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.
