Chapter 4

Harry lay in bed that night thinking about the day's events. He had snogged Ginny, been grilled by her father, made fun of by the twins, and Remus had pulled him aside to tell him that he was there if Harry ever needed to talk about certain things and then had given him a wink that had thoroughly disturbed him. Other then that, he didn't really have a reason to be just laying in bed awake, but he was.

The biggest thing in his mind right now was Ginny. He had never thought that they would be together. After he had learned she was with Dean, something inside him had broken and now that he was her pretend boyfriend he found that he was regretting the entire thing. He wanted to be her real boyfriend. He knew that when the time came for their break up that he would probably regret it forever.

Why, Ginny had suggested Christmas as the time of break up he had no idea, but he really wasn't looking forward to the entire month. Christmas would be ruined if he couldn't snog her. He blinked at the thought. Within the matter of hours he had really come to love her kiss. He only hoped that when it was all over that she, more then him, would be alright with it. He didn't want to break her heart.

Ginny, on the other hand was sound asleep going over the wonderful events of the day.

OoOoOoOoOoOoOo

Hermione was envious of what Ginny now had. She had finally gotten over her stupid thoughts and had realized that she deeply liked Ron, but that he would never like her in that way. It would take a miracle beyond all miracles to get them together. Then again she had one thought that it would take a miracle for Ginny and Harry to come together, so didn't that mean that she and Ron had a chance? She snorted at the idea and turned over on her side. She knew that it would never happen. Ron was so different and they always were fighting. She had been happy to leave Hogwarts for the summer so she didn't have to be pressed with all kinds of couples around her and now she would be stuck with a new couple and in her opinion new couples were harder to be around then older couples. She knew that soon they would be staring into each other's eyes and playing with each other's fingers and kissing each other right in front of them and everything else that Hermione had always wished and dreamed would happen to her.

Not that she wasn't happy for Ginny, not in the least. She was thrilled for her best friend, but she only wished that once, just once, she would be the one a boy would love. That she would have a boyfriend. Ginny was younger then her by a year and had more boyfriends then Hermione had had. Well, if you counted Krum as a boyfriend then she had had one. He had just used her because he thought Harry had a crush on her and he wanted him to get mad and disorinentated at the TriWizard Tournament in their fourth year. She had been used and it still slightly hurt to this day. However, she still wanted a real relationship.

She sighed and turned over the other way and then sighed again, wondering how in the world she was going to deal with this summer.

"Hermione are you going to sigh and roll over all night or are you gonna talk to me about it?" Ginny asked her, coming out of her sleep.

"Oh Ginny I'm sorry! I didn't mean to wake you!"

"No, not at all. What's bothering you?"

Hermione bit her lip, unsure of how to tell her friend delicately so she decided on the blunt approach.

"I'm jealous."

"Of what?"

"You."

"Oh, me and Harry. Why?"

"Because."

"Oh really?"

"Yeah."

"Is this about Ronald again?" Hermione got off of her bed at the top and then came and sat upon Ginny's below.

"Yes."

"You want what me and Harry have don't you?"

"Yes."

"Are you mad at me?"

"What! No! I just wish someone would like me. You can get any guy you want, but I can't!"

"Well, promise I not to let on you know."

"Promise."

"Harry is only my pretend boyfriend."

"What!"

"Shh. . . . It was to get Dean off my back."

"But, what. I'm confused."

"Okay, I guess I should start at the beginning. Dean saw me all sad in the common room about Harry so he said why don't we devise a plan. So I said okay and he said that we were dating. So we dated and he sent me mushy love notes and I told Harry it was annoying and that I had broken up with Dean six times and he wasn't getting it and then I asked if he would be my pretend boyfriend for seven months and he said yes, but the thing is it was all a part of the plan to get Harry and me together," Ginny said in a rush.

"Ginerva Weasley! I can't believe how sneaky you are! That's bloody brilliant!"

"Hermione! I have never heard you swear before!"

"Your brother's influence I'm sure."

"Probably. What us to make a plan for you?"

"Would you?"

"Of course! Best friends remember!"

"Right."

"You really love my brother don't you."

"Yeah."

"Well... Let me sleep on it and I'll tell you what I have in the morning."

"Thanks Gin you are totally awesome!"
