Chp. 9 The Plan
"Well, alright. I'm going to bed." Ron said. He, Harry and Hermione had been working on Transfiguration for the past hour. Harry and Hermione were sitting at opposite ends of the room avoiding each other at all costs. The only reason they were down there with each other was because Ron asked them to. Before going up to bed, Ron walked over to Hermione and kissed her on the lips. "Goodnight love. See you in the morning." Hermione smiled. "Ok.....I love you." Ron smiled back. "Love you, too." Harry scowled at this, but only Hermione had noticed. Only when Ron was in the dorms and safely out of earshot, Hermione started to speak. "You know, just because me and you didn't work out doesn't mean you have to try and ruin my other relationships." Harry started to speak in an angry tone. "Who said it didn't work out? You made it not work out." Hermione was annoyed. "You know Harry, I said I was sorry! You have no reason to get all pissy about this!" Harry was irritated by this. "Your right. I have no reason to get pissy......Oh wait.......Your dating my best friend, you cheated on him with me and then you cheated on both of us with our worst enemy? Never mind, that IS a reason to get pissy!" Hermione was about to respond, but she remembered the Plan: Win Harry back by heart, and Draco back by seduction. Hermione started to speak sympathetically. "I'm sorry. I guess my nerves just got the best of me. I didn't mean to snap at you like that. Are we still friends?" Harry stared at her for a few seconds. It sounded too fake to believe, but he responded anyways. "Friends?" He laughed, but it sounded like he was a little nervous. "You do remember that we slept together, right? And you remember how much I loved you? Hermione, our friendship was ruined a long time ago. I don't think I can ever be "just friends" with you again." And with that, Harry gathered his things and went to bed.
Hermione was up for a while thinking about her plan. Harry wants a sensitive girl. Draco wants a girl who will give him pleasure. I can do that. It's having both at the same time that's the hard part. Hermione had been trying to think of a way to sneak around for a few days now. And now, it was going to be even harder since she just given Harry another reason to hate her even more. That's when she realized what her plan should really be. I need to find out who I love. Yes that's it. And I must find out which one truly loves me. And so, Hermiones plan was officially set.
While Hermione blue-printed her plan, Harry lay awake in his bed, having a discussion with Ron. Since it was the Christmas holidays, there wasn't anyone else in the dorms. "But Ron, that isn't the point, Krum flattened Peru, but that was because Peru lost Ambliyus. They can't play without him. They'll never play at the cup." Harry was trying to make his point about the Quidditch Finals by arguing with Ron. "But Harry, they still have Mavarine. He's a great seeker." But Harry interrupted him before Ron could continue. "Ron, the only thing that Mavarine needs to seek is a brain." They both laughed and the room went quiet before Harry spoke again. "Ron?" Ron was letting out as yawn as he answered Harry. "Y-y-yes?" Harry was debating weather to ask Ron the question he was going to. Harry's thoughts were interrupted by Ron. "Hello? Harry? Were you going to ask me something?" Harry decided he would ask. "Do you....." He hesitated than went on. "Do you really love Hermione?" Ron was kind of surprised by this, but did not hesitate to answer. "Of course I do. She's everything a guy could ask for. Every time I see her........I think of how lucky I am. And I know she would never hurt me." Ron had a smile on his face. This made Harry extremely uncomfortable and Ron obviously saw it. "Sorry. I didn't mean to make you feel uncomfortable. I know how you feel when I talk about Hermione and me." But that wasn't what was making him uncomfortable. It was the fact that Ron thinks Hermione would never hurt him, when she already has.
*Sorry this was so short. There's no cliffy, and I know lately i have been going a little off topic, but once you get to the later chapters, it's a lot harder to sort out your ideas! I hate that!!**
