They're still not mine except of course Alfred!
Chapter 9
Things were starting to get tough for Hermione. Harry was still questioning her about Shannon. To be honest, it was getting really annoying, she had more important things to worry about, like her studies and being a good prefect. She seemed to spend more time sorting out her friend's love lives than her own. Alfred was getting more and more persistent. Perhaps this was because he was feeling more confident as the students seemed to show him more respect. Well, maybe he believed that, Hermione had a feeling that people thought he was too weird, even to pick on. She was certainly questioning her own judgement now. Anyway, the latest incident with Harry was coming to a head.
"What sort of things does she like doing?" Harry insisted "Does she like Quidditch?"
"How would I know?"
"You said....."
"I know what I said but I don't live inside her mind!"
"But..."
"Look, I can't take this anymore" Hermione hissed, the common room was not the ideal place to have this conversation. "I thought you cared about Ginny too much to be playing this sort of game. All this asking about Shannon, anyone would think you fancy her."
Harry glared at Hermione and watched as Lavender walked past them to pick up a book.
"I don't fancy her, I'm just curious coz she's new. Anyway, I do care about Ginny, I care so much it hurts that I can't be with her. It's worse now that Ron's starting to talk to me again coz I can't even talk to him without feeling guilty about caring so much."
"Harrt, it's no good telling me that, it's Ron and Ginny you should be telling. I'm going to bed now, you should too, it's Double Potions first thing."
"Sure, what a great start to the day." He groaned as they headed there separate ways.
In one corner of the common room, Lavender was giggling with Parvati.
"You know, we could have a lot of fun with this" Lavender suggested.
"Yeah" agreed Parvarti "let's do it!"
***
That night, Harry had hardly been able to sleep, he'd been thinking about what Hermione had said. He missed Ginny. He missed her smile, the way she laughed, the odd comments she often made. Most of all, he missed her gentleness and her ability to cheer him up. He had to do something about it and soon, but first he had to get through Potions alive.
Meanwhile, Lavender and Parvati had developed a plan that would maintain their reputation for being the biggest trouble stirrers in the school. They were wasting no time in putting this plan into action.
Ginny and Mia walked along the corridor toward the Charms classroom. As usual, they were early, they were in their OWLs year and were planning not failing Charms. History of Magic was another matter.
"Can Professor Binns get anymore boring?!" Mia groaned "I'll never pass History of Magic if I keep falling asleep in the lessons!"
"I know what you mean, I keep on missing up all the names and dates."
They were just about to round the corner when they heard Harry's name mentioned.
"Shh" said Ginny, holding up her hand as she listened to what was being said.
"Who could have thought it of Harry? It's just so not him!"
"Well, I always thought there was some animal in him, I guess it's a male thing."
"But I always thought he was obsessed with Ginny."
"I don't know, maybe she wasn't enough for him, maybe that's the real reason they split."
"Well, Shannon must have something extra, why else would he fancy her?"
"I don't know Pav. I wander if she likes him back? Bet she does, who couldn't resist someone like Harry?!"
"We'll have to find out!"
The pair giggled as they disappeared off to Herbology.
Ginny's jaw dropped in a mixture of shock and surprise. Mia looked at her,
"Ginny...." but Ginny didn't hear as she raced for the nearest toilets and was violently sick. Five minutes later, she emerged, pale and shaking.
"Ginny, I...."
"Come on, we're going to be late"
"But.."
"I don't want to talk about it, not now."
Mia watched in amazement as Ginny disappeared round the corner.
"Ginny, wait up!" she yelled, following her round the corner.

Colin Creevey stumbled into the Gryffindor common room and collapsed into an armchair.
"Man, my nerves are shot, I don't think I can take anymore of Snape."
"Why's that Colin?" asked Seamus.
"Just another traumatic Potions lesson and yet another detention!"
"Know that feeling" said Neville from behind a book.
"I don't think I'll ever pass my OWL. I just don't seem to be able to get quantities right, not to mention putting them in, in the right order that is!" Colin moaned.
"You need someone like Hermione mate" muttered Neville "she save my skin on numerous occasions, even helped me scrape a pass."
"I've kinda got someone like that" Colin blushed.
"Who's that then?" Neville asked, finally emerging from his Herbology book.
"I can't...."
"Oh come on Colin" urged Seamus "There's no-one else here, just me and Nev. It's not like Lavender or Parvati are around!"
"Ok.it's Ginny Weasley. She's brilliant at Potions and always knows what she's doing. She helps me when I get it wrong, I don't know why, she's just so kind."
"Really singing her praises, eh Col?!" Seamus smiled "sounds like someone's got a crush!"
Colin blushed furiously, quickly denying it.
"Oh come on, Neville never praised Hermione like that and she did an awful lot for him!"
"That's true" agreed Neville "sounds like you fancy her good and proper! Wouldn't let Harry and Ron know though!"
"I've got no chance with her so there's no need for her to know, or anyone else for that matter." He glared at Seamus and Neville.
"Cool, it won't pass our lips, will it Nev?"
"Nope. I'm knackered so I'm gonna hit the sack, 'night!"
"Night then" came the reply.
***
"This just gets better and better!" Lavender sniggered "it's good to know our recording device is still useful."
"Definitely! Are you thinking what I'm thinking?"
Lavender nodded "You know, I think it's time to arrange a little rendez- vous!"
