Disclaimer: I gain nothing and own nothing but satisfaction and maybe a few nice reviews.
A/N: A bit of fun with an idea I've wanted to write for ages. I'm shocking with dialogue, and worse when it comes to conflict so I started at the end of Hermione and Ron's fight instead.

"closing doors or opportunities"
remember when we scratched our names into the sand
and you told me you loved me

Ronald's face as her hand connected with his cheek was priceless. She'd really wanted to savour the moment but the stinging pain distracted her and she missed the rather ungraceful and undignified exit of her former boyfriend and best friend as she doubled over clutching her hand to her stomach.
The row itself had been formidable, made even more so by the impressive audience who had gathered to watch. At least half the school had been present in the Great Hall, including a handful of teachers who had conveniently turned a blind eye to events, and she was incredibly satisfied once she'd righted herself to see that most were giving her a standing ovation.
However she didn't get to bask in their applause for long because after only a few moments somebody grasped her face between their hands and planted a staggeringly wonderful smacker of a kiss right on her mouth.
"Oh God," Terry Boot exclaimed without removing his hands, "You've no idea how long I've wanted that to happen."
Surprisingly, Hermione had enough wits left to quip dazedly, "The slap or the kiss?"
"Either," he replied merrily, "Both."
Someone whistled and then he kissed her again.
End.
