AN: Cheez Doodles are wicked good! But they kinda make the keyboard orange... But anyway, I don't own anything... It all belongs to whomever it belongs to! :)

"I really think this will work!" Lavender said, as she, Parvati, and Hermione gathered their things up and left the library to go get some dinner.

"I still don't totally see why Hermione doesn't just tell Harry that she likes him..." Parvati wondered aloud as they walked down the corridor.

"Because, two reasons. One, this way is much more fun, and Harry will know that we helped! And two, even if Hermione DOES tell Harry, I highly doubt anything will happen between the two of them, because both Harry and Hermione haven't had much experience with matters of the heart, and if the whole school knows about it, something will definitely happen!" Lavender said, talking as if Hermione wasn't walking right beside her.

Hermione decided to ignore Lavender's comment about her not knowing anything about matters of the heart. The truth was, Hermione didn't want to tell Harry how she felt. She wanted him to make the first move; she was always insecure when it came to boys. Even with Viktor; he was the one who did the asking out. Plus, she wasn't totally positive that Harry liked her. She would have to wait for Harry's response to the whole game thing.

************************************************

At dinner, Hermione sat down next across the table from Harry and Ron. "Hey, guys, what's up?" Hermione asked as she began to dig into her food.

"Nothing much, what about you?" Harry said as he too began to eat.

"Hermione, what were you doing in the library all afternoon with Lavender and Parvati?" Ron cut in, reaching across the table for some potatoes.

"Oh, just studying. I promised them I would help them with their transfiguration homework," Hermione lied, as she passed the potatoes to Ron, who was reaching over her arm.

"Oh," was Ron's response as he accepted the food and shoveled it into his face and slapped some on to the plate.

Hermione kept silent through the rest of dinner. Wondering what Harry was thinking as she absentmindedly ate her food. She would start to fidget and blush whenever Harry looked in her direction.

*************************************************

Hermione, Lavender, and Parvati were all in the seventh year girl dormitory discussing the plan further for getting Hermione and Harry together.

"Okay, so this is the deal. Parvati, you ask Harry and Ron to help you with a project for Muggle Studies. Since neither of them takes the class, they won't know that you're lying. Hermione, if Harry or Ron ask you about the project, just say that Parvati is doing it for extra credit, so she can pass the class or something, okay?" Lavender said as she sat on her bed, her arms crossed in a professional manner.

"Okay," Hermione replied. She too was sitting on Lavender's bed, her legs crossed in Indian-style.

"Wait, so I have to pretend I'm flunking Muggle Studies so that Hermione and Harry can get together?" Parvati said indignantly.

"Well, yes. But you're not doing that great in the class anyway. Besides, only Harry and Ron would think that..." Lavender replied, sitting up straighter.

"All right..." Parvati said as she sat on the bed next to Hermione. She had been previously pacing the length of the room.

"Hermione and I will make the background for the stage, and you already asked Professor Dumbledore if we can do this next Saturday during dinner, right?" Lavender said, turning her head to face Hermione at the last bit.

"Right, he said it would be perfectly fine," Hermione said as she stretched her legs out straight.

"Lavender, tell me again about what the game is like, I forget. And if Harry asks me, I kind of need to know," Parvati asked. She hadn't been paying attention the first time Lavender went over it.

"Okay, the game goes as follows. There are three rounds. In the first round, you ask Ron questions about Harry. Such as, what is his favorite quidditch player, his favorite class, ya, know stuff best friends are suppose to know. Then, round two, you ask Harry the same questions. If he responds the same as Ron did, they get a point. If he responds differently, Ron gets something done to him, because he obviously doesn't know his best friend that well. Then comes round three, the most important round," Lavender said as she stood up and began to pace the room quite like Parvati had done earlier. "Parvati, you say it's the ultra-bonus-lightning round. That would get Ron and Harry both excited. This is when we have Harry admit his feelings for Hermione. Parvati, you ask Ron if either he or Harry has ever had a crush on their best friend. Say best friend, not Hermione. So that Harry won't get suspicious. Then, if Ron says Harry does, we ask him who. If he says Hermione, then a siren will go off and the words "She likes you too" will be displayed for Harry's eyes only, above the audience, and Hermione can go on stage and they can kiss or what ever. If Ron doesn't say who, we just move on, because we don't want them to get suspicious. But, if Ron says that he, meaning Ron himself, has, ask him to elaborate. If Ron says Hermione, ask Harry how he feels about it. If he says like, someone else or no one, then just move on... We can think of what to do about that later, because right now, I'm really tired. So I suggest we all go to bed," Lavender said.

The two other girls got off the bed and went to their own. They all went to sleep pretty quickly. Parvati dreamt about that cute new sweater she saw at Hogsmeade, Lavender about how famous she is going to be someday, and Hermione about that certain green-eyed boy sleeping just a few doors down.

*************************************************

The next morning, Hermione met Harry and Ron at breakfast.

"Hey Mione," Harry said as she sat down between her two male best friends.

"Hau," Ron said, his mouth full of pancakes.

"What?" Hermione said in reply.

"I said, 'hey,'" Ron said after he swallowed his food.

"Oh, hey. To both of you," Hermione said as she poured herself some pumpkin juice.

"Hermione! I left so early, Parvati and I came up with an idea for the last bit of our, um, plan..." Lavender said as she hurried over to Hermione, but then realized that both Harry and Ron were sitting next to her.

Ron gave Harry a look that said, 'what are they talking about?'

"Really? Cool. You'll have to tell me about it in Muggle Studies. Speaking of which, I better go up to my dorm, I left my books there and class will start in a few minutes," Hermione said as she gulped down the last bit of her juice and stood up to leave.

"Hey, can I talk to you guys before Care of Magical Creatures today?" Parvati said to the boys as she leaned in toward them.

"Sure," Ron said. Wondering why she couldn't talk to them just now.

"Great, I'll see you then!" Parvati said as she and Lavender left the Great Hall.

*************************************************

The professor was droning on about how muggles use blenders when Lavender taped Hermione on the shoulder.

"What?" Hermione whispered as she turned to her left.

"This is our idea.  If Ron says he doesn't like anyone, or he says he likes some random girl, we just leave it at that and continue on with the game. The next question is Harry's. We ask him if he can give him a truth potion so we can ask him something and he can't lie. If he says yes, then we give it to him and ask him who he has a crush on. When he says you, you go up on stage and tell him how you feel. If he doesn't let us, which he probably won't," Lavender got cut off as the professor taped her shoulder and told her to be quiet and pay attention. Parvati snickered and pretended to take notes on the usage of a blender.

*************************************************

Parvati met up with Harry and Ron before Care of Magical Creatures class.

"Hey, guys!" she greeted them cheerfully.

"Hi, Parvati, what did you want to talk to us about?" Harry said in reply.

"Well, I have a project for Muggle Studies, and I was wondering if you two could help me," Parvati said sweetly.

"Sure," Ron replied.

"What is it?" Harry inquired.

"Well, it's a game show type thing. Like on Muggle televisions. I'm not sure of the name of it yet though, because I haven't thought of one. But it involves having two best friends, such as yourselves, and asking questions about the other. Like, I would ask Ron what your favorite color is and stuff of that sort. Then I would ask Harry what is favorite color is, and if they match, you guys get a point. Then there is another round and there's like, a bonus thing at the end depending on your score," Parvati said. She had memorized what Lavender had told her to say.

"Sure, it sounds like fun," Harry said while Ron nodded in agreement.

"Great!" Parvati smiled.

Then they finished walking toward Care of Magical Creatures and Hagrid.

I wonder what will happen with this game show. The only way to find out is to read the next chapter... well, after I upload it I mean... hehehe

Please review! I would GREATLY appreciate it! ;)
