Ron and Hermione
Chapter 4
It was a couple days after the party and Ron was in his bed staring at the ceiling. It was 11, and Ron had felt awful for what happened, for making Hermione cry. She shouldn't have gone with McLaggen. Ron thought that since he broke up with Lavender, Hermione would forgive him, and then decide to spend the rest of the party with him, that was his brilliant plan, but it was Hermione, she wouldn't stand down. He looked over at Harry, he was sound asleep. It was 11:02, maybe he should go to sleep too.
The following morning Hermione woke up, and her eyes were sore, probably from crying so much last night. She got dressed and brushed her teeth, then went downstairs. She found Ron sitting in an armchair alone,everyone else must have gone down to the great hall. What happened last night was really upsetting, Hermione has read many fairytales and stories, In some books when the man has done something wrong, and then apologizes, the woman runs into his arms, looking like an idiot. Hermione wasn't this stupid, she won't let Ron make a fool of her, she's stronger willed then he thinks.
"Morning." Ron said weakly. Hermione didn't respond, she just stared, arms crossed, right at Ron. "Look, Hermione, I'm really sorry about last night, I swear, I didn't realize..." Ron didn't finish. "Look Ron, I'm not forgiving you right away because you really set me off last night," "Yeah, I deserve it Hermione, I just... I really like you Hermione." Said Ron softly. Hermione softened up just a bit. "I like you too Ron, but it wasn't just what happened last night, me and you, we've fought a lot, and its just going to get, complicated, and its going to take some time to get used to, and with Harry and school, its just hard, i'm sorry Ron, but ask me again when some time has passed." Hermione said. "Yeah, I get it, i'm just sorry, and maybe we should go eat something." Ron laughed. "But remember Ron," Hermione stepped towards him, and on tiptoes, she slowly kissed him on the cheek. "ask me again, a little later." Hermione stepped away and smiled. "Now, lets just forget about what happened, and go eat." Said Hermione. She went to the great hall, Ron followed.
