Chapter 3

Ron woke up early the next morning to find his best mate, Harry sleeping on the floor on a small mattress. He blinked in surprise. When did he get here? Ron thought as he climbed out of bed.

"Harry?" Ron whispered, not wanting to really wake him up.

"Hmmm?" Harry answered as he rolled over. Ron smiled.

"When did you get here mate?" He asked joyful. Harry cracked open one of his eyelids to look over at him.

"Last night really late. Hermonie is here too," he said. Ron's heart jumped into his throat. He had never thought that she would be here so early. He glanced in the mirror and saw that his hair was sticking straight up.

"That's awesome," Ron managed as he went over to his set of dresser drawers in order to find something appropriate to wear.

"She'll like anything that you wear. You don't have to worry about that. The first thing out of her mouth was 'where is Ron?' " Harry said as he sat up and stretched.

"Really?" Harry nodded and laughed at his naïve friend.

"You two really need to get together. It would make life easier." Ron shrugged as he threw his night shirt on the bed.

In the next room, Hermonie was having the same problem.

"Gin, what should I wear today?" Hermoine asked as she looked in her trunk.

"Well it doesn't matter does it?" Ginny asked coyly. Hermonie shot her a glance.

"Yes it does. I haven't seen everyone yet and I would like to make a good impression." She answered. Ginny snorted.

"You've already made an impression. I would have to say that this is all really for my brother, Ron."

Hermonie stopped and spun around. Her eyes were wide as saucers.

"Please Ginny. You always say those kinds of things, but I have absolutely no feelings for Ronald Weasly. He is my friend and nothing more."

"Oh come off it Hermonie I know that you like him. More then you probably realize." Ginny said as she picked out some clothes from her dresser.

"Let's just drop the subject." Hermonie said as she pulled out a pair of jeans and a t-shirt from her trunk. Ginny smiled as she watched Hermonie fuss with her appearance. To Ginny it was very clear that Hermonie was in love with Ron. There was no other explanation for how the two of them acted. The wheels in her mind started turning as she thought up an idea to get the two of them finally together. It would take a lot of work, Ginny realized, but then again she could recruit Harry into this excursion and it would give her an excuse to be around Harry much more then she usually was.

Yes, in Ginny's mind there would be more then two people that would end up happy this year.
