Harry was in the kitchen talking when he noticed everyone go quiet and noticed that Tonks was trying to hide her laughter he turned around to see Ron standing there looking at him. ''What do you want''
Ron shuffled his feet ''Uh, i just spoke to Mione...''
''What why? If you've upset her I swear...''
''No, no I haven't upset her I went to talk to her, I wanted to apologise I explained to her why I acted the way I did and I know I was in the wrong I told her I don't' want to lose our friendship nor yours and I told her I would make it up to her, and I asked that if there was any part of her that could forgive me and that if she wanted to throw away such a long friendship then it was fine, but she listened, we talked and it's sorted, i got to work hard to earn her trust but she will give me a chance, so now I want to ask you the same can we have a go at being friends again.''
Harry eyed Ron suspiciously this wasn't like Ron ''Sorry, but I must say why the change of heart? this isn't' like you Ron you never come to us and admit you are wrong even when you have said sorry in the past you still believed you were in the right, it's very suspicious don't' you think? and I don't' care how you felt the things you said about my God daughter and Sister was pure evil no amount of emotion could make you that hateful, so forgive me if I am suspicious''
Ron chuckled ''Mione said the same thing, but I just felt angry, hurt and betrayed I wanted you both to feel the same way I felt I didn't' mean any of it I know Mione would work hard to find a cure I'm not stupid so can we give it a go, i mean Mione has agreed so it's just you now''
''You mean you played on her forgiving nature Ron knowing full well she is emotional and how much she values our friendship''
''No, I never I just asked her if there was some part of her that still considered our friendship important and wanted it back as much as I did that's all honest''
Harry didn't believe him for one moment but he guessed he could give him a chance if Hermione could then he could and to be honest he would like to keep a close eye on him ''Fine I'll give you a chance, it will take time and I WILL be watching you closely, if you so much as upset Hermione or pass any comments about my family you'll regret it, Mione might be forgiving but I am not so much of a forgiving person, i used to be and I can be but you as far as I am concerned don't' deserve it, but Mione is giving it a go then so shall I.''
He saw Ron smile ''Make no mistakes Ron I am doing this for Mione's sake I am giving you a chance to earn my forgiveness don't' blow it''
Ron gulped he hadn't expected Harry to be that set in his ways, but it was ok he still had a chance to be Harry's friend again, and get Hermione all to himself he nodded ''That's fine, i won't ruin it I am annoyed at the way I treated her and you''
Harry nodded ''Fine, well sit down you may as well, where's Mione anyway''
''Gone to see Ginny said she hasn't' seen her for a while or something''
Harry nodded ''Oh right fair enough'' Harry soon got into a conversation about Quidditch and his Auror Training he would be starting very soon. which meant he didn't' see the narrowed eyes or the disgusted look on Remus's face.
Remus watched as Ron apologised to Harry he frowned but when he heard he had got forgiveness from Hermione he knew he had played her used her forgiving nature to worm his way back in, however he would be keeping a close eye he had heard of his and Ginny's little plan and he wouldn't' allow it, he would do anything to see Harry and Hermione happy they deserved it he wasn't' about to let two jealous Weasley's ruin that happiness.
Hermione walked away from the family wing and towards the bedroom she shared many times before Harry had sorted the family wing she knocked on the younger girls door ''Gin''
Ginny was sitting on her bed writing some notes on her plan down as well as ideas she didn't' want to forget when she heard Hermione's voice she wondered if Ron had achieved his goal of apologising she hit the parchment under her pillow before sitting up right at her desk pretending she was doing homework ''Yeah''
Hermione opened the door and smiled ''Hey, you ok''
''Fine why.''
''Oh it's just you haven't been around lately and I haven't seen you since I told everyone about what happened and I just wanted to see you were ok and if we...if were ok I don't want you to be disgusted in me Gin, i didn't' want what happened to me to happen it just did''
Ginny may be plotting against Hermione but she wasn't' disgusted at Hermione for being raped she felt sorry for her actually, she wouldn't' wish that on anyone she couldn't' imagine what it must have felt like being that young as well so when she spoke she was being genuine, she just wanted Harry for herself ''No, i know Mione, Ron was wrong I know you wouldn't' lie about that, and I cant' imagine what it must have been like for you to go through something like that, i admire your strength in that department, I'm just a little tired lately that's all, has Ron been to see you yet to apologise for being a prat''
Hermione smiled in relief ''Thank Merlin I'm glad you don't' hate me, and yes I have forgiven him but I am watching him closely he is on thin ice very, very thin ice with me but forget about him, how are you doing and why do you feel so tired is there something wrong?'' Hermione looked concerned ''You know you can tell me anything don't you, even if it's about Harry, i know you like him not that i see the attraction mind you''
Ginny raised an eyebrow ''What do you mean''
''Well come on, Gin i don't' look at him like that,'' she shuddered ''It's disturbing, no he's my brother always has been same with
Ron I don't' see him as anything else it would be like you kissing the twins or Ron it's gross.''
Ginny relaxed a little that was good, but although she may believe Hermione's part she wasn't so sure about Harry ''Well why doesn't he notice me then, it's like he only has eyes for you''
Hermione laughed and laughed hard ''Oh...oh that's so funny, Gin he doesn't see me like that, he sees me as his sister that is all, as for not noticing you, he has noticed you he thinks you're a lovely and beautiful girl, but I don't' think he sees you in the way you want him too, i think he sees you as his little sister don't' forget he's known you since you were eleven Gin but I could be wrong I could find out if you wanted, it may take a while however''
Ginny was stunned she didn't' know what to think at Hermione's confession and she partly felt bad for plotting against her now however as long as Hermione and the kids were a close to him he would focus on them and no one else because she is giving him everything he ever wanted a family perhaps she could find anther way to put a wedge between them that didn't' include hurting little kids or Hermione too much ''Oh right, i guess and no it's ok if it's meant to happen it'll happen perhaps I'll play some Quidditch over Christmas with him''
Hermione nodded ''That would be cool he'd enjoy that, although it would have to be after Christmas, he's coming home with me this year to spend it with my mum, dad and the kids were leaving after my Graduation so he won't be around but after that should be fine i know Harry loves his Quidditch''
Ginny's face dropped ''He's going to yours''
''Yeah, he often did come to mine and stay over even when we were younger my parents would collect him from the Dursely's and he would stay with us he loves spending it with us, when ever he could obviously without raising suspicion''
''Oh right ok, well after Christmas I suppose, will you be here for new year''
''Oh yea me Harry and the kids that's where we went today to buy things for the kids rooms, you can go have a look later if you like I'm sure Harry will take you, were in the family wing anyway''
''Did you buy much''
''Loads' Hermione chuckled ''Harry bought the kids a TV each much to my annoyance I had no say in the matter but I had to buy new stuff, beds, wardrobes and some cloaks so I spent quite a bit on them''
Ginny tried not to yell Harry should be spending his money on her not Hermione and her kids but she kept her cool ''Oh right, that's ok then I'll see you both the New year, aren't you going back to Uni tonight?''
''Yep, last minute studying before the exams tomorrow''
''Oh please you know you'll pass you did in Hogwarts remember''
Hermione smiled ''Well, let hope so they are harder than the Owls and Newt's were though, anyway I better go I need to say by to Harry, remember if you ever need to talk about anything you can come to me, even if it is about my brother, I'll try not to be sick'' Hermione grinned at the younger girl ''See you soon Gin''
''Yeah thanks Mione and good luck'' Ginny watched as Hermione left the room she would need to work on Harry these two days while she could seeing as Hermione was at Uni Ginny yelled in frustration.
Hermione made her way down the stairs and into the kitchen she saw Ron talking with Harry and smiled she walked over and took her seat next to Ron ''I see you boys have made up then''
Harry looked at Hermione and saw she was smiling a genuine smile and smiled back he would do this to keep her happy ''I have said I will give him a chance for your sake mostly''
Ron grinned ''Yeah i told him I was sorry but like I said to you, i am going to make it up to you both of you''
Hermione smiled ''Good it would be nice to have the old Ron back, right Harry''
Harry frowned a little but stopped when he heard Hermione speak to him ''Oh yeah of course''
Hermione smiled ''Oh Harry I spoke with Gin, I told her you could take her to see the kids rooms, Ron too if you like later''
Harry nodded ''Sure,'' just then they heard the fire flare followed closely by the twins
''Well, Hello everyone what''
''do we''
''Have''
''Here''
Fred grinned ''Not sure Fred,''
''I must say George ikkle Ronikins is looking''
''very good''
''in''
''Slytherin colours''
Molly frowned at the twins ''Fred, George stop it, leave him alone''
''Sorry''
''Mum but''
''He deserved it and''
''You must admit he does look''
''Funny'' The twins chimed in unison and then turned to look at Hermione ''So what''
''Are you'' George said leaning on the other side of her
''Up to'' Fred grinned causing Hermione to laugh
Hermione couldn't' help it and laughed ''I'm going back to Uni in a bit last minute studying''
''I don't' know brother'' George said sighing and shaking his head
''Know what'' Fred grinned
''I think our Mione has''
''finally lost the'' George said widening his eyes like he was worried allowing Fred to carry on
''Plot'' Fred ended with a smirk ''Why do you need to study, you will pass your exams with no problems, you passed on your Owls and Newts so your going to pass with flying colours on these exams right Fred''
''Right George''
Hermione smiled at the twins antics ''It can't hurt to refresh my mind besides these exams are harder and longer than the Owls and Newts ever where''
''Yeah she's going to be in exams for eleven hours''
''For how many exams'' Fred asked gaping at Harry
''Two, Potions and Transfiguration'' Harry said smirking at the twins
''Well George''
''I agree''
''She has''
''Defiantly
''lost''
''The plot'' they said looking at each other and shaking their heads making everyone at the table laugh. The twins could always cheer you up.
