Chapter 5

Ginny didn't really need to plan out what she would have Hermione do. It had been clear for a very long time that Ron liked Hermione and that she in kind had similiar feelings. Being the quiet one that she was once she had had all of this planned out, but she hadn't wanted to make it look like she had been plotting this for years. Which, in actuallity, that was EXACTLY what she was doing.

She woke up with a smile upon her face for the plan that was to ensue. She would most definately need Harry for it, which would mean that they would have to spend even more time with her. Alone. The thought itself was wonderful.

She got out of bed and sat down on Hermione's, just looking at the girl who was clearly daydreaming.

"Done drooling over my brother?" Ginny asked her, snapping Hermione out of her day dream.

"I wasn't drooling over Ron!"

"I wasn't talking about Ron!" Ginny teased. Hermione rolled her eyes and sat up.

"Okay, here's the plan..."

OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoO

A soft knock came at the door. Harry jumped up to answer it, hoping that it was Ginny. He opened the door to find that it was and she had a bright smile upon her face.

"Hey. I need to talk to you. Go and get dressed. I'll wait," she said softly. He nodded and closed the door slightly, allowing only a crack of light into the room. He pulled on a pair of jeans and a blue t-shirt before he headed out the door. He closed it behind him and then turned to Ginny, a bright smile upon his face. She pushed him against the door and gave him a swift, but deep kiss before grabbing his hand and dragging him down the hall.

She drug him to her room where Hermione sat upon the floor.

"Morning, Harry," Hermione greeted with a smile. He smiled, a feeling of dread in the pit of his stomach.

"Er... Morning, Hermione. What's this all about?" Ginny grinned and sat down on the floor. Harry sat down next to her closely.

"We need to ask you a favor," Hermione began. Harry's stomach fell what felt like several feet. This didn't sound good.

"What do you need?" He asked tentatively, unsure of why he asked anyway.

"Well, I love Ron."

"About time you admitted it. Better you first than him!" Harry exclaimed with a smile, a weight lifting from him.

"Yes, well... Wait, how did you know?"

"It's obvious. Anyway, go on Hermione."

"Er... Okay. Well, Ginny..." Hermione trailed off, her cheeks blushing furiously.

"Hermione wants us to help Ron realize that he loves her too," Ginny finished. Harry nodded.

"So you need my help."

"Of course," Hermione said.

"Well do you have a game plan? This is going to take a while. He's pretty stubborn."

"I was thinking that maybe Ron needs more time alone with Hermione. Stagged alone time," Ginny stated.

"That's gonna take a much bigger effort at Hogwarts you know."

"We can recruit help."

"Are you sure anyone will Gin?"

"Of course! Remember the bet!"

"Oh right!"

"Sometimes I swear you would forget your head if it wasn't screwed on just right, Harry."

"Yeah, well that's why you're dating me."

"Indeed."

"Wait, what bet?" Hermione asked, her face scrunched up in confusion. They looked at her and smiled.

"The entire Gryffindor house has a bet on when you guys will get together. Hey! I think I may win!"

"What will you do with your winnings Mr. Potter?"

"Take my beautiful girlfriend out for a night on the town of course, Ms. Weasley." Ginny blushed deeply and sent a glance over to Hermione. Hermione smiled. As 'pretend' boyfriend and girlfriend they would get closer. Ginny sure was a genius at this.

"Why not me? I'm just as beautiful as her," Ginny teased.

"Well, she's a very jealous girlfriend and besides I only have eyes for her."

"Really? Well what about hands?"

"What?"

"Are you hands attached to her as well? Or are they free to wander?"

"No, they're all hers."

"And your lips? Are those attached to her as well?"

"Oh god, okay shut up right now. I'm gonna be sick!" Hermione exclaimed, suddenly. They looked at her and blushed violently.

"Sorry, couldn't resist," Ginny said with a sly smile. Hermione rolled her eyes.

"I will do my best to help you, Hermione," Harry promised.

"Great. Now let's go down stairs to eat. I'm starving," Hermione stated, jumping up and heading out the door, leaving Harry and Ginny still sitting upon the floor.

"I know you have something more planned. Spill it."

"Nope. Not until the others are with us."

"You're going to make your boyfriend wait until September to know?" Harry asked, trying to act hurt. She smiled and kissed him lightly on his lips, sending shivers up and down his spine.

"Of course. Come on now. We can't stay alone anywhere for long. Not unless there are books around us and no beds," Ginny said with a wink. Harry chuckled and got up, helping her to her feet, but all the while not letting go of her hand.

"You are positively rotten, Ginny," Harry said as they walked slowly out of the room.

"Yeah, well that's why you're dating me."

'Of course."

They walked down together, smiling while Ron slept away unaware of the plot against him.
