Ron stood on the platform, fidgeting nervously. He looked over to see Harry, whose desperate expression mirrored that of his own. Although Ron could feel everyone on platform 9 ¾ staring at him, at both of them, he only cared about one thing, one person.
The clock struck 1:00 and the majestic, red Hogwarts express pulled into the station. Ron grinned, gripping the small bouquet of forget-me-nots in his hand. Before long he heard Talking behind him. Ron joined Harry and greeted his sister. "So, have you seen Hermione?" Ron asked. Harry grinned, "Ron just can't wait to see her, he's been fidgeting all morning, should've seen him." "Hey!" replied Ron "What about you, you were so much worse!" and soon they were both arguing in that way you'd expect from two teenage boys, who were best friends.
"Ron." Ginny said, trying to get his attention, but it didn't work, "RON!" she shouted, using a voice gained by having 6 older brothers (two of which were Fred and George) and being captain of the Gryffindor Quidditch team. Ron looked up, slightly annoyed, but Ginny just motioned behind him.
Ron turned around, and that's when he saw her. Hermione smiled, wearing skinny jeans and one of Ron's old jumpers, she looked perfect. Ron smiled back and walked slowly towards her. As he reached her, he held out the forget-me-nots. "Oh Ron," sighed Hermione, "they're beautiful." Ron pulled Hermione into a hug, "I missed you so much Mione." He whispered. Ron felt a hand on his back; he turned to see Harry greeting Hermione enthusiastically.
Throughout the journey back to The Burrow, Ron kept looking over at Hermione, his eyes filled with adoration. Harry often caught sight of these glances, and chuckled, but Ron just glared back, shutting him up.
Hermione giggled as they stepped out of the car. "Oh Ron, don't tell me you've been practising your glare." Ron smiled, "of course. I knew I'd need it to make sure Harry treats Ginny right. I suppose it has other uses though." Ron grinned and gave Hermione a hug. She leant into his arms, relieved to be with him again.
