Kinda hit writers block again with this chapter…
But it's interesting so it won't be boring!
Alright, here goes…
Chapter 2
Ron went down to dinner the next day with a stomach full of butterflies.
He couldn't wait to see Hermione.
"Any peas Ronald dear?" asked Mrs Weasly while holding a hot cauldron of peas.
"No thanks, Mum; I'm not that hungry." he replied.
The Weaslys finished their dinner and started on their pudding which was Treacle Tart.
"Any more tart dear?"
"Yes thanks Molly. Ron why are so quiet? You would have been asking for more tart by now." asked his father Arthur Weasly.
"I'm not that hungry, in fact yawn might go to bed…"
"Good night then."
"Night Dad, Mum."
Ron walked quickly up stairs and went up to his bedroom.
He walked over to his desk, got out his holiday homework (something that Hermione would miss) a quill and some ink and started on his essay for Snape.
Ron looked at his watch.
It was 9o'clock. He had been writing for nearly 2 hours and completely lost track of time.
The rest of the Weaslys were probably sleeping or trying to.
He put away his homework, quill and ink bottle and started to get ready.
At around 9:55, Ron started looking around his room until he found a small black box.
He put it in his pocket and walked down the stairs with great stealth.
He opened the front door and walked outside.
"Ron! There you are!" Hermione said walking up to him.
"Hey! Sorry I'm bit late…"
"Do you really think I would care if you were late or not?"
She ran up towards Ron and kissed him on the lips.
"Do you want to go for a walk around the lake?" he said gesturing towards the lake that was just in front of the Burrow.
"Sure, it looks beautiful in the moonlight."
"So how did you get here?" Ron asked.
"Me? Oh, I got Harry to send me his broom so I could fly here."
"I didn't know you could fly a broom?"
"Please Ron, we learnt in the first year! Don't you remember?"
"Oh yeah that's right. You got angry 'cause Harry did it before you!"
"Oh shut up!"
"Come on then!"
They circled the lake a couple of times and then Ron took off at a run with Hermione holding on to his hand.
"Ron where are we-"
Ron stopped running before a moonlit cliff and Hermione stared in awe.
"Oh, Ron… this is so-so beautiful…"
"I thought you'd like it…come here."
He took her close to him and pulled out the small black box.
"Hermione I love you with all my heart and well I'll never see you again so I wanted to give you this…"
He flicked open the box and pulled out and silver diamond ring.
"Ron, you absolutely shouldn't have gone to the trouble…"
"I've been saving up for it since last Christmas. I wanted to give it to you next when I had the right amount of gold but I begged for a discount."
"Ron! You are the most loving giving boyfriend any girl could ever dream of! I love so much!"
She kissed him again on the lips and put on the ring.
"You like it then?"
"Don't be an idiot! Of course I like it! I'll treasure it always…"
They kissed again and then again and again under the moonlight.
They went back to the Burrow holding hands closely together.
"Alright then, I guess this is… good bye." said Hermione.
"Yeah I guess it is… Where's the Firebolt?" asked Ron holding back tears.
"Over there. Don't worry I'll get it. Accio Firebolt!"
"Hermione, what have your parents done with your wand?"
"They've put it away with all my other child hood stuff.
They said I'm allowed it back when I move out if I want to go back to magic."
"You will right?"
"Probably…"
"Hermione, promise me you will come back… to me."
"Ron, I will never forget you… well, good bye Ronald."
"Good bye Hermione…"
And with that and a peck on the check, Hermione mounted her broom and flew away in to the silvery moonlit night.
