Step three: Get HP to consider me a friend

If HP will ever love me, I'll have to be his friend first. If I want to be his friend, I'll need to use whatever connection I have with him as leverage, and my connection with LL will come into play. I'll just have to weasel my way into his life. It doesn't seem like it'd be that hard.

Day one:

I asked HP how he was at breakfast; I was hoping to strike up a conversation. It didn't work, he seemed really depressed today. It wasn't just me, though, he told HG to piss off yesterday too. Apparently HP is getting a little jealous of HG and RW. It's not like he has feelings for either of them, I'm getting the feeling he just wants to have what they have with some girl. I want to be 'some girl'!

Day two:

LL asked me to join her for dinner in the RoR tomorrow. Apparently it's the anniversary of some weird creature's discovery. I'm going. HP will be there.

Day three:

I went to dinner with LL, Ginny Weasley (GW from here on out) was there! I couldn't believe it, I knew that they were sort of friends, mainly because GW has become nasty lately and doesn't have many friends. HP was there, and she was all over him! She kept calling him 'Darling' and trying to fix his hair! She is the enemy, I hate her!

Day four:

I am now at war with GW, she knows my intentions, and I (like everyone else on the planet) know hers. Today I mentioned to Cornelia Robinshire that GW may not have returned to her dorm last night, and that Dennis Creevey wasn't necessarily back either. I'll let her connect the dots, it's not true but it might as well be, we all know how GW likes her boys.

Day five:

My rumor is flying fast as Hp's ultra-hot Firebolt! Cornelia Robinshire told Sally-Anne Perks, and we know neither of them can keep a secret so I think just about everyone in the school has heard my little rumor. I can't wait to see what RW thinks when he hears it!

Day six:

Well now I know RW's reaction. Guess what happened in the Common Room? GW and RW had a shouting match!

"GINERVA MOLLY WEASLEY, DATING FIVE BOYS IN ONE YEAR, NOW THIS, DO YOU HAVE ANY CLASS!"

"I have no idea what you're talking about, and it was three, not five."

"DON'T PLAY INNOCENT, WE ALL KNOW WHAT YOU DID!" (RW was a little out of breath now)

"TELL ME, WHAT I DID!"

"YOU WERE OUT ALL NIGHT FOOLING AROUND WITH DENNIS CREEVEY! DENNIS CREEVEY! I KNOW YOU'RE A TOTAL SLUT, BUT CAN'T YOU DO BETTER THAN DENNIS CREEVEY?"

"I DIDN'T DO ANYTHING WITH DENNIS CREEVEY!"

"YES YOU DID, THE WHOLE SCHOOL'S TALKING ABOUT IT!"

"NO, I DIDN'T! DON'T MAKE ME HEX YOU!"

"YES YOU DID, AND IF YOU HEX ME, I'LL TELL MOM!"

"LITTLE BABY RONNIE-KINS IF OFF TO TELL HIS MOMMY, REAL MATURE RON!"

"AT LEAST I DON'T GO AROUND WITH A DIFFERENT BOY EVERY NIGHT!" (We were all wondering how they kept going so long!)

"YES, BECAUSE WE ALL KNOW HOW MUCH RON LOVES THE SEXY BOYS!"

"ARE YOU IMPLYING WHAT I THINK YOU'RE INPLYING?"

"YES I AM! COME ON RON, YOU'RE ALMOST 19, AND YOU'VE HAD ONLY ONE GIRLFRIEND, TWO IF YOU COUNT WHATEVER'S GOING ON WITH YOU AND HERMIONE! AND EVERYONE KNOWS THOSE WERE ONLY TO ATTRACT YOUR PRECIOUS HARRY! YOU'VE NEVER EVEN BEEN TO THIRD BASE WITH A GIRL!" (HP, who was sitting in the corner watching at this point, looked at Ron awkwardly; I bet he was seriously considering what GW had said)

"FOR YOUR INFORMATION I WENT TO THIRD BASE WITH HERMIONE JUST LAST WEEK! AND YOU'RE THE ONE WHO'S SO IN LOVE WITH HARRY, AT LEAST I DIDN'T GIVE HIM LOVE POTION!" (Everyone gasped at this, sure we all knew GW had used love potion to get HP (her brothers owned the store you buy it at!) but we didn't think RW knew, or at least we didn't think he'd tell everyone)

But we didn't have much time to react, because a hex came at RW, not from GW, like we expected, but HG. I don't think she liked him telling people she was willing to go to third base (still not 100 sure what that means) with a guy. But my rumor accomplished its goal; HP will never want to get back with GW ever again. I got side stepped with dealing with GW; I'll go back to Step Three tomorrow.

Next time: Step three continued, and something totally unexpected.
