Chapter One
"Congratulations graduates! Here's to wonderful things in your future!"
I looked around the room at all the families and friends that were toasting to the end of Mr. Weasley's speech, and smiled. I promiscuously squeezed Ron's hand and he gave me a quick wink that set my heart beating.
"Well, I'm guessin' now it's my turn," said a large, half giant from behind the room. He came to the front and wrapped his large arms around Harry, Ron, and I. "I met these three-well, actually I met Harry first, but that's not the point-I met these three misfits in the beginnin', and look to what they are now. We couldn't be more proud of all of you!"
I looked up and saw tears were streaming down this sensitive man's face, and I smiled. I gave him a large huge, burying my face in his stomach (which was the highest point I could reach). Harry and Ron followed suit, making it a giant group hug that made everyone in the room say, in unison, "Aww…"
Five more toasts were made by Mrs. Weasley, my own mother, Fred and George (which was quite uninspiring, I must say), Professor Lupin, and even Professor McGonagall, who came from a few minutes before wishing us luck and the standard, "I know I'll be seeing you around," phrase.
I looked around at the nearly fifty people snuggled around in the Weasley's home, and smiled. We had all grown up so much, but especially Ron…he had confessed his love for me just six months ago, and we've kept it very secret because of the raging war. But now that the war was finally over, I wondered where that put our relationship.
When I looked up again from my thoughts, Harry was with Ginny and Fred and George, playing a strange game in the corner. My parents were talking to Mr. and Mrs. Weasley, and all the Order was conversing amongst themselves, finally able to enjoy some relaxation. I looked up and Ron was looking at me. "Somewhere private?" he mouthed to me silently. I nodded, took his hand and led him outside, unnoticed.
"Where are we going-"
I beckoned to my parents' tiny gray car, and Ron let out an, "Ahh, right."
I laughed, and threw back the door of the backseat. I climbed in, and watched Ron climb in behind me. As soon as he shut the door, his lips were on mine.
He kissed me gently, like he always did, going slowly to know he had my permission to continue. I eagerly kissed him back, and he deepened our kiss. I loved the very taste of him, and I wanted more.
He leaned into me, causing my body to become vertical and him on his knee, hunched over me. He began to kiss my neck, my collarbone, my chest…I softly moaned in a reply that he could continue. He never missed a beat as his hand reached into my shirt and caressed my back and chest as he continued to kiss me. He reached my lower half and, as much as I wanted him to continue, I knew we shouldn't.
He seemed to be able to tell this as I looked at him, and came back to my lips instead. He slowly raised my shirt over my head and ran his hands up and down my body. I moaned again in pleasure and set myself against him. I kissed both cheeks, then neck, as my hand slowly massaged his groin. He began to sigh, and whisper, "Oh more…"
He helped me with the button of his trousers, and then his boxers. I continued to kiss his neck as he pulled up my skirt and removed my undergarments. As he kissed each breast I lifted his shirt from his chest, and slammed my body back into his. He ran his hands up and down my hips, and somehow found it in his voice to whisper, "Are you positive about this Hermione? We don't have to do this right now if you don't-"
I nodded, meaning it more then anything I had ever said. He laid me down gently, and I gasped suddenly. I closed my eyes and let the feeling overtake me.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hermione had me the most wound up I'd ever been since the first time we'd made love a month previously. I hadn't expected this, at all…but then again, I never really did. I went gently as first, and she screamed for me to, "Go harder! Go harder!" I gave her every ounce of me that I had, so much that I wasn't sure if I was even intact anymore. When we had finally finished, I don't think I'd ever felt as exhausted as I did at that moment with her, completely bare, fitting perfectly against my warm body. Her body was soaked with sweat and she was trembling harder then I'd ever seen her, but she looked up at me and smiled, saying, "I love you."
I kissed her forehead softly and said, "I love you too."
I'm not sure how long we laid like that, completely and totally in sync, but it was apparently too long because when I looked up, I saw Harry and Ginny exiting my house from the front entrance, and would surely pass the car in a matter of seconds.
"Hermione, Hermione!" I said suddenly, causing her to jump, "Hurry up, Harry and Ginny are coming!"
Her eyes became wide as she began to frantically through clothes back over her body. I handed her shirt to her as she pulled her underwear and pants back up and tossed me my boxers. We were so desperate to keep our love, and love making, such a secret, that we were practically shaking to become clothed again. But horrid and tread filled me when I looked up briefly into the car windows, and saw Harry Potter and my sister staring at us from the outside.
Hermione was still pulling her shirt over her head and my pants were still down to my knees whenever Harry opened the car door closest to me. "Lovely evening," he began, "you two happen to know were the sane Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger are?"
I sighed, knowing what was coming. "Look Harry, I'm sorry we didn't tell you before-"
"Well you're damned right you should be," he said, but then he grinned and Ginny burst out laughing. "But what's done is done, my friend, and you and Hermione just made love like a couple of wild monkeys."
I laughed, but Hermione looked completely disgusted. "How much did you see Harry?"
"Oh, nothing, I assure you," Ginny answered for Harry. "I was the one who noticed first, anyways. And we know it was good because you're both soaked in sweat."
I went to put a word in, but Harry beat me to it.
"So it appears as though," he said, "you both have some explaining to do."
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"So how many times have you, you know…"
I blushed.
"Oh, don't be so modest Hermione. This is girl talk."
"Oh, I don't know-
"Maybe four times?"
"Bloody hell Ron!"
I blushed and said, "But it was never-
"Planned. It was never planned."
"Things just kind of led to another and you…"
"Right," I said, laughing, "We just kind of-
"Made love," I said, "The first time, Harry, I seriously I had no-"
"Idea what you were doing?"
"Exactly! I found urges in place I didn't even-
"Know I had."
"How does it, you know…"
"Make me feel?"
"Like I can walk on air."
"Sounds…well, serious."
"It is, I want to show her how serious I am about this. I love her."
"I love him. I just hope I'm not just another girl to him."
"Hermione, you can't be serious!"
"I just want him to do something more then…you know…"
"Bang you?"
"Exactly Harry. I want to show her how much I care, and how-
"I want to spend the rest of my life with-
"her."
"Well mate, what are you gonna do?"
"I'm gonna ask her to…"
"What?"
"I'm gonna ask her to marry me Harry."
