Chapter 19
DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN ANYTHING! Just playing with them...
The next few weeks were hard for Hermione and Draco, seeing as they still had to hide their relationship from their friends and classmates, and even teachers. I mean really, could you see Snape welcoming this news with an open mind? They still had to act like they hated each other around other people, and it was difficult not to take some of the comments personal, even though they knew it was just an act.
And she didn't want Harry and Ron to find out how far their relationship had gone, knowing they still wouldn't understand. So all of this plus the added bonus of keeping Sirius a secret, and working on her plan about getting Harry to realize how Ginny felt about him, and school work, it was hectic to say the least. So Hermione was in the library studying transfiguration, she had 3 scrolls due in two days, when she saw Ginny with "Cupid's Arrow" again. And this time Hermione called her on it.
"Ginny, could I talk to you for a moment please?" Hermione asked as she walked up to Ginny. "Well, yeah, I don't see why not" Ginny replied, looking a bit confused and embarrassed. "May I ask why you've been studying that book for the last 3 months, and why you've been stealing potion ingredients from me? Really rare ones, too" Hermione said as she leaned close to Ginny so noone else could hear them.
"No particular reason, just curious about the origins of love potions, and I'm just borrowing the ingredients till I get my allowance from my parents...for the next 4 years... to pay you back. I'm certainly not making them to use on anybody...anyway, who would I use them on?" asked Ginny with false innocents. "Ginny, first of all, you don't have to pay me back for that, and secondly, you don't have to lie to me. Your making them to use them on Harry, aren't you? No, don't be embarrassed, I think it's wonderful. You two are perfect for each other, we just have to make Harry see it. Now I have a plan, but I need your help to pull it off. Are you interested?" Hermione asked Ginny quietly, an intense and excited look on her face. Ginny didn't stand a chance.
"Why not? What's the plan?" Ginny said, grateful to have somebody on her side to help her. "Well, all we need to do is..." Hermione started
