Summary: Harry's smart, Hermione likes Quidditch, Dumbledore makes sense, Malfoy is nice and Ginny is just being weird. What is going on at Hogwarts? Ron's PoV.

It was early on the fateful Saturday, I awoke. The sunlight hurt my eyes and made me realize how very happy and hungry I was. I loved Saturdays, I could sleep till noon and Hermione couldn’t yell at me. The whole world seemed to be happy on Saturdays, or it could be that Hermione was too busy reading to tell Harry and I not to play Quidditch. That was probably it, and always was.

I got dressed and headed down stairs; I noticed it was only nine. I thought that was odd, but didn’t dwell on it. I continued walking to see Harry, awake on the couch reading. I knew for a fact that Harry, never ever in a million years, woke up earlier then noon on Saturdays. I half expected to see Hermione sitting in an arm chair reading also, but she wasn’t there or anywhere to be found.

“Harry, Morning!” I shouted, he turned and looked at me.

“Morning Ron!” he said, seeming happier.

“Where’s Hermione?” I asked, sitting in an arm chair. Harry knew everything and anything about Hermione.

“She’s still sleeping. You should know that she never wakes earlier then noon on Saturdays.” Said Harry, I looked at him.

“Now, that’s you. She wakes up at seven every day.” I said, Harry looked at me strange.

“Well, why don’t we get some food?” asked Harry, I nodded and fallowed him as we left. We walked down the hallway, Harry reading the whole time. We walked in and sat at our table.

“Hello Ginny,” I said, hoping she hadn’t changed. She didn’t seem to notice us, at all. She was staring at the Slyterin table. I fallowed her gaze to see Draco Malfoy! I hopped she was reading too, and was thinking about something. I grabbed food and began to stuff my face. I was to busy eating to notice Malfoy walk over and sit at our table.

“Hey guys,” said Malfoy, I wasn’t really sure why he was being nice.

“Hello Draco” said Harry still reading. He was beginning to scare me. I looked up from my food, when Harry used Malfoy’s first name.

“So what are you guys planning on doing today?” asked Malfoy, I looked at Malfoy, I was way past the point of being confused.

“I don’t know, Ron did we have any plans?” asked Harry, I thought I was going to die. Harry was actually thinking about hanging out with Malfoy.

“I thought we were going to play Quidditch like always.” I said, Harry and the rest of the table laughed.

“Harry, play Quidditch? That hilarious Ron, you keeping getting funnier and funnier every day.” Said Seamus “We all know Harry can’t fly a broom to save his life, let alone play Quidditch. That was a good one.” I must’ve looked like a fish, I kept opening and closing my mouth, at the thought Harry couldn’t play Quidditch.

“Ron, you always play Quidditch with Hermione on Saturday.” Said Ginny, coming out of her dreamy trance for the first time that day. I laughed, I knew for a fact that Hermione couldn’t play and she never would. Just then Hermione walked in. I knew that something was wrong. Her hair was straight, and she didn’t have a book with her. She walked over to the table and sat down on the other side of Draco across from Harry and I.

“Morning,” she said happily, and then I realized that she reminded me of my sister.

“Morning Hermione,” said Harry and Draco, I just stayed quiet. Hermione laughed, as she buttered some toast.

“Reading again Harry?” she asked, but it was more like a statement then a question.

“Always, I have to stay at the top of our class.” Said Harry, my mouth dropped. Hermione was not the smartest.

“Speaking of that, you’re still going to help me with my home work, right?” asked Hermione, looking more like and acting like a girl then I had ever seen her in my life, besides the Yule Ball.

“Why wouldn’t I help my girlfriend?” asked Harry, Hermione laughed and blushed. I knew something was wrong. Harry smarter then Hermione and they were dating, Draco our friend, Ginny…seeming weirder, then normal (It reminded me of when she had a crush on Harry). I decided to go see the Headmaster to suggest that You-Know-Who put a spell on my Friends.

I walked down the hallway to the door to Dumbledore’s office, while everyone else walked out side. No one noticed I had left, it was because no one was paying attention to me. “Come in,” I heard the voice of Dumbledore say. I opened the door and walked in, making sure to close it behind me. “Ah, hello Mister Weasley, How has your day been?” Asked Dumbledore as he wrote on a sheet of paper. The only sound was the quill against the paper.

“Fine, it’s just my friends are acting weird.” I said, he nodded and I began telling the story of my day, from when I woke up to where I was now, in his office. “And now I think You-Know-Who, made them backwards for part of his plot to destroy the world and Harry.” I finished and smiled. Dumbledore just shook his head.

“Mister Weasley, does it make sense for Voldermort,” he said, and paused to let me shudder “To make Harry smarter and happy.” I looked at Dumbledore, he actually made sense, for once. He wasn’t using riddles to solve my problems.

“No it doesn’t.” I said in defeat.

“Good, now that, that is all cleared up go outside.” Said Dumbledore, I nodded and left. I walked outside and saw Harry, Hermione, Malfoy and Ginny all sitting around talking. It was one of the weirdest sights I had ever witnessed.

“Ron!” shouted Hermione, and she waved me over to join them. I walked over and sat in the grass. “Good now that you’re here, you, I, Draco and Susan Bones can finally finish that Quidditch match from last week.” I looked over at Ginny who was talking with Malfoy, then to Harry who was reading and holding Hermione’s hand. I began talking to Harry when Hermione shouted “Like OMG it’s a frog!” We all turned and looked at the frog.

“Yes, Hermione it is a frog.” Said Harry patting Hermione’s shoulder. It was all too much.

“What’s going on!?” I shouted, everyone looked at me, I was standing.

“Ron I don’t know what you mean.” Said Ginny, this just made me more mad.

“You’re all acting strange! Hermione being dumb, Harry reading a book for fun, Malfoy being nice, and I don’t know what’s wrong with you Ginny.” I shouted, Hermione’s smile seemed to grow. “Harry can’t be smart! It’s just wrong, and Hermione you’re not supposed to like Quidditch.” Soon everyone was laughing, hard. Hermione seemed to be close to tears. “I don’t see how this is funny.” Hermione took a deep breath.

“Ron sit, we’ll tell why it’s so funny.” Said Harry, I sat back down. “Do you remember what today is?”

Of course I did, that was a silly question to ask. “It’s Saturday, the seventh of May.” I said, Harry nodded.

“In the muggle world, the seventh of May, is Opposite Day.” Said Hermione, logically. She sounded normal, I noticed that Harry had put the book down and Malfoy smirked for the first time that day. I was still confused.

“What’s Opposite Day?” I asked, not knowing of the custom.

“It’s a day where one does the opposite of what the normally do.” Said Hermione, that one sentence made everything clear.

“So that explains why Harry was smart, you were acting like Ginny, Malfoy was nice and Ginny also seemed nicer and shyer.” I said, but it still didn’t answer one question. “How does Opposite Day make you two date?”

“Well, we were dating in secret and the opposite would be that everyone knew.” Said Harry, well that was something I didn’t expect.

“Why didn’t you tell me?” I asked.

“About the dating or Opposite Day?” asked Harry.

“Both” I said, Hermione nodded.

“We wanted to pull a prank on you, so we couldn’t tell you or it would ruin it.” Said Hermione

“Why?” I asked

“Because, you pulled a prank on me about Harry dying in a Quidditch accident.” Said Hermione before continuing “And we didn’t tell we were dating till we thought it was the right time. Know that we told you I can turn my hair back to normal” She waved her wand and her hair slowly became bushy once more.

“Well, this is one of the weirdest days of my life, it explains everyone’s behavior. But how did Malfoy agree?” I asked, I thought it was a good prank they pulled getting allot of people in on it. I was even okay with Harry and Hermione dating.

“People do crazy things while their in love.” Said Malfoy, I soon noticed that he was sitting next to Ginny and holding her hand.

“Get your fifthly hands off my sister!” I shouted, Malfoy kissed Ginny’s cheek before running away. Harry, Hermione and Ginny just watched as I chased him, till I could chase him no more. By the end of the day I had learned to be okay with their dating. He had so pretty good reasons for why he should date Ginny. I would still hate him and Opposite Day, no matter what for the rest of my life.

The End

that was good and I don't generally like Draco/ginny fics unless it includes bashing and Ginny dying but i genuinely liked it.

haha hilarious! Its nice to read a fic from Ron's POV from time to time Good Job!!

And Im sure will hate Ginny for the rest of her life.

Very strange...Hermione saying "LIke..OMG" I just can't picture it. Lol. I really liked it. It was cute. Nice job.

Not bad at all!
