Chapter 6:
A/N: This is now purely being written for mine and my sister's amusement. It's keeping my brain working, and my sister seems to like it and is asking for me to continue writing, so that's why I'm continuing my horrid story that no one reads besides my little sister. But that's ok, I get enjoyment out of it. Well if your reading this, besides my sister, do a quick review and tell me what you think. And please if you like it keep coming back, I post every couple of days. Xo -Hannah

"Hermione, can I ask you something?"
"Yeah, what?" she answered after taking a sip of her drink.
"Well, I've been wondering for a while, and I'm really confused, keep changing my mind and stuff, anyway, what are your feelings towards Harry?"
Ginny and Michelle's total attention was on Hermione's face, waiting for her answer to this question they have both been wondering about for some time.
-------------------------
"Well, umm, sometimes I don't know." Hermione started. "I've been really close friends with Harry since 1st year, but I guess some other feelings are starting to emerge lately."
"Y'all would be such a cute couple, don't you think so Michelle?" Ginny said with wide eyes.
"Oh I definitely agree." she answered excitedly.
"Well, I'll talk to Harry about it, or something. Maybe we can see what Ron thinks." said Hermione.
"I'll ask Ron and see if he knows anything." Michelle said glancing down the table at Ron and Harry, who were cracking up laughing with Seamus and the others.
"Oh my gosh, I talked to Lea today during first class, we both had a free period then, anyway she told me that she is getting kind of close with Draco Malfoy." Michelle said brushing the fringe out of her eyes.
"Malfoy, that's crazy what does she see in him?" Hermione said shocked.
"She told me that he's a great guy and she doesn't see why none of you like him."
"What? We don't like him because he's not a great guy. Are we sure she is talking about the same Draco here?" said Ginny.
"I'm pretty sure it's the only Draco, but I don't know. I told her that if it works for her then that's great. If he's good to her then there is no reason for us to not approve." Michelle said to the girls.
"Yeah, I agree." Hermione said, Ginny nodded her head in agreement.
"What was that all about?" Michelle asked Ron as him and Harry walked up and sat back down.
"Nothing" Ron answered picking up his fork and continuing his lunch.
"Oh really." Michelle said sarcastically.
"Yep, what were y'all talking about?" he asked the girls.
"Nothing" Ginny said rather quickly, looking meanly at her older brother.
"Ok, fine I didn't care anyway." said Ron, looking at Harry and rolling his eyes.
-------------------------
"Glad that's over with, you think Snape will ever lighten up?" Ron said walking through the winding dungeon hallways with Hermione and Harry.
"No, I don't think he will ever lighten up, double potions is going to be a nightmare this term." Harry answered heavily.
"I agree Snape is horrid, but you two are doing everything to keep him in a bad mood. Why don't you just do what he says and not let him get to you, it'd really help the rest of us out." sighed Hermione.
"What?" Ron replied, "Do you think we try to make him mad, try to keep him on our bad side? You must be mad to think that."
"Well I don't know what y'all are doing but it definitely isn't helping the Gryffindors out, just please don't give him any lip and try not to give him any reason to deduct points from us."
"Hermione, what the bloody hell--" Ron started before he was cut off by Harry.
"Ron, please, just drop it ok guys." Harry said stepping in between his two squabbling friends. "Besides, class is over and we don't have to go back until next Monday, so lets just move on and enjoy some Snape free days."
"Ok" Ron said glumly.
"Your right Harry, lets just not think about potions until next Monday, well except for when we do our homework of course." Hermione answered.
Ron opened his mouth, but was abruptly cut off again by Harry who said in an undertone.
"Ron, don't start."
-------------------------
They arrived in the Gryffindor common room to find it filled with Gryffindor students. Some were studying, few I might add, others were chatting with friends or playing games. Ron spotted Michelle right off the bat, its had to miss the girl in the baby blue robes along side everyone else wearing black. She was standing over near the fire talking and laughing with Ginny. Ron walked over, grabbed her hand and pulled her into a passionate kiss. They broke apart and Michelle was whisked into Ron's lap in one of the squishy armchairs.
"So, how'd potions go?" she asked smiling.
"The usual, not very good." he answered.
"Oh, well I'm sorry. What did Lea do, did she talk to you guys or anything?"
"She didn't say a word to me or Harry," Ron replied, picking up Michelle's hand and intertwining it with his. "She talked with Hermione before class some, and spent the whole class over with the Slytherins."
"Oh, hey I need to talk to you about something." Michelle said in almost a whisper.
"Ok, yah what is it."
Michelle looked around the room, stood up, and grabbed Ron's hands to pull him up as well. "Lets go to my room." She led the way into her room and they sat together on her bed.
"So" Ron started. "What do you have to talk to me about?"
"Ok, its about Harry." she began, "Hermione kind of has a crush on him and I was wondering if you know anything about what Harry feels for her. You know, beyond friendship."
"I'm almost positive he likes her more than a friend." Ron said matter-of-factly.
"Are you serious, that's great. How do you know?" she said excitedly.
"He talked some about her during summer, but I know Harry, and I see the way he looks at Hermione."
"Well, now its time to play matchmaker. I need you to get Harry to ask Hermione out. He must want to so it won't be too hard, and she will definitely say yes so assure him that."
"Ok, I will." Ron said putting his arms around Michelle and pulling her closer to him on the bed, and leaned in for a kiss. They were interrupted by a knock on the door, and abruptly pulled apart.
"Come in" Michelle said watching the door knob turn and the door being opened to reveal Hermione standing in the doorway.
"Oh I'm sorry guys, did I interrupt something?" Hermione said blushing.
"Actually you did so," Ron started before being cut off by Michelle.
"No, its fine really. Come in, take a seat." she said motioning to the empty place next to her on the bed. Ron sighed and was shushed by Michelle, who was smiling bright eyed at Hermione.
"Have you talked to him yet?" Hermione asked Michelle.
"Yes, and he says he's almost positive that the feelings are mutual and he will talk to Harry about it." Michelle answered.
"Oh thanks Ron, I'd talk to him myself but I don't know its just too complicated." Hermione said relieved.
"Your welcome, now are we done here."
"Well I get the feeling I'm not wanted, so I'll leave you two alone." Hermione said getting up.
"No your wanted" Michelle started.
"It's ok, I know. I'll let you get back to what you were doing, bye." Hermione smiled and closed the door behind her.
"So" Ron said grabbing Michelle and pulling her on top of him. "Where were we?" he said placing a kiss on her smiling lips.

A/N: This chapter took longer than usual to be posted because I have been busy lately. Lots of school work and I've been watching the Dawson's Creek season DVDs so that has been pretty time consuming. Anyway, thanks for reading and I got one new reviewer so that's always good. If your reading this please post a quick review, tell me what you think and such. It would be really appreciated. Sorry this chapter is so short. I'll be putting the next chapter up pretty soon.
