Chapter one- Fate Finder

"That's not fair to me Ron!" Hermione said with the usual fire in her eyes when discussing Viktor came up.

"How is it fair to me then?" Ron asked.

Ron and Hermione had been friends since their first year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, and only now started to even show their true feelings, which had been growing for just over six years, though they were still categorized in the 'single' status.

"Fair to you?!" Hermione asked incredulously. "What do you mean fair to you?"

"Well, if you don't know I'm not going to tell you," Ron said, really not wanting to tell her what he suspected.

"Fine, Ron, you don't have to worry about seeing my letters from Viktor anymore," Hermione stated.

"Good," Ron spat back.

"Because I'm going to stay with him," Hermione said, turning on her heel and making her way out of Ron's room. Ron stood stalk still, not knowing what to say after that back fired on him so well.

Hermione had left the door open and Ron's younger sister, Ginny, popped her head in for a brief second. "I'll go talk to her," Ginny said, before going back out.

Harry and Ginny had taken to going out into the hallway whenever the two of them fought, which seemed to grow more intense since Ron found a letter from Viktor Krum, requesting for Hermione to come spend the rest of the summer with him in Bulgaria. Harry came into the room, "that didn't go over too well."

"Shut up Harry," Ron said defensively.

"Hey, don't turn this on me," Harry said forcefully, not liking when he became the focus of Ron's anger. "Why don't you just get over her writing to Krum?"

"GET OVER IT? WHAT DO YOU MEAN GET OVER IT?!" Ron said.

"I just mean she can have other friends, can't she? I mean G-" Harry stuttered a bit, "George has his own friends and - er- Fred doesn't seem to mind," Harry recovered.

"Yeah, well they're brothers this is different!" Ron said, missing the stutter much to Harry's thankfulness.

"How?" Harry said, wondering if Ron would actually admit he wanted to date Hermione.

"You wouldn't understand," Ron muttered, then walked out of his room, and stomping all the way down the stairs.

Harry had given up trying to reason with Ron at times like this, so he laid down on the bed Mrs. Weasley had put in there for him, and put his hands under his head. He didn't bother moving or looking over when Ginny entered the room. "I can't believe those two sometimes," she said sitting at the foot of Harry's bed and crossing her legs under her.

"Me either," Harry said. Ginny and Harry had started dating when he came to the Burrow nearly a month prior. They had decided against telling Ron because of how his attitude had changed toward Dean Thomas during that seven month relationship. Hermione knew, though, and helped them get some private time by distracting Ron with chess or by making him do some homework.

Harry sat up, allowing for Ginny to lean against him, and started to give her a light massage. "I mean, really, I write to Dean still and you don't make a huge deal out of it," Ginny stated factually.

"Righ—what?!" Harry asked, pulling Ginny toward him and looking at her.

"I told you that," Ginny said.

"When?" Harry asked.

"When I told you he was visiting Seamus for the summer."

"I don't remember that." Harry was obviously starting to get upset.

"We had just finished playing Quidditch; two weeks ago… what's the big deal anyway?"

"You used to date him!"

"Exactly, I used to," Ginny said turning herself around to face Harry. "That doesn't mean I can't be friends with Dean. It wasn't like some big horrible breakup or anything." Just after six months Dean had started to develop feelings for Parvati, and Ginny just realized she wasn't completely falling over herself being with Dean. It was in writing to Harry while he was at the Dursleys that feelings sparked and a relationship blossomed between Harry and Ginny.

"Why does he still write to you? I doubt it's because he wants to be 'just friends'!" Harry's words were full of spite and jealousy.

Ginny picked up the nearest pillow, wishing it were a bigger and harder object, threw it at Harry's head, and stated, "you're so unbelievable!" Ginny then stood and went to sympathize with Hermione.

"No, Ginny wait," Harry called after her, but she was already making her way down the stairs to the kitchen, where Molly had been talking to Hermione.

Ron stood in the garden, taking gnomes and flinging them as far as he could, pretending each was a miniature Viktor Krum. "Stupid prat," Ron said, which was considerably mild compared to what he had been saying before that.

"Who's the prat?" a nasally American voice asked from behind Ron, making the lanky teenager jump before pulling wand on the strange woman.

"Who are you?" he asked.

"I asked first: who's the prat?" The woman had medium brown hair, and eyes that sparkled. Ron wasn't sure, but she seemed to have glitter all over as well.

"Viktor Krum," Ron said through clenched teeth.

"Oh, that sweet boy?"

"Sweet? SWEET?" Ron exclaimed, letting his guard down along with his wand.

"Yes, very romantic too, but I suppose that's why you have problems with him." The woman sat on a bench and crossed her legs.

"How did you know that?"

"I know it all, honey," the woman stated. She moved over a bit and patted the spot right next to her.

Ron, forgetting all distrust, sat next to her and looked, hoping she might have the answers to all his girl problems. "Who are you again?" Ron asked, not sure if she had ever answered that.

"Oh, sorry," the woman held her right hand out daintily, and didn't start talking until Ron had shaken it. "Claudia Phelps," she added, handing a business card to Ron.

Cupid Inc.
Claudia Phelps
Fate Finder

"Fate Finder?"

"Yes," Claudia said as she looked in a hand held mirror. "We help people along when the road gets bumpy in a relationship, or when a meant-to-be meeting looks like it might fail to happen."

"Why haven't I heard of you?" Ron posed the question skeptically.

"We usually don't do the personal appearance sort of thing, but you've probably heard of some of the more famous couples I've helped pair up."

"Like who?"

"Have you ever heard of Romeo and Juliet?"

"Yeah," Ron said, eyes going wide. "That was you?"

"Yes, but they've reassigned me to more stable cases since then," Claudia said, looking off into space and remembering the all to disastrous job.

"Who else?"

"Oh, a few others, but that's not what's important right now; what's important is that you realize you're pushing Hermione away with your jealousy," Claudia explained.

"But it's not my fault she still writes to Krum… am I supposed to just accept that?" Ron asked incredulously.

"Why not accept it?"

"BECAUSE HE'S IN LOVE WITH HER!" Ron shouted.

"But does she love him," Claudia asked, a knowing smirk on her face.

"Well… that's not… I mean it doesn't mean…" Ron tried to come up with something to retort with, but could think of nothing.

"I've got to go work on some other things, or your friend will be having a visit from me too," Claudia said standing up.

"Who? Harry?" Ron asked, his eyebrows furrowing.

"Yes," Claudia said shortly.

"But who's he having problems with?" Ron asked, wondering why Harry hadn't mentioned anything.

"Let me see," Claudia looked at her clipboard and found Harry's name on the list. "Ms. Ginevra Weasley." She looked back up at Ron, who was in shock. "Have a good evening," she added with a smile, and slowly faded until she was gone.

Ron's mind, now emptied of all hate for Viktor, turned directly on Harry, and he made his way back into the house.

A/N: Here's a bit of fluff... something somewhat inspired by Crescent and co. (sorry I can't remember what comes after 'Ginomai') but anyway... Hope you enjoy. Please review and take a look at my other stuff!
