Ron and Hermione: Homework
A low fire burned in the common room, giving off a slightly dim glow and illuminating three busy figures.
Harry, Ron, and Hermione were the only ones left in the common room since everyone else had already gone up to bed an hour ago. The only reason they were even there still was because their professors had decided to pile a bunch of essays and other papers on them.
Hermione looked up from her muggle studies essay and glanced over at the two boys. Ron was busy tapping the back of his quill against his chin, staring at his potions essay that so far had nothing written for it, and Harry was lightly dozing, his own potions essay lying blankly in his lap. Hermione quietly giggled before setting her essay down and going over to the armchair that Harry was sitting in with the intention of waking him and telling him to go to bed.
"Harry?" Hermione gently poked Harry, who woke instantly, his potions essay nearly falling off his lap at the sudden movement.
"Yeah?" Harry groggily asked, laying a hand on his essay to keep it in place on his lap.
"You should go to bed. You've been training too hard for quidditch and it seems to be affecting your sleep," Hermione said as she helped Harry gather his books, quills, and paper.
"Okay. 'Night." Harry got up, grabbed his stuff, and left the common room, heading up to the boy's dormitory for bed.
Hermione watched for a few minutes, as did Ron, making sure that Harry was truly gone, before going back over to her chair and getting back to her muggle studies essay.
Moments of silence, of Hermione writing and Ron thinking, passed by before Ron decided to call it a night and began to pack up his books and essays, deciding to head up to bed himself and come back to his potions essay in the morning with a fresh mind.
"Well, 'Night, Hermione," Ron said as he got up from the armchair that he had occupied most of the evening. He grabbed his stuff and began to head towards the boy's dormitory staircase. He was halfway there when he heard Hermione say something from behind him, causing him to turn around.
"Ron, wait!" Hermione exclaimed, quickly setting down her essay for a second time and getting up. She then ran over to where Ron had stopped and, before he could say anything or even protest, kissed him on the lips, shocking Ron.
Ron kissed back after a moment of shock and a few minutes later they broke apart. "What was that about, Hermione?"
"I just wanted you to know how I truly feel about you, Ron." Hermione looked down at her feet, a bright pink blush spreading across her cheeks.
Ron blushed too before lifting Hermione's head back up gently with his hands and kissed her again, the kiss expressing that he felt the same way about her.
A/N: Had fun writing this. Maybe I'll do more like it. Comment if you would like to see more like this in the future.
