This is an older story of mine that I am cleaning up and fixing some. This is an ongoing effort that I started when I hit my one year mark of writing fan fiction. My old stories' plots weren't bad, but I've learned a lot since then. I know some of the tenses are still a bit off, but I tried to limit how much I actually rewrote vs. reformatted. I think this makes the story much easier to read. Thanks for R&R.

Chapter 1 - Hermione and Ron

Hermione apparated to the Burrow just as the last rays of sun were dipping below the horizon. As she made her way up the garden path, Ron came running out the door and embraced her tightly. Hermione was tired after a long day at St. Mungo's, but the feeling of Ron's tall strong body around her proved to be exactly what she needed. He leaned down tenderly and kissed her. As the kiss deepened, Hermione relaxed more and pressed herself into Ron. Just as her body started tingling though, Ron broke the kiss and Hermione sighed. He never felt comfortable being too affectionate here at the Burrow. As Hermione looked around him and saw Mrs. Weasley at the kitchen window, she understood Ron's hesitation.

Despite her understanding, Hermione longed for more. She really must get Ron off and away from the Burrow for some time alone. Unfortunately, even the times when she did, Ron always seemed to hold back a bit. There had been plenty of snogging and groping, but Ron always became hesitant as soon as the groping reached her waist. She understood he was shy, but it was getting ridiculous. They had confessed their love eight months earlier, the day after the Battle of Hogwarts, but since then the most that she had gotten from him was enthusiastic handling of her breasts. She was tired and frustrated and ready to take matters in hand. Tonight Ron had planned a date for them at a new muggle restaurant that she had been wanting to try. Hermione had plans for after dinner, with help from the wine that she was going to make sure he drank. Before they left, Hermione went into the house to say hello to the Weasleys. Mrs. Weasley hugged her tightly and they began talking about Hermione's Healer apprenticeship at St. Mungo's. As happy as she was with her job, Hermione broke off the conversation, insisting that she and Ron had a reservation they couldn't be late for. As they left the Burrow, Ron and Hermione apparated to a small alleyway on the side of the restaurant, then made their way in.

Having been raised a muggle, the restaurant was nice but nothing new for Hermione. Ron on the other hand was constantly gawking and had a hard time containing his comments over simple things. As they ate their salad, a woman two tables away spilled her wine across the white tablecloth and her dress. She immediately jumped up, quite distraught. Ron barely contained himself, but Hermione thought she heard something in his mumble that sounded like 'scourgify'. His hand also seemed to be twitching toward his wand, but Hermione grabbed Ron's hand and giggled, telling him to just leave her be. Ron seemed to pity the poor woman, when any second year student at Hogwarts would have been able to remedy the situation quickly. With Hermione's encouragement, he desisted and focused on the beautiful woman in front of him.

Hermione had changed from her Healer's robes to a simple black dress that hugged her body in delightful ways. The neckline plunged and Ron had a hard time keeping his eyes up. Seeing his distraction, Hermione smirked. The dress was having the effect she planned. Dinner arrived shortly and all the dishes were wonderful. The restaurant was as good as she had heard, but her thoughts were already drifting to her plans for the rest of the evening.

Once they had finished dinner, they walked through the neighborhood and to a small park. They had their arms wrapped around each other tightly and the beautiful evening was perfect. As they neared the exit to the park, Hermione prepared herself and asked Ron if he wanted to see her new flat. Several months earlier, as her apprenticeship progressed, Hermione had moved out of her parents' house and found herself a small place in a muggle building near St. Mungo's. Her parents had tried to dissuade her, but she insisted that it was time for her to spread her wings a bit. She also knew that Ron had no intention of moving out of the Burrow soon and that she really needed someplace private for them. Ron had originally planned on becoming an Auror with Harry, but he failed to pass the Potions NEWT and just barely passed the Charms NEWT. He was upset at first, but then George had offered him a position at the shop and Ron had quickly made himself indispensable. He would never replace Fred of course, but having a brother nearby had helped to begin George's healing process. Of course, the regular presence of Angelina in George's flat above the shop had also helped.

As they left the park, Ron enthused that he would love to see her place. He was still surprised she was living in a muggle building, but of course Hermione would find that easier than a lot of witches. While Hermione had not initially thought that living in a muggle building would be an issue, it had caused more problems than she anticipated. Her landlady especially was nosy and wondered how Hermione always managed to leave without being noticed. The landlady was also concerned by the loud popping noises that Hermione made on apparating each morning and had even sent an electrician in to check for faulty wiring. After a couple of months, Hermione managed to finally put her off enough that the landlady thought her strange new tenant was just antisocial and maybe even into drugs, but at least she always paid the rent on time.

As soon as Ron consented to seeing her flat, Hermione grabbed his arm and apparated them both straight into her kitchen. Ron was shocked at first, but recovered quickly as he looked around. He was just a bit jealous that Hermione had all of this to herself. She gave him a brief tour and then took him to the window to show him the view of the city lights. As they took in the view, Hermione pressed herself into Ron's side and turned her face up to him. He took the hint and began kissing her. The kiss deepened and Hermione moaned slightly as Ron's hands started fondling her breasts. She began to unbutton his shirt and Ron looked slightly surprised. Hermione just kissed him and encouraged him to unzip her dress. In a very short amount of time, the dress and Ron's shirt were on the floor. They had maneuvered up to the couch and Hermione was now leaning back against it as Ron's hands kept exploring more. This was about as far as they had ever gotten and as Hermione began to unbutton Ron's pants he suddenly stopped and looked at her startled. Hermione realized this was the time and reached up, pulled Ron's head down to her breasts and whispered in his ear.

"Make love to me Ron Weasley, please, oh please!"

Ron's head came back up, his eyes met hers and he saw tears beginning to form. This was what he had wanted for so long, but he never knew if she was ready. Now it seemed she was. He didn't say anything, but responded by loosening the last of her underclothes and immediately started fingering her. He knew her breasts very well, but this was the first time he had worked lower and it felt so good. He was rock hard and aching badly. They kept kissing while he continued to play with her and Hermione finished the job of removing his pants. Left only in his boxers, she pulled away briefly, took him by the hand and led him to her bedroom.

When they reached the bedroom Hermione lay down, dragging Ron with her, and soon they were all over each other. She finally removed his shorts and marveled at what she saw. She had never been with anyone before, but he looked massive. She knew this was going to hurt, but she was beyond ready. As Ron kept playing with her, he suddenly decided to explore deeper and plunged two fingers into her. Hermione squealed, then grabbed her wand and cast a quick muffliato spell and a contraception charm. With that complete, she pulled Ron completely over the top of her and demanded that he finish it NOW! Ron's erection was hurting so badly that he quickly complied and slowly entered her. She gasped as her insides gradually adjusted. It hurt, but what an exquisite pain. He reached her barrier and waited, a questioning look in his eyes. She gave him a brief nod and he pushed further, rupturing her. Ron felt like he would explode as he took her virginity, but he exercised all his willpower and held off. He waited a minute to let her pain subside a bit, then she began grinding against him and he started slowly thrusting. It was exquisite, but Ron knew he wouldn't last much longer. Unexpectedly, Hermione's pants turned into grunts and she started pushing into him harder. He increased his speed and she began to scream his name. Feeling her tighten around his cock pushed Ron past the edge and he came inside her in several large spurts. He felt like he might die and he didn't care. He looked into her eyes and the whole world was just them. As Ron softened and began to leave her, they both said the same thing together, 'why did we wait so long?'

They lay in each other's arms for a while, not speaking but occasionally stroking each other's bodies. As Hermione began to stroke him more, Ron's erection reawakened. Hermione was sore, but she had waited too long for this night to want it to end. Deciding to try something different, she rolled herself on top of Ron and lowered herself onto his cock. She hurt some, but the feeling was magnificent. Ron's eyes were wide with surprise, but he was grinning. As she settled in, Hermione began to rock on him slowly. Before long, her desire increased her speed and she was rocketing up and down on him with her breasts bouncing in unison. Ron started thrusting in time, while enjoying the magnificent view. He was not quite ready when she suddenly let out a low growl followed by a loud scream as she came with another shuddering orgasm. Wanting him to join her, she gritted her teeth and kept pounding, begging him to fill her with his seed again. Hearing his beautiful Hermione spout demands of carnal lust was Ron's breaking point and he came in her again. As he finished, she kept going and had yet another orgasm. They were both drenched in sweat and the smell of sex enveloped them as she rolled to the side and wrapped herself around him, panting as she tried to catch her breath. This time they were both spent and fell asleep in a passionate embrace.

Hours later, Ron woke and checked his watch. It was almost three in the morning! He sat up with a start and Hermione woke up as well. He should have been back at the Burrow hours ago. Hermione knew he was worried, but begged him to stay with her for the night. He knew he would catch a hell of a lecture when he got home, but looking in Hermione's eyes he decided it was time to grow up. His parents would just have to accept that he truly was an adult and his behavior was not their concern. Hermione also felt a twinge of apprehension, knowing that with Ron staying the night, the Weasleys would no longer have any doubt what was going on. Then she curled herself back onto him and fell asleep, with her last thought being that she bloody well didn't care anyway.

They woke the next morning and stared at each other blissfully. Ron was semi-hard again and Hermione had a sudden inspiration. She dove under the covers and took his cock full in her mouth. Ron instantly hardened up completely as he began to moan. His first thought was 'what the hell', but then he realized that he was about to get his first blow job. Hermione went from deep throating him to exploring every inch of him with her tongue. As she licked down the length of him, she continued to his ball sack, which she gently nibbled. Ron felt like he was on fire with sensations he had never dreamed of. Hermione continued back up his shaft and then took his fully erect length all the way down her throat. He was big, but she could tell by the way Ron's thighs were quivering that he was enjoying it completely. As she made another pass around his head with her tongue, he let loose suddenly with most of the cum going into Hermione's hair. She proceeded to lap up what was left, slurping her way back up his belly and grinning at him mischievously. Ron marveled at her skill, unaware that during Hermione's visit to Bulgaria three summers ago she had had several opportunities to practice on Viktor. She had kept herself a virgin just barely, but she wasn't innocent.

After Ron's breathing settled back to a normal rhythm, Hermione led the way to her small bathroom so that they could clean up. As the warm water enveloped them in the shower, she informed him that it was time for payback and she wanted him to taste her. Ron understood the general principle, but was a bit intimidated to try. Undeterred, Hermione pushed him down so that his face was at her crotch. She then parted her folds and told him to go to work. Ron started slow, with his tongue wandering all over, until he found the spot that caused her to squeal and then he focused on sucking and nibbling her clit. Soon Hermione was thrusting her hips into his head while grabbing his hair and screaming his name. Too late she realized that she hadn't cast muffliato on the bathroom. Oh well, it wasn't like her neighbors in the building were always quiet themselves. As Hermione came on Ron's face, he licked up her hot fluids and admired the unique taste that was his Hermione. With Hermione satisfied, they finished the job of washing each other. It took a while, but eventually it was done and they went to the kitchen to find breakfast.

As much as Hermione wanted to stay with Ron all day, she had a Saturday shift at the hospital. She kissed him goodbye and told him to stay as long as he liked, then she apparated herself to the St. Mungo's entrance. With Hermione gone, Ron sat down on the couch and reviewed the past twelve hours with a silly grin on his face. Once he had collected himself, he apparated to Weasley's Wizard Wheezes, where he had some inventory work to help George with.

Upon arriving at the shop, he proceeded to his desk and began to work. Being that it was Saturday, he only had a couple hours of work to do and he wanted to get it finished quickly. A few minutes after he arrived, George came back to discuss the inventory. Ron greeted him cheerily and George immediately raised an eyebrow. His brother was happy this morning and not entirely his usual self. Hmmm. As Ron tried to start discussing business, George put up a hand and demanded to know what was up with his little brother. Ron's face broke into a bigger grin.

"What do you mean?"

George was well versed in the ways of women and jumped to the obvious conclusion. Unable to remove the grin from his face, Ron finally admitted that he had spent the night at Hermione's and no, he hadn't been back to the Burrow since. George let out a gigantic cheer, pounded Ron on the back and wished him a hearty congratulations. He then offered him a shield hat from the store inventory for Ron to wear when he went home. Laughing, Ron declined and informed his older brother that their parents were just going to have to cope with their children growing up. George admired his brother for a minute before replying.

"Well as long as they don't find out that Ginny has been taking breaks from Hogwarts to visit Harry at Grimmauld Place, I guess they'll be okay."

This revelation caused Ron's jaw to hit the desk and George laughed.

"Oh, you didn't realize that your best friend has been shagging our baby sister for months now?"

Apparently Harry had had an unfortunate slip during a visit to see George a couple months ago and had had to admit that his relationship with Ginny had become very serious. George had confronted Ginny and threatened Harry, with the end result being that his eyebrows were hexed purple and ended up covering half his face before he found the counter hexes. By that time he decided to leave well enough alone. Ginny had turned 17 last month anyway so now there was really nothing anyone could do.
