Misunderstandings

Chapter 2- Before the Quidditch Match

Ginny dragged Hermione back to her dorm room, and sat her on her bed.

'Are you ok?' Ginny asked, sensitively, sitting next to her.
'Yea, I guess.' Hermione answered quietly, fiddling with her bed spread. 'Why have they never said anything before? I had no idea they were.'
'Gay?' Ginny suggested. Hermione buried her head in her hands.
'How can you take this so calmly?' Hermione asked. 'I thought you really liked Harry.'
'I do.' Ginny sighed.
'I just don't understand.' Hermione said. 'They don't really seem the type.'
'Yea.' Ginny agreed. 'Ive never noticed it before, and Ron's my brother, and I stalked Harry for three years!'
'What do we do?' Hermione said, fiddling with bed covers again. 'Do we tell them we know?'
'We can't.' Ginny sighed. 'It would be too awkward. We should just leave it.'
'But how can we?' Hermione stressed. 'I love Ron.' Hermione put a hand on her head, and sighed.
'I know what you mean.' Ginny expressed. 'But what else can we do?'
'Well, maybe they bat for both sides.' Hermione said.
'Yea!' Ginny smiled. 'That must be it! Or maybe its just a mid life crisis!'
'So theres still hope?' Hermione asked.
'Sure!' Ginny grinned. 'Its probably just a faze. They'll get over it.with some help.'
Ginny's face lit up. She had an idea.
'What do you mean 'help?'' Hermione asked.
'We need to help them realize how much they like girls.' Ginny explained.
'How?' Hermione asked, interested. 'You don't mean.?'
'Yes.' Ginny said. 'All we have to do is flirt with them! Make them realize how much they like us really. Harry should be easy to convince, I mean, he had a girlfriend last year! But Ron on the other hand, could be difficult. Do you accept this mission Hermione?'
'Are you sure about this?' Hermione asked, unconvinced.
'Totally sure!' Ginny said confidently, standing up.
'What will I have to do?' Hermione asked.
'Flirt, giggle, be feminine!' Ginny suggested. 'Do lots of arm touching and smiling, and be a damsel in distress, boys love that! On the downside, you may have to do a bit of hand holding, or maybe even kiss him.'
'You say it as if it's a bad thing.' Hermione sighed.
Hermione got up the next morning, with the up coming task on her mind. She would flirt with Ron, and make him realize how much he liked girls, and maybe even how much he liked her in the process.
She took a shower, and washed her hair with some strawberry shampoo she had got for Christmas. She looked at herself in the bathroom mirror. If she was going to change Ron's mind about girls, she would have to make some changes. She took out her wand and did a simple severing charm on her hair, to cut the dead ends off. It now just brushed her shoulders. She magically dried her hair, and was met with a change. Instead of her hair being wavy and wild, it fell into curls.
'The length must have been weighing it down.' Hermione said to herself.
'It's much nicer this way.' The mirror said.
Hermione smiled, as she twiddled a curl of hair around her index finger.
'Wow! Your hair looks nice!'
Lavender had walked into the bathroom.
'Err, thanks Lavender.' Hermione half smiled.
'What did you use in it?' Lavender asked.
'Nothing.' Hermione answered truthfully. 'I just cut it, then dried it.'
'Nice.' Lavender smiled. 'Well if you did want something to use in it, you could try this.'
Lavender threw Hermione a bright blue tube.
'Starlight's sleek and chic.' Hermione read aloud. 'Make your hair turn from frizz to fizz in one easy step. Thanks Lavender.'
'Anytime.' Lavender said. 'If you ever need any other hair stuff, maybe to impress a certain boy, you can borrow some of mine or order some from one of my catalogues.'
'Thanks.' Hermione said, thinking about the 'to impress a certain boy' remark. Did everybody know she liked Ron? She put the blue tube down, and whacked on a layer of mascara, before choosing what to wear. Hermione put on a denim skirt, with a matching denim jacket, and knee high boots. She then headed down for breakfast.
The Great Hall was noisier than usual, as she took her seat at Gryffindor table. Most of the noise appeared to be coming from the Ravenclaw table, and the Gryffindor one. Then she remembered, they had a Quidditch match later.
'Hi!'
Ginny jumped into the seat next to Hermione.
'Oh, hi Gin.' Hermione smiled.
'Quidditch match later!' Ginny cheered. 'And my first match as a Chaser.'
'I know, Good luck.' Hermione smiled.
'Thanks.' Ginny said, pouring some cereal.
'Hi Girls.' Two deep voices said.
Harry and Ron sat opposite Ginny and Hermione.
'Hi boys.' They chorused.
'Big game today.' Harry said cheerfully.
'First game of the season.' Rob added, pouring some orange juice.
'Nervous?' Harry asked Ginny.
'Nah, I'm ok.' Ginny half smiled. 'I have played before after all, just not as a Chaser.'
'I forget about that. Your hair looks nice Hermione.' Harry noticed. 'Its nice and.curly.'
'Yea.' Ron smiled. 'It's nice.'
'Thanks.' Hermione smiled shyly. She had no idea how they were managing to have a normal convocation. She wondered how different things would be, if the boys knew they knew.
'Oh, just remembered.' Ron said. 'After the Quidditch match, we're having a giant sleepover in the common room.'
'A sleepover?' Hermione asked. 'Isn't that a bit girly?'
'Lavenders suggestion.' Harry explained.
'I don't mind.' Ron grinned. 'Everyone will be in skimpy pajamas.'
'Ron!' Hermione said. 'That's not a very good reason to have a sleepover.'
'Is to me.' Ron grinned, cheekily.
'So, who are you boys taking to the ball?' Ginny asked to stop the argument. Bad question, Hermione thought to herself.
'No one yet.' Ron said bluntly, eating some toast.
'Same here.' Harry grumbled. 'Ron has a problem with me going with who I want to go with.'
Hermione and Ginny looked at each other.
'Oh.' Hermione said, and took a swig of her drink. 'Well I've got to go and do some homework, see you later.'
'I'm going for a walk before the match.' Harry announced. 'Coming Ginny?'
'Sure.' She smiled, and stood up. Ron gave Harry an evil stare.
'Well I think I'll come back to the common room.' Ron said. 'Need any help picking out pajamas for tonight Hermione?'
'I just might.' Hermione said. This had given her a great idea.
