I know, I know. I am a very bad person. I didn't a new chapter for what? Two months? My mother scolded me for writing the previous chapter as I was unhealthy, and I was not allowed to see television for 1 whole week! Can you believe it? And I had to catch up at school as I missed almost 3 weeks and I had my assessments, which was another problem.

I know- I cannot make excuses for being late and I always come up with excuses. But guys, I am in India. Studies are supposed to be my life. I should not waste my time in writing fanfictions. Although my parents are not against this, my teachers give us so much homework that, you cannot waste a second in breathing. Oh! Puh-lease! Give me a break!

Well now to my fanfiction. I had to rewrite this chapter because I couldn't really think of what to write in this. I wanted to break up Hermione and Ron's relationship but as I kept on writing, I thought, why not keep you in suspense for a little longer, because I need a little more time forming the image on my mind. So yeah! And as for Ron, let me be frank. I like Ron Weasley a lot. I don't love him but I like him a lot. But I don't really like to ship him and Hermione together. I am a Dramione shipper. I like Ron as an individual character, not with Hermione. And as for why making him a villain in this story, I have an answer for that too. I wanted to expand my mind. I wanted to be able to make the good characters bad and the bad ones good. In my pervious one-shot fanfiction "Midnight Confessions", I made Ron a good guy. I may make Harry Potter a villain in my next fanfiction, or Hermione for the matter of fact. All I need is a situation.

And sorry for the babble. Let's get on with my story…

Chapter 6

Harry's POV

I had the perfect plan (maybe not perfect, only Hermione can make perfect plans). All we needed to do is make sure Hermione witnesses Ron cheating on her and she will break up with him. I know I should be feeling guilty for betraying a best friend but this Ron was not the Ron whom I met on the train. This is not the Ron who was there by my side, always. This is not the Ron who helped me bring Voldemort down. No, this Ron is the one who wants more of everything, money, fame, girls, and more fame! I am not betraying a friend, rather I am helping my best friend, Hermione Jean Granger, the one who helped me do my homework, without whom I don't think I would have passed my exams, the one who saved my arse a million times, who stood by my side no matter what happened and still does, get rid of her pathetic boyfriend. I am actually hoping after she leaves him, he will change.

I hope this plan works. Or Ginny is going to kill me!

I asked Ginny, Draco, Pansy and Blaise Zabini to meet me at Grimmauld Place. Pansy and Blaise are not that bad, actually they are not bad at all. Pansy has of course changed a lot after the war and owns her own fashion magazine, while Blaise has his own company and Malfoy's too to manage. Malfoy didn't want to inherit the Malfoy Company, so he gave to Blaise, temporarily. I think he plans on taking over it after he retires from his Auror job.

It's about to be 5:30 pm and no one has arrived yet. I told them to meet me at 5:30, but I expected them to be here before the time. Just then I heard the Floo and went to the living room to check who arrived. It was Mr. and Mrs. Zabini.

"Hey Harry" Blaise addressed me. I went and shook his hand.

"Blaise", I said.

"Harry, it's been so long" Pansy greeted me in a friendly tone and hugged me. If someone would have told me that I will be hugging Pansy now, around 15 years ago, I would have died laughing. As I was saying Pansy is a good person. I hugged her back.

"Pansy! How are you?" I greeted her back.

"Fine, tell me about you."

"Oh, perfectly fine, thank you" I answered.

"Oh, stop steeling my wife Potter. You have got your own!" Blaise complained and pulled Pansy to him.

"Language Blaise! There is a child here." I heard Ginny say. I didn't notice Ginny coming through the door with young Teddy. As soon as she put him down, he ran towards me and leaped to hug me. I caught him in mid-air and hugged him back. He changed his hair to blue today. I saw Blaise put his hands up in surrender as Ginny glared at him playfully, but hugged both, Pansy and him.

"Hey buddy. How was your day?" I asked Teddy. And he kept on talking about his day in the school. After a good five minutes, he finished and went into the arms of Aunt Pansy, who played with him as Blaise asked him how his day was, to which he answered again happily. I smiled at them and turned towards Ginny. She was looking at them. I walked behind her and hugged her from the back.

"We are so lucky to have Teddy." Ginny said.

"We are." I answered back to her and turned her to give her a kiss. "And I am also lucky to have you in my life." I said and kissed her again.

"Ewww. Stop it" I heard Teddy say and laughed. We all were laughing until we heard someone come from the Floo again. Lo and behold, My Draco Malfoy has come.

"Took you long" I said. I had left him with paperwork today, which he hated. He didn't look very happy.

"It's because of you Potter. You could have just done it own your own." He protested back. I made a face at him.

"Very mature of you Harry." He said and sat on a comfortable sofa. "So what did you call us here for?" he asked.

I looked at all of them and answered with a huge grin. "We are going to make Hermione break up with Ron"

I wish I had a camera to capture the picture of their priceless expressions!

1 HOUR LATER…

"Are you sure this plan will work Harry?" Blaise asked with a doubtful expression.

"I am positive." I answered him, even though I was not 100% sure. I sometimes wish I was, like Hermione is always.

"And what if she comes to know?" Draco asked.

"She won't. No one other than the people in this room knows about this. And I am sure no one will tell her about this. Right?" I asked them.

"I won't" Ginny answered. She was playing with Teddy, while listening to us.

"I won't" Blaise and Pansy answered together and grinned at each other.

"That leaves you, Harry." Draco stated and raised his eyebrows.

"It's you and me." I corrected him. "I won't tell her and you know that. The question is Draco-" I paused a bit. "-will you keep your mouth shut?"

He looked at me in surprise, then quickly recovered and said, "Of course I won't. Why do you guys make me the bad guy every time? I know that I look very handsome, just like most bad guys do and sometimes I can be a little insensitive and…" He looked at us and saw us looking pointedly at him. "…let's just say that I am not the bad guy for now." He said and shut his mouth.

"That's settled then. Let's get on with it." I said with a smirk.

Draco's POV

I Flooed to Daphne's house and saw her sitting on her favorite armchair, reading some magazine. I bet it's the magazine Pansy owns, after all they were BFFS. She saw me and smiled before coming to me and giving me a warm hug.

"Draco, Draco, Draco! How are you my friend?" She greets me.

"I need a favour Daph." I said in an urgent tone.

"You do now, do you?" She said and went back to sit in her previous position.

"Yes. I need you to send an expensive hooker, who can also date, to Ronald Weasley's private apartment today. I said. She suddenly stood up.

"You WHAT?" she asked, bewildered.

"I want you to sen-"

"I heard you the first time." She cut me off.

"Why did yo-?" I started to ask again in fake innocence.

"You very well know why Malfoy!" she said with a firm voice. I smiled a bit but when she didn't I went back to my serious face and waited for her to start questioning.

"Why me?" she asked

"Because you are the one who knows all about expensive hookers." I said in a matter-of-fact tone.

"Just because I am a lesbian doesn't mean I know the names of hooker." She argued.

"Come on Daphne. Everyone knows that you enjoy hookers, especially the expensive ones. All you have to do is call one anonymously and give her his address." I said.

"Why?" She asked.

"I already tol-"

"What I am asking, you idiot, is why do you want to send a hooker to that Weasley's house? I know you don't like him, but I am sure this is not your idea of torture. What's happening?"

"I am not supposed to tell anyone" I said and sat down on her comfy chair. I easily get tired of standing. Seeing me sit she sat down too.

"Then I won't do it." She said in a sing-song tone.

"Oh, come on Daph."

"Nope"

"Please?"

"Na-huh"

"Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeease?"

She taped her finger to her chin as if thinking. After she decided she said – "No"

I got frustrated and gave up. There was no wining against girls. "Okay, I give up. I'll tell."

She sat up straight and listened to me carefully as I told her everything. Her expression changed from playful to damn serious.

"So why didn't Pansy come to me?" she asked seriously, as if hurt that she didn't.

"Because she didn't want to feel guilty of making you send a hooker to someone." I said nonchalantly.

She nodded. "I'll do it." She said and I almost jumped out of the comfy chair. "Only because I like Granger and it will save her from a heart break. I hate when girls have a broken heart." She said the last part mostly to herself. You see Granger had this thing about her, whoever talked to her even for some time, they start liking her. Even Slytherins like Pansy, Blaise, Theo and Daphne. She had her own special charm.

Damn Granger and her charm!

While I was thinking Daphne had already got up and was sending an anonymous letter to the hooker with Red-face's private address. She gave her owl some treat and sent her. She then came to me.

"Your work is done." She said with a small smile. I hugged her tight.

"Thank you." I said and left her house in a hurry.

5 Min Later…

"YOU TOLD DAPHNE OUR PLAN?" Harry shouted at me. I closed my ear with my hand to prevent my eardrum to get damaged. Here I am, back at Grimmauld Place.

Listening to Harry James Potter shout.

"She won't tell anyone Harry. You are just over-reacting." I said.

"Yes Harry. I will talk to her and I bet on our marriage-" Pansy said pointing at herself and Blaise, "-that she won't tell anyone."

"Hey!" Blaise exclaimed. While we all were laughing, Blaise was glaring at us but gave up and joined us.

"So, now that she knows about our plan, why not include her?" Harry suggested.

"That would be great." Ginny said with a big smile. "And don't they say, 'The more the merrier!'"

"So, let's get on with the plan!" Blaise exclaimed and we all agreed.

THE NEXT DAY…

Hermione's POV

"Hey Ginny." I greeted Ginny, entering my office, with a huge smile. It was my break, and I was coming on my way when the receptionist told me that she was waiting in my office.

"Hey 'Mione. How is your day going?" She asked.

"Quite good, actually. What about you? How was your practice?" I asked her, sitting in my chair.

"Tiring." She said with a sigh. "I have a 5 hour practice tomorrow."

"Aww. I'll pick Teddy and bring him here. He can spend his time in the playroom. How does that sound to you?" I asked her.

"Can I just express how much I love you?" She said with a huge grin.

"I think I am fine without you doing it." I said, laughing. "So any reason for you to visit me?"

"Yes, actually. I wanted to know whether you are free tonight. Harry, Draco, me Pansy, Balise, and Daphne are going for dinner. You have to come."

"Well, the offer is really tempting but unfortunately have dinner plans with Ron. Sorry!" I said apologetically. Her eyes went wide for a second. Ron and I had gotten over our fight a long time ago. Even though I remember him calling me a Mudblood, and it still pains me, but I love him and he loves me. That's all that matters. But I am sure I'll never forget that incident.

"Well then, we cannot really disturb you can we?" She said with a smile. It was a little weird, but I din't press. "I should get going then. Don't want to waste your lunch break now, do I?" She said with a wink and went out the door. That was weird. That didn't really happen often, but I let it go.

I am hungry!

Ginny's POV

WHAT THE HELL IS HAPPENING? Ron and 'Mione are NOT supposed to go for dinner. This was not the plan. 'Mione is supposed to come for dinner with us and Ron should be somewhere else… doing stuff. I had already called for an emergency meeting. I threw the floo powder and muttered 'Grimmauld Place' and whoosh. I am at Grimmauld Place.

Everyone is already waiting for me. Harry was obviously pacing around, but as soon as he heard me coming, he must have stopped. Draco was casually lying on the sofa, as if not caring. We all know that he is putting up an act. He must be stressed out inside. Blaise was nowhere to be soon, so he must be in the kitchen, stuffing his mouth with food. Pansy and Daphne were talking to each other. More like whispering. As soon as I entered, they stared at me for a moment and started firing questions at me. Blaise had come out in the drawing room, hearing the commotion. I just stared at them with a blank expression and after a few minutes they stopped, and stared at me with the same blank expression.

"What is happening mum?" Draco asked after a few minutes of silence and blank expressions. It was a weird pet name but I got used to it. Everyone says that I act like his mother. I do NOT. It's just… he is like my brother. A younger brother.

I told them everything. How 'Mione is going on a dinner with Ron, and how it was not as we planned. They all started saying something, at the same time. They were shouting about how this plan was never gonna work out and how stupid this plan was.

"SHUT UP!" I shouted with my wand touching my neck lightly. This got everyone's attention. I knew what happened and I also know how to solve it.

"It is obvious that Ron forgot about hid dinner with Hermione. All we have to do now is remind that he has a dinner with her, and then he will cancel his plan with 'Mione. 'Mione obviously will be sad and will come with us to dinner. This will just add a little more fuel to her anger. I told them my plan, really fast.

"That is… great, but how will you remind him that he has a dinner with 'Mione?" Harry asked me.

"I won't. You will, darling'" I said with a big smile. He looked taken aback and started going pale.

20 minutes later…

Everyone is still in Grimmauld Place. Pansy, Blasie, Daphne and I have no problem staying, but Draco and Harry's break got over about 10 minutes ago and they are still here. But as they were really good Aurors, I don't think they will have any problem. It's been 15 minutes since Harry went to Ron and he still hasn't arrived. All he had to do was say 'hello' to him and just talk about random things, when suddenly he has to bring up how sad it was that he and 'Mione could not join us for dinner as they both have plans already. It shouldn't have taken that long.

Whoosh!

We all tuned toward the fireplace to witness Harry come back. As soon as he was on his foot, he ran towards me and kissed me. I was surprised at first but kissed him back. I heard the others groan and complain. I smiled into the kiss and broke off for some air. We rested our foreheads against each other.

"It's done. He remembered." He said with a smile. I was so happy, that I hugged him hard. Everyone started to laugh but Blaise, being Blaise interrupted.

"Are you sure Harry? I mean what if he didn't make any other appointments?"

"He did. The hooker I contacted told me she had made an appointment with her for tonight." Daphne said.

"And when I told him about the dinner. The color from his face drained and shifted the topic and ended our conversation really fast. So… he is going to cancel his plans." Harry said in a sing- song tone.

Blaise looked pleased and laughed with us. At last, our plan is going according to the plan.

Ta-dah! I know there wasn't much in this chapter. I just wanted you to be prepared for the GRAND PLAN, which is not that grand. It's just the base and I seriously wanted Hermione to be super angry. So angry that her straight hair will turn to their usual bushy form. And I thought that there should be some third person who should continue the story forward, so there come Ginny and Harry. I would love suggestions and I am open for critiques.
