Chapter 2- The Half-Baked Plan *Ron*

Wonder what Hermione's doing today… maybe I should ask. Nah, probably spending time with the saviour of the wizarding world, the great Harry Potter. I just don't know what happened- we were fine, perfect even, and suddenly she's saying she can't see me, it's not working out, blah blah blah. Someone should write a book; "Translating Mad Things Girls Do, So Guys Can Understand Them." Needs a better title.

I'm in my room, like usual. I spend so much time at the Burrow these days, just trying to escape the never ending reporters, fans and cameras. Crowds of people. Since becoming famous I can't get away from them, it's like they just know where I am all the time. We don't have many famous people in our world, not like Muggles do, I remember Hermione telling me… I miss that girl… Oops, Ginny's looking at me like I'm supposed to say something. Think of something quick!

"Err, yeah." I try to look like I know what I've just agreed to, but I don't think it quite works. She looks at me for a minute, but seems to decide what I said is ok. Phew. Guess I better follow her and see what she wants, just to make up for ignoring her earlier. We go to her room, and she locks the door behind us, followed by several privacy wards. Must be important.

"Ron, I think I know how we can make everything right. Save our friends, stop our family falling apart AND get our relationships back together. I found a book, there's a spell here we can use to send all our memories and magic back to our younger selves. It's not easy but we can do it together. You do want her back, don't you?"

My sister must be nuts, if she needs to ask the most basic question ever. What's she even trying to imply with that anyway? "I'd do anything Gin, you know I would!"

"Good. There's a list of ingredients there for the potion, and the instructions… well, I'll sort that out. We'll go back and make sure there is NO WAY that Hermione and Harry will ever fall in love. He will love me, and Hermione will be all yours. Simple!"

She looks pretty scary when she wants something; I'm never getting on the wrong side of her. Maybe this isn't such a good idea, I mean I don't really want to go through the whole thing with Voldemort all over again. But how can I refuse the chance to start over with Hermione? With everything I know about her now, she will never be angry or upset with me again because I can avoid that. I'll be amazing in school, I've already done it once… I can just picture the look on McGonagall's face when I ace her extremely difficult subject! And it would impress Hermione- my mind is made up, and before I know it I'm outside the apothecary with a long list of potion ingredients. I can't fail...
