Chapter Four: Mending of A Relationship Part Two
That night Hermione told Ron her plan to get Harry and Ginny back together, as well as about the conversation earlier. Knowing that Ron might defend Harry's decision, Hermione got straight to the point. "Have you noticed that lately both Harry and Ginny have been miserable?" Hermione asked in a hushed voice because Harry and Ginny had only just gone to bed for the night.
Slightly taken aback by the question Ron gapped for a moment before saying, "Yeah, but what are we suppose to do about it?" It was then that Ron noticed a sly look on Hermione's face in the firelight. Realization dawned on him as he exclaimed, "You're pulling my leg aren't you!"
"Shush! Or you'll wake them up!" Hermione said in an urgent whisper while gesturing with her hands to calm Ron down. Once he was calm she continued. "Now, you won't have to do anything major, but you'll have to give Harry a shove towards getting back together with your sister." at that Hermione proceeded to tell Ron her plan.
The following morning Harry woke to find that Hermione and Ginny weren't in the tent, but Ron was. Looking down at his watch Harry saw that it was about nine thirty in the morning. Sighing he got up and pulled a t-shirt on, he had slept in his jeans. As he pulled on his shoes he looked over at Ron and asked where Ginny and Hermione were.
"Hermione said something about wanting to talk to Ginny about 'girl' stuff." Ron said shrugging. While keeping eye contact with Harry he decided to put Hermione's plan into motion. Taking a deep breath he asked, "So, are you over my sister?"
Harry's head shot up, he had been looking down at his shoes, and he stared at Ron in shock. Sighing he said, "Ron, both of us agreed that this is for the best right now."
'So he is going to be difficult...' Ron thought as he tried to keep a straight face. "But then why did I see you sneaking glances at her last night?"
Harry glared at Ron as he stood up and said in a threatening voice, "Drop it, Ron!"
"Why?"
"Because it wouldn't work between Ginny and me right now-"
Though Ron cut Harry short. "What do you mean, it wouldn't work between you two? Harry, she could have easily stayed behind and not have as much to do with this war, but she didn't. Because it doesn't matter if she's your girlfriend or not, she would still be in harms way. She agrees with Hermione and me that it doesn't matter if we are close to you, as friends, or not."
"This is exactly why I wanted you to stay behind!" Harry snapped as he felt his temper begin to reach its limits.
"But we would have followed you."
"That's the only reason I agreed to let you guys come."
"No it wasn't. You agreed because you knew we were right to follow you." Ron paused before taking a leap of faith. "Now, why not make amends with Ginny? You know you want to."
Harry glared at Ron before he gave in and said that he would when Hermione and Ginny got back.
Ginny walked with Hermione where they had collected firewood the night before, but right now Hermione had an odd look on her face, like she knew something. But Ginny felt the same as she had before, that Harry shouldn't of broken up with her.
'It's now or never.' Hermione thought as she started conversation with Ginny. "So, I've noticed that you have been eying Harry a lot since he broke up with you."
Ginny said nothing, but nodded.
"Well, you want to make amends with him, and get back together right?"
Again Ginny only nodded.
The conversation continued along those lines for about another hour before they returned to the area they were camping at to find Harry standing right outside of the tent. Hermione gave Ginny a little shove towards Harry as she went into the tent where Ron was.
"So, how did you do with Ginny?" Ron asked as Hermione came into the tent.
"She didn't really say more than two words at the most the whole time. But seemed distant. What about Harry?" Hermione asked, wanting to know if all had gone well with Ron's part of the plan.
"He argued with me about it for a while. But finally convinced him to at least mend the relationship with Ginny."
"Good, now the rest is up to them." Hermione said as she and Ron stood as close to the entrance to the tend and opened it slightly so they could hear what was being said between Harry and Ginny.
Harry shuffled his feet nervously while Ginny seemed to be only interested in her shoes. A few moments of silence seemed to be an eternity for the two. When they did start to talk they found out instantly that they had been set up. But neither of them seemed to mind it very much. For about half an hour Harry and Ginny visited like nothing had ever happened. Then when they had come to an agreement that Ron and Hermione had been right about their relationship, Harry embraced Ginny like he had after a Quidditch match in their previous year at Hogwarts.
"I'm sorry, Ginny." Harry muttered in Ginny's ear as he held her.
"It's alright, Harry." Ginny whispered back as Harry leaned in and kissed her, a kiss Ginny quickly returned.
A/N: I know I haven't put this in any other chapters, but thanks to all those who have reviewed! I know this more than likely wasn't something that lived up to expectations, but I needed to get Harry and Ginny back together. Also, Ron and Hermione are now boyfriend and girlfriend, just forgot to mention it earlier. Sorry about the page breaker, but I can't use the one I usually use. The one in this chapter will be the one I use from now on in this story.
