Chapter 4- Playing Cupid

Hermione walked down the steps to the common room, a little happier then she was when she woke up. When she entered the common room she put a smile on her face, because she completed her little mission that Harry and Ron asked her to do. She saw them waiting for her.

"What are you smiling about?" asked Harry when Hermione walked over to them.

"Are you guys ready to go? I'm hungry," said Hermione. She loved playing with them by changing the subject.

"Ok. That's fine with me, I'm hungry too," said Ron. He was still a little confused why Hermione was smiling too. They went out into the Entrance Hall and the trio walked to the Great Hall.

"So, are you going to tell us why you have that smile on your face?" asked Harry.

"Ok, fine! Potter, Weasley, I have found two girls that have interest in you." Said Hermione, trying to act like she was an agent.

"Wow! Already? And you called us unattractive!" said Ron. Hermione rolled her eyes at what Ron said. Of course he isn't unattractive! Thought Hermione, every girl would probably want to get into his pants! Harry laughed at what Ron said.

"Well who are they?" asked Harry in excitement.

"Ok. I'll tell you. Harry, Lavender likes you and called you 'hot'. And as for you Ron, Pavarti likes you and called you 'hot' too," said Hermione, still thinking that she was a secret agent for her friends. "They wanted me to play 'cupid' and ask about them to you guys. So what do you think about them?" continued Hermione.

"Well I guess she's okay… I'll go ask her out later on, what about you Ron?" said Harry.

"Yeah, she's cool," said Ron, "I'll ask her later on too."

Agent Granger, you've outdone yourself this time! Thought Hermione, Ron smells good today. I wonder what cologne he has on… NO! Don't think about Ron! I will not let my liking for Ron get in the way of my mission! Hermione screamed to herself.

"Okay…Well… find any body yet for me?" asked Hermione, wondering what they have in stock for her.

"No, not really. But we'll talk to some guys that would do well for you today. Do you mind hanging out with Lavender and Parvarti while we talk to them?" asked Harry.

"Sure, no problem. BUT I want it to be a guy that likes me and won't just go out with me for kicks. Got it?" said Hermione.

"Yeah, yeah. We'll meet you in the common room once we got one," said Ron.

Okay then, Agent Potter and Weasley, have accepted their mission, thought Hermione, gosh I'm really lame, where did I pick up this 'secret agent' act? Once they got into the Great Hall, Hermione sat by Lavender and Parvarti while Harry and Ron went over to the guys.

"So…did you talk to them?" asked Lavender excitedly, while eating her breakfast.

"Yes I did," told Hermione, putting food on her plate.

"Well… what did they say? What are they going to do? Do they like us?" Pavarti bombarded Hermione with questions. Hermione smiled to herself, I've been a spy for all four of them! Wow I must be a good agent! Thought Hermione, wow, I'm really lame!

"It's for me to know and for you to find out! Anyways, you guys ready for today's classes?" asked Hermione. Boy! Did she have fun changing subjects or what?

~Meanwhile at Harry and Ron's "Secret Mission"~

Harry and Ron went over to Dean and Seamus. They were talking about Quidditch and Ron and Harry joined in. They had no way to change the subject to Hermione, but to their luck it quickly changed about girls.

"So Seamus, who do you fancy this year?" asked Dean.

"She's a Hufflepuff, her name is Christine Adams," said Seamus. (I just made up that name. I'm pretty sure that there is no 'Christine Adams' in Hufflepuff)

"What about you guys? Who do you fancy?" asked Seamus.

"Well, I find Lavender pretty attractive," replied Harry.

"Pavarti is looking nice pretty nice this year, What about you Dean? Who do you fancy this year?" said Ron.

"Well, you guys promise not to get mad at me?" asked Dean a little scared of Harry and Ron.

"Why would we ever get mad at you Dean?" asked Ron. He was a little confused. Why would they get mad at them?

"Well…I sort of fancy Hermione a bit…" said Dean, a little nervous. Harry and Ron turned to each other and smiled. This is just way too easy, thought Harry.

"How 'bout we talk to her for you, you know try to hook you guys up?" asked Harry.

Dean…and Hermione? He better be good for her…if he hurts her…than I'll kill him…Wow…she looks cute when she smiles…NO! Don't think about her! I'm going to ask out Pavarti! Plus Hermione would never like me…not that I like her or anything… thought Ron.

"You guys really would do that for me? No, its ok… she probably doesn't like me…" said Dean.

"Hey, how do you know? You'll never know until you try? So how about it? We'll ask her about you and we'll tell you what she said…then you could handle whatever happens next!" said Harry.

"Hmm… ok then… by the way thanks, you guys are the best!" said Dean, with a huge grin on his face. Then suddenly the bell rang and the boys went off to their first class.
