A/N-I worked super hard on this so please R&R my stuff! And my disclaimer is on my profile because I completely forgot it! Anyways, on to the chapter!

Chapter Two

Harry's POV

It had been a whole five days before 'project sabotage' was able to take place. Hermione had recovered from her fruity personality, and was back to nagging relentlessly to everyone around her.

"Ginny,"Harry said Friday night, as it was just Ginny and him in the common room."Are you sure this is going to work?"

"Yes, Harry,"Ginny said."You have to learn to trust me more."

"Of you say so,"Harry said with doubt."What's phase two?"

"It's your turn to come up with something,"Ginny said, yawning."I'm going to bed."

Harry watched her leave and had a long stare. He averted his eyes. My best friend's sister, he was saying repetitively in his head. "Good night!"he called to her, as he entered his own dormitory.

Hermione's POV

Hermione woke up to a loud alarm. She groaned inwardly and outwardly. It was five o'clock, on Saturday.

What wicked person set my alarm? she wondered angrily. She blurrily spotted a note addressed to her. She rubbed the sleep from her eyes, and opened it.

Hermione,

This is Ginny! Will you meet me at the quidditch pitch at five thirty? Sorry to wake you but I have a surprise for you!

Love, Ginny

Hermione moaned, and rolled over, falling out of her bed. She groaned again, swearing barbarically in her mind.

She dressed in jeans and a short sleeve t-shirt, put she grabbed a light jacket in case it was still cold out. She combed her hair in attempt to make it look somewhat manageable. No luck, she thought sadly. She checked the table clock. 5:23.

She sighed, and headed down the steps to the common room, and eventually outside to the grounds.

"Hey Mione,"Ginny said happily, flying around in circle.."Ready to get up here?"

"No way,"Hermione said crossly."I don't fly-and you know that!"

Ginny pouted woefully. "Ron's broom is down there beside you,"she said."Please Hermione?"

"No,"she said, crossing her arms on her chest."Never."

Harry's POV

Harry stood beside the window, watching Hermione and Ginny down at the quidditch pitch.

He held out his wand, and opened the window. The breeze hit his face, making the stubble he did have stick up straight. He saw Ginny circle around the tree tops. This was the sign.

"Beflikdo!"he said, hoping that the spell could reach Ginny's broom.

He watched her intensely, to make sure everything was going to plan. He reached over for the alarm clock that Ron never used.

He set it for 5:32 a.m, and he stared repetitively at Ginny and then to Ron. He was prepared.

Hermione's POV

"Ginny!"Hermione shouted."Ginny!"

Ginny was swerving like crazy, hanging on for dear life."Hermione!"she shouted."Help!"

"I'll get someone else!"Hermione shouted back."I-I can't-"

"Everyone else is asleep!"Ginny cried."Please, Hermione. I'm-I'm going to-"

Ginny screamed , and flew her broom into the tree tops, making it seem like the broom was forcing her sideway."Ginny!"

Hermione bit her lip, and grabbed Ron's broomstick. She closed her eyes, and took off.

Ginny sat in the tree tops, and took off the spell off her broom that Harry had just used. She gave him a thumbs up from his window, and he vanished into the back of the dorm. Collin Creevey fell from the shadows of the castle, his camera ready. Dennis was beside him for moral support, but everyone knew that Dennis just couldn't handle being alone.. She watched Collin snap several pictures of Hermione flying before he sneakily headed back into the castle.

Harry's POV

"Ron, look!"Harry shouted."Come to the window!"

Ron grudgingly followed, muttering something about being off his rocker."Who st my alarm anyways?"

Harry winked at Neville, Seamus, and Dean, who were just pretending to be asleep."No idea."

As Ron got up to the window, he gasped, and rubbed his eyes several times before speaking."Whoa,"he said."Who's the new girl flying?"

Neville, Seamus, and Dean silently crawled from their beds, and closed their hangings. They mellowly opened Ron's trunk. They grabbed all of his school books that he had homework in(which were all of them), and exited without Ron noticing. They headed to the common room, where Lavender, Luna, and Parvati where waiting impatiently...

"Harry,"Ron said, back in the dormitories."That can't be Hermione-she scared to death of flying."

"Ginny said that she wanted to get better to fly with you,"Harry said daintily."But don't say anything to her about it-she didn't want anybody to know."

Ron gave him an odd glare."Are you serious?"he asked."Why would Hermione want to fly with me?"

Harry shrugged."I'll guess you'll have to take her to find out."

Ron considered it."First, I'm going back to bed..."

Harry had hoped for this."Sure thing."

Hermione's POV

"Hermione, you're great!"Ginny cried, finally flying from her hiding spot.

" Thanks Ginny,"she said, breathless."I quite like flying now."

"You do, huh?"she asked sweetly."Well, I heard from Harry that Ron might want to go flying with you today."

Hermione gave her a puzzled look."Why?"

"I dunno,"Ginny said."But he was really excited. Don't mention it to him though, he's rather embarrassed about it."

Hermione shrugged."Okay,"she said lightly."I never thought Ron would want to fly with me."

"Maybe he does,"Ginny said sugary. She glanced down. It was about to be six thirty, and she didn't want anyone to see her up in the air with Hermione. It would ruin Ron thinking Hermione was flying fly solitaril, which would ruin part one."We should probably land now."

Hermione agreed, and landed shakily a moment later."I need to work on that."

Ginny nodded, smiling broadly."Why don't we go get breakfast?"

"I'm to tired to eat,"Hermione said, yawning."I need another hour or two of sleep."

Ginny tugged demandingly on her elbow."No-you shouldn't do that,"she said.

Hermione gave her a chiseled glance."Why?"

"Be-because it's not...a ... normal ... sleeping pattern,"she said."You won't wake up for hours, and then you'll stay up late... it's not heathy."

"Ginny,"Hermione said slowly."Maybe you should get some sleep too. You're not making any sense."

"Hermione-no-"

"Ginny, I'm tired,"Hermione said sternly."I'm going to bed."

"Oh no,"she muttered, following Hermione to the broomstick shed and up to the castle.

Ron's POV

Ron Weasley looked up to the bright sun. It was so warm and welcoming. The lake was beautiful this time of year, but what was even more beautiful was the sight beside him.

"Hermione,"he whispered, giving her a long passionate kiss.

Something in his head screamed loudly. No, not her. She's your friend.

He opened his eyes to his dorm room."Hermione?"he whispered quizzically.

Harry's POV

"History of Magic is done,"Dean announced."All we have left is transfiguration."

"That was Parvati's subject,"Luna said.

"Oh, hush,"Parvati snapped."I know that, but I hate transfiguration. I didn't do it."

Harry sighed."Parvati-"

"What?"she asked."I only match make! I don't do homework!"

"But that was the plan,"Seamus told her.

"Lavender, are you going to let him talk to me like that?"

"Everyone quiet!"Harry shouted."Someone's coming-"

Hermione's POV

"Ginny, I am going in,"Hermione demanded."Move away from the portrait hole."

"Never!"Ginny shouted, her arms thrown around the sides."You must come to breakfast with me!"

Harry's POV

"Oh no!"Harry shouted."It's Hermione and Ginny!"

"I don't hear anything,"Dean said, as other agreed.

" Me and Hermione have been friends for six years, and with the voice she's using Ginny won't last much longer!"Harry cried. He looked for the closest escape route." Run!Go into that closet!"

He had never noticed it before, but there it lay to the right of them. Lavender went in first, followed by Seamus.

"Old memories,"Seamus said dreamlessly."Can you guys get your own?"

"Gross!"Luna panted, before getting in. Dean and Parvati went next, then Harry.

"Neville!"Harry mouthed."Grab the books!"

"What?"Neville asked loudly, defeating the whole purpose off Harry's whisper."I-I can't hear you!"

Harry sighed."The-books-Ron's books-"

Hermione's POV

"Why must I come to breakfast with you?"Hermione demanded."And why are you acting so funny?"

"Funny?"Ginny said emotionally."Who's funny here? I'm not! Are you! Not Hermione Granger, very anti funny if you ask me-ow!"

Hermione had shoved her hard off the portrait hole."Pixie dust."

Hermione gave Ginny a smile of triumphant before walking in, Ginny following.

Harry's POV

Harry saw the door open, so he did the only thing he could. He shut the door, and left Neville alone in the common room.

Neville nervously gathered all of the books."Morning Hermione!"

"Neville?"Hermione asked suspiciously."What are you doing up?"

"Just doing homework!"Neville said, his voice high pitched.

"This early?"Hermione asked, giving him a quizzical look.

"You know me,"Neville said falsely.

"That's why I don't buy it,"Hermione said, crossing her arms on her chest."What are you working on-"

Ginny grabbed all of Ron's books from Neville's back before Hermione could get it."I confess!"Ginny said."I needed help in Sprout's class-so I asked Neville to do my homework."

"Brilliant,"Harry muttered to the others.

"Ginny,"Hermione scolded."You know I don't approve of that."

"I know,"Ginny said, bowing her head in shame."I'm sorry. C' mon Neville, let's go to the library so you can explain chapter twenty to me."

"Sure thing,"Neville said, smiling.

"Glad to hear,"Hermione said, yawning. She took her first step of the staircase, but stared at them peculiarly for a moment."You know you can never get anything past me, Ginny."

"You're right,"Ginny said."Nothing to complicated for you."

The six in the closet began snickering loudly as Hermione went to bed.

Everyone sighed when they heard the door upstairs click."Finally,"Harry muttered, opening the door as they unpiled.

Ginny sighed."That was too close,"she said.

"We need a more organized plan next time,"Dean said agreed.

Ginny looked at Harry."What is your plan?"

At that instant, Collin and Dennis entered the common room."How' d everything go?"they asked.

"A narrow escape," answered Seamus."We almost got caught-"

Ron's POV

Ron couldn't go back to sleep now. That was his first dream about Hermione, and it scared him. He knew he had a crush, but it was just a crush...right?

He heard voices from the common room, and decided to investigate. He walked down the stairs, rubbing the sleep from his eyes.

Hermione's POV

Hermione changed back into her night gown, and then turned around. She didn't hear Lavender's loud snoring, or Luna talking in her sleep. She pulled back the hangings. No Lavender. Confused, she checked every bed. Luna, Parvati, Lavender, and Ginny were all gone.

Putting her hands on her hips, she thought she heard voices from the common room. She opened her door, and went down the steps.

Harry's POV

Harry heard creaking from both staircases at the exact same time."Run!"

All eight teens ran out of the common room, and into the castle corridor.

Ron and Hermione glared around mistrustfully before reluctantly going back upstairs to their slumber.

"You kids,"The Fat Lady said."Are wearing your robes around the castle in fashion now?"

Lavender, Parvati, Dean, Harry, Seamus, Neville, and Luna all stared down in horror. Ginny, Collin, and Dennis began laughing wildly; they were dressed appropriately.

"We can't walk around like this!"Lavender cried.

"But we also can't go back in there,"Dean pointed out to her.

"We can go to my dark room,"Collin said."I've started doing pictures for the teachers now, and they gave me my own private dark room."

"That's perfect, Collin!"Parvati shouted happily."Where is it?"

Collin lead them all down the corridor, and to a large portrait of a beautiful woman with long black hair.

"Hey Collin,"she said seductively."So glad you're back."

The other nine began to titter..

"Hey Baby,"Collin said cooly.

"Password?"she said smoothly.

"Pumpkin Pastries,"he said, as the portrait opened.

The ten silently climbed in. Collin's dark room was a mere closet with photos on the walls, and dark lighting. Harry blushed. Half the pictures were of him.

"Great closet,"Lavender said."Dark-but with some light. Can we use it?"

"No,"Ginny said firmly."This should be our meeting place."

"I'm okay with that,"Collin said.

"No one say anything to anyone about it, agreed?"

Nine heads nodded.

"My plan easy, I'm copying everyone's homework so Hermione thinks Ron did it, and I'm going to charm his book covers so when he reads it Hermione thinks it's a very advanced book. Oh, and I thought we could help him with his Transfiguration test coming up."

"How?"Luna asked."McGonagall is a hawk at tests."

"Neville plays a big role,"Harry said, grinning at Neville.

" You do that Harry,"Ginny said."I think we should each get to plan one."

"Yeah,"everyone agreed.

"Collin-do you have parchment?"Ginny asked.

"Sure!"

"Okay,"Ginny said, dipping her quill into the ink just a minute later."I think we should go in pattern. So after Harry goes, the plan is Ron's..."

After about ten minutes, they had it all scheduled out. Ginny checked over it again, checking for mistakes.

Ginny-Hermione

Harry-Ron

Luna-Hermione

Neville-Ron

Lavender-Hermione

Seamus-Ron

Parvati-Hermione

Dean-Ron

Dennis-Hermione

Collin-Ron

"Everyone understand?"Harry asked, as everyone nodded.

"We need to get back to the common room,"Ginny said."We still have part two of my plan."

"Part two?"Luna asked."It's not as fatiguing as part one is it?"

"No,"Ginny said, laughing."Actually, it's a lot easier.."

Ginny sighed, flipping through Witch Weekly repetitiously. It was four in the afternoon, and all twelve of theGryffindor friends were still waiting patiently for Ron and Hermione to go flying.

"Sure is a nice day,"Parvati sighed."Good day to go flying."

"Well go,"Hermione said, turning around in her chair."I've just finished all of my homework."

Ron and Harry were playing wizard's chess. Hermione looked at Ron before speaking."Are you done with your work, Ron?"

"Yeah, I am,"Ron said, looking up."The thing is-I don't ever remember doing it."

"You did,"Harry assured him."You were up all night...right guys?"

"Oh, yeah,"Dean said.

"All night-"

"Sure."

Hermione looked at Dean, Seamus, Parvati, Luna, Neville, Lavender, Collin, and Dennis.

"What are you guys doing anyways?"she asked."You never just stay in the common room."

"They're bored,"Ginny said truthfully."I am too."

"Well Harry,"Ron said triumphantly."I would play again, but I don't have competion."

"Oh, goo-I mean,"Harry said, quickly correcting himself."I think someone wants to fly."

Hermione, who was already absorbed into another book, didn't hear this.

"Then just Harry-"

Harry sighed."No, not me,"he said in an undertone."Hermione."

Ron glared at him for a moment until he remember.

"Oh! Hey Hermione,"Ron said."Would you like to fly with me?"

Hermione's head snapped up."Oh, sure!"

She put down her book immediately, and followed Ron out of the portrait hole.

Straightaway, everyone jumped up from their seats, and into the boys dorm room.

"What are doing in here?"Luna asked, as she shut the door.

"Collin and Dennis, you know where to go,"Ginny said, ignoring Luna"Remember, you can't be seen."

The two nodded, and departured the room. Ginny opened the window, just as Harry had done earlier that day."I put a HearOhMatic on Ron's broom,"Ginny explained."So we can hear everything they're saying."

Everyone looked at each other excitingly. Partita, Seamus, Dean, Luna, and Neville all sat on Harry's bed, looking out the window for a glance of the pair. Ginny and Harry sat on their knees.

"I still don't get how we're suppose to hear them,"Lavender said.

"A new invention of Fred and George's,"Ginny said, holding a teeny blue ball up." I got it free because I'm the tester .I put the other one of these at the bottom of Ron's broom this morning before Hermione came down,"Ginny explained."So, whenever Ron and Hermione get there-"

"Hey Ron!"Hermione said."Do you think I should use Ginny's broom?"

"Do it,"Ginny whispered."C' mon..."

"I guess,"Ron said dubiously.

They watched out the window as Ron took off flawlessly. Hermione followed on Ginny's broom. Ginny grinned broadly."Ready?"

Harry nodded."Beflikdo!"

Ron's POV

Hermione swerved, and knock into Ron, screaming.

Ron grabbed Hermione by the waist, and lifted her onto his broom, as Ginny's broom fell silently to the ground."Whoa!"Hermione cried."Ron-thanks!"

"No problem,"Ron said."Just keep staring-I mean steering."

They continued to go around the pitch, circling the posts.

"I think something is really wrong with Ginny's broom,"Hermione said."It happened this morning when Gi-I was flying it."

"You fly really well,"Ron complimented her."I can't believe you didn't try out for the quidditich

team."

Hermione blushed, though Ron couldn't see."I only fly when nobody's watching."

"But you let me fly with you,"Ron said in her ear.

"You're my best friend,"she said."I mean-so is Harry, of course. I-I don't know why, but I only feel comfortable flying with you."

"Hermione-"

But Hermione never got to find out what Ron said, because he stopped as it began to sprinkle.

"Oh no,"Hermione said."It's raining!"

"We should land,"Ron said sadly as it got harder.

"Your hair is curling,"Ron said, as they hit the ground.

Hermione fluffed it nervously, as she picked up Ginny's broom."It always does that when it get's wet."

"It's really pretty,"Ron said justificatory, as Hermione entered the broomstick shed."I mean-you're always pretty-I mean-"

"Thanks Ron,"Hermione said, kissing his cheek. They blushed for a few minutes."Um-we should probably go."

"Yeah,"Ron agreed."Ready to run?"

"Yeah,"she said, smiling broadly."C' mon, let's go.."

Harry's POV

"I wish I could've seen that Harry!"Ginny shouted happily."Ron's ears must've been blood red!"

"This is going to be easier then I thought,"Neville agreed.

In the common room, Professor McGonagall was looking for all the lost Gryffindors. She was suppose to announce the day of the first quidditch match to Harry and the other players, but she couldn't find any of them.

She opened all of the dormitory doors, until she found eight of the Gryffindors in the boy's dorms."Sixth years!"she shouted shrilly, making them all jump."What is the meaning of this?"

"We were trying to get Hermione and Ron together,"Ginny said hastily."Don't get the others in trouble because it was all my idea!"

"Trouble?"the professor japed."Trouble? Someone needs to do it! Lord knows that the teachers have tried!"

Harry gaped at her."You-you mean-"

"I never saw anything,"Professor McGonagall said."But in case you need any help-you can find me in room 864."

"But-"Harry had so many questions to ask her, but she ignored him and turned out of the room."Oh, and I saw Ron and Hermione coming up the steps about..now."

Lavender, Seamus, Dean, Parvati, Neville, and Luna jumped off the bed immediately, and ran into the common room.

Harry heard Ron's voice."Ginny!"

"Get in my bed!"Harry said pushingly.

"What-"

"Stop being foul minded!"Harry shouted."I'll close the hangings so Ron won't see us!"

"Oh!"Ginny said apprehensively.

Harry grabbed her hand, as they pulled the hangings. Harry's heart was betting through his chest as he heard the door open. Ron was changing out of his completely drenched clothes, as Ginny closed her eyes in prayer(which Harry found very funny because he'd never seen Ginny so frightened)."Harry?"Ron asked."Harry, are you in here?"

He pulled back the hangings of Harry's bed, and began to screamed. Ginny began to scream too."Why are you screaming?"Harry shouted to them both.

"Harry,"Ron said slowly."I'm going to kill you!"

"I didn't do anything!"Harry shouted."This might look bad-"

"Your face is about to look bad, Potter!"Ron shouted.

"Okay-okay!"Ginny shouted back."I-I confess! Harry and I are-um-in love!"

Harry and Ron's faces fell. Ginny elbowed Harry in his ribs."Uh-yeah,"Harry said."We uh-wanted to be blunt and tell you like this."

"But-but you guys weren't-"

"No!"Ginny shouted, insulted. She smacked Ron on the back of the head."You git!"

She hopped off the bed."Well, I'm off to dinner."

Harry moved forward, but Ron restrained him."We need to have a talk,"Ron said sourly."Man to man."

Harry listened intensely."Okay."

"If you ever hurt Ginny,"he said, pulling Harry by the collar."Then I'll hurt you."

He shoved Harry backwards."Oh-and I never want to see Ginny on your bed again!"

Harry stared at him in shock, and then realized he must've been serious.

"Hey!"Harry said defensively. He opened the door, following Ron. "I don't even want her on my bed!"

The Gryffindors all stared at him comically, yet curiously.

"Don't ask,"he told them, leaving the common room.
