Mia08 – where do you think that Ron went? If things go the way that I have them planned you will be finding out in chapter 16, but I just want to see if you have the right idea.

November passed fairly quickly and things weren't much different than they had been. Things would start to get steamy with Ron and Hermione, but someone would always walk in. One night in Ron's dorm Dean walked in, and then another night they were positive that no one would be coming back into the common room as it was nearly 2 a.m. when Neville walked in saying that he had been studying with Luna. They didn't have much time to be alone with all of their homework and Ginny had not had a chance to talk to Harry about the plan yet.

"Oh Hermione, do you think that you could get Ron out of breakfast a little bit early today?" asked Ginny one Sunday morning in late November.

"Umm yea, sure, why?" asked Hermione thinking that maybe Ron had a plan of his own. 'nahh, he's not that smart' she thought.

"Well as you know, I haven't had a chance to talk to Harry about your plan yet, so I was thinking that I could talk to him after breakfast down by the lake, but you 'n Ron are always with us, so I thought that if you could get Ron to leave early he wouldn't know where we were and then we could all just meet up at lunch." she answered.

"Oh, yea, that would be fine," responded Hermione, "I can think of a way to get him out of the Great Hall," she finished with a smile on her face.

oOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo

"It's almost Christmas," said Harry, "I need to know what you want this year." He said to Ron at the breakfast table.

"Well I don't know, you don't have to get me anything," said Ron, "oh, and mum said that you are welcome to stay at the burrow for Christmas if you don't want to go to your aunt and uncles."

"Oh, thanks, that would be great." Harry said winking at Ginny.

"Yea, and you can come too if you want!" added Ginny looking at Hermione happily.

"Well thanks for the offer, but I want to spend Christmas with my mum and dad this year." She said sadly.

"But don't worry baby, I'll make your present extra special this year," she added when Ron gave her a disappointed look.

Ginny winked at Hermione and she knew that it was a clue that meant it was time for her to get Ron away from the table.

"Hey Ron," she whispered into his ear, "let's go back to my dorm and study." When she said the word study she rubbed her hand against his 'equipment' and he gave a shudder, she could feel the instant hardening beneath his pants and she got up and led him out of the Great Hall.

oOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo

"Why don't we go for a walk?" Ginny asked Harry shortly after Ron and Hermione left for the girls' dorm.

"Alright, where do you want to go?" asked Harry.

"Well I was thinking around the lake maybe?" she said with a questioning look.

"Sure, that sounds like fun." said Harry as they left the castle.

A short while later they were around the edge of the lake.

"Hey Harry, I was talking to Hermione the other day, and I was wondering if you could help us with something." Ginny asked as they got to the edge of the lake.

"Sure, anything babe, what do you need?" asked Harry curiously.

"Well you see every time that Ron and Hermione are together they, well they get interrupted." started Ginny.

"Oh, like when I walked in on them in our dorm?" asked Harry.

"Yea, and then after the dance, and then Dean walked in on them another time, and Neville another." explained Ginny.

"Wow, they have really bad luck." responded Harry.

"Yea they do, so I was thinking that we could come up with a plan to get them together."

"Alright, I could probably help with that." said Harry.

"That's what I was thinking, but Hermione doesn't want Ron to know that it was her idea, so we need to find a way to make him think like it was his idea."

"Oh, ok, well I think I've got an idea," Harry started to explain his idea to Ginny, "well, I think that I should talk to Ron and tell him that I think he should do something romantic for Hermione. I will tell him that I think that she would like it since they are always getting interrupted, and it would give him a chance to take things a bit further."

"That's good; he is thick enough to go for that. Then I was thinking that they could have their 'special night' in that room that they were in after the dance. No one ever goes in there besides us, and we can decorate it for him. Like we could put a bed in where the couch is, and candles and stuff. Then we could do a locking charm on the door once they are inside, and a silencing charm. I think that would work." added Ginny.

"Yea, that's a good idea, I will talk to Ron about it after lunch." said Harry.

"Thanks for helping me baby!" shrieked Ginny excitedly as she pulled him into a firm hug.

They made their way back to the castle to meet Ron and Hermione for lunch.

oOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo

"How did it go?" asked Hermione later that night in the girls' dorm.

"Well we came up with a plan as to what Ron is going to do, I can't tell you that though, because we want it to be somewhat of a surprise. I can't tell you when either, just that you are going to have an amazing time." Ginny told Hermione as she giggled.

"So how was your morning with Ron?" asked Ginny sleepily.

"Well it would have been great, except Lavender and Parvati walked in when things were starting to get good." said Hermione sadly.

"Aww, I'm sorry, but you won't be saying that much longer!" she squealed excitedly.

The girls talked for a while before going to bed.

oOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo

A week passed and it was now almost December. Hermione was getting a little bit worried because she hadn't been alone with Ron yet, and thought that maybe he didn't want to go through with the plan.

"I wonder why he hasn't gone through with it yet," said Ginny when Hermione told her of her concerns, "I'll talk to Harry tonight and have him bring it up."

"Thanks Gin, I owe you."

"Yea you do, and big time if this plan works," she said laughing.

oOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo

"So?" Harry asked as he entered the dorm where Ron was lying on his bed.

"So what?" asked Ron slightly confused.

"So did you go through with the plan yet?" Harry asked knowing what the answer would be.

"Oh, right, umm no I didn't." replied Ron.

"Why not mate, what happened?" Harry asked.

"Well I was going to, I mean I was thinking about it, and well, I just don't think that Hermione would go through with it." said Ron cheerlessly, "I mean, I don't think that she wants that."

Ron and Harry had a long talk and Harry told him that he understood, but personally he thought that Hermione would go through with it, but if he wasn't ready then it would just have to wait.

Ron told him that he really didn't think that Hermione was ready, and he was going to wait until he thought that she was absolutely positive that she wanted to go through with it, and that he would have to talk to her about it first.

oOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo

Harry told Ginny what Ron said, and then Ginny told Hermione.

"Well then, I will just have to take things into my own hands." Said Hermione mysteriously.
