A/N–You guys have been amazing! I never expected all of this so early, and I have you the R/R's to thank for that! I'm hoping Chapter Three is as big as a hit! If it is, review me! And if it's not, do it anyways and tell me suggestions, comments, etc. I'll take constructive criticism too, so don't be shy! I just had a break through idea, and I'm going to be adding major twists in this chapter and probably the next, so watch out for clues and any turn arounds that'll happen. I have a weird feeling that some will love this chapter, and some might find it confusing. And please take no offense to a certain character to which I make out to be... a bit awful. I have nothing against her, but it just makes the plot a lot more fun to write!

Oh yeah! I have props to give to four people who've helped me a lot:

Siriuslyobsessed-Thanks for the wonderful suggestion! I'm partly using it so everybody applaud!

Puck- Thanks for pointing out to me my huge mistake I made with Luna! I feel so foolish about that but hopefully I'll be able to make it fit with the story, so everyone hug you computer so Puck will feel the gratefulness when she reads this!

Dingbat-You gave me an awesome character that I can built on so thanks so much for that!

HPluVr77-You've been my best fanfiction buddy so here's to you!

I'll stop typing(I know you're thinking it)and give you guys chapter three!

Chapter Three

Harry's POV

Harry was sitting drowsily in the library Sunday night, studying desperately on McGonagall's test the next day, which he gravely knew he would fail.

Nothing could making him stop now, except...

Ginny.

She'd been in his mind so very much lately, that was why he couldn't study. He couldn't barely eat, and quidditch was only merriment when she was there. He didn't know what was going on with him, but he knew one thing. If phase two didn't go perfectly tomorrow, then the whole plan might be foiled. Ron and Hermione had gotten into one small-scale argument, which frightened the schemers that all of their hard work would be ruined by Ron and Hermione's pigheaded attitudes.

To make sure phase two was a success, it required professional help that only the omnipotent and authoritative people could do. Harry gulped, and packed up his books, the studying obviously over. He would face his fate tomorrow in McGonagall's class, but now was time to put that aside for Ron and Hermione.

Harry exited the library waving to Hermione, who had been there for hours and still have a foot of books in front of her face. He entered the corridor."Harry?"

Harry wheeled himself around, to see Cho Chang standing before him, innocently enough. Yeah right, Harry thought dolefully. She is not innocent, no matter what disguise she uses. Even Ron knows that.

"Cho,"Harry said."Um-hi."

"Hi Harry,"Cho said politely."I just wanted to say that I'm really glad that you and Ginny are together."

"Thanks,"Harry said oddly."That's really-um, nice."

"Well, see you later Harry!"Cho said happily, touching his arm affectionately.

Harry watched her leave, confusion making his brain scattered.

Hermione's POV

Hermione had just gotten up from her table, a thousand books in her arms, when she noticed Harry talking to Cho Chang. That can't be right, she thought. Harry's dating Ginny!

She watched Cho touch Harry's arm, and flutter her eyelashes in flirtation.

Hermione dropped all of her book(the librarian snapped at her but she ignored her), and gasped. Oh no, she thought. Harry is cheating on Ginny!

Cho's POV

"Marietta, you're were right!"Cho said angrily."Harry really has moved on!"

"What are you going to do?"Marietta asked, as they walked up the staircase to their common room."You can't just let that Weasley take him without a fight!"

Cho grinned broadly."That's why I'm going to break them up,"she said happily."Project H.A.G. is underway."

Marietta scrunched up her eyebrow."HAG?"

"H.A.G.,"Cho corrected."Harry against Ginny ,of course."

"Oh,"Marietta said tardily."So what do we do first?"

"You'll like it, Mar,"Cho said evilly."Trust me on this..."

Harry's POV

Harry turned the other way, not wanting to run into Cho again. He didn't know what she was up to, but it wasn't anything beneficial.

He accidentally ran right into Ginny, who was apparently heading to the library herself.

"Sorry,"Harry said, apologetically ." Hey Gin, will you come with me?"

'Where?"Ginny asked, moving her bag strap around on her shoulder.

"Room 864."

Hermione's POV

"Ron!"Hermione yelled impatiently."Ron! Help please-"

Ron came to her aid, taking the stack of books Hermione was slowly dropping into his arms, and setting it on the table.

"Thanks Ron,"Hermione said."Ron, you wouldn't believe what I saw!"

"Not Luna and Neville...?"

"No!"Hermione said incredulously."Why-have you?"

"I don't want to talk about it,"Ron said, frowning mildly.

"I think that Harry is cheating on Ginny with Cho!"Hermione said wildly.

Ron's face fell."What?"he shouted."I'm going to kill that son of-"

"Ron, calm down,"Hermione demanded."C' mon, sit down so we can talk."

Hermione took his hand, and led him to the couch.

Ron had no choice so he reluctantly obeyed."What did you see Hermione?"

"I saw them flirting in front of the library,"Hermione gushed."But Ron-you can't get upset about this."

Ron clenched his teeth."To late Hermione! The second he walks through the-"

"Ron,"Hermione interrupted."Do you trust me?"

"Wha-"

"Do-you-trust-me?"she said choppily."Just answer."

"Yeah,"Ron said annoyingly.

"Then don't kill Harry yet,"Hermione said."That came out wrong-don't kill Harry at all-"

"Mione, what's your point?"Ron asked desperately.

"We can investigate this,"Hermione said."You know-to be sure. It could've been completely innocent."

"Cho is not innocent,"Ron said."Even Harry knows that."(A/N-Where have you heard that before?)

"I meant Harry,"Hermione explained."We've known him for a long time, Ron. He's our best friend, and he could be insulted if we ask him."

Ron nodded, still not quite knowing where she was going.

"We need to make sure everything is honorable on Harry's part,"Hermione continued.

"So, what we're doing is a plan?"Ron asked, finally comprehending.

"Project H.A.G."

"Hag?"Ron squealed."What rubbish-"

"Project Harry and Ginny,"Hermione explained."You git."

Ron's face began to drop, but then he began to laugh. He grabbed a pillow, and chucked it at Hermione's head.

She started to laugh too, and then jumped up in time to be saved from the pillow.

Sh took her own, and hit Ron square on the forehead, making him fall backwards.

"I was trying to be nice, but no-"

"Oh shut up Weasley, and give my your best shot!"Hermione said, laughing savagely.

Ron gave her a humorous look, as the two begin to whack aimlessly at one another.

Harry's POV

After casting Ginny a truly perplexed look, Harry cautiously knocked on Room Number 864.

"Is that-"

"Music,"Harry answered."I think-"

They door swung open, and standing in the doorway was no other then Professor Snape.

"Potter!"he said happily."My best students-come on in!"

He grabbed Ginny's arm, and led her in. Harry followed, not sure what he was seeing.

Room 864 was like a lounge for teachers, but it resembled nothing like his old public school's teacher's lounges.

The lights were off, and were replaced by a large disco ball and a light that displayed circles on the walls. Loud music was blaring, and Harry vaguely recognized it as The Weird Sisters.

There were large amounts of firewhiskey on tables, floors, and in the teachers' hands.

"Harry!"Ginny shouted."Harry!"

"I'm here!"Harry shouted back over the music. He took her hand, and led her to the wall, away from the speakers.

"Do you see McGonagall?"Harry asked.

"Over there!"Ginny pointed."Look-beside Flitwick!"

Harry looked over there dangerously."You go."

"You dragged me here!"Ginny said crossly."This was your idea!"

"Okay!"Harry exclaimed."Just stay here!"

He made his way across the dance floor, avoiding Snape who was break dancing.

"Professor!"

McGonagall turned around."Is that you?"

"Uh..yeah."

She went to the speakers, and turned them off. It was immediately serenity.

"Oi!"Sprout yelled angrily.

"Calm down,"McGonagall said gently."We have to talk about something important."

"What could be more important then this?"Snape snapped."I-"

"Go to sleep Snape,"McGonagall said shortly.

"Okay!"

Snape hit the floor. Ginny carefully hopped over her professor's snoring body.

"Miss Weasley!"McGonagall said brightly."Nice to see you and- Mr. Potter. Here, together."

"Awww!"the remaining professors said sweetly.

"I-I always knew!"Professor Flitwick said drunkenly., taking yet another sip of firewhiskey.

Harry and Ginny blushed, considering they weren't actually dating. Harry had heard this a thousand times, but it never got any less embarrassing.

"So, why have you come to me today?"McGonagall asked."The day before my transfiguration test."

Harry glared at Ginny. He was sure he'd heard this before, but he brushed it off. It was probably good that McGonagall was half way drunk, because Harry doubted that if she wasn't she wouldn't agree to what he was about to tell her.

"I was hoping you would be able to help me with something, "Harry said.

"Come to my office, so we can talk..."

Luna's POV

Luna knocked gently on Dumbledore's door. She took a deep breath, and reminded herself to let it out. She'd wanted to talk to the headmaster since the first day, but she was just to scared to admit what she was feeling.

"Miss Lovegood!"the headmaster said."Come in! Come in!"

She gave him a small smile, and entered the study. She took a seat in front of him, clasping her hands together fidgety.

"So Miss Lovegood, I assume you come here for some other reason then just my company."

Luna forced a delicate laughed."I was just wondering if you're sure I'm suited for Gryffindor,"she said quietly.

"Well, you know about the sorting hat demanded that you be re-tested after your part in the Department of Mysteries last year,"he said calmly."And if you will let me say so-you seem to be fitting in very well in Gryffindor."

"I am,"Luna agreed.

"This isn't a matter of fitting in, is it Miss Lovegood?"

Luna nodded.

"And you have no desire to return to Ravenclaw?"

Luna nodded again, wondering if it was that easy for her emotions to be read, or if it was just one of Dumbledore's many talents.

"I assure you that if you hadn't been right for Gryffindor, you wouldn't have been in the Department of Mysteries last year,"he said."You-and everyone else-had bravery that day that many grown wizards my age don't have."

Luna bit her lip."But I don't feel brave."

Dumbledore grinned broadly."It's not about feeling brave. Bravery is not something you are born with, but something you chose to have."

He stood up, walking around his study."Mr. Potter is the prime example of that. I remember when he was just an eleven year old boy, who couldn't believe he was a wizard. Look at him now. Look at what he's done, what he's over come."

Luna nodded.

"And I'm certain that you, Luna Lovegood, belong in Gryffindor."

"Thank you headmaster,"Luna said graciously."How can I thank you?"

"Well, I do like socks..."

Harry's POV

Harry entered transfiguration the next day, and saw the odd glint in his professor's eyes. He laughed, and found his seat beside Neville. Seamus and Lavender sat in front of them, with Dean and Parvati behind them.

Ron and Hermione entered the classroom casting odd looks at Harry, and talking in an undertone.

Harry and Neville exchanged brief glances. I wonder what they're up to, Harry wondered..

Ron and Hermione took their seats beside Harry and Neville, but there was still enough room for the professor to walk through.

"Today I'm going to pass back all of your essays that you've done this term so you'll know how you're doing,"Professor McGonagall said."Then you'll be taking the test."

Harry got satisfactory marks on all of his essays, but he wasn't even worried about his grades. He was watching Ron, with crossed fingers.

Ron's POV

"Oh good,"Hermione said."Full marks again!"

Ron ignored it. He was sure he was going to fail his essays, and what was worse about that is that he had to have that displayed in front of Hermione.

"Good job Mr.Weasley,"McGonagall said.

Ron looked at the paper. He had full marks.

"W-wha-"

"Ron!"Hermione said excitingly."You did great!"

Ron still couldn't believe it. Must've just been luck, he thought. He continued to say that through the second and third, but on the fourth he was feeling pretty good about himself.

He held the papers up to Harry, who smiled in reply. He put his papers down, and noticed Dean give Harry a thumbs-up. Must be for his grades, he thought, brushing it aside.

"Now, please put up your essays and get out a quill and parchment."

Ron obeyed, still glowing from his perfect grades.

Harry's POV

Harry felt bad that Ron was so proud for work that Luna had done, but he still amused that it'd worked so well. He tried concentrating on his test, but he couldn't lose to overanxiousness. And he still had rambling thoughts of that petite red head that seemed to pollute his mind now. No matter how much he tried, he couldn't get her off his mind.

"Please pass your tests to the right when you're done."

Harry began to panic. How long had he been daydreaming?

He felt a jab in his ribs, and realized it was Hermione. He took her test, and put it under his. He had a strong urge to copy it, but he stopped himself.

He finally finished it, though he doubted even half of the answers were correct. Ron finally turned his in."Go Neville,"Harry whispered, giving him a push.

Neville nervously untied his shoes, letting the laces hang. He walked through the front of the room, down the left side toward's McGonagall's desk, when he tripped right in front of Ron's and Hermione's desk.

He landed on his face, leaning on Ron's chair for support.

Harry quickly snatched Ron's test, and began erasing answers while putting the right ones from Hermione's test in the empty spaces.

Meanwhile, Neville was definitely doing his task well. He'd knocked over Ron and his chair, and had proceeded to knock over two more desks. Professor McGonagall was standing beside him, appearing as though she was helping when she was actually making it worse.

Harry cleared his throat, and Neville immediately jumped up."Sorry,"he said, walking back to his desk, all eyes still on him. Hermione cast Harry a very cynical look. Harry smiled and waved mockingly.

Cho's POV

"Marietta, are you sure we're in the right place?"

"My cousin would not lie to us,"Marietta said."At least I don't think so."

He'd told them to meet them on the fifth floor, beside the statue of Goldstein Wineburg.

Finally, they saw him.

Drake Turner was a lady's man. He was in his seventh year, and was around Ron's height. He had long shaggy brown hair, and amazing blue eyes. His talk was charming and smooth, and could make any girl fall flat on his face.

"The fall of Ginny Weasley,"Cho said, smiling broadly.

"How are you two ladies doing?"he asked slickly.

"Just fine, Drake,"Marietta said giggly.

"You look very beautiful today."

Marietta giggled again."Drake, you're so sweet.."

"Can we focus?"Cho interrupted."Or do I need to remind you two that you're cousins?"

"Don't worry,"Drake said."There's enough Drake for everyone."

"I just want you to break up someone,"Cho said.

"Oh, this is business,"Drake said, as though the thought had just dawned on him."Who's the girl?"

"Ginny Weasley, fifth year Grryffindor,"Cho said.

Drake clicked his tongue."Ew-that's hard,"he said."Don't think I haven't tried her."

"Well do it again!"Cho snapped."I'll pay you five gallons everyday if you just get her to break up with Harry."

"Done,"Drake said."I'll take my first payment now."

Cho reached in her pocket, and handed him the coins.

Marietta and him were making very inappropriate looks at each other, laughing about absolutely nothing.

"I'm going now,"Cho said quickly."Oh, and I'm owling our mum Marietta. That's just gross."

Hermione's POV

"You did really well today Ron,"she said at dinner."I'm really proud."

"Thanks Hermione,"Ron managed to say through his chicken and mashed potatoes.

"So how are you and Ginny doing?"Hermione asked politely to Harry.

"Um, just fine,"Harry said, taking a sudden interest in his green peas.

Ron and Hermione exchanged brief glances, and then returned to their food.

Ginny's POV

Ginny walked down the corridor to the Gryffindor common room. She was so tired, she'd decided to skip dinner. But she was also scared to go to sleep, because she might start having the dreams again.

She was dreaming about Harry. She didn't know why, but he just wouldn't leave her head. It's like a bad cold, she thought. Except for much better.

She shook her head. She wasn't even thinking clearly. She couldn't fall for Harry. They were finally good friends. Besides, she thought, Harry would never like me. He's only pretending to date me because Ron would've kill him after he found us on Harry's bed.

Her thoughts had made her unaware of her surroundings, and felt someone put on a hand on her hip. She turned around, and shoved the boy away."What are you doing?"

"Calm down,"said the boy sugary."I'm Drake."

Ginny eyed him oddly."I'm-"

"Beautiful,"Drake said.

Ginny looked at him a coldly."What do you want?"

"I want your company,"Drake said smoothly.

"I have a boyfriend,"Ginny said.

"Yeah, but you don't have me,"he said, as though it was a huge problem.

"And I plan to keep it that way,"she snapped, turning around abruptly.

Lavender's POV

Lavender sighed, just coming from making out with Seamus in a small secluded closet. The two turned the corner, and saw Ginny."Gin-"

Lavender stopped herself, and turned to Seamus."Seamus, is Ginny-"

"Yeah,"Seamus said softly."Ginny is cheating on Harry."

They watch the boy but a hand on her hip, and they turned around.

"We can't let this happen!"Lavender said, absolutely astonished."C' mon, we're going to go talk to the others about this."

Harry's POV

Harry walked into the common room to see a sleeping Ginny on the lumpy couch. He laughed, and sat down beside her."Gin?"

"Harry?"she asked, rubbing her eyes."Hi."

"Hi,"he said. She was so close to his face now, that he wanted to kiss her. He wanted to so bad. He leaned in, and so did she...

When he heard a tap on the window. He looked up, and saw a tawny owl clicking his nails against the glass.

He cursed inside his head, but he knew he couldn't ignore it.

Ginny sighed, as he got up to fetch it."Who's it from?"she asked, trying to sound casual.

"Lupin,"Harry said, surprise in his voice.

Dear Harry,

How are you? I hope you're doing well! I've just heard about Ginny and you, and I thought I'd give you this letter. I put off giving it to you, but I think now is the right time. Sirius wrote it last year when he thought you might need a talk, and since I'm the next father figure, I should deliver this to you. Please owl me if anything is wrong or if you need someone to talk to.

From,

R. Lupin

Harry let Ginny read Lupin's letter, while he unscrolled Sirius' letter.

Dear Harry,

I realize this must be very embarrassing for you, but it is for me too. If you ever have any urges to do some 'things', then I must warn you to decline them. You're very smart and I trust you to do the right thing. And if you ever get to were you just can't wait any longer, please protect yourself. I'm telling you that for when you get older, not for now. Just know that teenagers shouldn't do 'that.' Oh, and sorry for writing this!

Your Godfather,

Sirius

Harry blinked a few times, before he realized that he was having the talk through a year old letter.

"Let me see the other one!"Ginny said, enthusiastically.

"No way!"Harry said playfully."This letter is very inappropriate for a young lady!"

Ginny smiled at him comically, then held his gaze."Harry-"

She stood up slowly, and Harry pulled her to him.

The portrait door swung open, and the two immediately parted. Ginny sat back on the couch, and Harry got very interested in what was happening outside.

"Guess what guys,"Hermione said, not waiting for them to guess."McGonagall just stood Ron and I that we both made perfect marks on her test today!"

Harry gave a reluctant smile."Congratulations."

"We should study together sometime,"Hermione said."You know-quiz each other."

"Will you go flying with me afterwards?"Ron asked, hopeful.

"Of course,"Hermione said sweetly.

"Then it's a date-I mean, two friends just doing stuff-"

Harry started to snicker under his breath.

"I know what you meant, Ron,"Hermione said, yawning."I'm going bed."

"Me too,"Ginny agreed, standing up."Night Harry...night Ron."

Lavender's POV

"I can't believe that!"Parvati cried shrilly."Not Ginny! Oh, poor Harry!"

The four were sitting in the library, a deserted place at eight at night(whenever Hermione wasn't there, of course).

"I always knew it,"Dean said knowingly.

Dean, Lavender, and Parvati glared at him angrily.

"Okay, I didn't,"he admitted."But still, what are we going to do?"

"Well, I had an idea,"Lavender said. Everyone clapped softly for her, but she ignored them."We start a plan to see if she really is!"

"Project Harry and Ginny,"Seamus added.

"Or H.A.G. for short," Parvati supplied.

"We have a plan?"Dean asked, surprise in his voice.

"We have a plan,"Lavender said, as though it was final.
