"Wait!"
I called to Ginny just as her hand was reaching for the doorknob. I was stalling for time. I had no idea what I was going to do! She turned around and looked at me, a cold stony look on her face. I knew if I didn't say something she would be right out the door and on her way to find Harry who would most likely be with Ron and then everything would be ruined. But then again, if I told her what was going on and she still went to Harry, things could still be ruined. I closed my eyes, took a deep breath and beckoned her over to me. Amazingly she came. Apparently she needed an explanation before she went in search of Harry.
"Stay here Ginny, I'll be right back." I said standing up and heading towards the door.
"What? Where are you going?" she asked a questioning look on her face.
"I'm going to get Harry and he's going to help me tell you everything." I said a grim look on my face.
"But. What?"
I laughed at her expression.
"You'll have everything explained to you in a matter of minutes if you stay right where you are."
I said putting emphasis on the last four words. She looked at me but said nothing so I took it as my que to escape. I flung the door open and rushed down our stairs then up the boys' stairs and knocked on their door. To my relief it was Seamus who answered and not Ron or Harry.
"Hey Seamus." I said smiling sweetly at him so that there was no way he could refuse me entry into their dorm.
"Hello Hermione. What brings you up here?" he asked smiling just as sweetly back at me.
"I was wondering if Harry was in, and if I could speak to him in private?" I said continuing my sickening smile. It was starting to hurt my mouth. I wish he'd hurry up.
"Ah of course. Why else would you come here at such an un godly hour? I'll just get him for you."
Un godly hour? What was he talking about? It was only 7:30. I must have had a frown on my face due to Seamus's behaviour because Harry came out without me noticing and spoke.
"Something wrong Hermione?" he asked placing a comforting arm on my shoulder. I blew out a breath and remembering why I was here spoke in a fast hushed voice so no one would hear us.
"Harry, we have a problem. A big problem and it's in the form of Ginny Weasley. She's just come up talking to me accusing me of blue murder. Saying that I don't really care about you and that she was going to tell you and if she tells you then Ron's going to find out and be suspicious and it's going to ruin everything but I don't know if I should tell her the truth to prevent this because she could get really mad about what we are doing to Ron and I.I.what are we going to do? Harry I thought you might-"
"Hermione, Hermione! Calm down! We'll sort everything out. In fact, I think we can tell Ginny and be fairly safe. Do you want to do that? I know there isn't going to be the risk of her telling Ron for sure."
"Well we have to do something. She's not too happy with me. "
Harry put a protecting arm around me and we walked together back to my dorm with me preparing myself for cyclone Ginny. We walked in and the first thing I saw was Ginny laying on my bed, her legs crossed in the air, and her bouncing one leg to the beat of my witch wireless. She looked like a totally different person.
"Ginny?"
I asked tenderly, half hiding behind Harry. She looked at the two of us and laughed. Frankly, it scared me to death.
"It's alright Hermione, I'm not going to bite, promise. I was just thinking and I'm really intrigued to see what's going on. So explain."
I looked at Harry who had a thoughtful look on his face. I opened my mouth and closed it again, realising no words were going to come out. I took a deep breath and opened my mouth again willing the words to come out.
"Ok Ginny, you're right, I don't care for Harry as a boyfriend. But I care about him as though he is my brother and as far as I can tell it works both ways."
Ginny looked at Harry and he nodded, smiling. I continued on, twisting my hands in my lap.
"It's all a scam. Or rather "the perfect plan" or so I thought a few days ago. You see, oh I can't believe I'm doing this. I fancy.Ron alright? I fancy your brother and I was fed up with hinting to him how I felt and him not doing anything in return and I know he has some sort of feelings for me. I just want him to admit them. I came up with the crazy idea that if I got a boyfriend, Harry obviously, that he'd get jealous and admit how he felt for me.that's about the size of it anyway."
I concluded looking up from my hands to find a very surprised Ginny. Her mouth was hanging open and her face had gone white. I watched as her hands slowly travelled up and covered her mouth. She was silent for a long time; so long I nearly couldn't bear it. I looked at Harry who was leaning against the side of Lavender's four-poster, which was next to my own four- poster, looking slightly amused at the look on her face.
"Well," she said causing me so avert my gaze from Harry's face and back to hers.
"You certainly proved me wrong didn't you? I was way off the track. I feel so stupid. I'm sorry Hermione for being so awful to you. Forgive me?"
She asked sweetly, batting her eyelashes at me. I was so glad that she didn't want to gut me. I smiled back at her and enveloped her in a hug.
"Of course."
"Good, well I better get to my own dorm before I get in trouble. See you two at breakfast."
"See you Ginny."
"Wait. Ginny don't you have anything to say on the subject?"
"Hmm. Nope."
She walked to the door and was just about out the door when she turned back to us.
"On second thought, I do have something to say. You're right Hermione, he does have feelings for you, he just doesn't know it yet. Keep working on him."
She winked and was out the door like that. I gaped at Harry and he grinned at me, kissed me on the cheek and bid me goodnight as well and left, closing the door behind him. I just stood there for about five minutes letting all the thoughts swimming around my head morph into one:
Ron has feelings for me.
I flopped down on my bed, grinning like an idiot. For some reason, everything was beginning to fall into place.

And there ends another chapter. I didn't think this was going to be so long but I'm really getting into it now. I just want to get it all finished to see what everyone thinks of it. Cheers everybody.
