Chapter 3
Hermione headed back to her house with Gwen, and was promptly greeted by her father.
"Hi, Dad." said Hermione.
"So this is Gwen," said Mr Granger, "Nice to meet you."
"Likewise," replied Gwen, before noticing a bunch of DVDs in front of the TV. "I see you've got The Woman in Black. I've seen that film, it's pretty creepy."
"I haven't seen it yet," said Hermione, "But I'm sure I've seen the actor playing the main character somewhere before."
"You mean Daniel Radcliffe?" replied Gwen. "He's got a new film called What If coming to the cinema soon."
"By the way Dad, what did you do with Gwen's suitcase, and where's Mum?" asked Hermione.
"She's gone out for a coffee with a friend, and your friends suitcase is in the guest room," replied Mr Granger, "She told me to have dinner ready for 6."
"One more thing, I'm inviting a couple of other friends over for a sleepover, could you cook dinner for two more?" asked Hermione.
"Okay,"replied Mr Granger.
Hermione walked over to the phone and called Harry. "Hello Harry, I was wondering if you wanted to have a sleepover tonight."
"Okay Hermione, I'll be over soon," replied Harry.
"One more thing, why not bring Ginny," added Hermione. "We'll be over soon," replied Harry before putting the phone down.
Harry and Ginny arrived around 6. "So Hermione, Ginny tells me you and Ron broke up," said Harry. "Don't worry about it," replied Hermione, "It was never going to last. By the way Ginny, how's Charlie doing on that expedition in Egypt?"
"He's doing fine," replied Ginny, "He sent me a letter just yesterday, so who's she?"
"I'm Hermione's penpal Gwen," replied Gwen before shaking hands with Harry and Ginny. "Nice to meet you."
"Dinner should be ready soon," said Mr Granger, "So do you want to watch a film in the meantime?"
"I've been wanting to see this one for a while," said Hermione, pointing to the Woman in Black. "Okay that's fine with me," said Harry.
"That was so creepy!" yelled Gwen after the film was over. "I know what you mean," replied Hermione, "But I just can't remember where I've seen that actor before. Harry, have you ever seen him before?"
"Not that I know of." replied Harry.
"Dinner's ready," said Mr Granger from the kitchen, "It's Haddock."
"Great Dinner Mr Granger," said Ginny after dinner, "So I think I'll go to bed now."
"Harry can sleep in the spare room and you and Gwen can share my room." replied Hermione.
The girls headed upstairs to Hermione's room and changed into their pyjamas after talking for a while.
"Goodnight," said Hermione, as she got into bed and Gwen joined her. Ginny took out her sleeping bag and slept on the floor.
About half an hour after Ginny fell asleep, Gwen got out of bed and sneaked outside. She went over to the room where Harry was sleeping and "accidentally" tripped, causing a loud bang.
"Ouch!" yelled Gwen in a perfect impersonation of Ginny's voice, "Harry's left this thing outside his room and I've tripped over it. Sometimes I wonder why I go out with him in the first place!"
"Ginny is that you?!" came Harry's voice from the spare room. He sounded confused and slightly upset. Gwen ran back to Hermione's room and got back into bed as quietly as she could.
"Ginny! what was that about?" yelled Harry as he came into the room. "What was what about?" asked Ginny.
"Saying you wonder why you're going out with me!" shouted Harry. "I have no idea what you're talking about," replied an annoyed Ginny.
"What's all this about?" asked Hermione, "I heard you getting up Ginny then you and Harry started arguing."
"I'm telling you I haven't done anything!" shouted Ginny an Harry left the room. Once he was gone and Ginny went back to sleep Hermione and Gwen started talking in whispers. "That was a brilliant plan you came up with," whispered Hermione. "Thanks," replied Gwen, "Wait until you see what I've got planned for tomorrow."
"I look foward to it," whispered Hermione, "good night."
Author's notes; This chapter took a lot longer than expected but it's finally finished. Obviously anybody reading already knows this but Gwen's trying to break up Harry and Ginny to free Harry up for Hermione. I'm going to start working on the next chapter as soon as possible. As always reviews are appreciated!
PS; one review asked if Ben's going to appear in this story. The answer is YES!
