Harry Potter and the Overly

Obsessed R/Hr Fans

By Gillian

Amanda, Gillian and Ginny were deep in conversation about the Harry Potter books and things related. Gillian and Amanda were now explaining fan fiction to Ginny.

"There's loads of it," said Gillian, "Every genre imaginable: romance, adventure, humour, drama, angst, you name it."

"Which ones are the best?" asked Ginny. Gillian and Amanda looked at each other and laughed. "What?" questioned Ginny.

"Well, romance is one of the popular ones and of course, Gillian and I read the R/H stories," explained Amanda.

"R/H?" said Ginny.

"Ron/Hermione, said Gillian, "It's one of the more popular ships."

"This is all new to me remember?" said Ginny, "I have no clue what a ship is!"

"A ship," said Amanda, "Is a pairing, and the person who supports that pairing is a shipper. And there are tons of different ships: Ron/Hermione, Harry/Hermione, (those are the most popular) Harry/you-"

"Me!?" Ginny half yelled, "Where are people getting that?"

"Well, you did have a big crush on him..." said Gillian. This happened to be one of the things she hadn't liked about Ginny.

"Not anymore! That was just silly little girl hero worship!!!" said Ginny, setting the record straight.

"Ok good," said Amanda.

"Ok, carry on," said Ginny, "Sorry about that."

"There's Ron/Lavender, Hermione/Malfoy, you/Malfoy..." Ginny looked utterly disgusted.

Back at Hogwarts, Ron and Hermione were in the library studying. Yes, that's right, Ron was studying. He had told Hermione earlier that day:

"I've decided, Hermione, that one of my new goals is to make you happy. So I'm going to get my marks up! I'm going to study!"

Hermione had liked that.

Now that Ron was trying to live up to his word, he found it harder than he imagined.

"You can do this Ron," said Hermione, smiling. Suddenly, the sound of Professor Dumbledore's voice echoed through the school.

"Would all students please return to their common rooms as quickly as possible. All staff please go to the staff room. Female muggle students please go to the Gryffindor common room and male muggle students please go to the Ravenclaw common room."

"I wonder what this is all about?" said Hermione as they quickly made their way to the common room. They were nearing the portrait hole when a suit of armour flailing it's sword came chasing them from down the corridor. They ran and when they finally the portrait hole, Ron shouted "Grass tarts!" and they dived through the hole.

"Whew! What's going on?" Ron asked Seamus.

"Peeves," he replied, "He's gone and set all the suits of armour wild, don't ask how, the teachers are still trying to figure it out! We're not allowed to leave the tower until McGonagall says we can."

"How ironic," laughed Ron, "I try to study, and we can't go to the library!" Hermione looked at him with raised eyebrows.

"You can still study," she said.

"Oh come on Hermione. We're confined to the common room, we should take advantage of it! Come on," he said taking her by the arm, "Let's play a game of chess!"

"Oh fine!" said Hermione, giving in a lot easier than she would have to anyone else. After all, she was passing up studying for a game of chess. But then again, it was with Ron...he dragged her over to the couch next to the table where they usually played chess.

"I'll be right back," said Ron. He went up to the boys dormitories to get the chess game.

* * * * * *

"So what did you think about that?" Gillian asked Amanda. Ginny wasn't there because she was in her dormitory study for a big potions test the next day.

"We did it," Amanda stated, "And that's all I have to say about it!"

"If only we could pry it out of them!" said Gillian.

"Yeah..." said Amanda, "Wait! I have a brilliant idea! Are you any good at chess?"

"Chess? No, I haven't played since I was around 12 or 13!" replied Gillian, "Why?

"Because you're going to challenge the winner to Ron and Hermione's game! Which will be Ron of course!" said Amanda.

"What? No! I can't! Why can't you?" said Gillian, who had turned white as a ghost.

"Because I've never played a game of chess in my life! At least you've played it before!" Amanda said.

"But-but-I can't! I'd be too afraid! I'd be too nervous!" protested Gillian.

"Oh come on Gillian, you're only playing against Ron!"

"Yeah, exactly! I'll make a fool of myself!"

"It's a game of chess Gillian!" Amanda was finding this very amusing.

"Did I hear someone say they want to play chess?" came a voice from behind them. They turned. It was Ron and Hermione.

"Ron, you've had your ego boosted enough for one night," said Hermione.

"I can never boost it enough!" he said. Hermione just shook her head, "So, game of chess?" Amanda nudged Gillian in the ribs.

"Ow!" said Gillian under her breath, "Um, yeah, I wanted to play, since I've never played wizard's chess before."

"Alright then!" said Ron as he took Hermione's hand, "Let's go!"

"Ron!" Hermione muttered under her breath, "What are you doing? Remember, nobody except Harry is supposed to know yet!" She motioned to her hand in his. Ron just smiled and shrugged as he lead her back to the couch for the game of chess. Amanda and Gillian looked at each other.

"Did you see that?" asked Amanda quietly. Gillian nodded.

"Heh, you can't say much you know, about me being scared, you should have seen your face when Ron came up to us! You turned looked more like a ghost than Moaning Myrtle!" said Gillian

"Fine. We're even then," Amanda replied. They walked over to where Hermione and Ron were sitting and took a place on the opposite side of Ron and Hermione. Ron was playing the white players and Gillian was playing the black ones.

"I haven't played in quite a while, so if I might be a bit rusty," said Gillian.

"Quite alright," said Ron, moving one of his pawns. Gillian went to make her move and noticed her hand was shaking a little from nervousness.

"Are you alright," asked Hermione, eyeing Gillian's shaking hand.

"Oh, um, yes, I'm just a bit cold," lied Gillian.

"Oh, I can fix that!" said Hermione. She took out her wand, "Aestus ortus!" she said, pointing her wand at the fire. The flames instantly rose and a blast of heat came out of the fireplace. All three of them were impressed.

Where did you learn that one?" said Ron.

"Out of the 6th year charms book," said Hermione, as if it were so small feat. Ron just shook his head. Gillian took her move and the game continued. A half hour later, Ron was celebrating his victory once again.

"I didn't stand a chance," said Gillian.

"Nobody does," said Hermione, "Ron's definitely the best player in the school. In fact, in our first year, we had to play our way across a giant chess bo-"

"Hermione, they know. The books, remember?"

"Oh yeah. Sorry," she said.

"So, the books are good, are they?" asked Ron.

"They're awesome," said Amanda.

"Yeah, the fourth one was my favourite so far," said Gillian, but we had no idea any of it was real!"

"Yes, we were so excited when we found out! It was even better than meeting the actors!"

"Actors?" asked Hermione.

"Yeah, they're making movies of the books, there's two done so far."

"Why is the fourth your favourite?" asked Hermione.

"Well...I don't really know," said Gillian, "I guess because it's the most exciting." that wasn't the entire truth. It was partly because of all the Ron/Hermione stuff in it.

"I guess it was," said Ron. Amanda cleared her throat.

"There's something I-we have to ask you guys...because see in the fourth book there was this thing hinted and that J.K Rowling is hinting at..."

"J.K Rowling?" asked Hermione.

"The author," said Amanda. Gillian gave her an odd look.

"What are you doing?!" asked Gillian, out of the corner of her mouth so that Ron and Hermione couldn't hear her.

"Don't worry," she said, "Just play along."

"Well, that thing that she hinted about...it was about you two...that...well, there was something going on between you. We've just been wondering if, you know...I'm so sorry, we'll leave now!" Amanda grabbed Gillian by the hand and began to leave.

"Wait! No! stay!" said Hermione. They sat back down. "You really want to know?"

"Yes! said Gillian, "We wanted to know ever since the fourth book!"

"Ok, well, yes, we're together," said Hermione, "The only other person we've told is Harry though."

"Seriously?!" said Gillian. Ron and Hermione nodded, grinning.

"In your face H/Hers!" said Amanda.

"Huh?" asked Ron and Hermione.

"Oh," laughed Amanda, "Harry/Hermione shippers. People who believe that the books would turn out Harry/Hermione!"

"What?" said Ron and Hermione together.

"Yeah, those poor lost souls!" said Gillian.

"Just one more question," said Amanda.

"Sure," said Ron.

"How did you...I mean, what made you...you know?"

"I don't know," said Ron, "Just after Harry got sick, we kind of just realized, a silent agreement, I guess." Suddenly, two identical redheads appeared from behind the couch.

"Time for Lee to pay up!" said Fred.

"What are you talking about?" said Ron.

"We had a bet going on you two!" said George, "And we won! Let's go get our money Fred! Onwards!"

"Well, I guess the secrets out," said Ron. The portrait hole then opened and Professor McGonagall entered.

"The castle is now safe, you are allowed to leave the common room," she said.

"Oh good," said Hermione, standing, "Let's go for a walk Ron."

"Ok!" Ron stood up to follow her.

"Aw!" said Amanda.

"Finally," said Gillian, "Good work Amanda." She gave her a high five.

And so ends our story and so ends Operation Ron and Hermione. Successful, of course. =D
