It's not just a bet anymore!

Summary: Harry Potter makes a bet with the Weasley brother. They bet him that he can't date Ginny for a whole month. Harry decided to take them up on the bet. But what if Harry winds up falling for Ginny. What happens when Ginny finds out?
Ginny walked into the room. Harry stood up quickly and Ron followed. "Gin let us explain."
"Please Gin, don't be angry."
"It's not like it seems."
"Don't tell Hermione."
Ginny couldn't tell who was talking. She was blocking it out. She brought a frustrated hand to her eyes and wiped the tears away violently. Harry walked towards her and before she could stop herself Ginny had punched him- hard.
Harry could feel the blood gush out of his nose. "Ginny." He said while holding his nose to keep the blood from getting on the floor.
"Don't!" Ginny then turned to her brother and repeated the same act on his. Only she got Ron on his lip. Cutting it and causing blood to gush out. "My own brother." She said, the tear back in her eyes.
"Ginny listen!" Ron yelled.
"Don't you dare Ronald Weasley!" Ginny yelled back at him. "Or I'll make Hermione come up here for you to tell her yourself what you've done."
Ron quieted down quickly. "Gin you can't tell her." His eyes were pleading, but Ginny was feeling merciless at the moment.
"What's to stop me?" Ginny said. "She needs to know the truth. And she will."
"But Gin." Ron started once again.
Ginny stopped him by raising her hand. Ron quickly stopped and watched her cautiously. "I'm not going to tell her Ron. You are!" Ron's jaw dropped. "You owe her that much."
Ginny turned back to the boy who had recently broken her heart. "Gin will you listen to me?" Harry said quickly before she could say anything to him.
"What Harry?" Ginny yelled at him. "What are you going to tell me? That at first it was just a stupid little dare but after spending time with me, and seeing the real me you actually fell for me?" She didn't stop her yelling. She got dangerously close to him.
"Well yeah." Harry said honestly.
He didn't expect her to hit him again, but she did. Her tiny fist collided with his face once again knocking his glasses off his face. It amazed him how such a small person could have so much strength. He looked at her again but her figure was blurry. He couldn't read her face or see her expression. He could only hear her.
"Gin." Ron started again.
Harry could hear Ginny sob, but she fought to control herself. "Who dared you Ronald Weasley?"
Ron looked at his baby sister and felt his heart go out to her. He never meant to cause her all this pain.
"Was it Fred and George?" Ginny asked. When Ron didn't answer her suspicions were confirmed. That's why they were acting all weird earlier.
Ron looked down at his feet. His eyes only shot up when he heard his sister utter three hurtful words. "I hate you."
Ginny turned and left the room, slamming the door behind her. Ron and Harry felt the room shake.
Ginny locked herself in her room and threw herself on her bed. Grabbing her pillow she sobbed uncontrollably.
Hermione ran up the stairs and collided with a solid figure. "Ow." She said softly.
Ron looked down at Hermione. Ginny was right, he needed to be the one to tell her what he did. She deserved that much. "Hermione." He stated coldly.
"I guess you guys didn't want to take Ginny up on her offer." Hermione said her eyes downcast.
"What offer?" Ron asked her.
"Lunch." Hermione stated simply.
"She didn't get around to that." Ron said unconsciously running his hand over his broken lip.
It was only then Hermione noticed that state he was in. "Oh my God, Ron what happened?" Hermione asked reaching out to touch him.
"Ginny happened." Ron stated.
"Why would she do this?" Hermione asked gently rubbing her hand over the broken lip.
"Can we go talk about this somewhere else?" Ron asked her.
Hermione looked surprised. Ron actually wanted to be alone with her. "Yeah sure. Where do you want to go?"
"Let's go to the garden." Ron gently grabbed her hand and led her. He knew very well this might be the last time he would be able to do that.
Harry watched as Ron walked Hermione down the stairs. This would be the end of the trio and he knew it. They both knew it. They never should have played that stupid game with the twins. All hell was about to break loose juts because of some stupid game.
Harry walked over to Ginny's bedroom door. As he was about to knock on the door he heard her sobbing. Sniffling loudly he heard her throw something across the room, hitting the wall. Harry felt the tears well up in his eyes. He had hurt Ginny. That was the last thing he had ever wanted. He loved her. He really did. And now she would never give him another chance.
Hermione followed Ron down to the garden. On their way out Adrian had passed them by and greeted them with a warm smile. Once they reached the garden Hermione turned to Ron and waited for him to speak.
"Maybe you should sit down, Hermione." Ron said motioning to the bench under a willow tree.
Hermione could tell something was wrong. But she couldn't decide what would make him so worried. She sat down on the bench and Ron followed. Turning her body towards him he took her hand in his. "Hermione. I just want you to know that nothing I have ever said to you has been a lie. Ever."
"Okay." Hermione said slowly, she was now starting to become skeptical.
"Well." Ron started fidgeting with his fingers. "The day you came over was the day me and Harry played a game with the twins." Ron looked up at her, Hermione was listening but he could tell she didn't understand. "We played truth or dare." Hermione's eyes furrowed slightly. He knew she thinking of situations in her head. "They dared Harry to... they dared him to date Ginny for a month."
Before Ron could get out another word Hermione interrupted him. "And you let them do that Ron! You know Ginny has always liked Harry."
Ron resisted the urge to continue that conversation but he needed to finish his story. He knew it was either him telling her or Ginny telling her. Either way Hermione would find out. "Hermione can you please just let me finish." Hermione nodded in response but he could tell she was angry. "They also dared me to kiss you." Ron said quickly, hoping that would be all.
"Excuse me?" Hermione said in shock.
"They dared me to kiss you. But listen to me Hermione, they were just making me do something I had always wanted to do just forcing me into it. They sort of gave me the push I needed." Ron waited for her to say something but she never did. "I've always liked you Hermione. Since our fourth year when you went to the Yule Ball with Krum. But I could never bring myself to do anything about it because I didn't think you felt the same way." Hermione shook her head. "I'm sorry Hermione I know it was wrong but I wanted you. Nothing was a lie. It was just a dare. I'm sorry." Ron looked at her.
Hermione rose from the bench. Ron stood up as well. Hermione stuck up her hand and motioned for him to move out of her way. Tears were falling down her face. Ron just moved aside and Hermione left him, without a word. It was the worst feeling in the world. If only she had hit him like Ginny he would feel so much better. But she just up and left.
Now he knew exactly how Harry felt about telling Ginny. Except well he didn't have to tell her face-to-face. She overheard. Ron had to tell Hermione. Maybe that would be better for him in the long run. Seeing Hermione run into the house and slam the door though made him think otherwise.
Could him and Harry really fix what they had just done to the girls?
Ron decided he would die trying instead of letting fate take care of things.
