"I'm pretty sure I know the answer but I'll ask anyway, Hermione Jean Granger, will you go out with me?" Ron asks me as he laughs a little. "I don't know Ronald… "I say kiddingly "Of course" I smile and look away. "Since when did you…?" I ask awkwardly. "6th" He says awkwardly back. "Oh…" I say before I hear the door open. We turn and see Ginny. "Called it!" Ginny yells back to someone, probably George. George walks to the doorway and says "Continue." I look at Ron blush and then look at George.
"Leave" Ron says sternly. "Actually, Mom wanted to tell you she had made a cake for dessert and she wants us all downstairs. Ron grabs my hand and we walk down the stairs. We sit down next to each other as everyone double-takes at us as we eat our cake. "Nice cake mom" Ron says predictably. "Yeah, Ron is there something you would like to tell us?" Mrs. Weasley asks. "Nope" Ron says. I kick his foot and he looks at me. "Oh yeah" Ron remembers and then looks around. "Well, spit it out."
"Right. Well um Hermione and I are kind of together now" Ron tells the Weasley family. The entire family sighs and in their own way shows a sign of relief. "Finally" Mr. Weasley breathes. "We've been waiting forever for you two." He finishes. "Yeah well if you wouldn't mind, I'm going to take my girlfriend here for a walk." Ron says standing up. He grabs my hand and I stand up with him.
"I'm calling it now. The two of them's lips are going to be as swollen as Harry and Ginny's at breakfast this morning." George yells to everyone. "Shut it George before I shut it for you." Ron yells back. "C'mon" I tug at Ron's hand and I pull him out into the garden.
"Why did you want to take me for a walk?" I ask him. "Two reasons. 1. Privacy and 2. I have to show you something." Ron says swinging my hand. "Good enough for me!" I say laughing. "Is Hermione Granger actually trusting Ronald Weasley?" he asks. "I don't know what's gotten into me but I still have the urge to read!" I say back.
The feeling of holding Ron's hand is surreal. I have wanted it for a while and I don't always have the best luck except for the miraculous event that I'm still alive at the moment. "Ok we are almost there" Ron says. After about only 2 minutes Ron stops. "Close your eyes!" Ron tells me. We go through a couple of trees and Ron stops again. "Open" Ron whispers. I open my eyes and see a little pond with a waterfall. Rocks and sand surround the pond. There are fish circling the pond and little creatures I've never seen but pretty sure I read about crawl among the rocks.
"Ron… it's beautiful." He hugs me from behind and kisses my cheek. "When did you find this?" I ask curiously.
"Well before I could go to Hogwarts and when school breaks happened I wasn't payed attention too and I got fed up so I would leave for hours at a time and come here. Then when my magic started to come out, the waterfall started coming together and the fish would do crazy things and this place became my home away from home.
"Ron, it's great." I turn to him and look in his eyes. Then everything just clicked and we both leaned in and started to kiss. We kiss lightly for a little while and then break apart for air. "It's getting late we should probably head back" I whisper. We join hands and walk back to the burrow in silence.
