Author's note: OK this is chapter 3. I'm really bored right now and don't
feel like doing homework. Anyway. If you didn't know, I co-write my stories
with one of my best friends. She is also a Harry Potter Freak. Well, She
wrote the whole first chapter and half of the second. I have written the
second half of the second chapter and all of third and probably most of it
from now on. She kinda got bored of this and is in the middle on writing
like three other fan fic stories. Those will probably be posted sometime in
the future. On so I've posted 2 chapters in the same day. Be Happy.
Disclaimer: we don't own anything. If we did we'd be rich... but we're not
sadly.
Ami-Gryffindor89: I'm so glad you like this fiction so much. I'm sure my friend will be jumping up and down when she reads your review. I hope I've updated soon enough. 2 chapters in one day. You should be happy.
LuthienGranger2004: I'm glad you like it. Please keep reading. It gets better. I hope I haven't written that far ahead yet.
~The plan~
"So you said you had to tell me something?" Said Ron when they got outside.
"Yeah I've figured out a plan to make Harry admit his feeling to Ginny." Hermione said.
"Ok so we set Ginny up with another boy. Probably one in her year and in another house so it won't be complete and total torture for Harry. Just enough to make him think he's going to lose Ginny if he doesn't tell her how he feels." Said Hermione. She thought it was a pretty brilliant plan but from the look on Ron's face she could tell he didn't agree.
"HAVE YOU GONE MAD WOMAN?!?!?!" Ron exclaimed. "You already know I'm not too ecstatic about getting Harry and Ginny together in the first place but dragging another boy into this isn't going to happen!"
"Yeah I thought you might feel that way" Hermione said. She was already deep in thought for another plan. She knew she should have had a back up plan. What is wrong with me?
"Then why the bloody hell did you tell it to me?" Ron said still flustered.
"Well you come up with a better plan if mine is so bad." Hermione was not going to allow Ron to talk to her like that. She was just trying to help. "And please don't curse Ron."
"I'm sorry but I think I'm entitled to a little cursing right now." Ron mumbled. He hated apologizing. But he could tell that Hermione wasn't even listening. She had her eyebrows furrowed in thought. He couldn't believe she was so intent on getting Harry and Ginny together.
"Hermione why is this so important to you?" Ron asked.
"Because I can tell that neither one of them is happy and they're my friends and I want them to be happy even if I have to make them a little uncomfortable to get them to notice how they feel for each other." Hermione answered still in deep thought.
"I guess," said Ron. "But please remember she's my sister. I know you're thinking of a plan right now." They walked in silence for a while.
"I've got it!!!" Hermione shouted all of the sudden. Ron nearly jumped a foot in the air; she scared him so much. "Sorry, I forgot you were there." Said Hermione.
"Thanks I feel so loved," replied Ron "So what's the plan?" Ron wanted to know what was so great about this plan that she had to make his heart speed up to the point that he knew was probably dangerous to his health.
"And that would be?" Ron asked a little unsurely. He still wasn't sure he even wanted Harry and Ginny dating. First of all Harry was his best friend and Ginny was his sister and it would just be gross and weird. Second of all he didn't want either of them to get hurt. But he wanted them both to be happy. He was so torn. I guess I'll just do what will make them happy even if only for a little while. Ron thought.
"Ok so you said no boys right?" Hermione started.
"Right" Ron said slowly not sure what the plan was.
"Well, how about a fake boy? A pretend boy?" asked Hermione.
"Um... Hermione you've already lost me in this plan," Ron admitted.
"Ok we write a love letter to Ginny from a secret admirer. That way Harry can still be jealous but there won't really be any real boys involved. Other than Harry I mean." Hermione finished. Ron was thinking about it. She knew he was trying to find something wrong with her plan. "Ron what's wrong with it this time?"
"Nothing that I can find right now." He answered "But I'm not writing it. That's just gross. Writing a love letter to my sister. Nope that's not happening in this lifetime. Or in any lifetime for that matter."
"OK fine, I'll write it. Besides you still have to do you homework. But you have to help." Said Hermione.
"Why?" Said Ron wishing he hadn't been dragged into this.
"Because you're a guy and I have to make it sound like a guy it writing it and not a girl and you know you sister better than I do. You know what she likes and what she doesn't like." Said Hermione in a matter- of- factly voice.
"Fine" Said Ron giving in. "it's not like I have a choice" he muttered.
"Did you say something?" Hermione suspiciously asked.
"No, of course not." Ron said not wanting to start a fight.
"Lets go to the common room. You should start your homework and I can start figuring out what to write in the love letter." Hermione said.
She wanted to start it and get it over with as soon as possible. She wanted to make them happy but she was only going to go so far. And writing a love letter to a girl was pretty far. When Ron and Hermione got back to the common room it was empty. They figured that Harry and Ginny, who were the only other two Gryffindors who stayed for the holidays, were in the library. So Ron brought his books down to the common room and he and Hermione sat a one of the tables. Ron was doing his divination homework. He was supposed to be predicting what was going to happen to himself everyday of the next three months by looking at the path Jupiter was moving in but as usual he made up all of it because it took too long to look at his chart that showed Jupiter's orbit. So at the end he had ended up being killed twice, breaking each arm and leg, falling down three flights of stairs and being sat on by a hippogriff.
"Are done with that already?" asked Hermione impatiently. "I need help with this letter."
"OK I'm done." Said Ron. "Read me what you wrote so far." And Hermione started reading what she had written. When she finished Ron's jaw dropped and he was trying with all his might not to fall over laughing. "Hermione you know we have to give this to a girl right?"
"Yes. Why? What's wrong with it?" She asked innocently. She thought it was a really good latter in her opinion.
"Because you wrote it as if you were going to give this to a guy. I would be really flattered if I got a letter like this. You can tell a girl wrote that letter. And I really don't think Ginny feels that way about girls. I think it would kind of freak her out." Ron told Hermione.
"Well then you write it if you're such an expert." Hermione said. She was really frustrated right now and really didn't care at the moment. Ron took out a new piece of parchment and started scribbling something quickly.
"You put too much thought into what you were going to say. Guys don't think through what they say before they say it or in this case write it. OH and your handwriting is way too neat. I've never met a guy who writes like that." He slid the piece of Parchment over to her and she read it.
Ginny-
I've seen you in the hallways in school and I think you're very pretty. I've liked you for a long time but I haven't had the guts to tell you. I'm not in your house but I'm in your year and I'm in only 2 of your classes. I really hope one day you will feel the same way about me. I know it's not
Valentine's Day but this is from:
Your Secret Admirer
"Ron you wrote this in like two seconds." Hermione said in awe.
"Well, yeah that's what guys do." Ron explained, "If you want to make it look like a guy really wrote this you have to make it look like they mean what they say but they didn't spend too much sting stressing over it." He added.
"I will never understand men." Hermione muttered.
"Well then it's mutual." Ron grinned, "we will never understand women. It's the way of life."
"Ok well there's a Quidditch game the Saturday after everyone comes back and-" Hermione started.
"Well yeah I am on the Quidditch team." Ron interrupted.
"Yes Ron I am aware of that. But back to what I was saying while everyone is at the game I'll slip the note into Ginny's room so it looks like the imaginary guy who wrote it went through a lot of trouble to get it to her." Hermione finished.
"Yeah I guess and it still looks like a guy did it because he did it while no one was around. It's the last thing a guy wants, to let everyone know who he likes. It's really embarrassing." Ron agreed with Hermione's plan.
