HI Everyone so this is my first ever story. I have read a lot of fanfics over the past few years but never had the courage to ever right anything of my own. This is a pretty generic story, and I am sure you have read other very similar stories before. Feel free to give me advice on how to improve but no flames please.
And lastly of course, none of the characters are mine; they all belong to JK Rowling.
She watched Harry trudge up the stairs to the boy's dormitory and felt exhausted. She was so tired and overwhelmed by the damage, death, and mayhem within Hogwarts. These last few days seemed to blur into one ridiculously long event in her mind, and she couldn't help but marvel at how she was still able to think with how little sleep they had gotten. As Harry left her line of site, she realized Ron was still standing next to her, and remembered the kiss. She blushed from embarrassment and wanted to hide in the girl's dormitory. Ron probably thought she was insane! One day she was yelling at him for leaving and the next she practically accosted him for thinking about the house elves!
Hermione made to go up the stairs when she felt a strong, rough, and familiar hand gently grab her arm to stop her.
Ron: Hermione..I…umm…I …
Hermione turned to look at his face. He looked so uncertain and nervous that she realized that she wasn't the only one thinking about the kiss. All of a sudden, he seemed to become more confident and brought his hands up to cup her face. He looked into her eyes as if searching for something and slowly brought his lips to hers. Gently applying pressure, asking, seeking, and looking for permission. She responded in kind and the kiss was beautiful, gentle and much different from the hurried kiss they shared during the battle.
After a few seconds, they broke apart and both tried to talk at the same time. They laughed and Hermione said, "You first Ron". Ron smiled and said, "I don't regret the kiss, Hermione".
It took her a second to fully grasp what he had said and a bright grin broke out onto her face. She replied, "I don't regret the kiss either".
They shared an intimate look and realized, for once, that was all they needed to say for right now.
