Ron entered the dorm room to find Harry still awake and sucking on the end of a quill with a parchment in front of him.
"Hey mate what you thinking so hard about", Ron asked as he headed toward his dresser.
"Oh....nothing"
"Really"
"Yup"
"Okay but if you won't tell me then I won't tell you what happened while you were up here doing god knows what"
"What happen", Harry asked looking curious.
"Tell me what you are doing first", Ron said smiling.
"You are just being an ass right now aren't you?"
"Yeah"
"Fine I was thinking of Ginny and I was about to write something but I lost my train of thought"
"Wow aren't you just a regular genius"
"Yeah isn't it funny, now tell me what happened downstairs"
"Well........everyone was congratulating Gin on her prank and guess who she asks for"
"Who....", Harry said getting nervous.
"She asked where you were.......now if she really did hate you why in the world would she care where you were", Ron said smiling wider as Harry let the sentence process through his mind. When it finally did he formed a smile bigger than Ron's.
"She wanted to see me", Harry said or actually yelled out loud.
"Shut up Harry before you wake up the whole house", Ron said shaking his head.
"Did she say anything else?"
"No.......but I did tease her about wanting to kiss you and she admitted to it but of course she was being a stubborn cow and said you didn't deserve it..........but I think you're going to change her mind about that"
"Well I'm tired and I need all the rest I can get if my whole performance is going to work properly"
"Man I still can't believe what you are making me do...doesn't the title of bets friend mean anything at all"
"Yeah, it means whenever you need me or I need you no questions ask we will stick together", Harry said sternly.
"Darn the damn friendship code..........humiliation should cancel me out of all this"
"Too bad you're in and staying"
"I know.........night Harry"
"Night"
Harry woke up to see Ron awake and tearing the curtains apart so that the sunlight shined directly on Harry.
"Ron at least let me wake up first before you blind me", Harry said while he quickly covered his face with the covers.
"And miss you squirm never.....now get your lazy ass up before I make you get up"
"Ron you couldn't conjure a cup of ice if you wanted to", Harry said still under the covers. He did have to get up since today his little performance was going to begin. He remembered the look of confusion on Ginny's face last night when he mouthed the words 'the show has just begun'. He knew she had no clue what was going on and that it probably stayed in her mind all last night. Harry was so caught up in those thoughts of his that he didn't notice that he was practically hitting the top of his bed.
"Harry either you get ready or you're going to force me to drop you from the ceiling"
"What are you talking about I am not on the freaking........", Harry stopped mid-sentence when he pulled off his covers and noticed he was really levitating above his bed.
"Shit Ron put me down.........you might kill me or something", Harry said and he sounded surprised.
"Are you telling me Harry Potter is afraid of being slammed into the wall", Ron said amusingly.
"Yes, especially if you are the one behind the wand"
"What is that suppose to mean"
"Its means you almost killed everyone in the beginning of the year when you accidentally made your little grasshopper grow to at least seven feet tall"
"Not my fault"
"Then I'm not really a seeker", Harry said sarcastically.
"Fine I'll just leave you up there and then you can kiss you little project good-bye", Ron said pretending to leave the room.
"Damn it Ron put me down and I'll get ready okay"
"Good" Harry got ready but he purposely moved slower than usual just to make Ron irritated. After thirty minutes of Harry's slow movements and Ron's eye rolls they finally went down to the common room. Hermione was waiting for them and looking very impatient.
"Hello beautiful", Ron said giving he a kiss on the cheek.
"Don't hello beautiful me, I thought we were suppose to be doing something very important I have been waiting for over thirty minutes", Hermione said tapping her foot on the ground.
"Don't blame me it's Harry's fault he wouldn't hurry up"
"Hey don't get mad at me either", Harry said taking a step back from Hermione.
"Look I don't care but to let you two know Gin already left ten minutes ago. So we are behind schedule", Hermione said tiredly. They could all be sleeping in, but not this weekend and Hermione didn't like it.
"Sorry we won't make you wait again"
"You better not Harry or you are going to have to think of new plans"
"So what are we going to do first anyway", Ron said stretching.
"Well we are suppose to meet the cupids now and tell them how to do everything", Harry said. Most of the cupids they met were a bit too mushy and tried very much to shoot Harry with an arrow while he was talking to Hermione. Ron almost got hit by an arrow while looking at a very plump woman walking by.
"Great.......if they dare try to hit us with those damn love arrows again I'm going to hex them and clip their wings", Ron said while he received a look of pure horror from Hermione.
"No you can't Ronald Weasley, they are very cute little things and it's in their job description to make people feel in love for a day so no clipping of anything"
"Fine....but I will hex them"
"Look you two you can fight about cupid safety later right now we are wasting time", Harry said walking right out of the common room with Ron and Hermione behind him.
"Harry are you sure they won't start shooting at other people....I mean love is great and all but I don't want to see people snogging in hallways", Hermione said as she walked along side Harry.
"I'm positive........plus I told them if they shot any student it would have serious consequences"
"Like what", Ron asked.
"Like Hogwarts won't be hiring them anymore and stuff." They walked all the way toward the front of the Quidditch pitch and waited for the cupids to show up. Almost immediately Harry saw about ten cupids flying toward them.
"Hello Sylia", Harry said to the little cupid that landed in front of him.
"Hello Mister Potter", she said politely while the others smiled at him.
"Sylia do you know what to do"
"Yes, we are to follow Miss Weasley around sir and do not worry I have warned my partners not to shoot at anyone but her"
"What are in the arrows", Harry asked wanting to make sure that the arrows wouldn't make her fall in love with anyone.
"They are filled with the potion Miss Granger gave us and only that"
"Okay.......thank you so much Sylia for helping us out on this"
"Anything for you sir.....you have showed us great kindness"
"Harry we should get going, we still have to do our part also", Ron said with Hermione nodding in agreement.
"Right.........Sylia we have to go I'll see you later", Harry said smiling at the group of cupids in front of them.
"Of course.............everyone let's get to work we are wasting time", Sylia said turning away from Harry as the other cupids hurriedly took flight toward Hogwarts.
"Good luck on your part Mister Potter", Sylia shouted as she flew away.
"Well Harry let's get going too", Hermione said and they went back toward Hogwarts. They entered the Great Hall to find that Ginny was already there and eating with Colin. He felt jealous toward Colin for being able to sit with Ginny and smile. He wanted to be near Ginny to hold her and make her laugh, but she would probably hit him if he tried. Harry, Ron, and Hermione took their usual seat and immediately Ron started consuming food faster than he could talk.
"Harry don't look now but I think our show is about to start", Hermione said happily as she pointed up above Harry's head. Harry turned around to see Sylia and the others flying around and forming a heart. The girls looked absolutely thrilled while the boys looked a bit frightened. Harry looked toward Ginny to see her smiling and giggling at the sight. She caught Harry's eye and she couldn't but smile wider. Harry watched her stand up and walk toward Harry, but something got in her way. Sylvia flew down in front of Ginny smiling.
"Are Miss Weasley", she said looking up at Ginny.
"Yes I am", Ginny said uncertainly while looking up at Harry then looking back down at Sylvia. All of the sudden Sylvia raised her hands and the other cupids flew down to her.
"We are here on your behalf Miss Weasley and we hope that you enjoy all you see", Sylvia said cheerfully as she took flight again. They circled around her while glitter fell around Ginny. Small bubble hearts went shooting out of the glitter and surrounded everyone in the Great Hall. Sylvia floated down lower to Ginny and roses appeared in her hands. Girls looked at Ginny with envy while boys looked at her wondering who did this.
"In all of Hogwarts you are the one he wants. With every freckle and every glance his heart calls your name. No matter what blocks his way toward your heart he will conquer and plead for your heart. Only you catch his eye and only you bring joy. Without you in his arm the light is taken and darkness falls upon him. My dear Miss Weasley let these words settle inside you and hope that you will believe that you are his savior his everything", Sylvia said and once she finished flew up and the others began to shoot arrows up to the ceiling and gold glitter filled the air forming the words 'I love you and always will' and rose petals came falling upon the students. The cupids smiled and flew away and the Great Hall burst into applause. Ginny stood still as she still tried to register what had just occurred. She couldn't help but smile at the words Sylvia said and she walked toward Hermione and Ron.
"Hi guys", Ginny said sitting down and then she looked at the seat next to her and found it empty.
"Hi Gin", Hermione said smiling.
"Hey", Ron said while eating his food.
"Ummm where is Harry"
"Oh he had something to do", Ron said trying hard not to laugh.
"Well I just wanted to thank him for the little show and all"
"Really I thought he hated the sight of him....unless that was just a little act", Hermione said putting her hands on the table and looking at Ginny.
"Well ummm.........", Ginny said trying to find an excuse with no such luck.
"Well what Gin. Did you just pretend to hate Harry because you wanted him to suffer", Ron said looking at Ginny with a smile.
"Ummm...."
"Gin you're not making sense either you want Harry or you don't but you can't keep smiling then glaring at him every minute of every day", Hermione said.
"I don't know.........I'm angry at him but then I care about him to"
"Well Gin then we can't help you until you figure everything out you're just going to have to watch Harry walk away", Ron said standing up with Hermione following.
"I'm sorry Gin but this time I'm siding with Ron. If you love Harry then tell him but don't drag him along. He did that little performance for you but now I don't think he will be able to keep pleading for your love forever", Hermione said beginning to walk away with Ron holding her hand.
"Hermione I do love him but I don't want to get hurt again", Ginny said running up to Hermione.
"If you're afraid of getting hurt then you really don't love him. Gin you are my best friend so let me give you some advice. Love isn't perfect and you will get hurt but Harry would never make hurt the way you're afraid to get hurt", Hermione said leaving the Great Hall.
"Ginny are you okay", Colin asked as he came up behind her.
"Yeah"
"Then why do you like someone just told you Santa wasn't real"
"Because I just realized if I don't stop playing with Harry's mind I'm going to lose him completely"
"Then I guess you have to talk to him", Colin said.
"I'll see you later then", Ginny said walking out of the Great Hall. She looked in the library, the common room, and even the room of requirement but Harry was no where in sight. Ginny finally went back into the common room and fell onto the couch. She sat there thinking of where Harry was until she smacked her head.
"How could I be so stupid", Ginny said as she headed for the boys' dormitory. She went up the stairs and knocked on the door.
"Who's there", Harry's voice came from behind the door.
"It's me Ginny" The door slowly opened and Harry's head popped out.
"May I help you"
"I was wondering if I can come in"
"Yeah sure", Harry said opening the door letting Ginny walk in. She stood in the middle as Harry went over to his bed and sat down.
"Have a seat", Harry said patting the bed. Ginny walked over and took a seat.
"So what did you want to talk about?"
"Well I just wanted to tell you that I thought what you did for me earlier at breakfast......and that I'm sorry for dragging you along this whole time while all you wanted me to do was forgive you"
"Oh....well Ginny"
"No let me finish........I also want you to know that I love you and I want us to be together again", Ginny said and she waited for Harry to speak. When he finally did she didn't like what she heard.
"Ginny I have waited almost a month to hear you say you love me but now I don't know if I want it anymore"
"Gin I love you but I think I finally figured out that we can't be together like we use to.....Gin you played with me and I guess now I just can't be with you anymore. That little show yeah it was for you but things change I couldn't stop what was going to happen today I'm sorry Gin but nothing is the same anymore", Harry said.
"I understand.....I'm sorry", Ginny said standing up and walking out but not before Harry heard her cry.
"Harry you are going to burn in hell for this", Ron said coming out of the bathroom with Hermione behind him.
"I know but everything is going very well and I'm not going to stop now"
"You are just down right mean....but as long as you guys end up together then Ron and I won't kill you for making her cry just now", Hermione said.
"As long as she thinks I don't care for her anymore then everything else we do will appear to be just a secret admirer after her heart"
"Right well now what do we do", Ron asked.
"Our homework Mister Weasley have you forgotten we were assigned practically four essays due on Monday", Hermione said sternly.
"No I didn't but can't we just not do it"
"Certainly not.....get your books both of you and meet me in the common room or I will go find Ginny and tell her that this whole thing was an act and that Harry does want her"
"Okay okay we will be down in a minute"
"Good", Hermione said walking out and closing the door behind her.
"Man she is one scary force not to be reckoned with", Harry said getting his backpack.
"That's why I love her"
"Bloody hell Ron don't make me barf"
"Shut up"
"Just don't get all mushy with me", Harry said smiling.
"Fine but I want to say something to you before we go downstairs"
"Okay but be quick or your girlfriend will come up her and kill us"
"I just wanted to say that I don't want Ginny to cry anymore on this plan and if she does I will kill you myself...got it"
"Got it...don't worry Ron I'm not planning on failing", Harry said as they walked downstairs into the common room. The three of them were thinking the same thing that Harry's plan better work and not blow up in their face, but Harry was praying harder that the plan would work.
