So the bet was on. It had been three days since the talk in the common
room, and still Ron and Hermione were completely cluless. Harry and Ginny
were growing impatient neither of them wanted to loose! They had both
thought a little push in the right direction couldn't do any harm.
"Ronald Arthur Weasley!" Hermone bellowed across the common room, he had only just returned from his detention with Snape. He had literally taken three steps in to the room.
"What now?" He mumbled.
"Your in serious trouble mister." She continued to yell.
Lookily only Harry and Ginny were witnessing this. It was 12:30am and everyone else was sensible enough to be asleep.
"For what?" Ron asked confused, Hermione suddenly dropped her voice to a soft, kind tone and replied,
"for buying me flowers for helping you with your potions homework. You know I don't expect anything for helping you, I do it because we're best friends!" She then walked over to him smiling and gave him a hug. Ron however, had no idea what was going on.
"Flowers?" He mouthed to Harry and Ginny. Harry could only shrug, but Ginny had winked at him and smiled. Ron caught on.
"Oh flowers, they were nothing. You deserved them and I know I don't always thank you for your help." He smiled.
"Well thank-you Ron, they were a lovely idea. They are very beautiful." She then kissed Ron on the cheek whilst blushing madly. She muttered 'goodnight' then disappeared up the girls dormatry.Ron suddenly looked very dazed, yet extremly happy.
"Well good night guys. Thanks Gin." He then grinned again and headed for bed. After they were both out of ear shot Harry turned to Ginny and eyed her suspiciously.
"You did that on purpose. You wanted Hermione to think that she has a definite chance. Your trying to help things along by sending her things supposidly from ron. Your making her cave first so you'll win." Harry sounded a little annoyed.
"Prove it!" She could only grin. With this she stood up and walked round the back of him, lent down and whispered,
"goodnight Harry. Sweet dreams." She vanished leaving him quite shocked. Ginny had been so close it had sent shivers down his spine and this had only left him wanting more.

The next day Harry had decided that he needed to make Ron beleive he had a chance. After much thought in the common room the night before, Harry could only decide that what Ginny had done may of benefited for herself, but it had some ways benefited him too. Ron was in Hermione's good books meaning Ron may already now believe he definitly had a chance. He entered the great hall with an idea.
"Morning," Harry smiled to a tired looking Ron, a cheerful Ginny, and to a book which he beleived had Hermione's head behind it.
"Morning," Ginny replied. Hermione only waved and Ron grunted.
"Well aren't we a happy bunny this morning!" Harry teased his friend. Ron scowled at Harry making him turn his attention to Ginny.
"What are you so happy about?" He questioned.
"Nothing!" Ginny replied but also gave him a 'I'm going to win' look. Harry turned back to Ron,
"hey Ron did we mention to you about what Hermione did yesterday, after you were sent to MgGonagall by Snape?" Hermione's head was suddenly out of '1001 ways to pass the N.E.W.T.s' and blushing furiously.
"No what happened?" Ron questioned,
"well after you left Hermione told him that he was being too harsh on you, and that if it had been his precious little Malfoy who had burnt the hole through the desk and cursed so loudly, then no detention would of been given. She also mentioned that he was a bias and that Dumbledore would be hearing about it. Lookily for Hermione she escaped a dentetion but recieved the famous 'death glare'. Harry smiled, that had to be in his favour.
After quite a long pause Hermione found her voice and began, "it was nothing really, he was just being so unfair..."
"Thanks Hermione. It means a lot to me!" Ron grinned then suddenly became very interested in his breakfast again. Hermione had buried her flushed face back in her book, and Harry turned to Ginny. This time it was he who had the 'I'm going to win look', and Ginny appereared to be no longer cheerful.
*********************************************************************
Whilst walking to Herbology later that day Harry was lost in thought about winning the bet. He definitly had Ron in the good books now, and Ron had seemed so happy that Hermione had stuck up for him like that. Now all he needed to do was get Ron to definitly crack first. Whilst suddenly thinking of what Ginny would look like when told she had lost, someone shouted him. He turned around,
"HARRY...HARRY...WAIT UP!" Ginny was running towards him, apparently very out of breath.
"Yes Ginny can I help you?
"Yes you can. I want to talk to you - about what happened - at breakfast." She manged to tell him between breaths.
"Ginny theres nothing to talk about."
"Harry it was infair. You were cheating so that Ron thought he definitly stood a chance. Your trying to make Ron win for you... your bending the rules." She sounded a little annoyed. Harry stood still for a couple of seconds before moving slowly towards Ginny, holding her stare. He pressed his lips against her ear and whispered,
"Prove it!" He felt Ginny shiver next to him then turned away, he began to walk up the corrider again but this time he could feel Ginny's eyes boreing in to the back of him. If it wasn't for the bell to bring Ginny back to reality she would of stood there all day.
