A Thousand Songs
Author's Note: While reading the books, a thousand songs always popped into my head - I remember having this feeling in a particularly intense way with Goblet of Fire. That's what brought this fic into life: how a thousand moments imagined inside my head would be fitted in a specific song. Hope you like it and thanks in advance for taking your time to read it :)
(Based upon Sugababes' latest single, 'About You Know'. Quite nice, never thought I'd enjoy the new line-up this much!)
About You Now
That kiss was all Hermione could think about. It had been her deepest wish for ages; it had been so many years hiding it from everyone, especially Ron. Now it was out in the open – and as war drew to an end, fear started filling up every single cell of Hermione's body – after all, where were they going now?
Getting out of Dumbledore's office, reality broke down on her. It wasn't going to be easy to deal with everything that had went on – how was Ron supposed to think about that kiss after such life-hanging events?
'Harry, are you going down to the Great Hall?', she heard Ron asking.
'Yeah, we probably have loads to handle now…', Harry whispered hollowly.
'Do you think you can manage without both of us for a couple of minutes, mate?'
Harry nodded, barely holding in a smile he thought would be most improper. He knew what the question really was, so there was no point in preventing them of having a moment alone.
'Thanks, we'll see you in a bit, yeah?', Ron smiled nervously. Hermione's heart sped wildly as she had no idea what was on Ron's mind. The moment Harry disappeared, however, Ron slowly entwined his fingers with Hermione's, hardly looking at her. Hermione felt a rush of adrenaline at his touch.
'Hermione, can you come with me? Just somewhere a bit more… private', he grimaced at the latter word. Hermione's reassuring smile made him look into her eyes at last. He smiled back feebly and started walking towards an empty, as undamaged as possible classroom, never letting go of her hand. They finally reached the Defence Against the Dark Arts classroom, which still seemed quite upright.
'What's wrong, Ron?', Hermione asked, as silence had fallen between them and he could not drive himself to speak.
'I can't do this without you', he suddenly said at once, as though slowing down the sentence would have prevented him for saying what was burdening him inside. 'I can't just deal with all of this and think – or – or know that you, well… That you regret kissing me and-'
Hermione caught him mid-sentence with another kiss full on the mouth. 'Not such an annoying habit to deal with, actually', Ron happily thought to himself, embracing yet again with such enthusiasm that she got off the floor.
'I'm here for you', she whispered when they broke off, Ron rubbing is nose against hers. It just felt so right to hold her close like that. 'I know how I feel about you and there is no turning back on that'.
Author's Note: Hopefully inspiration will come so I can have another chapter up within a week. Hope you liked it and thank you once again!
