A/N: I have nothing to say but hope you like it!
Disclaimer: Nope still nothing...
The first part of Ginny's plan was to ask Harry to forgive her. This part was not very hard. It seemed Harry was deeply depressed that he had made her cry. But the hard thing was that he was so ashamed at himself that he wouldn't face her.
Since Harry wouldn't talk to anyone other then Hermione and Ron, and rarely even do that, Hermione asked him to come to the common room. He came although very sulkily. When he got into the common room he was about to turn around when he saw Ginny but Hermione pushed him towards Ginny and left.
Since no one else was in the common room it was deadly quiet until Ginny broke the silence.
" Oh Harry I'm so sorry!" She said getting right to the point. " I don't even know why I didn't believe you. I was just being thick like you said."
Harry's eyes turned from misery to delight. " Ginny I should never have said that. Can you forgive me?"
" Of course but only if you forgive me too."
" Well I might have to think about that." He said scratching his chin. " Only joking, of course I'll forgive you."
Ginny gave Harry a big hug. " I just have one favor to ask, Harry."
" Anything." He said letting go of her.
" Well I have a plan to get back at Michael and... Well...I need you and Ron to help. Can you make him help?"
" Easily." Harry stated.
As Harry had planned Ron easily joined on. Ginny gave them all instructions on what to do.
" Ron can you send Pigwidgeon to Fred and George? They might give us a family discount, can't count on it though. You can order whatever you fancy. Here's some gold." Ginny said handing Ron a bag full on Galleons, Sickles, and Knuts.
" Where'd you get this?" He asked amazed.
" It's none of your business but if you must know I've been saving up for some time. I've been waiting to use it for something important. This seems like a good time."
Ron ran off to go send Pigwidgeon.
" Now Hermione you're going to be the diversion. You'll have to ask him if he'd like to go for a walk. Of course being the git he is he'll say yes. Well you'll have to walk around for a bit then pretend to kiss him. Only PRETEND." Ginny added as she saw the look on Hermione's face turn from looking on curiously to a shocked expression. " Harry and I will walk by as you're about to kiss him. I'll tell him off and you'll never have to even get near him. Harry will signal to Ron and he'll set off whatever he's buying. Sound good?"
" Yeah." Harry and Hermione said together.
Of course the first part of the plan went smoothly. Hermione got Michael outside without any difficulties.
As she was about to kiss him Ginny and Harry walked by.
" Michael! What are you doing?" Ginny yelled.
" Ginny! Nothing, honestly." Michael mumbled.
" Doesn't look like anything!" She screamed although she was trying with all her might not to burst out laughing.
" It was her." He said pointing at Hermione as she looked on as mad as a bull that he would even blame her although she had done it on purpose.
" She's the one who asked me out here."
Ginny walked up to him and slapped him across his face. " How could I have been so stupid to go out with you? And don't you dare accuse Hermione!"
Ginny pulled Hermione away from Michael while Harry yelled, " Now Ron!"
Ron, who had asked Fred and George for 'Weasleys' Wildfire Whiz-Bangs', set them off. Fred and George had given them to them for free, saying it was for a good cause.
But unfortunately Harry and Ron had placed them in the wrong place. They went off a few feet away, which Ginny realized later on, that it was probably safer that it didn't go off right beside him. Although by the look on his face he was plenty scared.
Harry, Ron, Hermione, and Ginny ran all the way back to the castle in a fit of laughter.
" Did you see his face?" Harry asked.
" He looked like he was about to wet himself. Probably did." Ron said.
" I have to say it was pretty funny." Hermione giggled. "Other then having to pretend to kiss him."
" I still can't believe you guys didn't tell me that." Ron said almost appalled that they hadn't told him.
" Well I think it turned out perfectly, Ginny." Harry said giving her a huge grin.
" And what do you think you're doing?" Came a cold voice behind them.
They all turned around to see a very greasy looking Professor Snape.
" Nothing." They all said.
" I don't but that for a second. Into my office all of you." He said pointing towards the dungeons.
They all walked to the dungeons in silence, each of them giving each other quizzical looks.
" IN!" He said pointing to his office.
They all walked in and sat down on the chairs he had made magically appear.
" Well?" Snape asked.
" Well what?" Harry questioned. He was the only one that looked calmed. Ron was in his chair, red in the face and cursing under his breath. Hermione looked like she had just been petrified. Ginny on the other hand was thinking about a quick excuse.
" You know what I mean, Potter. What were you doing in the halls?"
" Are we not allowed?" Harry asked trying to stay calm although Ginny could tell his temper was rising.
" You know, Potter, I don't like you attitude. Twenty points from Gryffindor."
" TWENTY POINTS! Are you insane?" Harry asked standing up.
" I do not like to be called names, Potter. Thirty points from Gryffindor. Now sit down before I take more." Snape spat.
Harry sat down but with a scowl on his face.
" Now I'll ask again. What were you doing in the hallway?"
Nobody answered.
" Well since no one will like to talk I think a weeks detention, each, will do justice. That will teach you to answer when asked a question. Now leave!" He said before writing down their detentions.
When they were safely away from the dungeons Ron let out a groan.
" A whole week! And the git didn't even know what we did!"
Ginny looked over at Hermione. She wasn't blinking.
" Hermione are you okay?" Ginny asked.
" Oh come off it. You've had detentions before." Ron said.
" A whole week." Hermione muttered.
" Let's let her get over the shock." Harry said while laughing at Hermione.
" Well I think it was worth it." He added.
" I suppose so." Hermione said coming out of her trance.
"She's alive!" Ron said.
They all turned the corner to the entrance of the common room.
" Password?" The Fat Lady asked.
" Pig snout." Ginny said.
The portrait swung open.
" I still can't believe that slime would do such a thing!" Ron said shocked.
" Probably wanted to think of a good enough goal. And to wait for Fred and George to leave, but that was ages ago." Hermione stated.
" What? And I couldn't have handled him!?" Ron said.
" Oh hush up Ron." Ginny said.
After about an hour of talking about Michael non-stop they decided to go down to dinner.
" I'm starving!" Ron whined.
" Me too." Harry agreed.
" You guys act like you never eat." Hermione said as Ginny nodded behind her.
" Hey a boys got to grow right?" Harry said.
" Food!" Ron said sitting down and filling his plate until you couldn't see anymore of the golden plate. Harry did the same.
" Um 'ood." Ron said.
" Ron will you learn how to talk with NO food in your mouth?" Ginny asked.
Ron scowled while Harry chuckled.
" What can we say? When a boys hungry we're hungry. Take my cousin Dudley for example." Harry pointed out.
" True." Ginny agreed.
" I still think you need to learn some manners. You know there are classes that teach that in the Muggle world. Maybe I should recommend that to Professor McGonogall..."
With that Hermione was off.
"Where's she going?" Ron asked.
"Most likely the library." Ginny answered.
"Look!" Ron said pointing to the doors. Michael had just arrived and was trying to act as though nothing happened. Although he took the long way to his table, avoiding them.
When they were all fed and happy they got up to leave. Ron and Harry had wide grins on their faces. Ginny felt they were up to something. And she was right. When they walked by his table they both yelled "Kaboom!" and laughed as he jumped in his chair.
"About 7 inches I'd say." Harry said.
"No, more about 17 inches." Ron said.
"Ron we all know he didn't jump 17 inches."
"What's wrong with stretching the truth a little?"
"Uhh."
"Well I'm going to go see what Hermione's up to." Ron said as he headed towards the library.
Ginny and Harry were once again left alone.
"Thanks for helping today, Harry." Ginny said.
"My pleasure. Had to get back at him at some point. Might as well have had your permission." He said grinning.
"Harry! Will you please listen?"
Someone from behind them was yelling. They turned around to see Cho running towards them. Harry groaned.
"Not again." He said.
"Be nice." Ginny warned.
"Harry, will you please listen?" Cho desperately asked.
"If I have to." He said.
"Can we go somewhere then? So we can be alone." She said looking towards Ginny. Ginny gave her a nasty smile.
"You can say whatever you want but I'm not leaving." Harry stated.
"Oh never mind then." She groaned. And with that she vanished.
"What was that all about?" Ginny questioned.
"Oh, she keeps pestering me. Saying sorry and crummy things like that."
"Oh, not fun I suppose?"
"No, it's just great having a stalker." He said.
Ginny lightly punched him in the arm.
"Ow!" He said rubbing his arm.
"Oh that did not even hu-"
"Well well, look who it is. Potter and Weasley." Draco Malfoy was leaning on a wall staring at them. And to their surprise with no Crabbe or Goyle by him. They were still probably pigging out in the Great Hall. "So Potter, I heard that you and Chang are no longer an item? Came to her senses eh?"
Harry was about to punch Malfoy but Ginny pulled him back.
"Now now Potter, you don't want to start fights with me in front of your girlfriend. You'll be awfully embarrassed."
"She's not my girlfriend." Harry said.
"That's quite right Potter. She's your fantasy."
"Ginny is not my girlfriend. And she never will be!" Harry shouted full of rage.
Ginny started to tremble.
Harry looked at her as though he had forgotten she was still there. "Ginny, I didn't mean that."
But she ran off with tears about to burst from her eyes.
She could hear Harry running after her, but she didn't feel like looking at his face. So she ran into the only place he wouldn't go: the girls' lavatory.
But once again, she was wrong. Harry ran in there anyway.
"Ginny, just listen to me." He pleaded.
"Go away Harry!" She said through sobs.
"Ginny-"
"GO AWAY!" She screamed.
But this didn't faze Harry. "Ginny just listen, please?"
"I don't want to talk to you, or even look at you. Just leave me alone." Ginny said, tears streaking down her face.
Harry finally got the picture and left.
How could he say that? Am I only Ron's little sister to him? Not even his friend?
Ginny looked at herself in the mirror. Her eyes were swollen and her cheeks were wet with tears. She turned on the faucet and caught some water with her cupped hand. She splashed it on her face. It felt refreshing. She dried her face and left the bathroom and headed for the common room.
"Something wrong dear?" The Fat Lady questioned.
"Pigsnout." Ginny said. She really didn't feel like talking about her love life to the Fat Lady.
The Fat Lady let her in. Ginny walked into the common room. It was half full. She saw Hermione and Ron talking in a corner. She wasn't in the mood to talk so she decided to try to sneak past them. She failed to sneak properly.
"Ginny, over here!" Hermione shouted, waving her hands around.
Ginny couldn't be rude and ignore her so she walked over to her and Ron.
"Oh Hermione, don't get her involved." Ron groaned.
"Hush up." Hermione snapped. "You know what just happened?" Before Ginny could answer, Hermione started talking again. "Professor McGonagoll won't start a manners class. I did some research and found out all about it. Not too hard though."
"Oh Hermione, no one would join." Ron said, rolling his eyes.
"I would."
"So we're going to have a class for only one person?"
"No, you and Harry would join."
"We would, eh? Maybe Harry, but I sure wouldn't."
"Then you still want to be a pig? Guess you're too much of one to change."
"Is that right?" Ron shouted.
Ginny took this argument to make a quick getaway. Hermione and Ron didn't even look up while she moved away.
She walked up to her door and walked in. She jumped on top of her four-poster bed. She laid her face in her pillow. It smelled fresh. She leaned over the side of her bed and pulled out her diary from under her mattress.
"Well today was good and bad. We pulled the prank on Michael. It worked great. But then later on Harry told Draco that I would never be his girlfriend. Am I that ugly? Maybe its just time to move on. Maybe put my feelings about Harry to rest? That's what I'll do. I'm going to put my feelings for him in a box and throw it in the ocean. But even if I go that far, will it even work?"
Ginny went through these questions about a hundred times, until she fell asleep.
