It's been a month since the final battle, we are all still tired and scared, no one has completely healed but we're on our way.

The burrow is quieter than usual, there hasn't been much laughter since Fred died, and George hasn't cracked any jokes, not even about me and Ron.

After our first kiss during the battle we have been inseparable, and nights like this I'm so happy to have him.

The nightmares of Bellatrix still haunt me but Ron seems to chase them away, if I ever wake up scared he's always there holding me close when I need him.

"Its ok baby, I'm here, your safe" he slowly rocks me whilst kissing my forehead and whispering these kinds words. I wouldn't be alive without him.

"I love you" I whisper into his neck

"I love you too Mione" my heart flies as he leans in to kiss me, since the battle we have shared hundreds of kisses yet every time he manages to take my breath away and I think he always will.

We fit together perfectly, like we were made for each other, our relationship is perfect, everything else isn't, I try not to think about anything whilst I'm with Ron and peacefully fall to sleep with his arms around me.

I'm instantly awake when I hear Ron cry out quietly, it's still late as I see the moon light shining through the window, and I roll over and find him with his face buried in the pillow trying to drown out the sounds of his cries.

"Ron" I stroke the back of his head hoping he will look at me, he doesn't.

"Ron please, what's wrong?"

"What's wrong? Seriously Hermione, I didn't think you were that stupid!" He growls. I'm instantly taken aback, and freeze.

"Shit, Mione I'm so sorry" he says whilst turning to me placing his hand on my cheek.

"I'm so sorry, I just keep thinking about who we lost...Lupin...Tonks...Fred" his voice breaking on the last name, breaking my heart at the same time.

I pull him towards me and cradle his head in the crook of my neck, hoping he finds the same comfort in this as I do when we are in reversed positions.

"Shit now I'm crying like a fucking baby all over you, I'm sorry" as he pulls away I place my hand on his cheek.

"Don't ever be sorry for letting go Ron, you don't have to be strong all the time, especially not in front of me."

The tears are still silently falling down his cheeks and I feel my own eyes start to fill.

"I don't know what I would do without you mione" at this a small smile creeps up on my face, I don't say anything but pull his face towards me and place a gentle kiss on his lips.

"Luckily I will always be here for you." I say whilst smiling as I pull away just enough to look in his eyes.

"Don't ever leave me" he says pulling me into his chest before laying us back down on his bed.

"Never" I say just as we both drop back to sleep.

Despite waking up twice last night, I feel as refreshed as I always do when I sleep with Ron. His arms are still around me so I snuggle closer enjoying these moments and even though he's asleep, Ron still holds me tighter, I sigh, hoping it will always be like this. I don't want to get up but remember tonight is the night we have arranged to have a party, to celebrate the lives of those after a months' worth of mourning and funerals. I'm hoping it will be a night of happiness, sharing memories with our loved ones and not a night of sadness. Unfortunately though, a party means that we will all have a list of chores to do before anyone gets here for molly.

I look up at Ron and see he is still sleeping peacefully, I hate to wake him up but its better me than his mum. Molly accepted the fact that we share a bed after I ended up waking the whole burrow up every night due to me screaming during my nightmares, and the only way I would calm down was if Ron held me. She isn't happy about it though. Her a Ron has a particularly heated argument about it in fact.

"It isn't proper Ron, you can't share a bed until you are married"

"Mum, she needs me, you have seen it and you know what we went through, if Hermione needs my help for anything she gets it. If you can't accept us sharing a bed then we will have to leave and find somewhere else to live" This was a low blow and Ron knew it.

"NO! I will not lose two of more of my children!" It warmed my heart to know that Molly thought of me as one of her own.

"Molly…" I try to talk to her but she turns startled as if she didn't know I was there.

"Hermione, you know this isn't anything to do with what I think of you" I nod as she continues "this isn't right though"

"I know you think this isn't proper Molly but I need Ron…"

"And were not in the Stone Age" Ron adds quietly getting a scowl from both of us.

"He helps me in ways that no one can" I see Ron blush at his and realise how that sounds, starting to blush myself.

"I didn't mean that, it's just…I" I see Molly smile and know she knows that's not what I meant.

"No one else makes me feel safe like Ron, when I was being tortured he was the only thing keeping me sane, when I have these nightmares they seem so real and instead of just me being tortured its Ron too, I can't relax until I feel his arms around me and know that we are both safe. I know that Bellatrix is dead but she still haunts me except when Ron is there to calm me down."

Molly seemed to soften as I spoke and even get tears in her eyes.

"Hermione, I'm so sorry for what happened to you, I know you need him, you kids are just growing up to fast, I don't want to lose you, any of you. You can move into Ron's room with him, we will move Harry's cot out since he's in Bill's old room so you have more space." She hugs both Ron and I before leaving with a few tears leaking from her eyes.

Since that day we have shared Ron's small attic room, squeezing into his single bed every night and holding each other until we fall asleep and wake up the same way in the morning.

I decided to get up and slowly take Ron's arms off me and kiss him on his lips whilst slipping out of bed, he stirs slightly and smiles in his sleep. I do this every morning and he smiles sleepily at me every morning before he's even awake making me love him more and more each morning if that's even possible.

Before I go downstairs I have to get changed, molly would have a heart attack if she knew I slept in her sons bed in just my knickers and a one of Ron's tops. As I bend down taking off my knickers I hear a shuffle from the bed, I ignore it smiling as I put on some fresh knickers before turning round quickly catching Ron sitting up slightly on his elbows staring at where my bum would have been.

"Enjoying the view?" I say flirtatiously whilst walking towards him.

"Mm hmm" he says smiling and moaning as I straddle his hips.

I lean in for a long kiss, it's full of passion and makes me forget anything else. I lean back before we end up doing anything more.

"Good morning" I smile.

"Fucking great morning" he says whilst leaning up to kiss my neck. I would tell him off for swearing but he's know nibbling on my neck softly in a way he knows I can't resist. I feel his erection underneath me, a few weeks ago this would have frightened me but now I'm used to it, it didn't take long for me and Ron to establish a physical relationship since our feelings for each other have been building up for years, he's the only person I would ever feel comfortable in this way around. My body isn't anything special but Ron seems to love it which makes me love it too. My mind is wandering whilst he continues his attack of my neck. I moan out loud and it brings me back to my senses.

"Ron stop, we have to get up" I try to push him away. Instead he rolls us over so I'm trapped underneath him, both of my hands are now trapped above my head with one of his hands holding them there, his other hand buries itself into my hair as Ron's lips crash onto mine. This kiss is more urgent than many of our others, it's full of heat and I'm barely functioning, I can only focus on how good his body feels on mine and how he tastes. He grinds against me slightly causing the most heavenly friction, we both moan into each other. When his lips finally leave mine, I'm hopeless, I can't deny him even though we need to get up before someone comes in.

"God baby I love you so much" he says kissing my neck lightly as he grinds against me again causing my hips to buck upwards.

"Mmm I love you too" I don't care about leaving the bed anymore, I'm loving every second of this sweet torture. His hand finds its way under my top grabbing my boobs and playing with my nipples all the while grinding against my centre.

"Fuck" Ron whispers into my neck causing me to smile. It doesn't take long for my top to be taken off and Ron's lips leave my neck for my breasts, suckling and nibbling me into bliss. I'm so close to exploding, his erection still pressing strongly and grinding against my centre, occasionally hitting the small bundle of nerves. I can tell Ron is close too, his breathing is getting erratic against my chest. He finally peels away my soaked knickers and his boxers. There are no boundaries now, just our bodies pressed together. He rubs himself against me for a few seconds before entering me slowly. Even after a few times of having sex Ron likes to go slow to start after the initial pain I was caused when we first started having sex, he's so sensitive about it that it makes my heart swell. He starts to speed up making us both moan loudly, God I hope the silencing charms are still up from last night, before bed each night I place a charm around the room so no one but me and Ron know about my continuing nightmares. His thrusts are getting harder and stronger, he starts to rub my clit and I finally reach my orgasm. He continues to thrust and rub me throughout and again starts to suckle my nipples, he's trying to kill me, and finally he reaches his climax, continuing to thrust into me so I come undone once more.

"Fuuuuucccckkkkk" I can only moan in response, my body feels like jelly and my thoughts blurred. He lays his body on mine using my breasts as a pillow whilst I run my fingers through his red hair.

After a few minutes I notice how cold it actually is in the room, Ron must have noticed as well as he begins to play with my now erect nipples again.

"Ron, stop" I murmur slightly, still dazed. He doesn't stop obviously, my body is his favourite thing to explore and once he starts he won't stop until I make him. I decide I need to put a top on before we go any further than this, there's no way I will be able to get out of bed if I have another orgasm. I reach to the floor with my unoccupied hand and find a top before slowing lifting up and pulling it over my head, Ron's head still lays on my breast so I have to roll him off me so I can complete my mission of putting on this top.

"Hey! I was comfy" he cries

"Well I was cold" I say as I get comfortable again, once again Ron rolls onto me laying his head on my breasts. It's starting to get late and I know we need to move but I just can't. Before I know it we are both asleep.

"Hermione! Hermione" someone is shaking me. I recognise the voice as Harrys.

"What?"

"You need to get up now!"

"Why, what time is it?" I say as I turn my head and finally open my eyes to see the clock reading 11pm.

"Oh crap, Ron?" Ron is snoring lightly against my chest. I run my hand over his cheek hoping he will wake.

"Ron baby, we have to get up"

"'M comfy" he says whilst shifting his head completely between my breasts causing me to blush as Harry starts laughing.

"Ron you massive ginger idiot get out of bed now!"

"Harry?" Ron's finally starting to wake.

"What the fuck harry get out I'm naked" Ron shouts. I blush even harder, Harry couldn't see that Ron wasn't wearing any clothes or that I had nothing on from the waist down due to the blanket I pulled on us.

Harry just starts laughing and Ron looks down realising for the first time that we are actually covered.

"Get the fuck out" he says grumpily as he lays his head back on my chest.

"I'm not leaving until you actually get out of bed." I hear Ron sigh, and then he lifts his head with a twinkle in his eye when he looks at me. Oh no, what's he going to do.

I suddenly feel his lips on my neck, sucking and nibbling away with all his might, I can't even control the moan that escapes my lips.

"Oh my god I'm leaving right now" Harry practically runs out the room causing Ron to laugh and me to smack him.

"Ow what was that for? I got rid of him didn't I?"

"Ron! Harry just heard me moan! How embarrassing, how can I even face him again?"

"Mione don't worry! I have seen him and Ginny doing worse trust me! I thought it was hot when you moaned" he smirks at me.

"Eugh, get up, we need to go downstairs, we have already missed breakfast your mother will be so angry!"

I push him away and jump out of bed, pulling on some clothes, just as I am about to leave I feel Ron grab my wrist.

"You aren't really mad at me are you?" He says softly. How can I be mad at him?!

"No" I reply softly just before kissing him and leaving his room.
