Chapter Two: The Plan

Harry and Ron quietly walk up the stairs. They hadn't realized how late it was until the muggle clock in their living room chimed one. Harry felt that Ron wanted to say something important but never did instead he motioned for Harry to follow him upstairs. So there they were walking up the old long staircase, Harry was always amazed by the fact that the staircase seemed like it stood alone and only had one stair that squeaked, the third one from the top. *Wow this staircase is long* and Harry continued to go over the house in his mind. Finally the reached the top skipping the third step out of habit. They turned the corner and went to Ron's room. They both fell on their beds because time had finally caught up with them. Harry was almost asleep when a loud laugh broke through the silence of the house. The laugh was unmistakably Hermione's. Harry and Ron both sat up to listen and they heard Ginny say, "SHH you'll wake the whole house." With that Harry and Ron quietly laughed.

"Harry?"

"Yeah." Harry looked at Ron expectantly.

"Hmm uh have you ever like had a friend and then you like saw her, differently one day, say you had seen her almost everyday for years but then one day you saw her like really saw her" He looked down playing with a thread that had come loose on his bed, hoping Harry understood.

Harry smiled thinking that Ron knew he liked Hermione. "Yeah I know exactly what you mean. Why?" There was no way he was saying it he would make Ron say it.

Ron smiled hugely, thanking God that his best friend understood and knew him as well as he hoped. "So your okay with it then"

Still refusing to say it Harry calmly said "Okay with what?''

Ron went back to playing with the loose thread "My crush on Mione."

Harry looked up quickly and was shocked but hid it well with a huge smile got up and hugged Ron "Of course I am happy for you I am happy you finally realized it you twit, now how are we going to get you together."

Ron thankful that Harry was happy stopped playing with the thread and looked at his happy friend "I dunno"

Harry sat there thinking * what am I going to do Ron loves Hermione, Ron is going to have her, Ron is going to be able to touch her, Ron is going to be able to kiss her* he cringed.

"Whats wrong"

"Oh nothing, just trying to think of a way to get you two together, I am sure Mione likes you too it's just a matter of getting her to confess." Now Harry had found a loose thread and was twirling it around his fingers. *They really would be great together better than she and I, but I want her.* Visions of Ron and Hermione talking and laughing started swimming through his head. Before he knew it he was ripping the thread of the bed creating a hole, which he now was fiddling with unknowingly. Harry knew he wanted her but he also knew Ron had more of a chance, she deserved someone like Ron. She deserved more than he could give, she would be happier with Ron. He felt his eyes water a bit but blinked them back before they had a chance to roll down his face.

"Um Harry are you ok?" Ron was looking at him nervously.

Harry looked up and looked at the hole he had made. "Err yeah sorry about that I was just trying to err figure out how yall could be alone"

Ron looked at Harry "So um do you have any ideas.

Great now I have to get them together, well it's the least I can do they are both my friends. Think Harry think "Well we are going to Diagon Alley tomorrow so it should be easy enough to get you guys alone. First we have to separate you from your mom."

"How are we going to that?" Ron asked excitedly.

"Well" Harry strained his mind for ideas "we could say we want to go get butterbear so us four, Ginny would have to come along so that I won't be alone when you and Mione leave. Then you could say you want to go to the bookstore for like some quidditch book and I can say I don't want to and ask Ginny to stay with me."

There was something in the way that Harry said Mione that struck Ron as weird but he just ignored it "That is a great plan, but what am I supposed to do once we're alone.

*Ron please this is hard enough* Harry felt like crying he was hooking up his best friend and the girl he liked this was hard. Really hard. He started playing with the stuffing which was coming out of the hole he had made in the blanket. He was taking out all of the pain on the stuffing pulling it out slowly but forcefully. He heard Hermione laugh again and smiled, then frowned. He suddenly realized what he was doing to the poor blanket and stopped now he was just looking at his hands. "I don't know Ron do what you normally do just I don't know more gentle or something" what would I do if it was me "just be normal but take any chance you can to touch her or help her open all the doors and if she drops anything, and knowing Hermione she will, pick it up"

Ron was a bit confused but thanked Harry anyway. "Thanks, err its really late now I think we should go to bed now."

Harry lay down so Ron couldn't see and ran everything through his head. As he thought about what he was doing he realized how much it hurt and that pain he had when he saw them together was there just ten time worse. He silently cried himself to sleep, knowing he was doing the right thing. He really loved them both.
