Hermione and Ginny Filler OotP scene
Hermione sat in the common room very early one morning, unable to sleep, once
again.
Her nights seemed to be getting longer and longer and no
sleep would come to help her while away the long dragging hours.
The truth was, she was worried about Harry. She knew he wasn't doing so great this year, with the rise of
Voldemort and the death of Cedric last July.
She could think of
nothing else but him, where he was, what he was doing, what he was thinking. She had fallen in love with her best
friend.
Oh that's just great. She thought bitterly. I'm not supposed to love Harry like that...we're just
friends. Thats it. End of. Well, it's supposed to be end of...instead all I can do is think about him. And I know
he likes Cho....urgh I knew I didn't like her for some reason. So here I am....in love with someone that likes me
as a FRIEND! I hate that, he doesn't even know how I feel about him. My god he's dense when it comes to women.
But he is incredibly cute when he's confused. With his gorgeous eyes looking all over the place searching for the
answer as though it was written on the wall somewhere, and when he tilts his head to the side a little bit so the right
side of his neck is so inviting, oh man how many times have I wanted to jump him when he's confused...to many to
count that's for sure...he's conf-
"Hermione!" Her name snapped her out of her thoughts just in time, she could have been daydreaming, well
night-dreaming, about Harry for an awfully long time.
She turned
to look at the unexpected arrival.
"Oh, Hi Ginny." She
said a little higher than her usual voice.
"Are you OK?"
Ginny asked
"Uhhh....yeh, I'm
fine."
"You sure?"
Hermione coughed lightly trying to rid her mind of the very nice picture of Harry.
"Yes. So. What are you doing up?" She asked attempting to
change the subject quickly.
"I heard you down here. I thought
I'd come to see if you were OK."
"Oh. I'm
OK."
Ginny smiled as though she knew what Hermione was really
thinking.
"So....Were you thinking about
Harry?"
"What? What makes you think that? Of course I
wasn't. I don't like him, don't be silly."
Ginny
giggled and nodded.
"So you do then."
"No."
"Hermione,
all I said was 'were you thinking about Harry' Ron's worried about him to. That little rant just proves
that you like him aswell as me."
"Oh, Ginny, I forgot
that you like him. I'm sorry," She said looking at her "Not that I do" She added quickly, trying to
cover up her slip.
"No Hermione, I used to like him. I'm
over him now. It was just a Hero worshiping thing anyway. To be honest, he's not all that
great."
Hermione snorted at Ginny's
comment.
"What? He's not THAT great. Well, I'm sure
you think he is." Ginny pressed. She was determined to get Hermione to admit that she liked
him.
"Well, he is my best friend. Of course I think he's
great."
"And you like him"
"As a best friend."
"And the rest."
"There is no 'rest'.
He's my best friend. Nothing more. Nothing less."
"Apart from the fact that you fancy the pants off him." (A/N: Sorry. It's an English thing to
say)
"I do not!" Hermione insisted
"Uh-huh...whatever you say. Everyone can see right through
you."
"What?" Hermione asked quickly. "He
doesn't know does he?!" Fear running through her veins.
"No. I think Harry's the only one that DOESN'T know. He's slightly dense when it comes to matters
of the heart." Ginny assured her.
Hermione let out a sigh of
relief. "Well that's good then."
"So you admit
you like him?" Ginny asked leaning forward.
"OK, OK,
fine. Yes, I like him. Happy now?"
"Yep." Ginny
answered happily. "Very. Now all we have to do is find a way to get you and Harry
together."
"Oh no you don't. I refuse to be set up
with my best friend." Hermione said slumping back into the chair she was occupying, crossing her arms
defiantly.
"Awww...why?"
"Because I know you, and you'll blow the whole thing out of proportion, and
Harry will hate me and never speak to me again. No, I'm sorry, but I'll stick to being friends with him
thanks."
Ginny looked disappointed but nodded anyway.
"Fine. I won't set you up. But I can hint can't
I?"
"No, you can't hint
either."
"Fine!" Ginny answered looking dejected.
"No setting up, no hinting. Fine."
"Good."

And there you go...that's it.
