"Good Night Ron" she said softly in a tone different from her's... and kissed him on his left cheek...

His eye balls popped out as he felt her lips on his cheek. She backed away.

He could not say anything for few seconds. It was like a fantasy for a guy to be kissed by a girl for whom he had started developing a very 'weird' feeling ... it was a very strange feeling... completely new to him, a guy of 18. he had now known Hermione for ages.. still this feeling didn't develop until their 3rd year together at Hogwarts. He wanted to hug her, kiss her, do whatever he could to make him feel closer to her.. He really wanted to feel her.

"Good Night Mione.. er... i mean Hermione... " His ears turned red.

To his fear, Hermione had noticed his sudden loss of words. She simply smiled and walked away.

He sighed ...

As he saw her walking towards Ginny's room where she stayed every time she came to the burrow , she looks so beautiful when she walks, she looks so beautiful when she talks,her eyes are so beautiful, her lips look so soft...a wide grin was spread across his lips as he thought about her... her soft kiss on his rough cheek.

"MERLIN'S BEARD!"

To his horror she suddenly turned back. He could see that she too was blushing as her cheeks which always remained pale had a certain pinkish tinge on them. He could not help looking into Hermione's chocolate brown eyes, his blue eyes were very much fixed on them. He was drowning.

She started moving towards him. He couldn't guess reason... "what if she has heard my feelings?.. what if i was too loud ... how can she read my mind...? " he thought. He could feel himself shivering.

Hermione was right in front of him.

Her pace was getting faster and faster , his heart was thumping louder than ever. He could only see her coming closer to him. Soon the distance between them was negligible. He held his breath tight as she guided her lips towards his. slowly... slowly... he could feel her breath ... he could hear her heart beat... it was beating as fast as his... she held his left cheek with her right while her left hand was on his right shoulder... her hands were so warm...her gaze was so radiant he wanted the moment to stop right there... but a little portion of the core of is heart.. he did't want to pause... he wanted to do something crazy... wild... erotic.. He was now staring at Hermione's pink , juicy lips... he felt her body touching his... he wanted to clutch her... hug her tightly to make himself sure she is with him ... that she can never leave him... but his desperate attention was towards her lips...He wanted to taste them so badly... it looked as if she too felt the same way... "Ron ... i think somethings have changed... The way i feel about you is different... You are no longer just a best friend... i think you are way more than that... i dont know whether you feel the same way or not... but i think i like you...not like a friend... but like a lover...i think i want to kiss you... and make you mine" Hermione said all of this in single breath. " so Ron... do you also wanna kiss me so that we can be together forever?"

"He wanted to shout, "BLOODY HELL! YEAAAHHH! I WANNA KISS YOU! I REALLY WANNA FEEL YOU" but instead he preferred nodding his head.

she beamed at him...

and then she touched her lips with his...

"RON! RON! WAKE UP! OH GOD WHY ARE YO SO LAZY, RONALD WEASLEY?"
