A/N: Hey y'all. This is just weird. Its kind of the beginning of a weird series it might become. A bunch of one shots set in the same year and storyline where they're all trying to get Ron and Hermione together. Anyways, Review.
"Ron, you know that's Mione's desk, right?" Ron gave Harry an exasperated look.
"Yes, mate, I know it's her desk. But I'm tired. She can sit somewhere else today." Hermione walked in, exhausted. She had been running errands for teachers all morning, and didn't want to be bothered by Ron right now.
"Ron, that's my desk."
"Yeah, well now its my desk. Mione, come on, I'm already sitting here. Running all over the bloody castle is tiring, all right?" He looked at her, and she remembered he'd been up all night taking care of Harry. But she'd been up all night taking care of Ginny. So shouldn't I get my desk? Hm. But he does look comfortable...
"That may be, Ron, but it's still my desk. I happen to like it." He looked up at her, as though he didn't really care. She sighed. "Don't make me sit on you, Ron. I'm tired, and this bag is heavy." He grinned at her.
"So sit down."
I don't know if I actually want her to, or if I've gotten tired of fighting about it and just don't care
UH oh... why do they challenge each other like this? They must know what they're doing. Now she's either going to sit on him, or get very very angry. Nothing good ever comes of these...
He obviously thinks I'm not going to. I shouldn't...but I'm so tired. And he stole my chair!
"Fine." She sat. On him.
Wow. She actually sat. Oh my God, shes sitting on me.
Whoa. Lets see what they do. This is very very interesting...
Oh, God, what possesed me to do that?
Our three friends thoughts were interrupted by the not so dulcet tones of one Lavender Brown.
"Well its about time! I mean its not like I'm bitter about what happened between Ronald and I-
"Ronald and ME, Ronald and ME." Hermione muttered under her breath.
"What was that?"
"Oh, nothing, Lavender...just your grammar." She added through clenched teeth.
"Right, well as I was saying, I'm not bitter," At this, Lavender broke off and smiled smugly. "I've always thought the two of you should get together. I mean you're just so perfect!..."
At this point, everyone in the vicinity tuned her out, and if anyone noticed that Hermione's cheeks were slightly pinker than usual, or Ron's ears were a darker tinge of red than normal, they didn't say anything.
Hah. This is working out perfectly. I never knew those two were able to flirt! This is hilarious. God, if only Lav would shut up...Oh my God. Shes not that stupid, she's trying to SABOTAGE us. And them. And ME! Right, well I'll fix her...
"Hello, class." Professor Sinistra had walked in unnoticed. "Ms. Brown, if you would kindly take your seat, we can begin our class." She gave Hermione and Ron an odd look, but said nothing.
What? She didn't say anything... I don't think shes too happy with us, though. Maybe I should move...But she didn't say anything.. Maybe I should stay. That's right, of course you want to stay. Oh shut up. Oh, so you would want to move, then? Fine, fine, I want to stay. Happy now?
"Bloody nuisance" he muttered under his breath.
"What was that?"
"Oh, the voice in my head."
"Riiight."
Damn Lavender. Damn her. Shes so annoying! Maybe I should move...but when will I ever get to do this again? I mean its not like she likes me back...
Why didn't she say anything? Maybe she's getting sick. Maybe she needs to see Madam Pomfrey. Maybe I need to see Madam Pomfrey. I think theres something wrong with my heartrate at the moment...
Hah. Those two look so confused... I wonder if Professor Sinistra knows something...
Is he playing with my hair? Oh my God, he's playing with my hair. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! Okay, I'm done now. What kind of twisted alternate reality is this? A good one, obviously. Or bad, because its alternate. Yes, that would make it bad, actually. Aww. Its an alternate reality. Well that explains why this is happening. Reality sucks. I agree.
"Today, we'll be starting with something a little different... As you all know, you-know-who is back. Dumbledore has advised us all to become unified. The best way I can think of to do this, is beginning in class. So, today we are going to start with a getting to know you exercise,--"
"Well it looks like some of the Gryffies know each other a little too well" Marrietta interjected loudly from the back of the room. Professor Sinistra gave her a quelling look, and Hermione just rolled her eyes. Professor Sinistra continued as though she hadnt been interrupted.
"and then we'll be doing something different in class today that I learned from—well, we'll get to that when we get to it. For now—, Yes, Minnie, can I help you with something?"
"Lorelei! I was just wondering if I could—" Professor McGonagall stopped, seeing Ron and Hermione in a...er... compromising situation. Well this wont do! Not so soon. Lorelei wont be getting the best of me, especially not about those two!
"Ms. Granger, Mr. Weasley, do kindly get on with whatever it is you two are supposed to be doing. Honestly, just like Lily and James." She added under her breath.
They both blushed very very red and Marietta smirked.
Oh that does it. She thinks she can sabotage me, hmm? Well those galleons are MINE. I'll show her. "What did you need, Minnie?" Professor Sinistra asked sweetly.
"I wanted to borrow your copy of The Moons Many Faces."
Hmm...lycanthropy? But why does Professor McGonagall, the Transfiguration teacher, need abook on lycanthropy for? Werewolves don't transform willingly...It must be for the Order.
Professor Sinistra summoned the book and gave it to Professor McGonagall.
"Here you are, then. Anything else?" Lorelei noted with glee that Hermione and Ron were still seated together, and talking to Harry about something.
"No, this will do, Lorelei. Thank you." Minerva started for the door, then turned. "Ms. Granger!" Then she left.
"Right, sorry Professor."
Hermione and Ron blushed. Normally this sort of thing would be found hilarious, but every student was saving it up to be retold to their friends later in their common rooms. This was going to affect the betting pools hugely.
Well, that's over then. Best get up so she can sit down. Ron sighed.
Awww. Hey wait, whats he doing? His hands are on my waist...oh my God. Is it sooo sad that he has nice hands? Cause he has nice hands. And arms. Hello? Are youf eeling all right? Right. Definitely need to pay a visit to Madam Pomfrey. Maybe those men in white left you pills again...Oh, shut up. But I do need to go see her. Okay, this is weird. Ag I'm heavy. He probably thinks I'm fat now. Okay, this summer, I am going to run, I really am. Aw. Alternate reality over. Ah well. It was nice while it lasted...
Ron sighed. "Well it was nice while it lasted." He said under his breath, going to sit next to Harry.
"Nice one, mate. Very smooth." Harry grinned at him. Ron blushed.
"Oh shut up. You're dating my little sister, and don't forget it." Harry laughed and rolled his eyes.
"Yeah, that one stopped working a long time ago, mate."
Lorelei glared at the closed door for a moment before resuming a businesslike tone. "Alright class, lets get started."
Meanwhile, Minerva went back to her office to write a letter...

All right. Desperate times call for desperate measures. Lorelei has them in class right now. As we are all aware, the individuals in question are usually very careful to avoid physical contact of any kind. However, upon entering Lorelei's classroom this afternoon, I was shocked to see her sitting in her usual desk, but on him! Any further sabotage would be welcome, as you all know I have a bit of a personal attatchment to these two. Have at it.

In the Defense Classroom, Tonks was preparing for her lesson when a letter arrived. Reading it, she laughed aloud. Glancing at the clock, the pink haired witch rushed out of the room, heading towards the Astronomy classroom.
"All right now class, as you can see the room is divided into three parts. I will be—yes, Nymphadora, what can I do for you?" Professor Sinistra found herself wondering how Minerva had sent an owl so quickly.
"Oh, I lost my earring the other day, and I thought I might've left it in here when we had tea. D'you mind if I look around?" Brilliant.
"Oh, no, go right ahead."
"Right, I was on this couch when I was here..." She went over to a desk about 3 desks away from Hermione and bent down.
Hmmm... Getting to know each other...right. better not stick around.
"Found it! Thanks Pr-Lorelei." The younger woman smiled at Professor Sinistra and left.
"Not a problem, Tonks." The older woman had a bit of a soft spot for the young energetic auror."All right now, class. Everyone born in the months of January, April, July, and October come over to the first section. You're my Team 1. Team 2: Those born in February, May, August, and November. Team 3: Those born in March, June, September, and December. Now the goal here is to promote unity, so I want you to find someone you don't know (preferably not from your house) and find out something about them. Go to it, you have 8 minutes."
Somehow, they managed to find desks and sit. Professor Sinistra came by in a moment.
"Group 3, you have no Ravenclaws!" Professor Sinistra exclaimed.
"Yes, quite a few of us are sick today, Professor." Marietta told her.
"Ah well, match up amongst yourselves, then." She said, and bustled off.
Team 3 matched up so quickly, it would've been impossible for Ron to end up with anyone but Hermione as a partner.
"Right then. Something we don't know about each other..." He laughed. "This will be challenging." Hermione smiled. "You go first." She told him, grinning.

Everyone-
They were sitting in their usual spots, but L is doing some kind of bonding exercise on grounds of school unity. Anyone else care to try their luck? Be careful, L might suspect something.
-Tonks
"Alright, umm. The reason I hate spiders is—"
"I know, Ron. Fred." Ron laughed.
"Yeah, I forgot you knew that one. Hm... Okay. My dad got me to watch a muggle movie once, and now I have a sort of collection of muggle musicals on tape." He laughed. Hermione looked shocked.
"Really? Whats your favorite?" She asked him, amazed.
"Um.. I actually like The Sound Of Music." He told her, looking slightly embarrassed. She grinned.
"Me too!" They laughed.
"Okay, but that doesn't count, you have to tell me something else I didn't know about you." He told her. She laughed.
"Okay. When I was in Primary School, I was always reading, and one day a girl decided she wanted to steal my book, because I did better on the spelling test than she did. Well, the next day she wasn't in school, but I hear she was very very sick." Hermione looked at Ron, but he was laughing too hard to say anything.
"That is so like you, Mione."
"Er, thanks."
"All right class, time to start. We're going to be playing Jeopardy! It's a muggle television gameshow. Would everyone who has seen it please raise their hands?" Up went Hermione's hand as well as Harry's, Dean's and a few others. Just then, The door opened yet AGAIN, and in came Charlie Weasley.
"Yes Charlie? What can I do for you?" Professor Sinistra asked, barely containing her glee. They were all wondering what had happened.
"Hello Lorelei. I was just wondering if you still had my Quidditch strategy book..." He trailed off.
"Oh, of course, I wont be a moment." She vanished into her office. Charlie nodded a greeting at the trio. "Here you are, Charlie."
"Thanks, Lorelei."
"No problem, Charlie." He left, and Professor Sinistra began explaining the theory of Jeopardy to the class.

People- we have no need to get worked up. They seemed perfectly normal. All we need to do it make sure nothing happens between now and you-know-what. Keep me informed.
-Charlie
Seamus-
I hope your plan works, cause we don't have all that much time. And did you say you have SLYTHERINS betting! What do they have their money on? Just out of curiosity.
See ya,
Charlie
After about 20 minutes of attempting to explain Jeopardy to the class, Professor Sinistra gave up and decided to just hold the lesson as usual.
"Right, everyone open your texts to page 32. We'll pick up with Jupiter in the next lesson. Read the chapter tonight. Class dismissed."
"Wow, easy lesson, yeah?" Seamus commented to Dean, who nodded.
"Yeah, one of the easiest yet, but pretty interesting, what with Ron and Hermione." He looked around carefully, then dropped 3 sickles into Seamus's hand. "You know which." He told him, walking away. Seamus grinned and pocketed the coins.
This was proving to be a very eventful day indeed.
A/N: Alright, so let me know what ya thought.
Love & Chocolate,
