A series of five drabbles that follow Ron and Hermione throughout their relationship. In chronological order, same universe. Their relationship starts slightly earlier than is canon. For HedwigBlack's Romantic Drabble challenge.

1. Subtle

A/N: I don't own anything. 100-word drabbles for HedwigBlacks Romantic Drabble challenge. For this one I used the prompt "Subtle" and the quote "Anything simple always interests me" by David Hockney.

Ron was never very subtle. Jealous looks when she was with anyone else. Always near, always protective. He didn't deserve her, Lavender said. (Ulterior motive?) She needed a Ravenclaw. Someone with at least half her wit. But she was smart enough for both of them. And something simple was attractive, a way to know she was worth something to someone.

One day, as she sat correcting his homework, he was sitting close as always and she could feel his heart beating in his wrist. They were alone. She didn't think, just turned to him, pressed her lips to his mid-word.
