Colors of the Rainbow Challenge (pairing Ron/Hermione), category Red, using the prompts: strawberries and raspberries, and the quote 'When women go wrong, men go right after them.' I couldn't really find a way to incorporate all the prompts into it, but this is what I got when the plot bunnies took over.
The jumper was itchy. Very, very itchy. The thick, rough threads were digging into her skin, triggering an itch and making Hermione promptly scratch it, making a smattering of blotchy red rashes across her arms. Seeing as she had left all of her clothes at Grimmauld Place (as she believed they were going back that night - it was the one thing that wasn't in her bag) she had to borrow Ron's however-many-year-old maroon Weasley sweater, faded from the sunlight so it was a dull red color. Not the color of blood, perhaps, but the color of strawberries and raspberries, not a blinding bright red or a blood-like crimson, but a calm, subdued red that was a relaxing color. Even if it was unbearably itchy.
She heard dull, loud footsteps behind her, from where she was sitting outside the tent, admire the breathtaking stretch of land beyond the lake they were camping on, and she knew instantly it was Ron after her. Give someone seven years of solid (alright, sometimes shaky) friendship, and she could tell if it was Ron or Harry by simple footsteps; Ron was loud thumps, and Harry's was more delicate, like he was being very careful to avoid the crunchy leaves that spread all over the ground. When did she ever pay attention to their footsteps?
"Why're you here?" she asked, when he took a seat next to her, and admired the sunshine, beaming onto the clear teal lake, making a sparkling, clear reflection and warming their faces considerably, casting little sun spots all around the campsite.
"When women go wrong, men go right after them," he told her promptly, as if he'd been practicing that line specifically. Ron held out a t-shirt of his, silently offering for her to wear the t-shirt instead of the itchy jumper. She took it from his outstretched hands, and ducked inside the tent to change into it, feeling a great sense of relief when she took the uncomfortable jumper off.
"Thanks, Ron," she told him.
"Only for you, Hermione," he replied.
