Hermione grabbed both Ron's and Harry's hands and pulled them to the center of the Great Hall, where McGonagall and Kingsley were standing. They were both beaming at the three students and her heavy heart lifted just a little.

The thin lipped professor spoke first, "You three have done a splendid job this past year. We are really proud of you. Me personally seeing you grow up, this is just brilliant."

"Indeed," chimed in Kinsley's deep voice. "It's a shame not all of our love ones were able to make it to see this moment." He glanced at Ron. "Just be glad that most of our loves are here today."

The moment he uttered the word 'love' Ron and Hermione both simultaneously turned towards each other. Ron put his arms around her waist pulling her close, and Hermione hugged hers around his neck. They both hungrily leaned forward, and the Great Hall seemed as if it were going to explode into fireworks as their lips met.

This of course was not their first kiss. It was in fact, their second kiss. It was however, their first kiss witnessed by people other than Harry.

Despite their situation all the Weasley's had a smile on their faces. Their fellow classmates all rolled their eyes good-heartedly and whispered some version of 'finally.'

With a jolt they realized that their friends and family had been waiting for this just as long as they have.

They pulled apart hair mussed and lips swollen. They turned back towards the two smiling adults, ignoring the cheeky grin coming from Harry both thinking to themselves, 'That was well worth the wait.'
