"Oh, the game's not over yet," Ginny said in a mock threatening voice.
Hermione looked confused. "What - what do you mean 'the game's not over yet'? We only played to get you two together and now that you are -"
"Oh, I have to get my own back," Ginny said, with a devilish smile.
Harry was confused. He looked from Ginny to Hermione to Ron. Hermione looked a little scared while Ron's face portrayed exactly what Harry was feeling - sheer and utter confusion.
"Ginny... I told you that in confidence!" Hermione gasped. She seemed to be silently begging Ginny with her eyes not to tell Harry and Ron something.
Ginny laughed. "Don't worry, I won't tell them, we're just going to continue playing Spin the Quill, that's all... "
Harry looked questioningly at Ginny. "What...?" he asked, wondering what she was talking about. She leaned in closer to him and he felt his heart skip a mile. She was so beautiful.
"Haven't you ever wondered why Ron and Hermione argue all the time?" she whispered so the others couldn't hear her.
Still not knowing what Ginny was talking about, Harry shrugged, and simply pulled her closer to him, enjoying the closeness. She laughed. "Boys," she muttered.
Had he known why exactly Ginny had muttered this; Harry felt he might have been offended. However, still being in a state of confusion, he simply span the quill, since it was his turn. It landed neatly on Ron.
"Dare," Ron said proudly to Harry. "I'm brave, I can handle whatever you hit me with!"
Harry laughed and turned to Ginny. "Is there anything you want me to dare him to do?"
Ginny nodded. "Yes. We won't go all the way yet, we can just have a little fun to start off with. Tell him to put his arm around Hermione."
Harry gaped at her. "Are you *mad*?" he asked her as quietly as he could. "That's just gross!"
"Harry, they like each other, you're going to have to deal with it," Ginny said with a little laugh, amused by Harry's reaction.
Harry gasped. "Is that what you meant? They argue because they - they *LIKE* each other?"
Ginny nodded and laughed at Harry - he plainly looked as though he was about to throw up. Then, he turned back to Ron.
"I can't believe I'm saying this, but put your arm around Hermione."
Ron's mouth dropped open and Hermione looked incredulously at Ginny. "I was doing you a favour!" she cried.
"And now I'm returning the favour," Ginny replied. "Harry and I are sick of your arguing and it's clearly the only way to stop it!"
"What's the only way to stop it?" Ron asked, still clueless.
"Do the dare," Harry said, avoiding Ron's question and his eyes.
Slowly, feeling stupid, Ron put his arm around Hermione.
"I'm not going to bite you, you know Ron!" Hermione snapped at him.
*Here we go again* Harry thought. He looked at Ginny. She was rolling her eyes so plainly she was thinking the same thing. It was going to be a long night.
