Hermione woke to the sound of loud voices, clanks, and bangs coming from the kitchen. She sleepily walked down the stairs her eyes half open. Once she got to the kitchen, she saw everyone in their respective places; Harry and Ginny on the couch, talking, Ron helping his mother make breakfast, and so on. "Morning, luv." Ron said noticing Hermione, giving her a kiss on the forehead. "Morning." She beamed.
Everyone seemed to stop what they were doing, staring at Ron and Hermione's actions. They were embraced in a hug. Her arms around his waist and his arms around her back. "Since when?" asked Ginny to Harry pointing at the two. Harry shrugged.
Breakfast was loud- as usual. Everyone was talking at the same time. 'Crazy, this family. How lovely.' Hermione laughed to herself. Once breakfast was finished Ron and Hermione took a walk in the garden hand in hand.
"Ron," Hermione said quietly. "Yes luv?" he asked. "Can we talk?" she inquired motioning to a spot under an oak tree. "Sure." They sat down, her head on his shoulder.

"Well, we're together now, so I can forgive you. But if you ever hurt me like that again-" she jokingly scolded, but he cut her off with a passionate kiss. "Then I'll do nothing." She said dreamily, still closing her eyes after they broke apart. "I love you, 'Mione." He told her truthfully. "Love you too!" she responded getting up. Hermione helped Ron up from his place on the grass. "Race ya!" She yelled excitedly running around the garden.
Eventually, Ron caught Hermione and pinned her down. Both were laughing and breathing hard. He planted a shower of kisses on her lips and neck. Little did they know who was watching…
