Chapter 5

A/N: I can not thank u guys enough for the reviews! And I am sorry for the lack of any kind of updates but I have been really busy and I am working on a new fic that won't collide with this one when I write it. Thanks again!

Disclaimer: If I owned Harry Potter I would have more than $2.50 in my pocket.

The next few weeks flew by without a second thought. The only talk that surrounded the school was that of the upcoming "field trip".

Qudditch practices were going excellent and the only drawback was that of Ron's self confidence. Hermione, however, seemed very distressed at this news.

"That is valuable time that could be put to other uses" she retorted a few days before their departure.

"I mean with our exams coming up, is it really worth it?"

"Hermione just because you are so narrow minded to enjoy the simple festivities of life outside a book does not mean that we all are" Ron snapped. He had been very touchy for the past few days, ever since discovering that he would be playing.

Hermione looked as though she had been slapped in the face. She opened her mouth to speak but instead, watched Ron ruffle his hair and trudge up the stairs, muttering something about getting some serious zeds if he were to squash Slytherin.

Hermione sighed and sat down Hogwarts, A History.

"Any guy can sweep a girl off her feet Harry. He just needs the right broom"

Harry snorted. "How is that supposed to help me?"

"Well, it's quite obvious isn't it?" she replied, now running her finger tips through the pages of the book.

"You have a chance with Ginny. You just need to find it and no love potion or book can do that for you. I'm here to help you Harry, not do it for you"

"How am I supposed to ask her out if she's dating all these other boys?"

"Isn't it clear that Ginny is only dating them to make you jealous? Think about it Harry" rang Hermione's voice, with a hint of irritation.

Harry now, was becoming irritated himself. "We are leaving in-"

"Three days. So does that not mean that you should have already figured out what you were going to say to her? You are always leaving things until last minute"

"How," said Harry through clenched teeth. "Am I supposed to figure out what she is thinking?"

Hermione heaved a deep sigh. "Patience" she muttered.

"Alright," she said calmly, a few minutes later. "You are right. You have no possible way to tell what she is thinking at the precise moment, mainly because you neglected Occlumency. But-"

"But what? You just said-"

"Harry," Hermione snapped. "Let me tell you something. Last year, when you were going with Cho, Ginny was really jealous, or at least she seemed to be. She never actually told me"

Harry felt his stomach do a back flip. So Ginny had been jealous?

"Do you understand, Harry?' Hermione said, as though she had been trying to get his attention for several minutes.

"Er……no, not…not really" Harry said bluntly.

Hermione held her head in her hands. "You are just as dense as Ronald" she cried.

Harry grinned. "I don't understand. But I do have an idea"

A/N: Like I said. I am so sorry for lack of updates. I will admit that this chapter is a little tedious but the next for chapters will be very good and action packed and maybe a little longer too!

If you guys have any ideas I will still be open to them! Please R&R….
