The Thomas Factor

Thank you so much for helping me win my bet : )

Someone told me my story was similar to others. I'm sorry if it is, but I swear it is completely based on a dare and the rest are my ideas. But like they say great minds think alike XD

P.S- Yes Ron will be appearing later on, but not just yet. He might end up with Hermione, then again he might not. Wait and see.


As soon as Ginny entered the Diamond Wing, she heard a shriek before being group hugged by the excited Hermione and Nina.

"Hermione and I were literally staring at the door waiting for you to come in," Nina said with a smile.

Smiling, Hermione nodded and was just about to open her mouth to speak when Pansy waltzed over gracefully, Katrina by her side. "I see the Harrypets have made it; it seems that your tactics do work..."

Katrina laughed, "I agree."

Ginny rolled her eyes and said sweetly, "Well being a Harrypet is better than following a person around by the tail, like a dog begging for food, isn't it Katrina?"

Katrina grew red and was about to swish out her wand when Harry walked in with Sophia. Pansy and Katrina shot looks of hatred towards Ginny before flouncing off to sit down.

"Congratulations once again girls. This part of the show will include individual dates with Harry to various locations within the wizarding community. You will probably be followed by paparazzi from various media as everyone wants to know about "The Boy Who Lived'. Sophia looked down her notepad.

"Oh and one more thing, as there are ten of you, two girls will now be a rooming together in each of the five rooms. The list is over by the noticeboard." Sophia swept out of the room and Harry dipped his head before following suit.

Ginny walked over to the board and looked down at the list of names.

Room 1: Holly Hunter and Carmen Lee

Room 2: Katrina Donaldson and Pansy Parkinson

Room 3: Kimberley Jacques and Valerie Rivers

Room 4: Hermione Granger and Ninette Rose

Room 5: Ginevra Weasley and Sharon Thomas

Brilliant, Dean's sister. She hates my guts even though it was Dean who broke my heart. Ginny thought.

"What's with that face Ginny?" Nina whispered softly from behind her.

"Yea, shouldn't you be glad you aren't with Parkinson?" Hermione asked looking slightly surprised

"You know I rather have Pansy as my roommate, Sharon Thomas hates me 'cos I use to date her brother Dean," Ginny sat down on the red sofa.

"Oh, did you break up with him?" Nina asked.

"Yes and No, he cheated on me with Lavender Brown who was dating my brother Ron. He told me afterwards he liked Lavender more and didn't want to be with me so I slapped him"

"Whoa, that sounds complicated, that Dean doesn't deserve you," Nina replied, looking displeased

"Don't worry Ginny, you can stay most of the time in our room," Hermione patted Ginny on the back.

"Thanks, that's what I was planning to do," Ginny grinned, glad of her friends' support.


The next morning Ginny woke and walked into the bathroom, coming face to face with Sharon who was walking out.

"Good Morning Sharon," Ginny gave her a small smile

"Ginevra when will you be getting back with my brother?" Sharon spoke sharply

"Um… never?" Ginny took a step forward .

"Wrong answer. That's why we, that is to say Dean and I, will stop you from getting any boys until you go back with him." Sharon snarled.

This girl is mental. Ginny ran her hands through her hair. "Sharon Thomas, why do you make it sound as if it was my fault. It was Dean who decided to cheat on me for my brother's girlfriend."

'Yes that's true, but he has done everything possible to make up for it," Sharon glared at her with fiery eyes. "You should see him now; he just mopes around all day. It was only you who made him happy and I insist you get back with him."

Ginny gave up. Taking her clothes and her toiletry bag, she walked out of her room and went next door. "Good Morning Nina and 'Mione." she sang out.

Nina looked up from her suitcase and grinned, "Hey Gin, Sharon problems?"

"Duh, she's crazy." Ginny began to change into her clothes.

"Listen to this." she tossed Nina the Extendable Recordable Ears before walking into the bathroom to brush her teeth.

When she came out, she saw that Hermione had woken and was frowning at the Extendable Recordable Ears.

"Ginny you should report Sharon; she has broken Rule 2 of the True to Your Heart code which states that no one should be threatened or hurt and that…"

Ginny butted in. 'Whoa Hermione, you sound like a textbook. I know I should report her but I think she just wants to protect her brother."

"Here's a suggestion, knock her out, obliviate her and send her home," Nina said in a serious tone.

"WHAT? Ninette Rose, you could be sent to Azkaban for that, also you will be breaking Rule 2 like Sharon Thomas."

Nina giggled before throwing a pillow at Hermione. "Hermione Granger, sometimes I wonder if you understand humour."

Suddenly there was a tap on the window. Nina rushed over to open it and three owls flew over to their owners.

"Hello Flechette." Ginny said taking the magazine Flechette was carrying. She ruffled Flechette's feathers before the owl flew out the window.

She saw that Nina and Hermione had an identical magazine, and, flicking to the entertainment section, she began to read:

Ginny closed the magazine and stared at Hermione. "You went to Hogwarts?"

Hermione nodded. "Yes of course I did, why?"

Ginny grinned. "I did too, but I don't think I ever saw you. Did you know a boy called Ronald Weasley?"

"Oh yes, Ron, that idiot who was… Sorry," Hermione stopped.

"Don't worry; I agree Ron is a prat sometimes."

"Hey 'Mione you're nearly the same age as Harry, doesn't that mean you were in his year?" Nina asked.

"Yes I was, but no one ever saw him much, he had his own private room and such." Hermione shrugged.

A loud voice came over the speakers. "Girls, it is time for breakfast. Come immediately."

The three girls looked at each other and for some odd reason, they burst out laughing.
