The sun glowed on him as Ron's eyes opened and looked around, but suddenly his eyes gazed on Harry's bed, as it was empty. He realized that Harry must have left for the Great Hall, he sighed and got out of his bed as he headed for the shower and took it quickly. He got dressed and grabbed his messenger bag. He went downstairs from the boys' dormitory on way to the Great Hall for the quick breakfast and he left. Since it was Saturday, He knew that he had the Quidditch game at 2 pm with his Gryffindor teammates. He went to the library every Saturday, which he did not want his friends to know nor find out about since the beginning of the eighth year. He found the secret spot and he started working on the homework since he had so plenty of time before 2 pm and did not know that the bushy girl named Hermione Granger watched him.

~flashback~

In the summer season started, Ron and Hermione have exchanged the letters until she came to visit Ron at the Burrow, Mrs. Weasley happily obliged to tell her that he was probably in his room, she nodded and strode upstairs on way to Ron's room, she opened without knocking when he turned quickly that shocked Hermione, he was half-naked but wore the navy brief-boxer. He has masculine and well-toned body that she never seen before, but she knew that he played the seeker for the Gryffindor team from the Hogwarts since the sixth year. Ron enjoyed watching her drooling at him in awe, he cleared his throat that snapped her out of her mind when she looked at him smirking as her face got red, she stammered "Sorry!" hurriedly and closed the door. He heard that her footsteps went fading as he sighed and shook the head. He picked the new casual clothes that Harry bought for him; he got dressed and went downstairs. Hermione looked up at Ron and blushed and she pretended that she read the book in front of her eyes when Ron sat besides her and whispered in her ear; saying "You look beautiful, Mione." as he sat back, grabbed the Quidditch Magazine and read it casually. Hermione looked shockingly at him and blushed again that made him chuckled when they looked at each other and smiled knowingly.

Few days later, Ron took her to the Diagon Alley for the shopping, he treated her to Florean Fortescue's Ice-Cream Parlor and they enjoyed their time by chatting and teasing each other flirtatiously. Ron decided to surprise her by taking her to her favorite bookshop when she was surprised but smiled, then they went into the bookshop and spent time looking for the books for her. Ron told her that he had some thing to do and will be back to her when she is done then and he went out of the bookshop. He walked across afar away from the bookshop to the jewelry shop, went inside and looked for the prefect jewelry for her. He asked the owner for the assistance to help him find the prefect one, and explained her personalities to the owner when they didn't see the owner's wife was eavesdropping on their conversations. She knew what to do help him find it until she walked to grab Ron's arm and showed the rings that he should look at and he did. He saw the heart shaped ring that would be perfect on her. The owner and wife turned to look at him as he looked up at them questioningly.

"Are you looking for the engagement rings, sir?" the owner's wife asked that caught him off guard as he shook the head and turned to look at the ring.

"No, I'm asking her to be my first real girlfriend. She's my best friend first for 6 years but I fell in love with her since the fifth year. She doesn't know about my feelings for her. I know that she's more like perfect one than I realized in my life." He confessed and smiled when they looked at each other knowingly and smiled.

"That is called the red heart shaped millefiori ring. Millefiori means "a thousand flowers" in Italian is the name used to describe ancient Venetian glass that is filled with floral patterns. The millefiori then looks as if tiny flowers and other details have been painted on them. However, of course that is not so because the patterns are part of the glass. And because of that, each millefiori ring is completely vibrant, unique and glorious." she explained it to him as he nodded and smiled confidently.

"I think I'll give it to her when we celebrate the first anniversary next year. I'll take it!" Ron said and they shook the hands by thanking them for the amazing help, then he shrunk the box, hid it into his pocket, and sighed as he left the bookshop. He saw Hermione waiting outside the bookshop and chuckled as she turned to look at him and sighed. They smiled at each other when he approached and took her hands and finally they walked together on way to the Burrow.

~flashback end~

When the spring season started, Hermione was sitting near the window, studying for the NEWTs in the library, she was frustratingly working on her homework, she sighed and sat back when something caught her eyes quickly, she saw her boyfriend, Ron walking to the table around the corner, far away from her. She watched him pulling his homework and working on it as she smiled and shook the head. Hermione decided that she would not tell anyone about his secret spot. She turned to look out through the window and looked up at the sky that happened to be cloudy; she thought it might be rain anytime soon. She sighed and went back to work on it.

~flashback~

When Hermione and Ron went back to the Burrow after the shopping. They smiled at each other, she asked what he was doing in the jewelry shop, he stammered shyly.

"I …just found something for … Gin's birthday, you know. I was not sure if I can afford it … but don't worry, Mione, I will find a way to buy something for her." Ron said and smiled a bit.

Hermione looked at him and understood that and she said she was going to go upstairs as he nodded. They went upstairs separately.

In Ginny's room, Hermione put the bags away since she secretly bought the books for Ron when it will be his birthday next year, she sighed and decided to take a shower right away so she grabbed her stuff and walked out of the room on way to enter the bathroom. She stripped her clothes off and went fully naked. She started showering and then finished it when she came out of the shower and reached her towel, she heard a gasp, she looked up at the beautiful blue eyes and her eyes went wide.

In Ron's room, he laid on the bed, looked up at the ceiling and thinking about the terms with his feelings for her. He grabbed the small box out of his pocket and opened the lid to look at the ring. He hopes that she will like it and smiled. He sat up, groaned that it was time to take a piss so he went out of his room and walked to the bathroom when he opened the door and gasped at the sight of the beautiful woman that he never seen before like that.

In the bathroom, Hermione watched him looking at her in awe that made her feel uncomfortable, she reached the towel when she startled at the sound of him saying "Don't!", she turned to see him closing the door behind him, he pulled his wand out of the pocket and pointed it to say the silencing charm as she sucked in a breath nervously and stood fully naked. He walked over to her and reached her wet hair into his fingers as they gazed at each other lustfully. He looked at her fully naked body and groaned as she bit her lower lip. As he lifted her chin with a finger, leaned in, and kissed her softly. They kissed few times before they pulled away and smiled shyly. Hermione let him touch her body awhile, he enjoyed touching and kissing her breasts and sucked it as she moaned softly. He stopped sucking it and stood up as she looked up at him curiously. He unbuttoned his jeans, pulling the brief-boxer and jeans down, to release his erection and moving his hand on his large penis. Her eyes went wide at the size of him, long and thick, he moved so he was standing in front of where she kneeled, his penis just inches from her mouth. She looked up at him, saw the need in his eyes, as he got closer and pressed his erection to her lips, and she opened them slowly and took him in. He tasted surprisingly sweet and yet salty as she sucked his tip before taking him as far in her mouth as she could without gagging. He started to move back and forth, as she swirled her tongue around him, before licking down his length. She took him in her mouth again and moved her head back and forth all the while using her tongue on him.

She kept sucking his hard penis that made him squirting his come all into her throat as he moaned her name and reaching to run his fingers into her bushy hair. She felt his fingers running into her hair when she watched his closed eyes and his head was leaning back on the wall and the sounds of his soft moaning made her feel horny. He sat up, pulled her up and close and kissed her passionately as their bodies touching closer, she ran her fingers into his fiercely red hair as same as does he do that to her hair. They kept touching each other and making out until they stopped, panted hard and smiled as their eyes met each other with a full of love and lust.

"Oh god, you are the most beautiful woman I've seen now in my life." he said that made her blushing and giggling.

"Hermione, there's something I want to tell you; I like you a lot. Um, do you … er, fancy me?" Ron asked nervously as she sighed and reaching to twirl the hair on the back of his neck.

"I admit, I fancy you since the third year. I really like you, Ron." Hermione said and smiled.

"The third year?! Wow, as for me, since the fourth year. I saw you came with Krum, I was jealous that you chose him than me, because Krum and I were different. But when you wore the pink wrinkle dress, you were so beautiful. I kept denying my feelings for you ever since but I cannot stop bickering with you because I love it, really." he said as she giggled and he chuckled shyly.

"Ron, you are the one found my spirit, challenged me, engaged me, gave me a reason to laugh, to fight, to love, and to believe. Back there, I wondered about the little boy I had encountered that day on the train, the one with so many insecurities and doubts about who he was and who he would be, grew into a strong, noble, selfless, and compassionate man. I watched it happen with my own eyes. You did it bravely. I was so proud of you and still am, very much so." Hermione said honestly that made him smile widely and hugged her tightly. They pulled away from each other and stared in each other.

"I know we are not ready for the sex yet, but we can snog anytime whenever we want, right?" Ron asked politely as she nodded and they smiled sweetly.

He sighed and pulled his brief-boxer and jeans up. He handed her towel, she dried herself and got dressed and then went out of the bathroom. They walked hand in hand to Ginny's room, they stood shyly but he grabbed her close and kissed her again. They pulled away when he said "Good night" and smiled charmingly and she giggled softly.

~flashback end~

Harry felt the wind behind his back, looked up at the sky as he sighed and sat on the bench at the Quidditch pitch. He looked around and thought of the strategies in his mind. Harry always knew that Ron and Hermione are so perfect for each other. He used to date Ron's sister, Ginny, but decided that they were better off as friends. He still denies that he had a crush on Draco Malfoy and he doesn't know how to handle the feelings on his own. He sighed and thought of Ron and Hermione. He was so happy that Ron and Hermione confessed that they were dating since June, he said it was damn time when they blushed and they hugged happily. He remembered the conversations between him and Hermione in the fifth year before.

~flashback~

Harry woke up from the nightmare, he rubbed the head and sighed when he turned to look at Ron's empty bed and he got puzzled so he looked at the alarm saying "3:10am" and he decided to check on Ron downstairs. He got out of the bed, walked out of the dorm door and looked for him but the sight of Ron and Hermione sleeping separately from each other made him smile, he tiptoed back to the room, grabbed the wizard camera (he bought it from Hermione and Ron for his birthday last summer), and tiptoed quietly downstairs. He walked around over to take a picture of them few times, he sighed and smiled at the sight. He hid his camera inside the robe, walked to Hermione and shook her shoulder slightly.

"Wake up, Hermione, wake up!" Harry whispered, as he made sure that Ron still was sleeping so he did not want him to wake up yet.

"Whaz it" Hermione muttered sleepily as she woke up and looked around and she looked up at Harry smiling.

"What time it is, Harry?" she stretched her arms as he looked up at the clock.

"3:25" Harry said as he looked down at the confusion of her face.

"What's wrong, Hermione?" Harry asked, sitting besides her.

"How did I end up on the couch?" Hermione asked when Harry sighed and pointed to Ron sleeping across Harry and Hermione.

Hermione blushed at the sight of him sleeping on the armchair and smiled. She saw how beautiful he was when he slept by the fire. She realized that he must have had carried her to the couch. She thought "How sweet of Ron. I might return the favor to Ron one day", while Harry stared at Hermione staring at Ron, he gave a small snicker when she turned to look at Harry smirking.

"Don't, Harry!" Hermione said sharply. Harry looked at Hermione and then at Ron so he sighed.

"Why don't you tell him about your feelings for him?" Harry asked her as she shook her head sadly.

"I can't, Ron don't like me like that. I am know-it-all, stubborn girl! Why doesn't Ron get the pretty girl who likes the Quidditch and everything?" Hermione said quietly as she tried not to wake him up.

"Okay, okay … Look why you don't go upstairs and get some sleep?" he stood up off the couch and pulled Hermione as they hugged in the brotherly-sisterly hug.

Hermione turned away from Harry, walked over around the couch but she walked to Ron and gave a bit of kiss on his lips as he did not stir and still snore, that made Hermione looking at him in awe and Harry stifling a quiet laugh. She shook the head, smiling and walked around the couch on way to the Girls' dormitory upstairs. Harry looked down at Ron snoring sleepily and picked the cover that Hermione abandoned on the couch and put it over him. Harry went upstairs to get some sleep.

~flashback end~

He finally finished his homework and sighed quietly, he looked at his watch saying "1:20 pm", he stood up and packed the homework into his messenger bag, then he walked but suddenly something caught his eyes as he saw Hermione, she bit her lower lip while working on something when he sighed and smiled and walked away from the library. He went to the common room and dropped his bag on his bed, he walked around his bed to pick the broom, and he went downstairs from the boy dormitory when the Gryffindor students wished him good lucks and he waved at them and went out of the common room on way to the Qudditch pitch for the game. He went to meet Harry at the tent, greeted him and the other teammates and he went to change the uniform to the quidditch robes and listened as Harry discussed the strategies with them. Harry and Ron looked at each other knowingly and got ready for the game.
