It was night time in a beautiful large city that was filled of street lights that gave the city a wonderful glow and the sound of people laughing as they walked down the streets, in a large apartment, Ronald Weasley sighed as he ran his hand through his ginger hair while talking to his mother on the phone "Mum I told you that you I will marry when I'm ready and I'm only twenty-three" Ron heard his mother click her tongue and replied to him
"I know you work hard as policeman with Harry, I just feel sorry for you that you're all alone in that apartment of yours" Ron sighed then petted his small Jack Russell that was lying beside on the sofa
"I'm not completely alone, I got Tyson here with me" Ron commented to Molly
"That is not what I meant Ron, you need start dating again, I know what happened between you and Lavender is bad but not every girl is like that dear, I promise you'll find a girl that won't leave you" the mention of the name Lavender made Ron remember their break up which was a year ago, Ron thought that she was the one
"Ron I'm sorry we need to breakup" a girl with dirty blond hair with blue eyes said to Ron who was utterly shocked and looked at his pocket that held a velvet box that held a ring that took him months of saving and he was going to propose to her tonight, Ron took her to a beautiful lake where they were having a picnic
"Why, is it something I did?" Ron asked Lavender who shook her head and tears started to form in her eyes
"No Ron, it's nothing you did, you have been a wonderful boyfriend but I accepted a job in Australia and I'm so sorry Ron" she cried and ran away from a sad and confuse Ron who just stood there not believing what just happened. He pulled out the velvet box in his pocket and looked at it with anger; he threw it out into the lake and drove home.
"Ron?" Molly called out snapping him back to reality "I'll see you tomorrow okay?" Ron's mother asked her son who nodded and said in a sad voice
"Yeah, I'll see you tomorrow mum, I need to go to my night shift mum bye love you" Ron ended the call and got changed into his police uniform and got ready to get outside but Ron looked at his dog that laid on the couch looking ready to sleep "be good Tyson" the Jack Russell yapped at Ron making him smile before going out and locking the door.
Ron started walking down the stairs and see an elderly woman that was waiting for the elevator with lots of shopping bags in her arms, Ron knew the woman it was Mrs Higgins, she was a very nice woman everyone in the apartment block like her however she is very lonely since her husband died a year ago "Mrs Higgins let me help you with that" Ron took the heavy shopping bags in his arms
"Thank you Ronald, you are very kind" the woman had grey hair and caring green eyes "but don't you have a night shift, I don't want you to be late" Ron shook his head and led her to the elevator and pressed the right button for the right floor as the elevator started to move up and Ron spoke to the elderly woman
"Its fine Mrs Higgins" the woman smiled at Ron and whispered thank you Ron who smiled
"I'm surprised that you haven't got married yet" Ron blushed and laughed shyly towards the woman, when the elevator stop on the right floor, the woman opened her apartment door and Ron placed the shopping bags on the kitchen table and bid Mrs Higgins good night before going to the police station which was close to where Ron lived.
When Ron got to his work place, he went over to his desk and started to work "Hey Ron have you heard that Ginny got a new workmate, Ginny really likes her" Ron turned around and to look at his best friend with since he was eleven, Harry, Ron's little sister who was married to Harry, she worked as a nurse, Ron shook his head and leaned back against his office chair and looked at Harry who had messy black hair and green eyes but he wore glasses
"No you met her?" Ron asked Harry who shook his head and replied
"Yeah, Ginny brought her over for a cup of tea, she's really nice and single" Harry hinted making Ron roll his eyes in annoyance at his best friend and said
"I know what you are hinting at Harry, you know I'm not ready to start dating yet" Ron commenting making Harry scoff and replied to him
"Yeah I can tell by the way you flirt with girls in the cafe" Harry saw his best friend blush and look away from him, the cafe was where the police officers went to the cafe which was just around the corner from the station and it was open all day, there were cute young waitress that flirted with the officers to get tips and dates from them and all the waitress had a huge crush on Ron who doesn't go in the cafe alone because he was afraid to get attacked by the waitresses asking him out and bombarding him with weird and uncomfortable questions.
"I do not flirt, they flirt not me" Ron crossed his arms in front of his chest looking angry at Harry who just put his hand up in mock defence and laugh at Ron's antics "get back to work mate before I fire you" Ron playfully threatened to Harry who rolled his eyes and replied
"Hey just because you got promoted last week, I'll tell your sister on you" Ron stuck his tongue out and the two started working again.
It was around seven in the morning, when Ron got back home, he was greeted by his loving and loyal dog, Ron wasn't feeling tired even though he didn't get much sleep "Tyson" the dog's ear pricked up "where's your lead, where's your lead?" the dog started yapping happily and jumping up and down at Ron who smiled then started walking towards where he kept his dog's stuff like food, toys and his dark blue lead, Ron put the lead on the dog before leaving the building to the nearby park.
When they got to the park, Ron was playing fetch with his dog that didn't seem to get tired of playing the game "Ron" somebody called out to him making him turn around and smile when he saw his workmate, Nick Burrows, he is a tall man but Ron was a little taller than him, he had short dark brown hair and kind brown eyes, he was walking his police German shepherd, Dax who worked with his master, Nick. Tyson and Dax started to play with each other while the two police officers stared talking
"How are you mate?" Ron asked Nick who smiled brightly and replied excitedly
"Great Nicole gave birth to a healthy girl, Nicole and I decided to call her Erica" Ron smiled and patted him on the back
"Congratulation mate, that's a beautiful name" Nick mouthed thank then showed Ron a picture of his wife, Nicole, who had light brown and stunning green eyes, she looked tired but happy because in her hands was a small baby that had tuffs of light brown hair like her mothers and had brown eyes like her father "she's beautiful mate, she has your eyes" Ron commented making Nick's smile get brighter
"Ron I want you to be her godfather" Ron eyes widen and stuttered an answer
"But mate are you sure, I mean..." he was shushed by Nick who put his hands on his shoulder and talked to him
"If it weren't for you I wouldn't became a cop, you helped me pass my test so therefore I want you to be a godfather for my daughter, what do you say?" he asked to Ron who smiled and nodded
"I would be honoured" Nick grinned at Ron and called for Dax, who immediately started running towards him, Nick clipped his lead on the German Shepherd and waved goodbye
"Nicole and I will call you to tell you the details and the christening is next month" Ron smiled at him as he clipped the collar on Tyson and shouted back to him
"Okay thanks mate, I'll see you later and congratulation" Ron started to walk then he bumped into someone causing her to fall "I'm sorry I didn't see you there" Ron apologized and helped the person up, the person was a woman about Ron's age, she had bushy brown hair and brown eyes, the sight of her made Ron blush "she's beautiful, she looks like an angel, her pink soft lips makes me want to kiss her, oh my god I'm blushing
"It's okay I didn't look where I was going either" when she had a good look at Ron, she started to blush as well "Oh my god, this guy is fine, is he blushing, wait am I blushing, he has the most beautiful blue eyes I ever seen and that red hair it's a wonderful shade of red I just want to run my hands through them and god that body I think he has a six pack, wait is he speaking to me"
"Umm... Miss are you okay?" Ron asked worriedly as she looked like that she was dreaming
"Huh? Sorry I wasn't paying attention" she started dusting herself off as Ron picked up the book she dropped; the book was thick and heavy due to the amount of pages that it contained
"Here you drop this" Ron handed the heavy book over to the beautiful woman he bumped into, when their hand touched they felt electricity running through their bodies making their blush increase
"Thank you, sorry for bumping into you" she apologized to Ron who shook his head and he noticed that she was wearing a nurses uniform which made him curious
"No it was my fault" Hermione walked past Ron who took a deep breath and shouted to her "Hey" she turned around "umm by any chance do you know Ginny We-Potter" Ron almost said Ginny's maiden name which was Weasley but it changed when she married Harry which was a two months ago, Ron watched the look on her face change with worry and replied to him
"Yeah, she's my colleague, how do you know her?" the woman asked Ron who smiled
"She's my sister and I work with her husband who I've been friends with since I was eleven" Ron explained making her smile that made Ron couldn't help to smile back at her "what's your name?" he asked politely but he could see the discomfort on her face towards "oh sorry it's just as a police officer I can tell if a person is new in town" Ron said to her making her more relaxed then she started to smile again towards Ron
"My name Hermione Granger" she said to Ron who smiled as he petted his dog "what's your name?" she asked him
"Officer Ronald Weasley at your service, Miss Granger" Ron playfully bowed at Hermione making her smile bigger as she started walking again while Ron kept watching her until she was out of the park.
When Ron got back to his apartment laid down in his bed couldn't stop thinking about the woman he bumped into "Hermione Granger" Ron's heart beat faster when he said her name then he went to sleep before driving to his mother's house for lunch.
A few hours has passed then Ron's alarm clock started ringing making Ron groan in annoyance before getting up and took a shower when he was finished he put on a dark blue dress shirt that matches his eyes and he rolled it up to his elbows, he then put on black slacks and black leather shoes, when was happy with attire, he picked up his dog and drove to his parents home which was in the countryside.
When he finally got there, he knocked on the door and waited for somebody to open it, after a few seconds, Molly came in and gave his youngest son hugs and kisses making him frown at how his mother is babying him while Tyson just sat beside Ron "mum stop your embarrassing me" Ron commented as he lightly pushed her away
"I'm sorry Ronald, it's been a while since I saw you" Molly commented as the three entered the house but Ron rolled his eyes and said to her
"You saw me last week mum" Ron laughed softly at her as they made their way into dining room where everyone was waiting for him, Ron noticed somebody new to the table, Hermione was talking to Ginny
"Everyone Ron's finally here" Molly announced her son's arrival as they took their seats, Ron took a seat next to Harry and across him was Hermione who smiled shyly towards Ron who smiled back to her
"Ron this is Hermi-" Ron cut off Ginny by saying
"We met before" Hermione's and Ron's smiles got bigger as everyone started to eat while Ginny looked between her brother and her colleague and swore she could see love in their eyes "so Hermione how long have you been a nurse for Hermione" Ron asked Hermione as he took a bite out of his food
"A year, I'm still training to be a doctor" she replied before taking a drink
"So what kind of doctor do you want to be?" Ron gave a bit off food to his dog that was hiding under the table; Ron did it when his mother wasn't looking but Hermione saw Ron giving his dog food and giggled
"I want to be a children's doctor" Ron nodded and smiled at her "what about you, how long have you been a police officer for?" Hermione asked Ron who grinned
"Three years now" Ron turned his attention to his best friend "Harry did you know that Nick got a child now" Harry smiled at the news Ron gave him "and he wants me to be the godfather" Harry patted Ron on the back
"Congrats mate, I'm sure you will be a great godfather" Ron said thank you for Harry kind words. Around night time, Harry and Ginny already went home around the afternoon while Hermione met all the Weasley who welcomed her with open arms while Ron was playing with his nieces and nephews also Tyson played with them.
When almost everyone was going home, Hermione and Ron helped Mrs Weasley by washing the dishes "Hermione how are you getting home?" Ron asked Hermione who dried her hands and replied
"I'll take the train" Hermione started putting away the plates and cups while Ron was worried about her safety then he had an idea
"Hermione why don't I drive you home, it would be dangerous for you to be going on the train at this time" Hermione didn't want to be a bother to Ron.
"That's very kind of you Ronald, but I don't want to be a bother to you" Ron shook his head and smiled towards her
"Please it's not a bother, it's the least I can do for bumping into you" Hermione was about to say no but when she looked at Ron who was pouting like a puppy and she couldn't say no to that face
"But Ronald I do-" Ron shushed her
"You're not a bother, it would be a pleasure to drive you home" Hermione sighed and nodded making Ron cheer then he looked at his watch and saw it was getting late "let's say our goodbyes to my parents then I'll drive you home" Hermione nodded and went to find Ron's parents "by the way just Ron okay?" Hermione nodded "Mum I'm driving Hermione home" Ron gave a hug to his mother who whispered in his ear
"Do I hear wedding bells in the horizon, Ron" she joked making Ron blush
"Mum" he hissed his mother making Molly laugh then she gave a motherly hug to Hermione while Ron shook hands with his father and said his goodbye
"Thank you for having me over Mrs Weasley, I really enjoyed it" Hermione commented to Molly who smiled warmly at her
"You are welcome anytime Hermione" she softly patted Hermione's cheeks and Hermione could see she had twinkle in her eyes "you almost family" she hinted as she darted her eyes to Ron who was talking to his father, Arthur, Hermione blushed at what Mrs Weasley was hinting at.
"Drive carefully Ron" Molly reminded her son who rolled his eyes and before putting Tyson at the back then opened the car door for Hermione. As Ron was driving Hermione home they had a great conversation about almost everything, when Ron pulled up outside her apartment "Good night Hermione"
"Good night Ron" Hermione wasn't thinking when she leaned over and kissed him on the cheek making Ron freeze in shock when she realised what she just did she quickly pulled away and stuttered an explanation to Ron "I..I..I'm so..sorry Ron I didn't know what came over me" Ron looked at the blushing Hermione who looked away from his gaze
"Hermione, I think you missed" Hermione was a little confused at what said before she could ask Ron was already leaning, her breath hitch when Ron's lips was inches away from hers "stop me if you want to Hermione" then Hermione close the gap between them, Hermione and Ron could hear electricity running coursing their bodies, they sat in the car snogging then they were interrupted by Ron's phone making Ron groan in annoyance while Hermione giggled softly
"Hello" he answered annoyance at person "Do I have to now?" Ron complained then sighed "alright I'll be there soon" Ron ended the call and put the phone in his pocket "sorry about that, that was my boss, I'm need to go to work tonight"
"I understand good night" Hermione was about to leave but Ron quickly grabbed her small warm hand not wanting her to go yet
"Wait do you want to go on a date tomorrow?" Ron asked Hermione who saw there was hope in his eyes making her smile and nodded
"I would love to Ron" the police officer smile at her "umm can I have your number?" she asked shyly to Ron who wrote down his number and handed it over to her "do you want me to give you my number?" Ron winked at her and shook his head
"I already have your number, remember I'm a police officer" he playfully said to Hermione who blushed "I'll call you tomorrow" Ron kiss Hermione on the cheek before Hermione went into her apartment when Ron saw that she was safely inside the apartment, he drove Tyson home and getting changed into his police uniform and went to the police station still smiling about the moment he had with Hermione.
When Ron kissed Hermione it was different when he was kissing Lavender but it wasn't anything bad, Hermione's kisses excited him, fuzzy on the inside and made him feel like he could kiss her lips for the rest of his life, when kissing Lavender he felt comfort. Ron admitted that he liked Hermione's kisses better than Lavender's that moment Ron realised that he loves Hermione more than Lavender.
"RON!" the head of the Police department, Peter Mason, he had black hair and brown eyes, he had a black thin beard, he was a kind but strict man, he ran the police station fairly and everyone loves him as the boss
"Sir?" Ron ran into his office quickly and he could see the worried look on Peter's face
"There's a fire at Burton apartments, your team is needed, please help the firemen hurry" Ron nodded and gathered his team before speeding off to Burton apartments, when they got there the fire was still going strong and the firemen was spraying the building with powerful water, the paramedics was treating the injured resident, Ron and his team was trying to keep the bystanders back "please, please my child is still in there, please help her" a woman who was a resident calling out, Ron walked over to the woman and tried to calm her down
"Miss please calm down, what floor is your child in?" Ron asked putting both of his hand on her shoulder trying to calm her down
"Third floor please help Ally, she's in room 3B" she begged Ron who gave her a warm reassuring smile and nodded
"I promise I'll get her to safety" Ron ran over to one of the fireman "a child is on the third floor, I'm going in get a trampoline or parachute ready to catch us okay?" the fireman looked unsure
"But sir-" Ron didn't listen to him he just took two breathers to help him breathe through the fire before walking up to the side of the building that wasn't on fire and jumped through to a window and started making his way up on the third floor, when Ron got there he covered his mouth with the breather to stop breathing in the dangerous smoke, Ron started searching for room 3B when he got to the door, he heard a voice through the apartment door
"Help, please help me" a little girl's voice called out "please I want my mummy" Ron took a few steps back and kicked down the door open
"Hey Ally where are you?" Ron shouted looking around for the little girl
"in here" Ron turned to a large cupboard, inside was a little girl no older than six, she blond hair and blue eyes that had fear in them "who are you?" she asked to Ron, she started coughing due to the dangerous smoke
"I'm officer Weasley but you can call me Ron okay?, here put this on" he put on the other breather on the little girl "come on let's get you to your mum okay?" the little girl nodded, Ron put his arms out for the girl who burrowed into his chest, the fire started to get into the apartment which made Ron worry, the fire was spreading around them, Ron heard the little girl gasp in fear "hey Ally keep your eyes close okay?" the little girl did what she was told and clung on tighter to Ron who looked around for an escape route however the fire was spreading so quickly the only option was the window, Ron looked out and saw that the firemen had a huge trampoline ready for them, Ron took a deep breath before running full speed out the window breaking the glass with his shoulder away from Ally, Ron groaned in pain but they successfully landed on the trampoline.
Ron and Ally laughed as they bounced on the trampoline "Ally, Ally" the woman who begged Ron to get her child ran over to Ally, the little girl cried into her mother's arms "thank you officer, thank you" the woman thank Ron a thousand times before getting her daughter checked with the Paramedics.
Ron had a pain in his shoulder, he looked down and saw glass shards were piercing his skin then he blacked out. Officer Weasley could hear hushed voices around him; he opened one of his blue eyes and saw Ginny, Harry and Hermione with a worried looks on their faces
"He's awake" Ginny whispered excitedly making everyone smile at Ron who opened both of his eyes getting them to adjust, Ron got into a seating position and looked around to his friends "are you okay?" Ron's little sister asked Ron as Hermione handed him a glass of water, Ron thanked Hermione and nodded at Ginny before taking a drink
"Yeah I'm fine" Ron rolled his shoulder but he felt a stinging pain "Ouch" Ron rubbed his hurt shoulder, Harry excused himself when his phone rang, he went outside to answer it and Ginny was called by a doctor leaving Ron and Hermione alone in the hospital room "I'm glad your okay Ron, what you did was very noble" the girl with busy brown hair sat beside Ron's bed
"Thank you Hermione, I'm sorry that I can't take you on a date for a while" Ron looked down in sadness but Hermione cupped Ron's stubble cheeks and made him look at her
"I don't mind, you risked you life to save someone, I don't mind holding our date off for a while" Ron smiled happily at her and cupped one of her cheeks with his hand
"You look very cute and beautiful in your nurse uniform" Ron commented making Hermione blush and mouthed thank you to him "how long was I out for?" he asked as he stroked her soft red cheek lovingly, Hermione cleared her throat then placed her hand over his and answered his question
"A week, you had everyone worried, the doctor said that you can leave tomorrow but you can't work for three weeks" she informed Ron who nodded then there was a knock on the door making the couple remove their hands away from each other, Ally and her mother came in
"Oh hi Ally how are you?" Ron ask the little girl who nodded and held her mother's hand tightly
"I'm okay thank you for saving me Mr Weasley, this is for you" she handed Ron a get well soon card and a bouquets flowers, Ron smiled at the gift the little gave him, he picked a daisy from the bouquet of flowers and put in Ally's blond hair giving Ron a cute smile "thank you Mr Weasley"
"You are a very pretty little girl, Ally it was a pleasure to have saved you" Ron smiled at Ally whose smile got bigger then Ally's mother spoke to Ron
"We owe you a lot sir, thank you for saving my daughter" Ally's mother shook Ron's hand thanking Ron again and again
"It my job to protect people ma'am" after a few minutes Ally and her mother said their final thanks before leaving Ron and Hermione alone again then a young nurse came in, she had curly dirty brown hair and striking grey eyes
"hello Mr Weasley" she flirted with Ron who looked over to a jealous and angry looking Hermione "oh hello Hermione" she didn't sound happy that Hermione was there
"Hello Madeline" Hermione was glaring at young nurse but she just ignored Hermione and just looked hungrily at Ron who thought that Hermione looked cute when she was angry and jealous
"So Hermione the second I get out of here, how about we go see a movie" Ron could see from the corner of his eyes that Madeline mouth gaped open in shocked at what he said to Hermione who smirked at her colleague
"I would like that very much Ronald" Ron winked at her making her giggle as Madeline walked out still shocked that Ron was taken
"You know you are very cute when you are angry and jealous" Ron commented making Hermione frown at him a little then started to smile "So do you want to watch a movie when I leave the hospital?" Ron asked Hermione who nodded then she looked at her watch and gasp
"I'm late, I'm sorry Ron I need to go to my training, and I'll see you later" Ron quickly grabbed her hand and pulled her gentle back to him, Hermione was about to ask why he did that but her lips was covered with his and she couldn't help to kiss him back when they parted he looked sheepishly at Hermione
"Sorry I couldn't let you go without saying goodbye" Hermione blushed and kissed Ron's cheek before waving goodbye to her doctor training. Ron just laid happily down his hospital bed couldn't wait for his date with Hermione.
The next day, Ron signed out the hospital, his shoulder still hurt but he could bare it, and went home to get ready for his date with Hermione, when he got home he fed his dog and took a shower after that he got changed into a pair of dark blue jeans, a white polo shirt and a red v neck sweater and black shoes when Ron was happy with his clothes, he started making his way down where he met Mrs Higgins "Hello Ron how are you I heard you got sent to the hospital?" she asked Ron who smiled and replied
"I'm okay Mrs Higgins" Ron watched the old woman look up and down at him
"Going somewhere Ron, you look very handsome today" she commented making him blush a little and rubbed the back of his head nervously
"I'm going on a date with Hermione Granger who works with my sister" Ron saw Mrs Higgins smile gets bigger and bigger
"I'm glad your okay, have fun on your date" Mrs Higgins said her goodbye and entered her apartment whilst Ron walked to the cinema which wasn't far from his apartment, Ron waited for Hermione at the entrance
"Ron!" Ron turned around and grinned when he saw Hermione wearing black skinny jeans and a beautiful light blue blouse, Ron thought she looked beautiful
"Hey you look great" Hermione blushed at what Ron said and mouthed thank you to him "what movie do you want to see?" he asked Hermione who shrugged and said
"I don't mind" she said quietly then looked on her right and saw a poster for a horror movie "how about that one" Ron looked at where she was pointing and raised an eyebrow at her
"Are you sure?" Hermione nodded making Ron sigh and pay for the movie tickets, Ron bought a large popcorn for them to share and a large coke but at first Hermione was saying she would pay for their snacks but Ron told her that he was paying after a few minutes of arguing Ron won and Ron paid for the food, when they entered the movie theatre and found their seats.
Ron and Hermione were talking and eating waiting for the movie to start "How's your shoulder?" she asked Ron who smiled and kissed her forehead lovingly
"It doesn't hurt much, I'll live" Ron commented and Hermione laid her head on his shoulder but she forget that it was the injured shoulder, Ron hissed in pain a bit making Hermione remove her head and apologizing to him
"I'm sorry Ron I forgot-" Ron kissed her to make her stop talking when they parted he whispered because the movie was starting
"Its fine don't worry, I don't mind" Hermione nodded and carefully laid her head again on his shoulder, Ron smiled at how careful she was making him shake his head and said "don't have to be careful Hermione" Ron could see her smile and the two watch the movie at the scary parts Hermione buried her face into Ron's chest, at the middle of the movie he could feel her shaking in fear, Ron got up and helped her up then led her outside "Hermione you know you could have just said that you didn't like horror movies" Ron watched her look down and lowered her head in shame
"I'm sorry it's just that I thought that you-" she was cut off by Ron's soft lips when they need to breathe they parted
"Want to walk around town?" Ron asked to Hermione who nodded and the two walked towards town holding hands, they walked through the park and Ron saw a flower cart, he led Hermione there and bought a red rose for her, he handed her the flower and Hermione smiled and shyly took it "a beautiful rose for a beautiful girl" Hermione's smile got bigger and gave Ron a short kiss as thanks
