Harry hated feelings. Particularly his feelings, but he wasn't picky. He especially hated when Hermione made him talk about them.
"Harry, I think we need to talk." Hermione had said.

Then and there, he knew his life was over. He may as well move to America. Or New Zealand. Even Africa!

But, because she was his best friend, he had agreed. And that's why he was here.

"Do you like him?" She asked.

Harry ran a hand through his hair and took a loooong sip of his butterbeer. He was stalling, and he didn't mind admitting it.

"I don't want to." He finally said.

She sighed and laid her hand across his. "But do you?"

He nodded and swallowed the lump in his throat. "I do."

She nodded. "I thought so."

Hqrry seemed to slump. "I tried, 'Mione. I tried so hard not to. I'm sorry."

She shook her head quickly, frizzy curls bouncing. "Don't be, you can't help who you are."

"But, aren't you mad?" He asked.

She shook her head, and laughed. "Oh Honey, I can't believe I haven't told you!"

Harry sighed. "Just tell me, please."

"I'm dating Gin."

Harry choked, and Hermione hurried to thump his back. "Well, that's great, 'Mione!"

Hermione smiled bashfully. "Oh, thank you. Anyway, Gin and I've been trying to get you and Ron together for nearly a month—"

"Ron's straight, Hermione."

"No he's not, he is a bisexual. You know what that is?"

Harry rolled his eyes. "Yes, Hermione. Look, I really need to get going—"

"Promise me you'll meet me at The Toad next Saturday."

He gave her a questioning look. "Why? Isn't that place really fancy? Going as friends isn't something we can do, there."

Hermione smiled. Harry was such an idiot, sometimes. "I have my ways. Be there?"

Harry nodded.

Little did he know, Ginny was having this exact conversation with Ron miles away.

The Toad, Saturday
"Oh, hey Mate." Ron smiled, as Harry sat. "What are you doing here?"

"Hermione said she'd be meeting me here. What about you?"

"Ginny's meeting me here. Should be here soon. Want to see if we can all sit together?"

"Ron?" Harry said quietly.

Ron nodded. "What?"

"I think they've set us up." He paused, as Ron looked more confused. "On a date. Hermione seems to have the idea we love each—mmfh!"

Ron had leaned across the table and kissed Harry.

"Sorry, just felt right." Ron flushed.

Harry smiled, flushing as well. "No worries, it was right."
