Chapter 6: In Which Ginny Writes a List

The Top Ten Reasons Harry and Hermione Need to Get Together
By Ginny Weasley, with useless comments by Ron Weasley

've been best friends since first year, and you just can't go that long without falling in love with someone. Wait, if they have to fall in love with each other because they're best friends, what about me? I'm best friends with them, too! You already "fell" for Hermione, remember Ron? You were just smart enough to back off after sixth year, because you knew she was better suited for Harry. Oh, right. Wow. I'm such a great person!

and Hermione...it just sounds good. What, and Ron and Hermione doesn't?! Ron...we're trying to get them together. Oh...right. Heh. Sorry. Just this pride thing, you know? Believe me, I know...I pity Luna. Yeah, so do— wait a second, what are you talking about? What does Luna have to do with this? ...I really pity her.

3. Same initials, of course. How many people do you know like that? AND they could name their children H names, give them J middle names, and it'd be a family of "HJP." But Hermione's last name is Granger...that doesn't start with a P. Am I the only intelligent one left in our family?

4. I would get to be the Maid of Honor! I don't have any other really close female friends, except Luna...but I'd find a way to be the Maid of Honor in my brother's wedding, no matter who he married. I don't know...Luna might want someone else to...wait a second! STOP BRINGING LUNA INTO THIS, GINNY!

I ever mention how much I adore planning weddings? I do. With all of my heart. It'd be so much fun. Okay, don't you think that you're getting a little ahead of yourself? I mean, how do you know that they'll end up married? Please. I know these things.

6. Harry clearly cares about her more than anyone else in the world. Neville told everyone about how Harry reacted to Hermione's "almost death" back in fifth year. When that brain suffocated Ron ten minutes later, he could have cared less. That's right! He cares more about her than he could ever care about any of us...how's that a good thing again? Well, it's not a good thing for you, but for those two it is. And for the money I'm going to make, I suppose it's great for me...

7. They'd have the perfect children. Well, minus the hair. Unless they got Harry's mum's hair. Anyway, they'd have Harry's eyes, Hermione's brains, Harry's courage, Hermione's loyalty, Harry's keenness for adventure, Hermione's sensibility, both their wit... Honestly. Perfect children. Can we please take this off the list? I really don't enjoy the image of Harry and Hermione doing... Doing what? The stuff... Sex? GINNY! No! They'll never have sex. Just like our parents. I hate to break this to you, but... I'M NOT READING!

look good together. I mean alone, they're kind of...not so pretty, but together, they make a rather nice couple. Like McGonagall and Flitwick? ...No, that's not the same at all. Where did you come up with the ludicrous idea that those two were dating, anyway? Luna. Ron, I know you love her/are obsessed with her, but honestly, you listened to her? She had a convincing argument... Oh please, do tell of this "convincing argument." ...She said she saw them underneath a circle of empritents, which signifies that two people are dating. Yeah, that's convincing.

9.I want them together. I get what I want, and if I don't get this, I can assure you, I'll be really upset. Isn't that a bit selfish of you? Ron, I will split the fifty galleons with you. How does that sound? I always thought that selfishness was your best quality...

're already in love with one another, so it's pointless for them to keep up this pretense.

"What the hell do you think you're doing?" Ron moaned, turning over in his bed. He had been awoken by... Well, he wasn't exactly sure what it was that had awoken him. He just knew that he was up, and that his body was telling him that it was much too early to be awake, especially on the first day of the winter holiday.
