QUICK AUTHOR NOTE:
-Yes…my bad. I made the stupid mistake of making Ginny a 5th grader when Hermione was actually in 7th grade (Oh yes, in case you haven't already figured it out, I'm not really following the whole wizarding war against Voldermort and stuff) so let's just scratch that and Ginny is actually in 6th grade YEEHE!
Thank you.
"This woman is too granny-ish for school life," Ginny grudgingly said as she walked through the aisle on her way to the grounds of the school.
As she walked she kept complaining about Hermione quite loudly, this immediately gained her some really weird looks from people. But then again, how normal was it to see a ginger cursing quite loudly and more importantly to herself?
"Ugh! SO Unfair! I'm trying to help her and what do I get? NOTHING!"
She probably looked like a psycho, but one would not mess with Ginny Weasley, not even when she was in a good mood. Now imagine a bad mood. Someone could easily end with a broken something! Or worse…
"Ginny! Hey, wait up!" someone called out for her.
The fuming ginger turned. Her face as red as a tomato. The other girl who had initially called her froze still, stopping her innocent act of giving the Weasley's only girl a warm hug.
"What's with you? You're red. Do you know that?"
And BANG. Ginny exploded into a speech which filled the rather crowded aisles of the Wizarding school, profanities swam around in every single room and anyone with a bit of common sense would know that probably Snape was listening, which will lead into an immediate consequences of Gryffindor losing points yet again.
Anyhow, consequence or not, Ginny kept shouting her story to the Slytherin girl.
"AND THEN SHE KICKED ME OUT OF HER DORM! CAN YOU IMAGINE THAT, HEILY? CAN YOU? ONE TRIES TO HELP AND THE ONLY THING THAT YOU GET IS A STRAIGHT NO AND A THREAT OF LOSING POINTS!"
In no less than 20 minutes, a circle of curious students had already gathered around the screaming Weasley. Some were laughing at Heily's expression of surprise, others were anxiously waiting for a girl on girl fight (evidently they didn't know Ginny was screaming about Hermione not to Heily. Therefore they immediately deduced the ginger was fighting with the auburn.) And lastly, some others were just plainly scared of Ginny's outrageous attitude.
So the show kept going, until McGonagall step in.
"What is going on around here?" She asked loudly and firmly. Students quickly spread into the hall and pretended to not have even noticed the "fight" that had been going on for about 20 minutes.
"She's just angry professor." Heily answered patting Ginny's back and secretly pulling her hair until her tantrum was over.
"HEY! THAT HURTS! DON'T YOU-" and before Ginny could end her sentence, Heily's hand came to rest over her mouth. Ginny eventually struggled to free herself from the girl's firm grip but failed. That was when Ginny's clear orbs met with McGonagall's rather annoyed stare.
Ginny relaxed notably, so Heily slowly released her, watching Ginny's reaction at all moments. Once she was fully released and she still seemed to show no sign of starting to shout again, McGonagall spoke.
"This anger of yours, Miss Weasley, is no excuse for screaming in the middle of a hall way. You will do well in remembering so. This is no madhouse."
"Yes. Sorry Professor" Ginny apologised rather ashamed. McGonagall merely nodded her head towards the ginger student and proceeded to continue her way.
Once the professor left, Ginny turned to Heily, who deemed in anxiousness. What the hell was she deeming for? Ginny had no idea, but she did know that it was freaking her out.
"Okay…Heyl, you're a bit creepy…" this said, Ginny started walking towards the lake-where she initially was going-Heily following her closely behind.
"I see…well it seems like a good plan, actually" Heily said leaning against the trunk of the old tree near the lake.
"I know…yet Hermione won't listen to me…" Ginny's head dropped. But not in a defeat-like-way, no. It was as if she fell hard into her thoughts.
Both girls had already arrived at the lake. It was not very crowded; it was rather empty and quite peaceful. Hermione, Heily and Ginny specially loved it there. They would often go there and spend the rest of the afternoon chatting; gossiping about whatever they felt like. It was quite the perfect girl hangout place.
Of course, Hermione spent much of said gossip working and more listening than talking.
Heily and Ginny remained in silence for a few minutes. Both seemed all quite lost in their own thoughts.
However, Ginny's face rose up with a big grin spread across her features. Her eyes sparkled with glee.
"That's it! Heyl, you're her cousin, surely you'll be able to talk her into it. It's perf-!"
"No way." Heily interrupted Ginny's happiness.
"The hell? Why not? Heily you're not precisely the moral type" Ginny said rolling her eyes as Heily made and offended face. "Oh, but it's true! You snogged Malfoy for Merlin's sake…wait, I need to go an puke" Heily laughed as Ginny started to act as if she was sick.
"On with that, now are we? He is not a bad kisser, let me remind you Ginevra"
A roar of laugher from Heily aroused as Ginny's face showed a completely disgusted expression. Heily started to hit Ginny softly so she would make the face disappear.
"You're such a fool, Ginevra Weasley! He's nice!"
"Merlin, Heyl! He's an arse! And I refuse to keep hearing about your sexual encounters with him, so let's just talk about Harry and Hermione, would you?" Ginny said shifting her sitting position, for her legs where starting to get numb. Heily rolled her eyes while she laughed softly, but she nodded anyway. "Now, tell me why you don't want to talk Hermione into this?"
Heily took her time to answer, she knew Hermione since they were two newborn babies. And truth was, Hermione was not that kind of person to use other people to achieve her ends. Also, she knew how Harry felt about Hermione.
So she had two options:
Talk Hermione into it and hope for a good turn out of events. Things like, Hermione finally getting over Ron and discovering her hidden feelings for her best friend and marrying and having children, and having those children call her "auntie Heyl". Yes! Little cute emerald-eyes smarty pants! Or… she could just refuse to help Ginny and act for what was morally right, resulting in both of them marrying some irrelevant people and being heartbroken for the rest of their life.
As the Slytherin princess sought through her thoughts for a good enough reason as to why say yes and help two poor heartbroken souls find their way into happiness, Ginny just sat there with her blue eyes fixed in the auburn Granger. She anxiously waited for Heily to make up her mind. She knew she was right, so Heily had better help her in this mission or else she will sure as hell turn her lame excuse for a boyfriend into a ferret!
"Alright" Heily said abruptly, slightly scaring Ginny and forcing her to remove her even mastermind of plotting turning Malfoy into a ferret. But never mind that, Ginny longed more for Heily's help than turning Draco Malfoy into a ferret. "I'll help you. You're right, I'm not morally correct, but even I know Harry and Hermione are meant to be."
As soon as the amber-eyed girl finished her statement, an excited Ginny jumped over her and tackled her to the ground into a very strange kind of hug.
The situation was perfect. And it didn't even matter that Hermione didn't agree with it, Ginny was 100% sure that if Heily intervened and talked to her older cousin about this, she will eventually give in. Heily had a natural charm for convincing people into whatever she wanted, anyway.
Plus, Hermione couldn't say no to her little cousin. Whatever the reason why-and Ginny had seriously wondered why-she just couldn't. It angered her a bit to think that Hermione could be all harsh on her and tell her off right away, but with Heily she always ended up saying yes. Oh well, they were related, after all. Maybe it was a family thing?
Who cared! Ginny was so excited to move on with her amazing plan, that it didn't even matter how she got Hermione into saying yes.
