The girl chat had ended and Ginny and Hermione made their way back to the compartment where Harry and the boys were. Hermione and Ginny had walked in on the same topic that the girls were talking about.
Harry was about to speak when the girls walked in, "Nice topic boys" Ginny said with a rather large smirk on her face. The boys stared at her. Dean's face lighted up at the sound of Ginny's voice.
Ginny and Hermione waltzed over and sat near the window away from the boys. The girls began giggling and talking about their previous topic, the whispered so lightly Ginny and Hermione had trouble hearing each other.
"So you going to put a move on Harry, you know flutter some eyelashes and flick some hair?" Ginny whispered teasing Hermione. Hermione's eyes squinted,
"What did you say, I can't hear you?" Hermione asked whispering back. Ginny just shook her head, "Never mind" The girls stared out the window until the boys had stopped talking about Quidditch.
Ron was watching Harry closely, Harry was taking some glances at Hermione every once and a while and Ron had just about enough of it, Ron decided to take matters into his own hands. So when the usual food cart came round, with always the same lolly-lady, instead of Harry offering everyone with his money, Ron counted up his only coins that he had been saving. "Anything from the lolly-cart dears?" asked the little old lady. Harry went forward is taking out his money from his pocket but was caught off guard with Ron outstretching and putting his coins into the money jar.
"Yes please, Hermione would you like anything?" Ron asked looking at Harry as he spoke. Harry clearly never knew about Ron's attraction and feelings towards Hermione so he took it as a friendly jester. While Ginny knew what Ron was doing and she really didn't like it. She didn't want Ron getting together with Hermione, Ron was too selfish, sure Harry had all the fame and girls following him, but that wasn't because of a good thing. His parents had died, he had lost Sirius his godfather and now he was left alone without anyone but friends. He had a crazy lunatic and the most powerful wizard of all time after him Voldermort and lived with his horrible Aunty, Uncle and Cousin, who treated him like crap. Ginny always hated the way her brother would always see Harry as competition, because little did Ron know that he had the best gift of all over Harry, Family.
Hermione shook her head, so Ron was left with asking everyone if they wanted everything, he did not make any impression on Hermione. Because Hermione never cared about money, Ron paid over 6 galleons for all the food and none went to his Hermione.
The train was coming closer to Hogwarts, so Dean, Seamus had left their cart to get changed. The trio and Ginny were all in their robes ready for the new school year.
They opened their carriage door and stood out sucking in the night air. The four of them got into a carriage and in no time were at Hogwarts gate. They took their seats and watched this years first years be sorted into their houses. Gryffindor had 34 new students and most were boys. After their tummies were full and Dumbledore's introductory speech, they made their way back to the Gryffindor common rooms.
Hermione and Ginny sat on the large red couch, in an intense chat about what they were talking about on the train. When Harry and Ron walked up, Harry knelt down beside Hermione's cheek. So close to her, that she could feel his hot breath on her cheek. "So what are you girls whispering about?" Harry asked curious. Ginny smiled up at Harry as Hermione turned her head to meet Harry's blazing green eyes head on.
"Why should you care Harry?" Ginny asked. Harry smirked,
"Now Ginny we don't want you filling our Hermione's head full of girlie crap" Harry explained, "I am worried for Hermione, spending so much time with you, next she will be snogging boys in the hallways like a certain someone" Harry teased.
Ginny rolled her eyes, "okay I was going out with him you do realize" Ginny defended herself, "But not to worry Harry, Hermione is a smart girl" Ginny reassured Harry. Harry moved away and sat on the opposite couch. Ginny gave Hermione a wink. And the girls said goodnight and went to bed, to continue their talk.
Ron and Harry sat across from each other staring; "Hey Harry" Ron finally broke the silence.
"How do you make a girl that hasn't seen you in a boyfriend way see you?" Ron asked, confused at even the way he put his own question.
Harry smiled, "Is there a lucky lady Ron? Who might she be?" Ron yawned and stretched, "There might be" Ron said nodding his head.
"Who is she?" asked Harry excited, maybe if Ron told him who he liked and Harry told Ron that he liked Hermione they could help each other out.
"Hermione" Ron said. Harry stared at Ron, in shock.
"Hermione!" Harry repeated, "Why?" He asked not realizing how surprising his tone of voice was.
"Should I have to have a reason for liking her?" Ron asked narrowing his eyes at Harry. Harry shook his head, he was in trouble alright.
"MAKEOVER" Ginny yelled, "why not just blow him right away and make over yourself, have a new look" Ginny offered.
Hermione hesitated, "well if he does like me shouldn't it be because I'm myself and not someone fake?" Hermione asked. Ginny sighed, "Was so looking forward to it though" she added.
Hermione smiled, Ginny looked at Hermione uneasy, "Hermione" Ginny asked. Hermione looked up. "Yeah what's up Ginny?" Ginny looked down at the floor,
"Well you like Harry and I am pretty sure he likes you right" Ginny explained, Hermione just nodded. "Well what if someone was angry and a little upset at the two of you being together" Ginny finished. Hermione looked at her puzzled.
"Who would be upset?" She asked.
"Ron" Ginny spoke, "He's like you for sometime now, I am just warning you if he tells Harry, Harry might back off all together without wrecking his friendship, but please don't tell Ron I told you or Harry" Ginny said scared of what Hermione might say.
"Oh great, I could never see Ron that way, but don't worry I wont"
Harry lay in his bed thinking; 'Ron liked Hermione could this get any worse' he rolled over several times. 'One thing is I won't give her up without a fight' Harry said to himself before falling asleep.
