Hermione saw Ron sitting in the corridor, alone, his head on his hands. They haven't actually spoke since the war was over. Hermione had let him be with his family because they had to be there for each other now. They lost Fred, everybody did.
Hermione noticed a tear running down her cheek. She was crying again. All the time was she thinking about who had to die that the rest of them could be finally happy. Tonks, Remus, Fred, Sirius... and all the other she didn't even knew.
She walked to Ron in silence, she didn't want to scare him. But before she even was close to him, he looked up and even smiled a bit.
"Hey." His voice was weak and Hermione saw the hints of tears on his cheek.
She sat next to him and didn't really know how to behave. After the kiss they haven't had the time to talk about it. Were they together? All the questions in Hermione's head were driving her mad, she just wanted to know.
"Are you feeling better?" She could see that he hadn't even washed his face.
Ron didn't answer and Hermione didn't want to disturb him.
"I'll just go..."
"No, no..." He graped her hand and looked at her.
"Please, don't leave me." His voice cracked and she couldn't leave him.
She hugged him and stroked his ginger hair. She had always loved his hair, it was like a lion's, wild and red. She noticed that he had started crying again. Ron could be vulnerable, be he hadn't showed it to anybody yet. She was touched that she had open up to her.
"Sshhh... everything will be okay. I am here." Ron wiped off his tears and looked with his wet eyes directly into hers. She had the feeling she looked right into his soul.
"I need you." He leaned forward to her and pressed his lips gently on hers. It wasn't such an explosive kiss as their first one. This time it was full of love.
"And I love you." Ron starred at her. Even Hermione was shocked. What did she just say? But she also knew it was the truth.
"I love you..." She murmured and Ron kissed her again. This time it was more intense and she started crying again. Ron abruptly stopped.
"Did I do something wrong?"
"No, no... I... We are so happy and all the people lost their lives..." The tears were rolling down her cheek and Ron took her in his arms.
It seemed like hours they were sitting there. People passed by, dead bodies were carried around... Hermione didn't want to leave Ron's arms, she didn't want to go back out there.
They didn't need to talk. They hold each other, kissed and just enjoyed their time together. They forgot everything around them.
I hope you enjoyed the little fluff and maybe this won't be my last one-shot/fanfiction on them, R&R!
