Hermione's P.O.V.
I walked along the corridors with Ron walking beside me in silence. We hadn't spoken a word since we left the common room.
"So," I finally said.
"So," Ron replied, "Are we going to keep up the silence or are we going to talk about… you know."
I didn't respond, embarrassed by what had happened.
"Hermione," Ron continued, "If you want to talk about it, let's talk. If you don't want to talk about it then let's go back to the common room, we're missing the party."
"Is that all you can think about?" I snapped back and began walking away.
Ron's face turned red, "Hermione! What's the big deal?"
I stopped walking and stopped to think about that. I don't really know what came over me. Then I realized I did, it made me upset that Ron would rather go to the party then spend time with me. Thinking about that made me madder and I began to run off. I heard steps behind me as Ron ran after me. Forgetting about the cursed fire, I automatically ran up to the room of requirement, needing somewhere peaceful where I could think. I stood at the wall then realized, the room of requirement would never work again. I turned around and found myself face to face with Ron.
"I'm sorry," he said, "it's just it's weird and I don't know what to think of what happened."
"And I do?"
"Sorry."
"Ronald Weasley, you are the most ignorant, oblivious, self-centered…" I was cut off as Ron leaned in and kissed me.
Ron's P.O.V.
I felt as if there were tiny fireworks going off in my head. I can't believe I just did that I thought as Hermione and I pulled back. She looked up at me, her face unreadable.
"Ignorant am I?" I shot back, "You think I didn't consider what it meant when you kissed me during the battle. Self- centered? You think I haven't thought about what happened to Fred, or whether or not you were okay when we were fighting?"
She opened her mouth to respond but stopped when she saw my frozen expression, she followed my gaze to see a door appear behind her.
"The room of requirement? How is this possible?" She stuttered, forgetting about whatever she was going to say to me.
"I thought it was destroyed."
"Me too."
Hermione took a step forward then stepped back.
"I'm not sure I want to see the damage."
"I'm not either, let's go somewhere else."
"Wimp!" She said before grabbing my hand and pulling me inside. I looked around and saw that the room of requirement was how it had always been.
"I read about some magical artifacts repairing themselves," Hermione said in wonder. "I never considered that the room of requirement might be one of them."
I looked at her unsure what to say when a single mistletoe grew down from the ceiling. I looked at it then Hermione and wasn't sure whether or not I should kiss her. Before I could react more mistletoe grew and pushed us together until our faces were inches apart.
"Don't just stand there Ronald!" Hermione scoffed, then her tone grew lighter, "kiss me."
So I did.
Ginny's P.O.V.
I looked around hoping to see some sign of Harry but now that the celebration had been moved to the common room, every time I did see him, he was surrounded. I finally sat down in an empty chair and sighed. The portrait slid open and Hermione and Ron walked in, hand in hand.
"Where have you two been?" I questioned with amusement.
"Ummm.. places." Ron replied turning red. "I'm gonna go… and find Harry."
"Where were you guys?" And are you together now?" I asked turning to Hermione who nodded.
"I think so," she responded, "and we were at the room of requirement, It hasn't been destroyed by the cursed fire."
Hearing about the room of requirement popped an idea into my head. "Thanks Hermione! You're a genius!"
"What did I do?" she asked with a confused look on her face.
"I'll tell you later!" I exclaimed over my shoulder running to the boys' rooms. I found Harry's invisibility cloak put it in a small bag like Hermione's (one that has a special charm so you can fit tons of stuff into it). Then I ran out the door towards the room of requirement.
