A/N: Hey everyone! Here's the last chapter of 500 Ways to Torture My Brother. I hope you enjoy it. The next part of the story will be told in Hermione's POV. The name of the next story is the at the bottom of the page. As always, I'm looking forward to getting your reviews.

The library was obscenely quiet and I couldn't focus on my homework like Harry was. I should've been happy, but I wasn't. Not completely anyhow. Something was bothering me. Maybe it was the let-down after completing my plan. Maybe I was wondering what happened after we left. It definitely wasn't the fact that Harry hadn't said anything to me in the twenty minutes since. I had babbled on the way down about how the look on Ron's face had been classic, but Harry hadn't said a word. And as soon as we got to the library he started reading for Transfiguration. He hadn't even looked at me since we sat down.

I should've seen this coming. I don't know why Harry helped me these past two weeks, but I should've realized that it was too good to be true. And to think that for a split second back in the common room when we were talking I'd almost imagined that he was going to kiss me. Or hoped that he was going to kiss me.

Okay, I admit it. My feelings for Harry aren't exactly platonic. I don't think they ever were. I'd just convinced myself that I didn't love him and for a while it had worked. Over the past few weeks though, the more time I spent with Harry, the more I remembered why I'd liked him in the first place. The way he's able to joke around even with all he's been through, the way his green eyes sparkle when he's being mischievous, the way his smile makes me forget to breathe, and the way that he cares about others. I wasn't sure how to deal with it. I didn't know how to handle the resurgence of those emotions. It scared me.

I hadn't really realized it until we were sitting on the couch tonight and Harry made that joke about snogging in the Potions classroom. I still loved him. But somehow I'd messed it up. He wasn't even talking to me. I looked over at Harry and he shoved his hand through his messy hair and he turned the page. I should've kissed him. Who knows if I'll ever get a chance again considering the way he's ignoring me. Oh God, maybe I was too obvious tonight. I was probably staring at him too much. Oh no, it's just like first year all over again. Well, except for the whole evil Dark Lord thing.

Which, actually, I don't want to think about either.

Anyway, I hope things with Ron and Hermione are going better than whatever is happening between me and Harry. By my calculations they should be getting past their flustering soon and then move on to snogging in about five minutes. Then they have a whole detention to make up for lost time. Lucky them.

I hate this damn silence!

"Harry," I hissed. He didn't even look up. "Harry!"

He looked over at me in surprise. "What?"

"Umm...do you think it'll work out?"

It took Harry a moment to respond. "Oh, with Ron and Hermione?" I nodded. "Yeah, I think so."

That wasn't as reassuring as I'd hoped. I bit my lip and tried to think of something that would ease the knot in my stomach.

"Ginny, are you okay?" Harry asked gently.

No matter how much I wanted to I couldn't tell him the truth. It would only make things worse. I don't think he'd respond well to 'Hey Harry, remember that thing that my brother insinuated about me fancying you, well he's right. Don't worry, I won't send you anymore singing cards, though I think I've already taken to frequent staring.' Yes, that would be brilliant.

"I'm okay Harry, it's just," I sighed and looked in his eyes one last time. "I'm sorry for being a silly, stupid little girl."

"What? Ginny, what are you talking about?"

I didn't have to answer because at that moment Hermione banged through the library doors and came straight over to our table.

"What the hell is your problem Ginny?!"

"What?" Wasn't she supposed to be kissing my brother right now?

"You promised not to tell anyone!" Hermione was angrier than I'd ever seen her. I stood up to face her.

"Tell anyone what?" I had no idea what she was on about.

"About Ron!"

"I didn't! I told you that Ron likes you. You're supposed to be happy!" I looked over at Harry for help, but he was just looking back and forth between us with wide eyes.

"Nice try. Ron doesn't like me. I told you that."

"And I told you that you were wrong! He's practically in love with you."

For a second Hermione looked like she was going to cry.

"He doesn't love me. And because of you I'm not even sure if he's going to be my friend anymore. You just ruined my life."

"Hermione." Harry finally decided to speak up, but Hermione wasn't having any of it.

"Harry, shut it."

"Hermione," I tried.

"Ginny, I thought you were my friend. Don't ever speak to me again."

She left before I could say anything else. I don't know how Ron messed this one up. He loves her. I know he does. How could Hermione not see it? I mean it's fairly obvious when someone likes you. I knew when Michael liked me. Well, he did tell me that he liked me soon after we started hanging out. But I'm sure it would've been obvious even if he hadn't.

I sank down into my chair and leaned my head against the wooden table. This can't be happening. It was supposed to work out perfectly. Harry and I planned it all out. Ron and Hermione were supposed to admit their feelings for each other and live happily ever after.

"Ginny? Are you okay?" I tipped my head to the side at the sound of Harry's voice and glanced at his face before closing my eyes again. He had those worry wrinkles in his forehead again and his green eyes had looked at me intensely. Why is he acting all concerned? Doesn't he remember that he's ignoring me? Merlin, boys are bloody confusing.

"I'm sure Hermione didn't mean what she said Ginny. She and Ron probably got into a fight because they didn't know how to deal with their feelings for each other."

Why couldn't they act like normal people did when they found out that their feelings were requited? Just go off and snog somewhere. Somebody should be taking advantage of those empty classrooms. But no, they somehow had to go and mess things up.

"Why can't people just admit how they feel and live happily ever after?"

I looked over at Harry expecting him to nod in agreement, but instead he had this strangely stricken look on his face. What was with him lately? It can't be that bad to realize that I'm obsessed with him. He's dealt with it before.

"Erm...I don't know," he said shakily. "Look, Ginny, I have to go...erm, do something. I'll talk to you later."

He grabbed his books quickly and was out the door as I gave him a half-hearted wave. I should've known this would happen. Harry had already started ignoring me, now he was moving on to avoidance. Maybe Ron's comment had a two week delay.

I banged my head on the table. It was those longing looks, wasn't it? I should've kept my feelings for Harry more restrained. I let down my guard and scared him away.

"Miss Weasley," I recognized the sharp, crisp tone of Madam Pince's voice and lifted my head from the table, "Please refrain from damaging the library tables with your head. Everything in the library should be treated with respect. Consider this a warning."

Great, now the librarian hates me too. Harry, Hermione, Ron, and Madam Pince. And a few Slytherins, but that's nothing new. I should've realized that something like this was going to happen. Now, I'm gonna end up all alone with only a few kneazles to keep me company. This is all Ron's fault. Maybe I should restart my revenge list. Five hundred ways obviously isn't enough.

A/N: Things will continue with Hermione's POV in the next segment of the series - 500 Ways to Lose a Friend. I hope all of you read that one too when I start posting it. :)

Ginny McCartney - Glad you're enjoying the story! I hope you keep reading and reviewing. :)

FreckledIrishMaiden - Of course, all irish are cool ;) . Glad you enjoyed the last chapter and I hope you liked this one too. Ginny's a bit oblivious to Harry's signals, but there are still going to be two more stories in this series, so those two have a bit of time to figure things out. They are a cute couple, aren't they?

PurplePuss323 - Thanks for your review. I hope you liked this chapter too. :)

ginnyweasley418 - Glad you like the humor in the story. I hadn't thought about doing an epilogue about things a few years down the road, but you never know. I have to get through the now of things first. :) I'm happy you like this story so much that you want more.

eedoe - I simply loved getting your review. It's always exciting for me when people tell me exactly which parts of the story they really liked and for that reason I always enjoy getting your reviews. I have to say that I also enjoy Harry's teasing, which is why I have to put it in. Hope your ovaries are doing okay ;). As for updates, there will be plural...after all, we haven't gotten Hermione and Harry's sides of the story yet. I can't wait to hear from you again.

ButterbeerJelloShots - Glad you're enjoying the story and I hope you liked this chapter too!

Lion's Roar - Glad you liked it! And I can't wait to see you on the 25th, it'll be fun. Funny about the whole "us being related" thing, wasn't it? P.S. - I like the new name. Talk to you lata!

Essie - I'm happy to hear that you loved the story. With the talking in front of the Potions classroom thing, it would be suspicious, but Ginny and Harry knew that allowing Snape to overhear that conversation would give him the incentive to give Hermione a detention, which he'd love to do. In other words, they gave him the excuse they were looking for. As for the pot calling the kettle black, it is always easier to see things in others that you can't see in yourself. You'll definitely get more romance soon, things start looking up in the next installment

Lid'l Rogue - Here's the update, hope you liked it!

nutella - lol, they definitely are all clueless. Well, now you've seen Hermione's initial reaction. The tale will continue next from Hermione's point of view. And I'll all say about that is that they can't stay clueless forever, right? ;)

Echo256 - I'm glad you like the fic and hearing things from Ginny's POV. I hope you liked this chapter and continue reading now that I'm switching to Hermione's POV. :)

J.Rhaye - I'm glad you liked this chapter. You're spot on about Harry's motivations and frustrations in your interpretation and the reasons for Ginny's obliviousness to Harry's attentions. It was like taking a look into my own characterization and plotting process. Glad you love the tug of war. It'll continue for a bit and the two of them try and figure things out. As I'm sure you've seen by now, Ron and Hermione seem to be having a similar misunderstanding. Funny how things work out, isn't it? I always love to get your reviews and am awaiting your next one anxiously. :)
