"Hermione your father's here!" her mother's voice rang out and a fully naked Ron jumped off the bed before half running half skipping around the room.
"Oh blood hell, this is it, I'm done for. He's gonna castrate me!" Ron hissed, sounding absolutely terrified and Hermione couldn't help but laugh as he shoved underwear on before pulling his pants up.
"Castrate?" she laughed, not really paying attention, and Ron turned to her, his face pale and full of fear
"Yeah, Castrate. You know he's gonna chop of my….my thing!" he hissed as he shoved his shirt over his head, Hermione climbed out of bed and grabbed his boxer shorts of the floor
"Ronald" she said holding them up with a amused smile on her face, Ron turned round and looked instantly confused at the sight of them, Hermione looked like she was about to explode with laughter.
"You're wearing my underwear" she laughed and Ron's ears exploded as he quickly began to remove his pants, revealing the lacy blue underwear seconds later Hermione threw the shorts at Ron who grabbed them.
"Hermione dear!" her mother's voice rang out again and Ron seemed to freeze in his place "dinner is ready" but Hermione could have sworn she heard a hint of amusement in her voice. Ron had quickly got himself dressed as Hermione seemed to take her time, suddenly their was a knock at the door "Darling, it's your father. Your mother is calling you for dinner." he said, Ron's eyes scanned the room and Hermione could have sworn they lingered on the open window for a few seconds longer than she would have liked.
"You'll be fine" she said, as she threw her shirt on and opened the door revealing Mr Granger stood on the other side, Ron could see his eyes scan the room and resting on the bed which they had forgotten to make, and thus it was a mighty big clue to what the pair had been doing only moments before.
"Nice to see you again Mr Granger" Ron spoke in a voice so high he almost sounded as shrill as Pansy Parkinson. Mr Granger's eyes narrowed dangerously at him as he silently followed Hermione out of the room, having a awkward moment where he almost got stuck between her father and the doorframe.
"What took you two so long?" her mother smiled as they entered the front room to find the table had been elegantly set for dinner. Ron was the first to sit down, and he was joined on his right by Hermione was smiled at him, it seemed like a innocent smile but he could see mischief in her eyes, something he still wasn't used to, ever since they had gotten together she had been a lot more confident, she was still the same old bookworm but while they were alone together she had changed quite abit, not that he loved her any less. As her father sat and he felt that right now, Fred was looking down and laughing his arse of at the situation because Ron would be sat between Hermione and her father who had just sat down next to him, Her mother walked in carrying what looked like a very elegant dinner involving steak, rice and what smelled like hint of garlic. He felt Hermione squeeze his hand with a smile on her face but Ron turned to her father who was looking their hands with a deadly stare and Ron suddenly had the image of his other hand being mutilated by the older man's knife which he held in his hand. Ron gulped and moved ever closer to his girlfriend who he was preparing to jump and hide behind if nessercerry.
"So Ronald" her mother spoke and Ron turned towards her so fast he felt his neck strain "How's your family?" she smiled and Ron smiled back, the first time in a while he could when he spoke about his family "Their good, I think we're finally starting to move on from, you know. All that's happened" he smiled and he saw her smile faultier. They talked about random subjects for awhile, such as how the two got together (it was a very edited version of events in that story, no Krum, no Lavender and certainly not any now or never kisses in the middle of a war zone). They talked about Ron's hope to become a auror and Hermione in the Law department, and they finally came across to talking about the experiences to the war though that was kept quite vague
"So Ronald" Mr Granger said "Hermione mentioned that your little sister Ginny was getting married to your friend Harry, have you got any plans for marriage on the horizon" and with that Hermione looked down and blushed a slight smile at the idea on her face, Ron however missed his mouth with the fork and stuffed a piece of meat up his nose before he began to mutter words which included "well" "I" and "Mother Will Kill"
"Why not, don't you love her?" he said, and a cry of "David!" came from Mrs Granger while Hermione shouted "Dad!", Ron however seemed to have finally gathered some courage "well Mr Granger, I have no plans to marry your daughter yet, after all were only 18 and after everything we've been through I think it'll be good to have a bit of normality in our lives, but yeah, I do hope that someday down the line she will do me the honour of being my wife".
Hermione and Her mother were beaming and Mr Granger stared at Ron completely speechless, Ron decided to claim that as his victory.
