Ron curiously peered around Hermione, staring at the snacks counter, the ticket booth, and the various movie times.

"Are you sure this is safe?" he whispered into her ear as Hermione bought two tickets for a movie.

Hermione gave him a look. "Ron, it's just a movie. It's not going to kill you." Taking Ron's hand, she lead him inside the theatre.

Darkness enveloped them. Ron squeezed her hand in alarm. Hermione laughed.

"We defeated Voldemort and saved the world, and you're afraid of a Muggle movie? What kind of Gryffindor are you?" She lead him up to two seats in the back, Ron constantly stumbling over the steps.

"But how does it work? It just doesn't make any sense-" His words were cut off when the screen came to life.

"Hermione, it's moving!"

"Yes, Ron. That's how movies are; they're moving pictures. Now eat some popcorn."

They were nearing the climax of the movie now; the guy was running to the airport to stop the girl from leaving him and the country forever; and it was so damn cliche that Hermione almost gagged.

Of course, Ron had never seen something quite like this before, so he was thoroughly enjoying the movie. With his eyes wide and his mouth crunching on popcorn, he was completely sucked in.

Hermione sighed lightly, putting her hand into the bucket to get some popcorn. Her fingers brushed Ron's hand and her skin tingled.

She glanced at him. He had not broken out of his daze at all.

She shook her head, blushing slightly at how silly she could be around him sometimes. After all this time, she still got a little nervous and embarrassed around him, as if they hadn't been through almost everything together, as if they hadn't been in a relationship for three months.

Ron sucked in a breath; Hermione, snapping out of her thoughts, looked at the screen. The guy was trying to get through security, fighting the police officers to reach the girl. Hermione rolled her eyes. However, Ron, who was quite enamoured at this point, stuck his hand out and grasped hers tightly.

Hermione lost herself in the feeling of his large, rough hand enveloping hers. She only came back to the surface when she felt Ron's hand relax a little; a look on the screen confirmed her suspicions of the guy reuniting with the girl.

She smiled softly, turning to glance at him. She preferred their story over a movie cliche any day.

To her surprise, Ron was gazing at her too, his eyes finally torn from the screen. The look in his eyes sent sparks through her spine, and his hand was suddenly on her cheek, and it was warm and gentle-

And now he was too close for her to breathe or think any more. With a quick motion, he closed the distance, his lips meeting hers just as the people in the movie kissed.

Hermione was melting under him, but she did think that this whole moment was entirely too cliche before slipping into complete bliss.
