Once Upon A Wizard's Dream The characters all belong to J.K. Rowling and the plot is based on William Shakespeare's A Midsummer's Night Dream

This is going to be short I think. I promised to get this up before I go to camp, but I go to camp the day after tomorrow (Saturday) and don't have much time for this b/c I have to work :( But I do promise to make Chapter 4 really, really long to make up for this.

Chapter Three

Hermione stepped out of the Girl's Dorm, tying her pink fuzzy robe. The sound of someone yelling had awoken her in the middle of a perfectly good dream and she was still sort of fuzzy with sleep. But then she heard something that woke her up. Ron's voice saying "Ginny divine. Divine Ginny." Her eyes opened. What was going on here?

"I have never noticed your eyes, but now I can find nothing as beautiful as them. Crystal and diamonds are mere mud when compared to you, my dear sweet sister. Your lips are like cherries, oh so red, so tender, so tempting. "Ron continued to move towards his sister.

Ginny moved back. "What the hell is going on here Ron? Stop being so gross." She backed up against the mantle above the fire place and looked at Ron, puzzled. "Did you have to wake the whole tower just for you and Harry to play a prank on me. Well joke's up, I'm going back to bed."

Harry had finally gotten off the ground and he came up to stand on Ron's left. "Ron do not treat Ginny so. But I would never behave in such a way towards one so fair." He fell down on his knees. "Ginny, the soul of my heart, I swear never to love Hermione again, but only to love you until I die." He held out his hands for her.

Ginny sneered in disgust. "Harry, come on, stop being a git and get up. You two both love Hermione, so stop doing this to me."

Hermione stayed in the shadows. She continued to listen to what was happening in the Common Room as the other Gryffindors drifted back into their rooms when they saw nothing was happening. She smiled to herself. Ginny was right, Harry and Ron were just joking around. Weren't they?

Ron shook his head at his sister's words. "Harry can have Hermione, I only live for you. I care not what the world thinks, come home with me Ginny and live with me for the rest of our days.

Harry moved forward on his knees. "Ginny, Ron's lying. I love you and you only. Loving, if you could call it that, Hermione was a mistake. But my eyes are open now and I realize that I love you and always will. Look, see here comes Hermione, Ron you may go to her while I stay here with my sweet Ginny." Hermione was getting worried. She had heard enough and had decided to come down and see what was really going on down in the Common Room. "What's going on here? Who the hell was shouting?" She brushed her hair back and looked at the three. Ron didn't even look at her, Harry was scowling and Ginny was blushing, looking down at her toes.

"Nothing is going on Hermione." Ron spit out her name like it was the dirtiest thing on Earth. "Nothing at all. Now go away." A hardness came into his voice, something which Hermione had never heard.

"Ron, what's going on? Why are you talking like that? Why is Harry kneeling before Ginny?" Hermione took a couple of steps forward and stopped, laying her hand on the back of a wing chair. "Please tell me. Is this a joke?" She looked at Ginny, entreating her to tell her what was happening.

"Your lover and his best friend were proclaiming their love of me!" Ginny finally looked up. "I don't care if this is a joke, but come on, does three in the morning seem like a good time to you. I want to go to bed, but every time I open my mouth, one of these prats says something romantic and stupid. Hermione, get them to stop, your the love of both of their hearts."

Harry shook his head. "Why should I love a whore like Hermione when I can love Ginny. Ginny who graces the night sky, Ginny who glows with fire, Ginny who I love." He waved his arms around and became more excited with each word.

"Why have you come here bitch? Can you not see your not wanted here?" Ron's vocie came as a low growl, he turned to face Hermione. "Get out now!" He shouted and pointed to the stairs.

Tears came to Hermione's eyes. "Ginny I have no idea what's going on here -- "

"Oh really?" Ginny interrupted hotly. She took a step towards Hermione and then a step back as Harry leaned towards her, his arms open, a dreamy look on his face. "What are you part of this sick joke too? This has gone on far too long. Stop it now!" Ginny covered her face with her hands and began to cry.

Harry leaped to his feet and ran to comfort her, but Ron shoved him out of the way and the two young men started to wrestle in the middle of the Common Room.

"Stop it! Stop it! Please stop it!" Ginny rushed forward to pull apart Harry and Ron, but one of them flung her back and began to hit the other one harder. She turned and shot Hermione a look of pure hate and dashed past her and up the stairs.

Hermione watched her go helplessly. What was she going to do?
