Winter break was 1 week away. Hermione Granger was snuggled on a armchair reading Hogwarts: A history for the thirtieth time. "Hermione? Are you there?" A voice asked from the opening of the common room. Hermione recognized the voice at one although she couldn't see the voice's owner. "What do youwant?" Hermione asked sternly. Ronald Weasley stepped into image. "Ooh cranky cat!" Ron teased grinning. Hermione ignored him.
"Okay 'Mione what are you so mad about?" Ron asked getting serious. Hermione rolled his eyes. Ron was the whole reason she was mad and he doesn't even know what happened. Ron went on his knees and made a puppy dog eye. Hermione smiled but did not answer him. Ron wouldn't give up and made whining noises. Hermione giggled. "Okay Ronald, I'll tell you why but I'm not forgiving you." Hermione said moving over so Ron can sit. Ron stood up and smiled.
"You know the yule ball during October?" Hermione asked.
"You're still mad about that? I said I was sorry I didn't kno-"
"No, I'm not mad about that. Why didn't you ask me?"
"I did but you got angry an-"
"Why didn't you ask me first?"
"Hermione? What are you saying?" Ron said standing up.
"Ronald Bilius Weasley! I love you!" Hermione said.
"Hermione really?"
"Yes!"
"All those times you said I was stupid, an idiot, or ugly you liked me?"
"Well I only found ou-" Ron pushed Hermione down on the sofa and kissed her and wrapped his arms around her waist. Hermione didn't know what to do but softened up and put her arms around Ron's neck.
"I love you too Hermione Jean Granger." Ron said smiling when they pulled away. Hermione smiled and pulled Ron back into the kiss. "Ron! I just hexed Sna- Oh!" Harry came in but when he saw what was happening he went up to the dormitory muttering something that sounded like "finally." The other Gryffindors followed the same routine that Harry did.
The next morning the fellow Gryffindors found Hermione Granger lying on Ron Weasley's shoulder both asleep. Both had a smile across their face.
