Hey everyone. Thanks for the comments. They really help. I have a new story up by the way.
Hermione sat in the common room reading a book. Ron walked in and sat down next to her. She continued to read, and Ron sighed. He grabbed the book out of her hands, looking at it curiously.
"Hey!" she said.
"What is it with you and books?" he said, examining the book like there was some secret in it.
She rolled her eyes and reached for the book. Ron stood up and so did Hermione. He held the book up to his face, still searching for something. Hermione tried to get it again, but every time she did, Ron moved it higher so she couldn't reach.
"Come on Ron!" she whined.
"Oh, did you want this?" he asked innocently, still holding the book out of her reach.
She pursed her lips and put her hands on her hips.
"Hermione, the ball is tomorrow." he said.
"… and?" she said, not understanding what he was trying to say.
"I need another lesson." he said simply.
Hermione looked around the common room. There were at least twenty people in there. Wait… their whole year of Gryffindors were there, chatting in a corner.
"Right now?" she asked nervously.
"Right now."
"Right here?"
"Right here."
He took her hands in his and walked a little bit away from the couch. He moved one of her hands to his shoulder and the other in his hand. Hermione let go and put her hand on his shoulder and grabbed Ron's hand with the one that he put on his shoulder.
"Oops." he said, moving his free hand to her waist.
She smiled and started to move. Ron looked down at feet, making Hermione stop. She tilted his chin up to look at her again.
"Either you like your feet or you don't like me."
"I don't like you."
Hermione looked taken aback. Tears filled her eyes and she tried to walk away. Ron wouldn't let her go keeping her in position. A few tears slid down her face as she turned to look at him.
"I love you."
Hermione stopped.
"What?" she asked, shock overtaking her.
"I don't like you, I love you."
Now she smiled through her tears as Ron started to lead her in the dance. The Gryffindors stared at them as they danced. Most were happy for them, but there were a few that were not.
Lavender stared ruefully at Hermione as they danced.
"That should be me!" she said indignantly to Parvati.
Parvati ignored her, since she had heard this many times before. Lavender swept from the room, wanting to hit something.
Hermione saw Lavender leave, but didn't care.
'He loves me.' Hermione thought, over and over.
They had lost track of time, dancing around the room. They finally came to a stop, still smiling.
"I love you too." she whispered.
He smiled and kissed her. They only broke off when they heard talking behind them. They turned to see Harry and Ginny staring at them. Hermione let go of Ron immediately. They just stared at each other, then Hermione walked to her dormitory.
"Thanks a lot you two." Ron said sarcastically.
They both stayed silent, so Ron went to Hermione's dorm.
He knocked, but there was no answer. He walked inside to see Hermione wearing an orange shirt and pajama pants. Ron walked up behind her slowly.
"Is that my Chudley Cannons shirt?" he asked, smirking.
Hermione jumped and turned around. She Ron and blushed deep red.
"That is my Chudley Cannons shirt. I was wondering where that went."
"Do you want it back? I can go change."
"No, it looks better on you than it does on me."
She smiled and walked over to her bed.
"Can I stay with you tonight?" he asked.
"Sure."
He crawled in next to her and wrapped his arms around her.
"Night 'Mione."
"Good night Ron."
This was pretty much a time filler so it wouldn't seem too rushed. Please review anyways!
