Ron walked down the Gryffindor tower staircase,humming quietly to himself. Nearing the end of the sprial staircase, he stopped dead in his tracks. There on the Gryffindow common room couch was Harry, his best mate and Ginny, his little sister snogging each other. His jaw dropped, and he quickly yet quietly ran back up the stairs to find Hermione. Running into the dorm and slamming the door, he started to scream.
Hermione looked at him. "Merlin Ron, what happened to you?"
" Harry. Ginny. Snogging." He said eyes wide as a saucer,still in shock.
Hermione rolled her brown eyes. " I know."
" Harry, is so dead. He was—you knew!" He yelled throwing his hands up into the air.
"Yeah, Neville and I know. 'Cause he accidentally walked in on them snogging too and told me."
" And you didn't tell me?" Ron shouted again, now turning the famous Weasley red.
She sighed."We'll talk about this later, I have 16-inches of parchment to fill out for Potions."
Ron crossed his arms,obviously angry at Harry and plopped onto the four-poster bed.

At dinner, Hermione, Ron, and Neville sat together chatting about how they know, about Harry and Ginny.
" So you guys means all the time they went to 'study' they were actually," Ron shivered. " Snogging?"
Neville and Hermione nodded. " Yeaup. Your not gonna hurt Harry right Ron?" Neville asked, knowing how he reacts when Ron sees his sister with someone.
" Of course I am!" Ron said slamming his fist on the wooden table. Hermione glared hard at Ron and kicked his leg, making him yelp. " What the hell?" He said.
" You guys know what? We should play a trick on them, let's have fun knowing that we know about them. " Hermione ginned evily.
Ron and Neville blinked and stared at her. " What do you mean?" asked Ron knitting his eyebrows together in confusion.
" I mean when they say that they want to study, we join them." She said smiling. Nodding his head up and down Ron obviously agreeed with her, but Neville whimpered.
"You guys know what would be so much better?" Neville said.
Hermione and Ron looked at Neville." What?" they said in unison.
"Instead of playing a trick on them we could I dont know," He said in a high pitched voice. " Tell them we know" Neville said lowering his voice to its regular sound and giving them a stern look. Ron shook his head, disagreeing " No, I wanna do Hermione's plan." He said smiling a toothy grin.
" But I can't take—" Neville started off but got cut of by Hermione putting her hand up.
"You dont have to do anything Neville. Just dont tell them that we know about them,okay?" She said patting his shoulder.
" No, I cant take anymore secrects. I got your secrects," He said pointing at the her. " Harry and Ginny's secrects. I got secrects of my own you know." He finished with an upset look on his face pointing to himself.
Ron looked at Neville with a look. " You dont have secrects Nev." He explained.
Neville looked at him. " Oh yeah, well you dont know about Hugsy, my bedtime teddy bear." Realizing what he had just said Neville's eyes widened and noticed that Hermione and Ron were looking at him. Ron was bitting his lip trying not to snigger and Hermione had an aw face on her.
Then, Ron turned to Hermione. " So," He cleared his throat, trying to still hide that laugh. " How are we going to mess with them?"
Hermione drew a breath. "Well you will take your position as the bestfriend and brother. While I will use the strongest tool at my dispoal." Ron and Neville stared at her blankly, heads titlted slightly to the right. " My sexuality" She said. Then as Ron was about to open his mouth, Harry walked in. " Hello childs" He said a grin on his face as he took a seat next to Hermione. Hermione looked at the boys she was previously talking to and whispered " Watch and learn. Dont eat my food,Ron." She said and turned to Harry.
" Hi Harry." Hermione said with a simple smile.
"Hey." He said returning the smile to her.
" You know Harry,that Hogwarts robe looks really good on you." Hermione told him as she moved a strand of brown hair behind her ear.
Harry looked at her. " Really? " he asked her unconvinced.
She smiled,nodding. " Yeah, the material is so soft. " She said touching his upper arm,then squeezed his bicep. " Oh. Hello . You've been working out? " She asked then turned around to wink at Ron and Neville.
" Well, I do play alot of Qudditch. " Harry explained to her but then she broke out into and uncontrolable laugh. Harry stared at her strangley." You okay? " he asked as she stopped laughing.
"Well," Hermione played with the sleve of her robe. " If you really want to know—nevermind I can't tell you ."
Harry gave her a warm smile. " Hermione, you can tell me anything."
"Actually, your theonly person I cant tell. And the most person I want to tell the most." She said to him, not making any eye-contact. Harry gave her a werid-confused look. " Well sometimes your looking for something and then you see that its right infront of you with a lightning have I said to much?"
Harry blinked at her,shocked. Hermione liked him? "Uh, I have to " And in 5 seconds at least Harry was gone from the Great Hall.
Hermione turned back to Neville and Ron,smirking." And that is how its done."

That night, Harry knocked on Ginny's dorm. He waited,but she didnt open the door. Before he could knock again, the door swung open revealing a firey redheaded girl. "Hey" she smiled.
" Hey,Gin." Harry said walking into the dorm and kissing her cheek. "You know the weridest thing happened at lunch."
Ginny closed the door and looked at the jet-black haired boy infront of her. " What happened?" She asked.
" I think, I think Hermione was hitting on me." He told her, remembering what she had told him. Taken back,Ginny thought about it for a moment,then laughed. " What's so funny?" He asked her.
Clearing her throat to stop the laughter. " You thought Hermione was hitting on you." She said trying to contain the laughter building up inside of her petite body.
"Ginny,I'm serious. Hermione thinks I'm you know, foxy." He said, emphisizing the word 'foxy'. Ginny blinked, then burst out laughing again. " That's. Not . Possible. " She said laughing continuously,then gradually stopped. " Sorry Harry, but Hermione always thought of you as charming in a non-sexless kind of way. Maybe you misunderstood her Harry. " She explained to her boyfriend,sitting down on her bed.
Harry shook his head. " I didnt misunderstand her,Gin. She felt my is it so hard for you to believe that Hermione is attracted to me?" He walked over to her bed and sat next her. His girlfriend looked at him. " It's just not Harry. Not even logical to me."

In the common room the next morning, Harry, Ginny, Hermione and Ron sat on the couch, staring at the fireplace. Hermione stood but tucking a book under her arm. " Well im going to the library." She announced, then as she passed by Harry she bent down next to him and whispered. " I miss you already." Then she touched his shoulder, then walked out of the common room. Harry's jaw dropped at what had just happened,and turned to Ginny beside him.
" Well, Neville and I are going to do homework." Ron said getting up with Neville and going up the sprial staircase to the boy's dorms.
As soon as the two boys were gone, Harry stood up. " Did you see that with the inappropiate and the touching of my shoulder?" He asked the redhead sitting down infront of him.
Nodding her head Ginny looked up and met Harrys emerald green eyes. " I did."
"Okay, so now do you believe that she's attracted to me?"
Then Ginny gasped. " Oh dear Merlin, she knows about she's just trying to freak us 's the only explanation." Ginny explained.
" Okay, well what about my touchable arms and buldging biceps—she knows!" Harry shockingly said as Ginny nodded her head in agreement.
-xox-
Harry and Ginny went up to Neville and Ron's room,barging in right away. "Ron out for a minute." Demanded Ginny,pointing to the exit. Ron without agrument got up and left the room. Neville looked at Harry, then Ginny, then Harry again. " Hey guys." With a small nervous smile on his face.
" Neville, Hermione knows about us." Harry said pointing back and forth from him to Ginny.
Neville put on the best shocked face he could and fake gasped. " Really? Well, I didn't tell them." He said.
Ginny looked at Neville, with a scary look. " Who's them Neville." She sternly said to him crossing her arms.
"Uh, Hermione and...Neville." He said with a not so convincing voice. Harry and Ginny looked at him. "Okay Hermione and Ron. I wanted to tell you guys but they made me promise.I'm sorry its over now so you can tell them that you know that they know and I can go back to knowing nothing again" Neville suggested to the couple infront of him.
"But," Ginny said,with a grin. " They dont know that we know that they know. So—"
Harry knew where she was getting at and finished her sentence." Ah, yes. The messiers become the messys!"
"Ah man." Neville said.
