A Bet Part II

Harry, Ron and I were now at the moment walking to the common room for the rest of the period till our next lesson. I had done all of my homework last night for the week, but no doubt the second we sit down Harry and Ron will be asking to copy mine for next period. So unorganised I swear.

I am right as, as soon as we flop down on the couch in the common room, Ronald says

"Hey Hermione, you know that homework that is for next period, can we copy- ow! "

Harry had quickly nudged him cutting him off, giving him a look

"Oh right, I mean compare work to, off course we have done it" Ron quickly corrects after the last time I told him to stop copying mine all the time.

I raise my eyebrow "Let's see then, I can 'compare' them for you"

Ron hastily says "No, er I can do it"

Harry snickers, turning his head to the sound of the door opening, and guess who walks in

Ginny Weasley, I roll my eyes at the sight of Harry pretty much gawking at her as she plops down with one of her friends, how Ron hasn't noticed his best friend has a crush on his sister seriously goes beyond me.

"So? Hermione"

I sigh "Fine, yes you can copy my homework, but for the last time" Getting out my book

Ron attempts to deny it "No really, it is-"

"Ronald we both know you haven't done it" I sigh again. Only because it's Ron

He thanks me then says "Hey Harry, I got the homework we can both copy" Without looking at him but at the lack reply of his best mate, Ron turns his head to do so "Harry, er what you looking at?"

"Nothing" He quickly shouts, snapping his head back around

I laugh quietly and watch as Ron repeats that they can copy my homework and as they hastily scribble it down, changing the words a bit.

Ron then tells us he's going to his room to get something and will be back in a minute to which we both nod to. With Ron gone for a bit I use this for my opportunity for my plan.

"Hey Ginny" Said girl glances over at me and I signal for her to come over to which she does so, she plops down next to me. I look over at Harry; he's definitely paying attention now. Ginny waits for me say something

I pause thinking how to say this "Say Ginny, Harry how would the two of you like to have bet between you"

Harry and Ginny exchange confused looks. "A bet"

I smile "Yes, its Gryffindor VS Ravenclaw tonight, depending on who wins get different results"

They're really confused now; I'm not really the type of girl who proposes bets on anything especially things out of my control really. They don't question it though choosing to ask about the results instead.

"What different results?" Ginny asks

A.N- I was going to stop her but since it's been a year around thought I'll be nice

They were both going to kill me for this but I hurried ahead and decided to be brave. "If Gryffindor wins... you two have to kiss"

"What?!" Their eyes both widened in shock, mouths widened in shock

"Er... we have to kiss who" Harry hastily says. I snort; he knows full well what I meant

I suppress the urge to slap my forehead instead saying "Each other, Harry. You and Ginny kiss on the lips" I add the last bit just in case they decide to be clever and kiss on the cheek

They are still staring at me in shock; Ginny is blushing now, her face nearly matching her hair.

I smile "Well?"

They look at each other, shyly. They are both grinning slightly, I think they both want to but just don't want to admit it. Ginny is attempting to hide her red face with her hair.

Then they both turn around to look at me and they both smirk, I don't know why but I don't like that look and my smile falters.

"What?" I ask

"What happens if Ravenclaw wins?" Ginny asks

I hadn't thought about that and I think by the look on my face they know that.

"Well I got an idea" Harry says

I look at him warily "What?"

Harry clears his throat and glances at Ginny then back at me. "If Ravenclaw wins you have to admit your feelings to Ron"

"What!" I shout in horror and shock. Oh how the tables have turned

"You heard me, Hermione, and don't deny it, it is bloody obvious that you do"

My throat has gone dry and I'm pretty sure I am blushing now

I attempt to clear my throat but it still comes out quiet and slightly rough when I say "...But what if Ron-"

"He feels the same way" Ginny says smiling at me

Does he really? He does according to Harry and Ginny and I can't help the smile that comes on my face at the news of that. Well that would make it easier if he feels the same way and I start to feel hope within me at that.

"Obvious? You two can talk" I grumble to myself "But he's with-"

"-I'm sure he'll choose you over her, Hermione" Harry assures me

Conniving idiots... those two are perfect for each other

I sigh heavily and smile softly "Alright" I say softly and quietly. They both grin at that

"If Gryffindor win then you two kiss" That got the grins of their faces, I laugh quietly at their expressions but I can tell they want to. "But if Ravenclaw wins then I admit my feelings to Ron"

"Deal" We all shake hands to make it official and I idly wonder why they didn't get me to kiss Ron like I done for them two.

Ginny smiles at Harry blushing slightly then giving me a quick hug, before she stands up and goes back to sit with her friend who is waiting for her on the other side of the room.

Oddly at that moment, Ron walks back in the room at that exact moment where he falls heavily on the couch beside me where Ginny was sitting by me a moment ago.

Harry clears his throat "Hey what took you so long?" he asks

"Sorry, I walked into Seamus and we got talking for a bit but I got my present for Lavender, meeting her in 10 minutes"

I froze at that and Harry quickly asks "Present?"

"Yeah, it's our anniversary tonight so I got her a little something, nothing much really"

Harry and I stare at each both thing of the same thing. It is Ron and Lavender's anniversary tonight, and if Ravenclaw win then I have to admit my feelings to Ron on their anniversary. I am horrified; oh my, what have I got myself into.
