Love at First Sight
It was
three years after Ron, Hermione, and Harry graduated from Hogwarts
that the three reunited. They sent each other a message by owl (like
they did weekly) and decided to meet at the Three Broomsticks on July
31st to celebrate Harry's twentieth birthday. Ron arrived first and
decided to order three butterbeers for him and his friends. He then
sat at a table in the back and waited.
Ron was working for the
Daily Prophet and had his own advice column called, " Weasley,
What should I do!" Hermione was a nurse at St. Mungo's Hospital
for Magical Maladies and Injuries and Harry was a professional
Quidditch player for England.
After a few minutes Hermione
appeared. She saw Ron and walked over to his table. Ron got up and
gave Hermione a hug. Once they sat down, Hermione said, "Oh, Ron!
It is so good to see you! How long has it been since we saw each
other last, two? Three years?"
" Three years, a long
time. How have you been?" Ron said. It has been too long, Ron
thought, too long to not have seen Hermione's beautiful face. Ron
then went back to listening to Hermione, " … Well, I have been
fine. Not doing that much, just at work. Oh yeah, I saw Wood, you
remember Wood right? Well, anyways he crashed his broom and broke his
arm. Well, enough about what I have been doing, what have you been
doing Ron?"
" Not that much. Giving advice in the
Prophet. That's all." Ron said.
"Oh yeah, I saw your
column, it is really good! You should be proud of it!" Hermione
said as she looked at her friend.
"Thanks." Ron said as his
ears turned bright red. Just then Harry appeared and he walked over
to Ron and Hermione. Before Harry sat down, Hermione gave him a hug
and wished him happy birthday. Ron then stood up and shook Harry's
hand. He said, "Happy birthday, mate."
"Thanks man! I
can't believe that I am twenty!" Harry said.
Harry sat down
and said, "Man, Quidditch practice has been tough! I almost
couldn't get time off for today! How have you guys been?"
"
We've been fine," Hermione said answering for both Ron and her,
"Have you seen Ron's advice column?"
"Oh yeah, mate! I
saw it, it is really good. I liked the advice you gave to the WWN,
(Wireless Wizarding Network), announcer that lost his voice!"
Harry said as he took a gulp of the butterbeer Ron had bought
him.
"So, Harry. How has your relationship with Luna Lovegood
been?" Hermione said. After Harry had graduated from Hogwarts,
Luna had kept in touch with Harry because they liked each other, and
after she graduated they decided to date.
"It's been great! We
are going to get married!" As Harry said this Ron choked on his
butterbeer that he had just taken a drink.
"What!" Ron said
after he stopped choking.
"Yeah, we are getting married! I think
it might be on February 26. So how have your relationships been?"
"
I haven't been dating anyone for a couple of years. Well, now that I
think of it, I have never dated anyone!" Ron said with a little
laugh.
"Me either, well, except I have been writing to...,"
Hermione stopped and looked at Ron.
"What?" Ron said.
"Well
you probably don't want me to say his name." Hermione
said.
"Who?" Ron said looking very clue less about what
Hermione was talking about.
"Well," Hermione said in a
whisper, "Krum."
Ron exploded and said, "WHAT! VIKTOR!
YOU HAVE BEEN WRITING TO HIM! WHY HAVE YOU BEEN TALKING TO
HIM!"
Hermione leaned over to Harry and said, "This is
exactly why I didn't want to say his name!"
Harry nodded.
Hermione then said, "Ron, Ron, RON! Calm down! It isn't anything
personal! We just talk to each about our jobs and everything! Please
Ron, CALM DOWN!"
But Ron continued to scream, "NOTHING
PERSONAL! HOW DO I KNOW THAT IS THE TRUTH! DOES HE WANT YOU TO COME
DOWN THAT WAY AND SEE HIM! IF HE DOES I WILL KILL HIM!"
Now
Hermione started to yell, "RONALD WEASLEY! ARE YOU CALLING ME A
LIAR! I HAVE NEVER LIED TO YOU! AND WHY DOES IT BOTHER YOU IF HE
WANTS ME TO COME DOWN AND SEE HIM OR IF I AM IN TOUCH WITH HIM!"
"
YOU HAVE NEVER LIED TO ME? WHAT ABOUT THAT TIME IN SIXTH YEAR WHEN
YOU SAID MY PAPER WAS PERFECT AND I GOT AN 'F' ON IT! WHAT ABOUT
THAT!"
" OH MY GOSH RON! SORRY! I THOUGHT IT LOOKED FINE
BUT IT WASN'T WHAT SNAPE WANTED! SORRY!" Now everyone in the
Three Broomsticks were looking at Ron and Hermione who were both red
in the face and standing up. Harry started to say something but was
cut off by Hermione, "RON YOU NEVER ANSWERED MY QUESTION!"
"OH
YEAH! WHAT'S THAT?"
" WHY YOU HATE ME TALKING TO VIKTOR
KRUM!"
" BECAUSE I LOVE YOU HERMIONE! BECAUSE I DON'T
LIKE SEEING YOU WITH SOMEONE ELSE! BECAUSE I WANT YOU TO BE WITH ME,
NOT SOME STUPID GIT LIKE KRUM!" Ron said.
"What, w-what did
you say Ron?" Hermione said in her normal voice and just
realizing what her friend said.
"I said that I love you
Hermione. And I do! I have every since I met you." Ron said
looking at Hermione.
"Oh my gosh Ron. You love me?"
Hermione said as Ron nodded, " Oh my. Ron?"
"
What?" Ron said.
"I love you, too." Said Hermione, "I
truly do. And I am sorry for every time I got mad at you and every
time we fought. But I love you." As Hermione said this tears
began running down her face.
"That is the same with me
Hermione. I really am sorry about everything." Ron said, "Come
here Hermione."
Hermione went around the table and over to
where Ron stood. Ron put his arm around her waist and brought her
close to him. He then looked into Hermione's eyes and kissed her. Not
a little kiss on the cheek, but on the lips. It last about 30 seconds
but seemed like forever to Ron. He then pulled away and said, "Oh,
I am sorry I got carried away."
"No, Ron. Its fine, I loved
it." Hermione said.
"Well, in that case, Hermione? Will you
be my wife?" Ron said looking at his friend like he never had
before.
"Oh Ron! Of course!" Hermione said as a fresh batch
of tears started running down her face.
Ron then said, "I don't
have a ring but I will get one soon okay?"
"I don't care
if you never have a ring Ronald Weasley. As long as I have you."
Hermione said softly to her new husband-to-be.
Just then Harry
cleared his throat loudly which made both Ron and Hermione jump.
"Oh!
Harry, we are so sorry! Let's just sit back down and celebrate your
birthday! We are so sorry!" Hermione said as she and Ron sat
back down quickly.
"There is only one thing I have to say!"
Harry said with a mad look on his face, "IT TOOK YOU LONG
ENOUGH!"
Author's note: Well this is just what I want to happen… I don't exactly believe in the Harry/Luna ship anymore that much, mainly Harry/Ginny ship now. But this is just an idea! Tell me what you think please!
