A/N Hey, back again with chapter 2! Hope you like it! R&R

Disclaimer: Unfortunately, I still do not own Harry Potter, its characters…

Enjoy!

Ginny woke up to the sounds of people running on the stairs.

"What the-" she began, when the boys banged into the room Ginny and Hermione were sharing.

"Hermione, we really need to talk about-," said Ron, before realising Ginny was there. "Oh, hi Gin, didn't see you there…You know, I think Mum was just saying how she wanted to see you, something about making the breakfast? Right, Harry?"

"What?" replied Harry, confused, before being hit in the stomach by Ron, "Oh, yeah, she did…" Ginny just shook her head while Harry grimaced at the pain, still confused.

"Yeah, I'm sure she did Ron, did she also refer to how she wants you and Harry to clean that pit you sleep in?" Ginny smiled, knowing she had him. As soon as she walked down those stairs to be given a chore, she would casually mention how Ron's bedroom had yet to be cleared out to anyone's standards, never mind Mrs Weasley.

"Fine Ginny, we'll just talk later," Ron grunted before storming out. Harry nodded and moved to follow him. He paused at the doorway.

"A game of Quidditch later, Gin?" asked Harry, smiling that crooked smile. Ginny wondered inwardly if he did it on purpose, like he knew what it did to her. Hermione smiled at Ginny, knowing the feelings her friend had for Harry.

"Yeah, sure," she replied, recovering from the smile, "if I'm not stuck with chores." She added, jokingly. Harry laughed with her and then left. She couldn't believe she was still able to speak to him and she made him laugh!

"Well done, Ginny!" praised Hermione, happy for her friend. "You were really good. You didn't even sound nervous, you spoke to him like a normal person, as if you were good friends!"

"Really?" asked Ginny, dazed, "Do you think he sees us that way? You know, 'good friends'?"

"Yeah, of course Ginny!" answered Hermione, sincerely. She went over to Ginny's bed and wrapped her arms around Ginny. "I think you definitely have a chance of your plan working." Ginny had told Hermione about her plan last night, when Hermione had returned from Ron's room. She had promised to help Ginny but not tell Harry. "By the way," Hermione continued, casually, "do you think your brother notices me? I mean, really notices me, you know, like how I'm a girl?" Ginny laughed. This was going to be a good summer.

After debating whether or not Ron was aware that Hermione was both his friend and a member of the female species, they proceeded down the stairs for breakfast.

"You know, Gin," said Hermione, as they descended into the kitchen, "I think Dean really likes you, you know, in that way." This was a part of Ginny's plan that Hermione had added; make Harry jealous.

"Really, you think?" asked Ginny, playing along. Before responding, Hermione looked out of the corner of her eye to see Harry's reaction. He looked up, interested at first before continuing with his breakfast. Hermione did notice, however, that his eyes seemed slightly more determined and his grip on his fork and knife seemed tighter.

"Oh, yeah, definitely," Hermione continued, as if she hadn't just been observing Harry. To see if Harry was still listening, she turned to him. Immediately, his head snapped down to face his plate, a slight blush grazing his cheeks. "What do you think, Harry?" Hermione sat down across from him, beside Ron, while Ginny took the vacant chair beside Harry.

"What?" replied Harry, as if he hadn't just been eavesdropping on their conversation.

"Dean and Ginny. They would make a good couple, right?" Hermione rolled her eyes. Ginny's shoulders shook lightly from suppressed giggles.

"Umm," Harry gulped, "I guess so, I wouldn't really know…" he trailed off.

"Does he ever mention Ginny? You know, when you all are in the dormitory, talking about girls, does he talk about her?"

Of course he does, thought Harry. Dean had had a crush on Ginny since their third year. He had told both Harry and Ron, while they were in their dormitory, that he had feelings for Ginny. At the time, neither Harry nor Ron cared much about how much Dean liked Ginny. Ron just shrugged his shoulders and went to sleep. Harry just nodded, awkwardly, not sure how to feel. He decided to feel the same way Ron did, as he looked at Ginny like a sister. However, as he spent more time with Ginny, in Hogwarts, at the Burrow etc., he began to wonder whether his feelings toward her were just brotherly and friendly or maybe something more. But, he hadn't been able to test those feelings. Until now.

"Umm," Harry felt his cheeks heat up, "not really, right Ron?" looking to his mate for support.

"Wha?" exclaimed Ron, his mouth full of food. Hermione glanced at Ron disgustedly, tutted, before returning her gaze to Harry. Ron swallowed then continued, "Are you mad? He bloody never stops talking about her!"

Harry sighed and continued eating his food. Hermione glanced at Ginny and nodded to let Ginny know that Harry had reacted and in a good way.

Stage 1 complete, thought Ginny, onto Stage 2
