A/N: Thank you to everyone reading and reviewing this story. I really appreciate it. Characters are OOC in some aspects or it wouldn't be fanfiction. :) Enjoy. I answered the reviews at the bottom. This is mostly told from Ron's p.o.v. and there will be more p.o.v.'s of Hermione, Blaise, Harry and Draco after Harry and Draco's first kiss which is coming up soon enough.

Warnings: None for this chapter.

If there was ever a reason for a huge monumental freak-out then it would be now. How on earth could Ginny come to the conclusion that the way to fix her relationship was to get married? Ron was seriously considering if Ginny had been dropped on her head when she was a child. However, there was something more important to deal with at this point in time.
Ginny was not following along with his strategy. He secretly wondered if Ginny was conspiring with Snape to destroy all his lovely plans for having Harry scream Draco’s name from the top of the Astronomy tower. His mind was in overdrive as he just stared at his sister with what he hoped was a very confused and surprised look.
What could he do to get Ginny off of this path? If he did nothing, then everything he had been working hard on for all of the last two to three days would blow up faster than Neville blew up a potion. Ron’s mind was in overdrive as he decided talking was the best path out of it to try and understand her motivations and then turn them around on her in some way.
“Gin…” Ron started as if he was approaching a wild animal or something.
“Ron! Come in the library. I need help carrying the two idiots up to the hospital wing.” Blaise said to him interrupting Ron’s talk with Ginny.
Ron frowned a bit and yet felt relieved at the same time. He could kiss Blaise right now and not give a damn what people would say about it. A brief moment from outside flashed in his mind and he bit the inside of his cheek as not to blush. “What happened?” he asked.
The urge to smirk had never been so hard to suppress. Blaise could easily see the relieved look in Ron’s eyes that he could delay this conversation with his sister. “I am not sure. All I saw was a curse aimed at Draco, but before I could do anything Potter, of course, jumped in front of him and now they are both unconscious.”
“No! Why would Harry save Malfoy? It makes no sense.” Ginny said not too happy about this. Harry never concentrated enough on her when he was focused on saving someone or fixated on something.
Blaise finally acknowledged her with a brief glance. “Don’t believe me then see for yourself Weasley. However, Ron, we should probably move them. I told Madam Pince that I was coming out here to get help carrying them up there.” he said shifting his attention back to Ron.
Ron nodded and gave Ginny an apologetic look before going into the library. Sure enough, Harry and Draco were passed out with Harry partially over Draco. Ron smiled inwardly. This wouldn’t have worked better if he had put Harry on top of Draco himself. Actually… Ron’s thoughts mildly trailed off as he used a spell to gather all their materials and put them in their bags. He handed Draco’s bag to Blaise and he took Harry’s bag. Ron was leaning down to pick up his unconscious best friend off of Draco when he heard a groan or was it a scream of frustration. He looked back to see it was Ginny who had made the noise. The youngest Weasley had come into the library to actually see if Blaise had been lying or not.
Ron bit the inside of his lip to keep from smirking at the horrible expression on his sister’s face at seeing Harry on top of Draco. She should just get used to this now and save herself the trouble later on. Ron would prefer not to have to continuously think up strategies to get his sister away from Harry, but if that is what it came down to then he would do it. The easier way to do this would be for her to take their earlier conversation and what she just saw to heart and date someone else. On the other hand, he might have to set her up with someone else in order for his plans to come to fruition.
Turning back towards the unconscious Harry, Ron picked him up and watched as Blaise picked up Draco. He could see where people might think that Blaise and Draco would be a good couple. Blaise and Draco complimented each other beautifully and –
“Wouldn’t you love to know?” he said keeping eye contact as their breath was mingling.
Ron blushed at the thought of what he did earlier and almost dropped Harry. This really wasn’t helping his train of thought at the moment and he knew he had to get up to the hospital wing as soon as possible. It was time to regroup and come up with a new strategy. Perhaps there was some way to use their unconsciousness to his advantage.
The walk up to the hospital contained a few accidental, almost droppings of one Harry Potter, a strange feeling that he was being watched by Blaise, and the idea of asking Fred and George if they had any useful inventions that mimicked mistletoe but didn’t look like one. Who on earth would fall in a mistletoe trap in the middle of September? It was simply not going to happen that way.

Or he could research how those particular traps are made and modify it to work towards his advantage. It would probably take a bit of time to perfect the spell on an object, but if he could make sure it activated around both Harry and Draco, they could get stuck and forced to kiss. Oh yes. It might take a bit of time, but in between that they would be working on their respective projects with their partners, and he could get Draco to possibly notice something about Harry.
His mind wandered to the tripping incident earlier. Harry could be more swayed towards Draco with a few proper words, but Draco was another story. The Slytherin was cunning, rich, pureblood, and based on the slightly lessening fights between the two, more mature than he had been before. The kiss idea would at least get the thoughts of lust following, but dammit they needed to be together longer than a quick romp in the streets.
The spread in the Daily Prophet about their engagement party would be the hottest topic of gossip for ages. He would know the truth, but he could only imagine Harry tempting Draco with some private time so that Draco wouldn’t use unforgivable curses on the entire Wizarding population. After that, Harry would arrive to the party, obviously fashionably late, in green and silver, while holding on to Draco’s arm. Harry would be shy, of course, as he never really liked getting all of that attention and Draco would be sporting the trademark Malfoy smirk letting everyone know he just shagged Harry Potter.
Oh he just couldn’t wait for that!
The hospital wing was empty when they arrived and Madam Pomfrey instructed them to set the two on the beds. A quick diagnostic spell was cast on both of them and showed they had been put to sleep but she couldn’t undo the spell. It was mysterious and she thought it best to go and consult professor Dumbledore through the floo in her office as opposed to leaving the hospital wing in case someone else came in.
“It is a shame that she won’t be able to undo that spell.” Blaise said tapping his wand to the side of his forehead.
Ron looked over at him. They had been allowed to stay with the two in case one of them woke up from the spell on their own. “You cast it? Why?” Ron asked giving the other his full attention.
“Now that is the question isn’t it Weasley?” Blaise asked with a slow smile.
“So you are back to calling me Weasley then, Zabini?” Ron asked him with an eyebrow raised.
Blaise leaned forward a bit with his elbows resting on his legs and his chin in his hands. “I could call you Ron if you would prefer, but you might start blushing again.”

Ron controlled the urge to let his cheeks heat up as much as they wanted to. Why on earth was he affected by Blaise’s presence? Ok. No. He had a pretty good idea why he might be and so he pushed that aside for the moment. “Alright then. Why did you do it?” he asked.
“You first Ron. I already told you what I suspected earlier on.” Blaise said noticing the twitch Ron was holding back not to blush.
Ron looked at him and then glanced at both Harry and Draco’s sleeping forms. “You want to know why these two? I think they would make a fantastic couple, but they need a few strong pushes in the right direction. I debated telling you about this earlier for fear that your loyalties might inform Draco and all my strategies wouldn’t work anymore. However, you just said you hexed them, so why?”
“I figured that might be it. I am not sure I completely see why you would want to put them together, but I can see the amusement to be gained from it. They could be the strongest wizarding couple alive or they’ll kill each other after a week of dating. Two weeks if we managed to stop them from casting the nastiest hexes they can come up with.” Blaise said before he paused to make sure Madam Pomfrey wasn’t in ear shot.
“The reason I hexed them was because this plan intrigues me. I must admit that this year is rather uneventful in Slytherin, with the Dark Lord gone and those who wanted to be Death Eaters unable to return to the school for fear they would try to kill Potter. The fact that someone who is considered to be so good is attempting to do something so bad to the point they tried to make their own sister rethink her relationship is… impressive and very interesting. I am curious as to how far you will go for your goal Weasley and I am offering to help.”
Ron watched Blaise’s eyes and body movements. In chess, you could sometimes tell how a person was going to move their pieces based on the look in their eyes and the shifts in their movement. Blaise was calmer and more relaxed as if all he did was move a simple pawn. It wouldn’t be a bad thing to have an in to the Slytherin mindset considering he wasn’t sure how to get Draco to notice Harry.
“You can help me on a trial basis. I am still not sure I can trust you, Blaise.” Ron said smirking lightly at the slight widening of the other’s eyes. “Oh yes, two can play the name game and you might find that I am quite good at it. Nevertheless, do you have any plans as far as these two go? I have one, but it will take a bit of time.”
Blaise didn’t know if he was more intrigued by the plan or by Ron himself with that first statement, but he chose to focus on the subject at hand. After all, it wouldn’t take Madam Pomfrey much longer and so he had to wake those two up. “We could do a slightly cliché point until your next plan comes to fruition. They don’t know who tried to attack Draco and so we begrudgingly offer to all study together in one of the abandoned classrooms after checking books out in the library. If they are curious, then we just explain that you aren’t sure you could trust a Slytherin and I say that I’m not going to leave Draco alone with two-thirds of the Golden Trio.”
Ron stared and stared and stared at him. “Yes you are definitely right about it being completely cliché, but it would also keep him from spending too much time with Ginny in case she decides she wants to get married again. We will go with that for now until I am able to come up with something in the interim. As a Slytherin, you may have more access to particular things than I do. I need you to find me the list of enchantments on the mistletoe traps people have. I need to modify it for the next part of the plan. Are you able to do that?”
The Slytherin nodded. “Of course, I am sure my mother has done it once or twice in her school years. I will ask her about it. Now… to wake these two up…” Blaise cast a spell that woke both of them up albeit a bit groggy.
“What the hell happened?” Harry asked groaning as he sat up. “Oh! Is Malfoy ok? I think someone was trying to curse him or something.”
Ron could have both cheered and rolled his eyes at that question. Blaise’s plan would probably work better than he thought even if it was just temporary. They probably wouldn't even need to do much for it to work. Blaise caught his look and faintly smirked before focusing on Draco.
“I’m fine Potter. Did you hex me or something?” Draco said rubbing his temples.
Potter glared. “If I wanted to hex you Malfoy, I wouldn’t be in the hospital with you.”
“Depends on if I got off a good shot or not.” Draco answered immediately after. “I swear I am going to strangle whoever did this if it wasn’t you.”
A frown appeared on Potter’s face. “The war is over. People shouldn’t be trying to attack you for no reason. If you had wanted to be a Death Eater, then the mark would still be on your arm and you wouldn’t have been able to return to school.”
Draco sighed. “I suppose that would be true. It is going to be ridiculously hard to work on our project if people keep trying to hex me all the time.”
Blaise chose this moment to speak up. “I have an idea. Why don’t we all just check out what we need and then practice and study in an abandoned classroom? It could be separated to make sure that Potter and Weasley don’t goof off the whole damn time and leave us to do all the work.”
Ron did roll his eyes at this point. “Or we can make sure the damn Slytherins don’t make us fail. I can’t imagine they’d be better than us in Defense, Harry. You kick Malfoy’s butt all the time.”
“Watch it Weasley.” Draco said with a sneer. “Last I remember one of the hexes during a duel with Potter and I ended up with you in the hospital wing. I’m obviously not bad at it, but I do feel bad for Blaise having you as a partner.”
Ron and Draco glared at each other. Draco was wondering how fast he could hex Weasley before Potter jumped in. Ron, on the other hand, was thinking how much Harry would love to stare into Draco’s gray eyes all day. Harry just sighed and closed his eyes trying to remember if he saw anyone who would have had something against Draco. Blaise, however, found himself not liking the way that Ron kept staring into Draco’s eyes like that.
What on earth is going on with me? I couldn't actually like Ron, could I?

staar: Thank you for reviewing! I am glad you like the story. There will be some hiccups and so on, but I shall do my best. :)

delia cerrano: Thank you for reviewing! I wouldn't say Ron is completely oblivious to Blaise lol. He knows Blaise is interested in the plan which he chalks up to Blaise being Slytherin. He doesn't realize Blaise seems to be getting more interested in him. XD

Tommy-Lane: Thank you for reviewing! She will end up scaring Harry away in the next chapter or two. Blaise is fun to right. He is kind of laid back and oh so intrigued by Ron... *coughs* I mean the plan err... both. lol

BAFan: Thank you for reviewing! I don't mind that you said it again. I love that Ron isn't a prat in this story either. Thank you for noting the correction. My beta doesn't always catch them all.
