"I think Harry's right" said Hermione quietly. Ron couldn't help but notice the stain of mud on Hermione's nose, all he needed to do was."The wands more trouble than its worth," said Harry. "And quite honestly,' he turned away from the painted portraits, 'I've had enough trouble for a lifetime".
The Trio fell silent, all three seemed to be coming to the realisation that it was all over, they had finally done it.
"So what now ?"Ron asked quietly. "Well I think I should find Ginn.. Harry knowing that his relationship with Ginny is a soft subject with Ron looks over expecting to see his best mate upset. Knowingly Ron concedes defeat "It's fine mate, I wonder why she hasn't already burst into the room already looking for you. The trio simultaneously laughed at the same time, for what felt like years they seemed happy, almost relieved. Hermione and Harry were abruptly haltered by the sound of Ron coughing, or what is sounded like trying to get their attention. Harry was the first to react.
"You alright Ron ?" " You sound like you've swallowed another boggart!"Harry chuckled. "Yes Ron is everything ok? "Hermione seemed to be anticipating something that Harry obviously had yet to slowly and deliberately responded "Well .. uh um I um promised myself that after the war if we ALL" taking a side glance at Harry.
"Made it out of this war, i would um" As quickly as Hermione blinked and Ron had made that small yet far gap in between them dissapear
and grabbed a hold of her. "Mione, i can't pretend anymore" Ron stated. "Pretend abou.." and before Hermione could finish her sentence Ron placed a quick but yet passionate kiss on her. And what seemed like a lifetime of fighting, bickering, all the emotions she had ever felt was transfixed into this kiss.
Harry completely dumbfounded by the events replaying before his eyes, decided to go and catch up on some snogging on his own, and find the love of his life. Tiredly making his way down the stairs from Dumbledore's Office he ran into Neville who was sitting with his arms across his legs in a feeble position.
Harry could not feel anything but a bit of sadness at this site and felt obliged to help his friend out. Silently Harry made his way over to Neville "Is everything alright mate ?" Harry whispered. "Oh Harry!" beamed Neville. Surprised with such a greeting Harry was taken aback. "Yeah Im great ! Its just I'm unsure as to what to do". "Oh?" Harry asked still confused as to what was transpiring. "It's Luna Harry, I think I'm in love"
Harry wasn't sure as to what to do. He wasn't exactly the person to talk to about relationships he had Cho, Ginny who he still cared for a considerable amount, but their relationship was undefined and untouched.
"Well uh Neville I.." "It's ok Harry i know you aren't the best when it comes to relationship advice, OH! and that reminds me Ginny is looking for you, and uh Harry if I was you I would find her fast."She looked like she was going to tear what remains of Hogwarts down if she didn't get to you soon, before."
That was all Harry needed to find her. "Thanks Neville ! I'm going to find Ginny!" Harry yelled running for the Great Hall.
This Is what Hermione and Ron had both been waiting for, since The Yule Ball fiasco. Sure they had both had "others" in their lives, but they were meaningless and only to make the other jealous.
Hermione was the first to come out of her dreamy slumber. Only because she could feel Ron pulling away, unwillingly Hermione grabbed Ron's shirt pulling him closer. Ron let go of Hermione's hips, "Mione I think we have scared away" Ron playfully added."Honestly Ronald, Harry is the last person on my mind"
Sensing his opportunity to bring out the fire in Hermione Ron asked "Oh who are you thinking about then Vicky!" At first Hermione thought she may hex Ron to Bulgaria, but saw the glimmer in his eyes. "Yes Ron , i was thinking what a better kisser he is th.. Ron playfully grappled Hermione into a strong bear hug. "Better what ?" laughed Ron. "Better Git" replied Hermione playfully. Suddenly Ron fell quite, "uh Hermione there's something I have to tell you something I should have told you at the Yule Ball"
Knowingly Hermione fell silent, shocked by the emotion Ron was willing to display. "Well you see Hermione I ..
