Here's Chapter 13! Enjoy
Chapter 13:
The next day found Harry still not in the mood to talk to Ron. So he spent most of his free time hanging out with Ginny in the common room. Hermione watched all of this with a great deal of interest.
When she saw Fred and George walk into the room, she immediately hatched her plan.
"George!" she said, coming over to them, "Can I talk to you?" and before he had the chance to answer she dragged him off to the corner of the common room, and told him her plan.
"You want me to make what?" George asked, completely confused by what she was saying.
"Honestly," she replied, with an exasperated sigh, "weren't you listening?"
"Well, it's kind of hard when you're talking about a mile a minute." he said, laughing slightly.
"Well, I want you to make a truth telling candy that I can give to Harry and Ginny. I know they like each other, but they won't admit it. And I'm thinking that if Harry gets himself a girlfriend, he won't be as mad at Ron for dating Cho. I know you can make it. You and Fred are always making that kind of stuff. So will you please do this for me???"
"You are one in a million, Hermia," George said, laughing.
"Hermia? Where's you get that?"
"Shakespeare. I told you I'd think up a new nickname for you. Do you approve?"
"I guess. So will you make the candy for me???"
"Yeah, but how are you going to get them to eat it?" he asked.
"We'll find a way," she replied, "how long will it take to make it?"
"I can have it for you tomorrow night."
"Thanks, George!" Hermione said, jumping out of her chair and throwing her arms around him in a big hug. She then ran off to get her books so she could study.
After dinner, the team held their first practice. Things were a bit tense between Ron and Harry, but that quickly ended when the practice turned out so well. The team seemed like the perfect match for each other.
Spirits were high, and Harry had started talking to Ron again, until they were walking back up to the building. Cho was waiting for Ron, and when Harry saw her, his good mood immediately evaporated. He walked quickly by her, ignoring her greeting to him, and hurried up to the common room.
A few minutes later, Ron stormed into the common room.
"What is your problem?" he said to Harry.
"You know what my problem is," he replied, curtly.
"Yeah, well I don't understand why it's a problem. You told Ginny you didn't like Cho anymore, so you should have no right to be mad at me for liking her!" By now, almost the entire common room was watching their argument.
"Well, I can't help but feel a little betrayed!" Harry yelled back.
The fight would have lasted longer, and gotten quite rougher if Hermione and Ginny hadn't broke them apart.
"Stop it! Both of you!" Hermione said, wearing her Professor McGonagall face. "If the two of you can't get along, fight somewhere else. You're disrupting people's studies."
"I was just going up to bed anyway," Ron said, glaring at Harry, "I don't see anything else I need to say to this stupid git!"
"Whatever," Harry said, and walked to the couch. Ron just stormed up to their room.
"We've really got to do something about his," Ginny said, to Hermione once the boys were out of hearing range.
"I know. I'm working on it," Hermione said, giving Harry a look. "Go talk to Harry, I'll try to talk to Ron," then added to the common room, who had bee listening intently, "and all of you, get back to work!!"
Ginny went over to sit by Harry, who seemed relieved that it was her and not someone else, and Hermione snuck over to George.
"Can you get that candy done any quicker?" she asked him.
"I can try, but I'll need a little help, so come on," he said, and pulled her up to his dorm room, where there was a corner devoted to Weasley's Wizarding Weezes.
They worked on the candy for maybe half an hour when Fred walked in.
"What are you two up to?" he asked, eyeing George and Hermione suspiciously.
"Just a little project I needed some help with," Hermione said, smiling at him.
"Yeah, well, you'd better leave before the rest of our roomies get up here," he said to Hermione. "Imagine, finding a Prefect in the boys dormitories."
So she said goodnight to the twins and headed for the door.
"I'll probably have it done by tomorrow morning," George said to her.
"Thanks, George, you're the greatest," she replied, and left the room. She didn't see the smile the spread across George face at what she said.
