Chapter Four: Plans Revealed


Ginny had gone with Hermione, Parvati, and Lavender down to the Great Hall for a bit more food. Seamus, Dean, Harry, and Ron all sat in the empty common room on the floor by the fire.

"She asked me on the next Hogsmead visit." Dean said about Parvati. Seamus nodded his head.

"Yeah, Lavender asked me to the next Hogsmead trip also." He said. Harry starred down at the floor with his knee's tucked up to his chest. "What about you two?" Seamus asked. Ron sat staring at the fire place, as if he didn't even hear what Seamus had said.

"Ginny told me she liked me. We were about to kiss when McGonaggal came in." Harry answer. He thought this might shake Ron out of his thoughts a little, but no such luck. Dean waved his hand in front of Ron's face.

"Hullo, earth to Ron." He said. Ron shook his head.

"Sorry, mate. What did you say?" He asked. Harry laughed.

"He wants to know what happened with you and Hermione." He said. Ron gulped.

"W-we kissed." He finally said.

"Was she doing that playing thing, where she kisses you quickly and then walks away? That's what Parvati did to me after she asked me to Hogsmead." Dean said. Ron shook his head.

"No." he said in a dazed sort of way. The other three boys smiled knowing smiles.

"He's got it bad." Harry, Dean, and Seamus said at the same time.


"The boys were talking about us when we went passed them." Parvati said with glee.

"How do you know?" Ginny asked. Parvati blushed a little.

"I bought one of Fred and George's extendable ears before they left school." She said. Lavender snickered.

"I knew you would." She said. Parvati hit her lightly on the arm.

"Shut Up."

"Guys, Guys." Ginny interrupted. "I think are original plan is failing." She said. Parvati and Lavender both laughed.

"You just figured this out. I think you are mighty behind. I mean, me and Lavender already asked Dean and Seamus to Hogsmead, and Hermione kissed Ron, what have you done?" Parvati asked.

"I told Harry I fancied him." Ginny said firmly. Lavender raised an eye-brow.

"Really?" She asked. Ginny nodded. "Great, we're all on the same page." She said, cause Parvati and Ginny to laugh. That's when they noticed Hermione was spacing out. Ginny shook her shoulders.

"Herm? You in there?" She asked. Hermione blinked a couple of times.

"Sorry, I kinda spaced." She said with a embarrassed smile. The other three girls laughed again. "Come On." Hermione said standing up. "It's almost ten. We need to get back to the common room." She said; and the other three nodded, following her.


"I think they were being crazy before." Dean said.

"Yeah, I mean, why did they have to do what they did just to ask us out or tell us they like us?" harry asked. Ron was about to say something when the Portrait Hole started to open. On instinct, since there was nobody else in the common room; Seamus, Harry, Dean, and Ron ran and hid around a corner before the girls could see them.

"The plan really did work though." The boys heard Ginny say.

"Yeah, I mean, we all basically got the guy we wanted." They heard Hermione say. The four boys couldn't help but smile at the thought. But then Lavender said something that wiped the smiles right of the boys faces.

"But, who wins the bet?"

"I guess we'll just have to see who falls first." Parvati added. Bet? Ron, Dean, Seamus, and Harry all thought at the same time. Ron shook his head. To good to be true. Ron thought as he started up the boys stair that were right next to them. Harry, Seamus, and dean follow. They had gone into their dorm before they could hear Hermione, Ginny, Parvati, and Lavender all add.

"I don't care. I'm just happy he likes me too."
