfriend for 2 weeks, to get back at Lavendar." Harry matched her grin.

Harry and Lavendar had dated for a couple of months around a year ago, and she had ended it when she said he was too possesive. Even though she only wanted to make Dean jealous, and have a "famous" boyfriend. Harry wanted to prove to her that he could be a kind, sweet, sensative boyfriend which infact he really was.

"Hang on, what do you mean? Just hold your hand occasionally?" she wondered,

"well there would be a couple of kisses and you rubbing it into Lavendar what she missed out on. Yes also holding hands, hugging etc," he explained. Ginny sat and thought for a minute, "Hmm... well okay but you do realise this could ruin our friendship." Ginny worried.

"Well lets just hope you win then." He smiled wickedly, and with that they shoke hands unaware that this bet could change their lives forever.
