"Malfoy truly loves her, Harry. As much as I hate it, he loves her,
and if she likes him, who are we to stop them from going together? I don't
want her to be with him any more than you do, and I would do anything to
protect her, but I also want her to be happy. And I know you do too," Ron
said when he returned from his talk with Malfoy.
"I do want her to be happy, but why did she have to pick him? He's our arch-rival, and has hated all three of us from our first day, and we all have hated him just as much. Why does she pick now to change all that? All I want is to be able to go to the ball and have fun with Cho, but no, that blasted Malfoy has to go and ruin it all."
"There isn't any way we can stop it, so there is no point in trying."
"Well, there is one way," Harry said with a devilish grin.
"I'm not going to like this, am I? I don't even want to know your plan, so don't tell me it" Ron said, with a worried look on his face.
"You might like it. See, the only way to get Hermione to not go with Malfoy, is to find someone else to go with her. Someone she knows. Someone she trusts. Someone like you," Harry said, flashing one of his amazing smiles. Ron looked at Harry in sheer terror. He didn't know what to say.
"Harry, you know I love Hermione like a sister, she's my best friend -("Hmmph") you are too!-but I can't see myself ever with her. I'd do almost anything to help keep her away from Malfoy, but not this. I just can't look at her that way. It would be wrong. Why don't you take her, it's your brilliant plan," Ron said.
"I'm going with Cho! I'm not going to cancel my plans with Cho, so I can keep Hermione away from Malfoy. Besides, she's my friend and I'll never think of her as more than that."
"I guess we can scrap that plan then," said Ron, looking thoughtful. "The only thing we can do is let her go with him and hope for the best."
"I don't know about you, but I'm going to bring my wand and try to stay around her. I don't trust Malfoy, no matter how much you claim that he truly likes her."
"I'll do the same. I need to find myself a date first, though."
"I'll help you," said Harry. He was already going over possible dates for Ron in his head. He could see Ron with Lavender. Though she sometimes could be an airhead, she was mostly okay, and she was pretty enough. "What about Lavender," he suggested to Ron.
Ron thought for a moment. "She's a good choice, I'll go ask her. What should I say?"
"How about 'Will you go to the dance with me?'"
"Good idea! I'll be back soon"
Ron went off to find Lavender, and Harry was left alone with his thoughts. He thought about Cho, the problems with Hermione, and whether or not Lavender would say yes to Ron. He could only hope everything would work out ok.

Sorry this chapter is short! I'll write more soon! I was hoping I could get 5 to 10 more reviews, if that's ok, but I wouldn't say no to more. I'll post the next chapter once I get more reviews. Which means if you all review, I'm gunna have to write more soon. (I've been slacking off, bad, bad Kori) I'm also writing another Harry Potter fanfic, please check it out also. It's under Kori Bischoff too, and it's title is A Hogwarts Mystery. R/r it, please!
