The next day during breakfast Harry wanted to ask Ron why he told their roommates that he likes Ginny. But Hermione was there eating with them, and Ron was preoccupied with staring at Hermione eat.
"Are you ok Harry?" Hermione suddenly asked, "you look kinda.. cross."
"No I'm fine thanks" Harry replied automatically.
"Seriously though, both of you have been weird lately. Always looking so nervous around me, and never asking to copy my notes anymore. Did I do something wrong?" Hermione seemed worried.
"Don't look too much into it Hermione, its more of 'our' problem then yours" Harry glance at Ron's direction, and gave Hermione a smile. Harry sighed. - I'll take care of this later then-
Harry didn't get a chance until dinner. Hermione went off early for prefect duties. Ron wanted to follow, but Harry dragged him down.
"Ok, Ron. You better explain to me why you told the guys I like Ginny." Harry muttered.
Ron looked like he was expecting this, "Hey come on Harry, you two make a great couple. Ginny's always liked you, you should give her a chance. She's my sister, and you're my best friend. I'm just trying to help."
"I should have known." Harry mumbled. "But wait Ron, why did you lie about ME liking someone when its actually YOU?"
Ron coughed awkwardly, "Umm.. To tell you the truth, I'm really not sure. I mean, they just barged in.. I was taken by shock.. and well, I just didn't want them to know. " Ron was starting to babble again.
"Ok.. ok. I get your point. I understand, u're off the hook. Now u can go ahead with your prefect duties.'
"Thanks Harry. I'll see ya in the common room. Hogsmeade is drawing near, we still have to discuss!" Ron patted Harry on the shoulder and stalked off.
***********
The Hogsmeade weekend arrived by the speed of light. Ron was getting restless that morning, getting all worried and babbling again.
"Harry, what if Hermione rejects me? Would she ever want to be my friend again? What would she think of me? And what about that Viktor Krum? Does she like him? Cuz she never really said anything you know.." Ron kept going while they got up from bed. Seamus, Dean, and Neville already left for breakfast.
"Calm down Ron. We both know Hermione, even if she doesn't have feelings for you, she'll still be your friend. And plus, there's a big chance that she does like you. We've gone through everything since our first year. There were many occasions when she showed care for you. So just relax, believe in yourself." Harry comforted. "Now c'mon, let's go for breakfast, and then Hogsmeade we go!"
************
It was a cool November morning when they set off for Hogsmeade. Harry and Ron had planned out everything.
"I'll hang out with Neville in the Three Broomsticks while u take Hermione outside and talk to her. You take your time Ron. I might go shop around myself, so we'll meet when we're heading back to Hogwarts. " Harry told Ron.
"Ok, wish me luck!" Ron said.
"Wish you luck for what Ron?" Hermione suddenly came from behind them.
"Uh, wishing me luck that I'll pass that Potions test on Monday" Ron lied.
Hermione laughed, "You'll definitely need it! C'mon, today's Hogsmeade. Lets have fun!"
"Want to go to the Three Broomsticks and get some butterbeer to warm up?" Harry suggested
"Good idea!" Hermione agreed. So the three of them headed to the little bar.
************
When the trio all finished their huge glass of butterbeer, Hermione stood up and suggested to go somewhere else.
"You and Ron go ahead, I'll have one more glass of butterbeer." Harry said gloomily.
"Really Harry? Sure you won't get drunk?" Hermione joked.
- If I was drunk, I'd probably be better off. I won't have to worry about how Hermione would reply to Ron's affection- Harry thought. "No, I'll be fine. You guys go ahead. I'll hang out with Neville." He said as Neville walked in alone. Harry smiled and ushered Neville to come to their seat.
"Umm.. Ok then. We'll see you later k?" Hermione was still a bit uncertain.
"C'mon Hermione, Harry'll be fine!" Ron tugged at Hermione and left the bar.
"So Neville, " Harry turned his attention to his other friend, "How's everything?"
"You know me Harry, same as usual." Neville replied without looking up, "But Harry, YOU are different. Did you tell Ginny yet?"
"Tell Ginny what? OH, that.. I'm still planning.." Harry murmured.
"What are you worrying about? You and Ginny make a great couple! You should tell her!" Neville insisted, "Ginny's a great girl, you'd lucky to have her.. and she'd be lucky to have you." He winked.
"Thanks for your advice Neville, I'll consider it." Harry didn't want to talk about Ginny at all." I think I'll go out for a little bit, you stay and finish your butterbeer. See ya later!" Harry didn't bother a reply from Neville and stormed out of the Three Broomsticks.
