A Meeting and Bonding
"See Ron, I told you she would be alright." Harry said as they walked toward the Great Hall for lunch.
"She's going to be there for at least a week! The only person that I know of who's been in there longer is you, and that's saying something."
"Thanks..."
"It's only the truth."
Once in the Great Hall they sat down, only to hear tales told of the Herbology class earlier that day. Neville now seriously disliked Herbology class for the first time since he came to Hogwarts, being one of the two people who had to be saved by Professor Sprout. The news about Hermione was also spreading around like wildfire, which didn't help Ron's mood at all. They were soon joined by Ginny, who sat down next to Harry.
"Hey, I heard about Hermione, is she going to be ok?
"Yeah, Madam Pomphry just said atleast a week until she's out again."
"Wow, that's along time. You and the people who got petrified those years ago are the only people I know of who have had to be in there that long!"
"That's what I said!" Ron exclaimed.
Harry suddenly felt something against his hand. When he looked down he noticed Ginny slipping a piece of paper into his hand. She grinned at him and they shared a long hug before she headed down the table to join the group of 6th year girls. While Ron was looking away Harry opened the note and read:
Meet me in the empty classroom in the 5th corridor tonight after evening classes and before dinner. Make Ron go visit Hermione alone.
Ginny
"What is that?" Ron said noticing Harry.
"Oh, it's nothing." Harry responded, quickly shoving the note into his pocket.
"You two are so weird"
When their afternoon classes ended and corridors filled with hungry students, Harry then approached Ron.
"Hey, why don't you go visit Hermione. Madam Pomphry said that she would most likely be awake by now."
"Yeah, that's a good idea, let's go."
"No, just you, I have something I have to take care of elsewhere. I'll see you at dinner in a little while."
"What do you have to do?"
"Never mind it."
"Alright..." Ron said suspiciously as he turned and walked down the corridor towards the Hospital wing while Harry headed for the 5th floor.
-5th floor corridor-
Harry arrived at the classroom, looked around to make sure nobody was watching him and went inside.
"Hey!" Ginny was already there, waiting. "So you got Ron to go, I suppose."
"Yeah, he's suspicious but I don't think he'll be able to figure it out. So, did you come up with an idea or something?"
"No. The first thing I want from you is this..." She said as she walked up to Harry when they enjoyed a long kiss in the silence of the classroom.
"Now that felt good." Ginny remarked after they parted.
"Yes it did" Harry said still holding Ginny in his arms.
"Well I guess we should discuss the plan involving Ron and Hermione."
"Yeah, getting Ron to visit Hermione was a good idea."
"Thanks, but I think it's going to take a lot more to get Ron to ask Hermione to the ball."
"Yeah, so you've thought of something then?"
"Well nothing major but I think we could try tricking them into admitting their feelings. Ron will be easier to fool, as it always is. We don't need Hermione figuring this whole thing out. I'm sure she is already suspicious enough with Ron coming alone tonight."
"Well we can just try that for a while then and see what happens. So, shall we go to dinner?" Harry said holding out his hand for Ginny.
Smiling Ginny grabbed his hand, "of course."
-Hospital Wing-
(A/N: Just a reminder that this scene is going on the same time as the one with Harry and Ginny in the empty classroom.)
When Ron walked into the Hospital wing he immediately spotted Hermione in a bed towards the back sitting up reading a book. As he walked toward her she looked up, noticing him and smiled.
"Hey! How are you feeling?" Ron asked reaching her.
"I've been better but pretty good considering what happened, though I don't really remember much. All I remember is you landing on me and then everything went black shortly after that."
"Yeah I'm real sorry! I didn't mean to do it, I didn't know you were still under there."
"I know that Ron, I don't blame you for anything, I know you wouldn't do something like that. Besides, I heard you were the one who carried me here."
"Yeah, I did."
After an odd moment of silence Hermione was the first to speak, "So where's Harry?"
"I couldn't tell you. He said he had some other things to take care of, I think it might have had something to do with Ginny."
"Well that would make sense I suppose since they are together."
"Spare me the details." Ron said, starting to giggle slightly.
They laughed and talked a little while longer before Hermione had to remind him that dinner would be starting any minute now and that he should probably get down there.
"So I'll talk to you tomorrow then." Ron said as he started to leave the room, "I'll try to bring Harry next time too, I guess."
"Well, you don't have to. I mean, we're having a good time aren't we?" Hermione said blushing, not believing what she had just said. Silently, Ron turned a left the room, feeling the best he had all day.
-Great Hall-
"About time you showed up." Harry spoke as Ron sat down across the table.
"Well, here I am."
"So how's Hermione?"
"She's good, she looks a lot better than she did after I landed on her" Ron said with a small chuckle.
"So now you can actually laugh about it eh?"
"Yeah, we cleared everything up, although there wasn't really anything to clear."
As soon as the food appeared on the table Ron was quickly distracted and Harry, looking down gave Ginny thumbs up having a slight feeling of success. After dinner Ron and Harry went to the dormitory, both happy with the result of the day, and easily drifted off to sleep.
