Disclaimer: I don't own the books, because if I did Harry would not be such a dolt had have realized how in love he is with Hermione already.
A/N: I swore off writing for a long time after I read HBP. But I couldn't resist looking in the challenges forum and saw this... So of course I took it up and here is the first chapter. I don't see this being anything more then 2 chapters. I mean really where can I go with this?
oh and obviously this is unbeta'ed so all mistakes are my own.

Ginny and Hermione were lying on their respective beds in Ginny's room at the Burrow. Harry was to be coming tomorrow and both were anxious to see him. Harry hadn't been far from Hermione's mind this past fortnight. She wanted him here where she could talk to him and reassure him that everything would be fine. If she knew Harry Potter his past two weeks had been spent laying in bed and thinking through every little detail of the Department of Mysteries....
"Hermione?" She was jolted out of her thoughts by the sound of Ginny's voice.
"Uh? Oh… yeah Gin?" she asked.
"Say… Well suppose... That I still liked...."
"Harry?" Hermione asked, not at all surprised by this. Ginny was not at all good at hiding how she felt.
"Well… yes. Say that I did still fancy him.. how do you think I should get him to like me also? I mean your his best friend, probably more so then Ron sometime... though I never said that.." Giny trailed off.
Hermione gave a small smile hoping that her eyes weren't showing her true feelings.
"Well... I don't know if I'm the best person to be getting involved Ginny. I mean, yes I am his best friend but.." Hermione let her voice trail off. She saw out of the corner of her eye Ginny sitting up on her bed and facing her.
"Hermione, please. I really fancy him. I mean it probably not something in his life he needs right now but.. I can't help it." Hermione sat up also and looked Ginny in the eyes.
"What about Dean Ginny? I can't give you advice knowing full well you are dating someone else." Hermione kept her face blank and expressionless but her tone said it all.
"Hermione... you don-"
"What? Like Harry? Merlin, no Ginny. I mean he's my best friend and I love him but not... not the way your thinking." By this time Hermione had made her way from sitting on the bed to standing before the bed and watching the clouds float by.
"I was just checking…" Ginny said in a small voice.
"What about Dean, Ginny?" Hermione repeated.
"Well we're still dating obviously but....."
"If an opportunity arisen with Harry you wouldn't hesitate to take it?" Hermione finished for her.
"Right"
"Ginny....."
Ginny got up and made her way to stand next to Hermione.
"Hermione if you help me with Harry I'll help you with Ron."
Hermione slowly turned to look at Ginny, resigned to the fact that this is what everyone expected. If it could help Harry.....
"Ok Ginny. I'll help you."
