"Honestly Ron get dress, and don't go back to sleep! Common Ron, your Mum told breakfast is ready!" she said.

He laid flat on the armchair near the fireplace. Ronald Weasley was sleeping, and not interested to finish his essay in potions. Then Hermione's voice came dreamily into his mind.

"next time there's a ball, ask me before somebody else does! And not in the last resort!" the clearer view of Hermione telling him all those words after the Yule Ball a couple of years past.

He frowned when he heard a high pitched voice waking him.

"Ron! Ron! Wake up! Wake up,Ronald!" the voice said.

But still, Ron wouldn't open his eyes. He was still dreaming about her, about Hermione.

"Ron Weasley, you are the most irresponsible wart I have ever misfortune to meet." she said.

Then an image of Hermione came into his mind. An image he always treasure in his mind, even in his heart.

"Good luck, Ronald!" Hermione said. Then she kissed Ron in his cheek, that made Ron blush.

That kiss in his face made him realize his feelings towards Hermione, his bestfriend, the girl with the bushy brown hair and a really beautiful brown eyes. Then another image came into his mind.

"S-sorry for m-messing up w-with y-your r-robes," Hermione said, after crying in Ron's shoulders.

"Well, ugh, sorry for messing with your hair," he replied to her, who already dried his eyes from tears.

That image was on Dumbledore's funeral. The comfort he gave her when she was lamenting on the death of Dumbledore. All those years, with all those adventures he aclled, but trouble she considered made him realize his love towards his bestfriend, and it keeps on growing until now.

Hermione drew closer to Ron, that she almost heard him whispering.

"Hermione," he whiepered.

"Honestly Ron, if you will sleep all day, you won't finish your essay!" she almost yelled to him.

"Hermione," he keeps on whispering.

"Ron! If you won't open those eyes, I'll-" she said, but something happened.

Even before Hermione could finish her sentence, Ron opened his eyes and drew closer to Hermione's face. His lips met her lips. Hermione was shocked, but she slowly closed her eyes. Then after a few moments, both of their eyes opened and those brown eys met his blue eyes. Then, the both of them realize what was happening between them. Ron removed his lips from Hermione's.

Then, red blush flushed in both of their faces.

"Um- I'm s-sorry-, really I am-," Ron told Hermione who was still looking at him with flush of bright red in his cheeks.

"Um- Well, honestly, do your homework." she told him, removing her eyes from his.

"Yeah, do my homework," he whispered to himself.

Hermione ran to the girl's dormitory upstairs, and Ron ws left alone in the Common Room. For the mean time, he felt he was like gone and the he came into himself again, kissing Hermione. A smile slowly crept into Ron's mouth.

"I love you, Hermione." he slowly whispered.
