*****

Perhaps you don't have the emotional range of a teaspoon.

The usual response is 'I love you, too' …

You're more like the perfect cookie.

Merlin, you don't love me, do you? Harry was so bloody wrong about all this tell-her-how-you-feel crap.

Cookies are hard on the outside …

I shouldn't have said anything! It's alright -

But soft on the inside …

- if you don't - wait, what are you on about?

You're unemotional on the outside, but all soft and caring on the inside.

Erm, Hermione, where is this going?

I love you too, my perfect Cookie!

[Throws her arms around him.]

Oh. Good.

[Kiss.]

Not that I was worried or anything.

Hmm … my perfect Ron-cookie.

I'm not too keen on that nickname, actually, Hermione. It's not very … manly, is it?

Cookie monster?

Wow. I didn't know love could make you so … hungry.
