Chapter 6: Trying to Convince the Friend

~~~~~

The next day Hermione and Harry went to breakfast for a minute. Hermione didn't eat, but she stuffed a handful of tooth-flossing mints in her mouth. 'Oh great,' Harry thought to himself.

Hermione was being antsy. She would check her wrist watch, then look to see if Harry had finished eating then play with her food then look back at her watch and start the cycle again.

When Hermione pop in seven dinner mints Harry gave in, "All right, we can go, shhesh!" Harry stood up and walked to out of the Great Hall with Hermione. They walked toward the Hospital Wing. On the way their Hermione would take a few fast steps then stop and wait for Harry to catch up then she would do it again. After a while she started just taking one fast step, waiting, then taking another. She looked like a Wedding's flower girl who has no rhythm. Harry tried to keep from laughing.

Harry was nervous, he was about to tell Ron, his best friend, his team mate, that Harry 'The-Boy-Who-Lived' Potter had a massive crush on said friend's babysister. Harry walked in the Hospital Wing after Hermione.

The smell of soap and sick people made Harry thankful that he wasn't in here anymore. Hermione just pulled herself off of Ron, who was sitting half- up half-down in his white sheet bed. Harry walked over and sat on the bed next to Ron's. Harry let Ron and Hermione make up after their 3 days of not being able to kiss.

"So, whats got you down, Harry?" Ron asked, trying to make it less uncomfortable for his friend.

"Well," Harry eyed Hermione giving her a look that said, 'say it for me.'

Hermione rolled her eyes. "Harry has a crush."

"You do?" Ron laughed, "Who is the lucky girl?"

Harry smiled nervously, stood up, walked across the room, turned around and said, oozing with confidence, "Ginny."

"Ginny? As in my sister Ginny?" Ron asked, not sure if he heard right.

"Yes, your sister." Harry's face was determined.

Ron's face turned pale then to pink then to red in less that three seconds, "Why the bloody hell?" Ron was starting to get up.

Hermione place one of her dainty hands on Ron's chest to push him back down. "Ron, don't."

"What?" Ron's lips curled up in the way he always did when he was upset. "Give me one reason why I shouldn't get up and punch Harry's lights out right now!"

Harry stepped forward, he took and deep breath, thinking over his answer and said, "Because, I feel the same way about Ginny as Hermione feels about you."

As if on cue Hermione smiled, eyes watering, leaned down and kissed her Weasley on the lips. Harry saw, wishing he didn't, Ron's hand go from Hermione's lower back to much lower on Hermione. Harry turned away and looked once again out the window. Mother Nature played her music for they happy couple still snogging. Harry had have a mind to yell at them and tell them to get a room.

When they let go of each other's tongues Ron said, still looking at Hermione(his hand still hadn't come up for its exploration of her lower regions), "What are you going to do about it?"

Harry, despite feeling completely sick from seeing his best friend grope his other bestfriend, smiled warmly. Hermione told their idea of a plan involving Kiki. Ron winked at Harry and Hermione slapped her boyfriend for thinking about another girl that way.

After getting Ron's blessing and an extra wink behind Hermione's back, two- thirds of the trio left to find Kiki.

Hermione got her to agree to meet then out in the Courtyard a little before lunch, 'Great' thought Harry, 'my stomach is going to grumbled all the way through asking her out.'

They found her on a bench under a tree, she was perfecting her nails. "Hi Kiki." Hermione greeted with a smile.

"Hello," the blond said in a board tone. "Alright," she drug out, "what did you want to talk to me about?" Kiki placed her two prefect hands on the bench next to her and pressed her shoulders to her ears and stared at Hermione, Harry just sat on a bench perpendicular to Kiki's acting like an innocent bystander.

"Well, we wanted to talk to you about Ginny." Hermione started. "Harry, here, has a crush on her." Hermione smiled.

"No kidding?" Kiki asked sarcastically.

"No," Hermione said slowly then continued, "we need you help."

"Doing what?"

"Be my girlfriend for a while," Harry spoke, for the first time in the conversation. Kiki looked a little taken-a-back, a nice change from her emotionless visage.

"I get to make the rules." Kiki said. Harry nodded. "Two weeks only, starting tomorrow. You carry my books, walk me to class, kiss me on the cheek before every meal, and only two real kisses." Kiki paused, although this seemed all planned out she took a minute to think, "We can schedule some 'snogging' times."

Harry, trying to hide his smile, nodded. "Agreed." He extended his hand and shook one of Kiki's perfect hands.

~~~

Lunch was pleasant, Harry and Kiki planned to sit a few seats down and across from each other and give flirting looks to one another. 'Good thing she is hot.' Harry thought, 'And she is sitting next to Ginny.'

Aw, Ginny. What a blossom. She had changed so much last year. From shy and lonely girl to flirtatious, spunky chick after just one boyfriend. Maybe thats all she needed was a good snog to turn her into herself.

Harry considered this for a moment, maybe all he needed was a good snog and he could change into a tall, buff, Fabio. Or a sexy Latin lover. Harry held back a grin and looked over a Kiki again. He faked a blush when she looked over at him too.

Harry ran his hands over his thighs as Ginny absentmindedly tucked a hair behind her ear and looked over at Kiki. Harry darted his eyes at Kiki and she looked over, licking her lips. They turned away again. 'This is getting old,' Harry told himself.'

Oh, but sweet Ginny, what a girl. She was talking with a third year from Hufflepuff, both their heads were in a book and Ginny was pointing to something in the middle of the page, reading it to the girl. Harry smiled at the thought of being that close to Ginny again.

Close enough to smell her hair, to touch her skin, to look into her twinkling eyes. Harry cursed himself, because he missed another turn of turn and blush with Kiki but he covered it up by jerking his head toward the Entrance Hall. Kiki nodded and walked out of the Great Hall, Harry followed her quickly to the fifth floor.

"So Kiki," Harry said, walking her up the stares to the sixth floor.

"Yeah Harry?" She asked, sort of gliding up the steps.

"You want to be my girlfriend for two weeks?" Harry asked, not looking at her.

She moved closer as they walked down the seventh floor corridor, she hugged his arm and said in a false girlie voice, "Oh my goodness! THE Harry Potter asked me to be his girl, and it was so romantic! I think I'm going to die!"

Harry rolled his eyes. "Who was that supposed to be?"

"Ginny, second year, when her crush on you just started to turn to obsessed." Kiki informed.

"And I thought you were her friend." Harry said, hurt that she was mocking the girl of his dreams.

"Oh, I am, I'm her best friend, I just tell things like it is." Kiki entered the empty common room and walked over to the stairs. Kiki stood up on the first step, she looked over at Harry and grabbed his hand lacing her fingers with his. "You'll have to get used to this." Kiki smiled, "Cho was your only girlfriend, right?"

"Yeah," Harry said stiffly.

"Did you ever kiss her?" Kiki asked, generally curious.

"No, she kissed me." Harry informed, feeling a little awkward, but Kiki's hand felt very smooth.

"Ah," Kiki licked her bottom lip and moved closer to Harry, avoiding his gaze and she kissed his cheek, "See you tomorrow, Lover-Cakes."

Harry laughed as she walked up stairs, "I'll miss you, Sugar Booger." Kiki silently finished walking up the stairs but Harry noticed that her shoulders where shaking with silent laughter.

Next Chapter: The First Week...Harry and Kiki's first week as a 'Couple'

A/N: alright, before I get any hate mail, this is going to be a G/H, note all of Harry's ranting about Ginny. Kiki is just helping him get there! Will be H/G! Please, just give me time. I feel that if I put them together this quick that it makes the story ending before its begun...understand?

Darcy16 : Thank you! I'm glad you see them as clearly as I do.

sexy seeker : Thank you, I felt like turning Eros into this...sick, twisted person would link to the way that Ginny now wants to fly solo, which is really bad for Harry, but good for us as we see the way Harry looks at her...*smiles*

Potteranne : thank you very much! Its wonderful to see another person reading my writings:)

Sadz89 : I give you total permission to use those hammers on said places *wink wink* That horny, "dumbass" *nods in agreement*

ESSA : Oh no! Well, I hope this wasn't too long of a wait, sorry, but a weekend of pure shopping, it was bliss and I had to take the offer *smiles*

kitkat : Yes, I'm a little upset about her not wanting a boyfriend, but think about it: "You are almost raped by your serious boyfriend and his friends, so you go to the one person you can really trust(Harry, not Ron because he would try to kill all Ravenclaws, not Hermione, she would want to tell the teachers which would mean that the teachers would find out that Ginny was in the Ravenclaw common room, and doing interesting things in their common room and dorm rooms, she had to tell Harry), Harry has always been that older brother figure because he hangs out with her older brother, even though she doesn't feel like that, but she thinks that he does. After Eros, I would want to take a break, wouldn't you? Being betrayed and all?? *shrugs*

Mrs Ronald Weasley : Well, I don't think I would even participate in group or homosexual intercourse, but some people would find that offensive and might even think that I am being mean to the Ravenclaw house by describing a made up characters from that house as being bisexual horny teens who casually have sex. But, Ravenclaw is probably my favorite house, in RPGs I join Ravenclaw!

Sherry : Nice name *is name of my Irish grandmother* Well, as I said earlier, I feel like the story would end before it begins if I put them together now, maybe I put them together in a bit, but I just feel like when they get together it will be "Happily Ever After" and, even though I enjoy it, I'm not going to write and purely snogging 20 chapter fic.

A/N: Ok, I know some of you are like: "What the bloody hell? Kiki?" But I promise you that this is not a K/H story, this is G/H, just give it time and sit back, relax and watch Harry's ---- attempts to win Ginny's heart!
