The Burrow stood eerily silent among the orchards of Ottery.st.Catchpole, it was understandable given the fact that today happened to be the funeral of one Fred Weasley, the ceremony itself had ended two hours ago but the guests were still hanging back drinking and reminiscing, George Weasley had transformed the funeral in a farewell party of sorts after the ceremony there was a brilliant show of Weasley's never-ending fireworks, Everyone was getting royally pissed and talking a little too loudly, It all got a bit too much so Ronald Weasley stepped out giving a last glance towards Hermione who was busy talking with Luna and Ginny, Ron knew it was inappropriate but he thought she looked beautiful tonight.
He made his way towards the small peak that stood at the south of Burrow, the peak had always been his escape when it got too crowded in the Burrow. It was on that very peak Ron had come to the realization that he loved Hermione back in his fourth year.
'Hermione' she was the only silver lining in all this tragedy. His legs traced the familiar path which he had not visited since before the Horcrux hunt, it was a real breathe of fresh air to be out here, it was nothing special the peak overlooked a small pond just at the right of the orchard were Fred was resting but it was calm a silent place were one could find solitude.
Hermione had once said that he had 'the emotional range of a teaspoon' the memory from their fifth year bought a smile on Ron's face, he sat down untucking his plain white shirt and loosening the knot of his tie, Hell now he wished that he had a emotional range of teaspoon because he didn't know which emotion to focus on, he was sad that he had lost his brother, he was angry at the death eaters that took Fred from them, he was grateful that Harry, Hermione and so many others were still alive, he was both happy and terrified about his and Hermione's new relationship well sort of relationship, he was pretty sure he should have exploded processing all these Bloody emotions,
Ron sat there scratching his scruffy ginger beard staring into nothingness, he felt a weird shivering sensation run through his body and felt the hair on the back of his neck standing up, he knew someone was coming before he heard the leaves rustle, he turned his head slowly not making any quick moves his left hand tracing the wand in his pocket, "Who is it ?" Ron asked his voice cracking because of not talking for so long,
But no answer came, Hermione came into the view climbing the sloping peak awkwardly tubing her arm,
"Hey" Ron said his voice catching in his throat, she was the most beautiful thing he had ever seen,
"Hey yourself" Hermione said with a small smile,
Ron patted the ground next to him motioning Hermione to sit beside him which she did smoothing out her skirt she sat down her legs spread out in front of her,
"Why aren't you in the house" Hermione asked Ron,
"Got a bit crowded, that's all" he said shrugging,
They sat in silence as nobody was ready to speak up about there until he heard Hermione say "beards getting a bit long isn't it" Ron turned to look at Hermione she was looking at him with a playful smile on her face,
"Yeah, I didn't have time to shave at all" Ron said rubbing his neck,
"It suits you" She said blushing slightly,
"It does, D-do you like it then ?" Ron asked stuttering,
"Yes, I do" she said and just like that the uncomfortable tension that had surrounded them when they arrived at the Burrow broke and they both laughed just like they always did when Harry was out at Quidditch practice it didn't matter that why they where laughing it wasn't even that funny but it felt right, Ron went silent for a moment just watching Hermione laugh once again was worth fighting a hundred horcruxes,
"What are we doing Hermione ?" he asked suddenly and regretted it the moment the words had left his mouth because Hermione stopped laughing and was now looking at him with a small frown on her face,
"What do you mean Ron?" She asked clearly worried,
Ron sighed fiddling with the blades of grass on the ground "I mean 'We' Hermione, you kissed me so what are we doing" Ron said,
"We can be together, I mean if that's what you want Ron" Hermione said,
Ron looked up at her for one fleeting second he wanted to forget all this and kiss her right there but he knew it wasn't the right time yet, "Can we ?" Ron asked looking her in the eyes,
Hermione eyes widened a little Ron could swear he saw her lip quiver "Why don't you want to ?" Hermione asked in a shaky voice,
'Of course I bloody want to' Ron screamed inside his head, "The thing – The thing is Hermione, with you its real danger ya know" Ron said swallowing the lump that had formed in his throat, "I mean it would be perfect if we were together, but I fear that my relatively inexperienced heart-I mean, I hadn't even kissed a girl till lavender came along and you know how horribly I botched things up there" He said, "And It's you, I mean we've been friends since we were eleven, I don't want to mess this up"
Ron looked at Hermione to see the tears streaming down her face "you really are an arse Ron Weasley" Hermione said shaking her head, "I Love you Ron, do you even know what that means"
'She loves you ya git, kiss her' Ron's heart screamed, "Why- why me ?" Ron asked,
"Do you really have to ask that Ronald, I can't answer that you have to find that out for yourself" Hermione said,
"I'm not really good with emotions Hermione but please think about it Hermione because if I say it back to you, I mean it for life Hermione so please just think about it" Ron said,
"I've had four years to think about it, you are it for me"
"You are it for me to you know, have been for a long time" Ron said,
"Mhm" Hermione said leaning closer to Ron's face,
Ron closed the distance between them capturing Hermione's lips with his own in a soft kiss they both knew it wasn't a we're gonna die so might as well kiss, it was a promise. Promise that no matter what came next they will face it together,
Hermione broke the kiss gasping for air as she rested her forehead on Ron's, "I love you, Mione" Ron said,
Hermione sighed kissing Ron once again, Ron raised his hand to caress her face as Hermione grabbed his neck pulling him down on her as she laid down on the ground Ron grazed Hermione's lip with his tongue and felt her mouth opening just for him, he gave a throaty moan as he felt Hermione's tongue grazing his own, they laid there kissing each other furiously for the second time in there life just because they could,
After a few moments they laid on their side looking at each other, Hermione was caressing Ron's face her palm making a rustling sound against his scruffy beard, "That was unexpected" Hermione said, Ron could see the blush creeping on her face even in the orange shade of the setting sun,
"Unexpected, brilliant is what it was" Ron said grinning,
"That too" she said laughing but went silent once again , "Ron ?" she asked,
"What ?"
"Promise me something, you won't ever leave me again"
"I promise, I know I left once but- it doesn't matter now I'll tell you someday and maybe you will understand but I will never leave you again"
"I won't either" Hermione said,
Ron leaned in kissing her on the forehead "I love you" he said,
"I love you too" She said,
"still doesn't feel real" Ron said chuckling,
"Well Believe me, it is"
"I believe you" He said, he knew in that moment it wasn't going to be easy but if Hermione was there with him maybe just maybe they would make it through because when you know that you want to spend the rest of you're life with someone you have to start it as soon as possible because it was 'Now or Never'.
