"Welcome back to a new year at Hogwarts! Now, before we start our excellent feast, I would like to introduce our new Head Boy and Girl, Terry Boot and Hermione Granger!" Much applause came, especially from the Gryffindor and Ravenclaw tables. Ron's eyes met Lavender's and she nodded. Ron's eyes wandered to Harry's who was clapping very hard, but had a look on his face that clearly said 'lay one hand on her, Boot, and I'll hex you into the next millennium. Believe me, I will.' Ron grinned as the applause died down.
"Dig in!" Dumbledore said happily before sitting down and talking with Professor Flitwick. Lavender leaned over and said, "Parvati, would you help me out a bit?"
"Sure Lav, but with what?"
"Ron and I want to hook up Harry and Hermione." Lavender grinned.
"Oooh, when do we start?"
"No idea, but don't tell anyone else, Parvati."
"Oh don't worry, I won't tell a soul." Parvati put her hand over her heart.
Lavender turned back to her food and began eating. Meanwhile...
"Hey Ginny, would you be able to help your big bro out a bit?"
"Er okay, what do you need help with?"
"Lavender and I are planning to do a sort of matchmaking service for Harry and Hermione. We want to set them up with each other."
"That's great Ron! I'll help out!"
"Excellent. Lav asked Parvati, and I need to talk to Seamus."
"Why Seamus, Ron?"
"Because
he has a bet going on with Ernie Macmillan on when our lovebirds are
going to get together."
"Oh alright." Ginny turned back
to her plate. Ron looked up and saw Harry having a conversation with
Hermione. With a smile, he noticed how Hermione was blushing slightly
as Harry went on about who he thought the new DADA teacher was. Their
plans would work out well.
"So, Ron what's our first plan?" Seamus asked eagerly.
"Well, Seamus, we know that the lovebirds like each other already, so somehow, they need to be in a romantic situation that will help them realize that the other person likes them."
"Well how about a stroll around the lake, just the two of them?" Parvati asked.
"But how are we going to get the two of them alone, now that Cho Chang wants Harry back as her love interest?" Ginny said worriedly.
"I know, Cho's one of our biggest problems." Lavender said despairingly.
"We'll just have to get her out of the picture then." Ron said.
"So, back to our plan. How about we get Hermione to take a walk alone, then Harry, and they 'coincidently' meet? We can use Parvati's idea and it won't seem like we're setting them up if they accidentally meet." Seamus said, laying out his plan.
"Bloody hell, that's...brilliant! Is everyone okay with that?" Ron asked happily. The others nodded. "Okay, I'll send out notes to each one of you tomorrow. Operation Matchmaker is under way!"
AN: I know I left the chapter hanging, but I wrote this around ten o' clock, so I was a bit worn out. In the next update will be the "Walk"! Will it be successful or will Cho Chang ruin it all? (For all CC lovers, I'm sorry but I never liked Cho, even though I'm Asian too.) I plan to finish this fic, unlike my other ones. BTW, this is the first HP/HG fic I ever wrote. All my others are DM/HG.
