I don't own Harry Potter

Molly Weasley sat in her kitchen as she watched her family eat breakfast. Her eyes scanned all the faces and stopped when she looked at the boy she thought of as a son, Harry Potter. He was sitting next to his best friend, Hermione Granger, and they were deep in some kind of discussion. Though it didn't look like they were saying much. But the Weasley matriarch knew that the two teens were saying more than enough without even uttering a single syllable. Yes, the two were in love with one another even if they haven't realized it yet. And it was up to Molly the Matchmaker.

/Scene Break/

Harry and Hermione were in deep conversation after breakfast about how'd they live during their search for Voldemort's Horcruxes. Ron was supposed to be a part of this talk, but begged off. He wanted to spend as much time to enjoy flying and other activities before they have to go hunting.

"So what we need is a tent big enough for the three of us and not to mention enough food for us too" Hermione said.

"We might want to buy extra food Mione, you know how Ron eats" Harry said.

Hermione nodded as she jotted that note in her personal journal. The journal was spelled that only she and Harry could read and write in it. If someone looked at it would look like it was a recipe book.

"Harry, Hermione could you come in here for a moment" Molly called.

Harry and Hermione looked at one another before coming inside to see what Molly wanted.

"What is it Mrs. Weasley, do you need help with anything?" Hermione asked.

"I would like to talk to you both about something very important" Molly said.

Harry and Hermione looked at one another then sat down.

"What is it Mrs. Weasley?" Harry asked.

"I've noticed how close you two are getting" Molly said.

Both Harry and Hermione were tense at this since they both knew of Molly's dream plan of one big Weasley family. Now Harry did date Ginny last year, but he broke up with her after Dumbledore's funeral, partly because he didn't want her to get hurt. But mainly because he didn't have any real feeling towards the youngest Weasley. Hermione knew that Ron fancied her, but had no feelings for the boy at all, only friendly ones and those were meager.

"Now I know what you're thinking and I want to set your minds at ease. I know now that pushing you two toward my children would be foolhardy" Molly said.

This shocked both Harry and Hermione.

Molly enjoyed looking at the stunned expression on the faces of two children she thought of as her own.

"I know that you dated Ginny during school Harry, but I couldn't sense any love between you two. And Hermione, I know that you and Ron would fight even more if you two ever got together" Molly said knowingly.

Harry and Hermione were still stunned.

"I see that you two have a very close connection with one another. A connection that many magical couples wish to have. I can't tear that apart, so I'm going to help you instead" Molly said.

"What do you mean Mrs. Weasley?" Hermione asked curiously.

"I'm going to help you realize your feelings for one another" Molly said bluntly.

This of course caused Harry and Hermione to spout off that they were just friends and nothing more. Molly listened to all this, but didn't believe for one second. She saw how the two interacted with one another and even now they were finished each other's reasons why they were only friends and not couple material. The Weasley matriarch found it quite amusing and thought that they could give her twins a run for their money on this twin speak.

"Enough" Molly said sternly.

Harry and Hermione closed theirs mouths.

"Now I know that this is a scary prospect, but if you two would just open your minds to the idea then you'd realize that you're right for one another" Molly said.

Harry turned to Hermione and saw her biting her bottom lip. He knew she was thinking really hard, working out the pros and cons of them dating and whether it would right or not. For Harry himself, he knew the answer sort of. He knew that he'd want Hermione by his side no matter what. That was a given and it also meant that any girl that wanted to get involved with him would have to concede that Hermione had a permanent spot and couldn't be moved.

Hermione was weighing each option very carefully. She knew that she'd always want Harry in her life. She had devoted so much time in helping him get through whatever problems he had that not even Merlin himself could hold her back from Harry. With that in mind she began to think of how it would work out between them if they started dating and found that the answer was quite simple. They didn't really need to change a thing. They've been acting like a couple for a long time and all they had to add was some kissing and hand holding, which wouldn't be very difficult.

Hermione turned to Harry and he knew she had her answer.

"Shall we take the plunge?" Harry asked Hermione.

"Definitely" Hermione said smiling.

Molly smiled at the two teens. She was very happy for them.

End

A/N: a very short one that I did since I wanted to do at least one that made Molly look good for once.
