Hermione woke to a familiar hand running through her hair. She opened her eyes, now realizing she had fallen asleep while trying to regain composure after that intense sex adventure. Running through the streets of London gasping for air, ferociously kissing and clawing at her boyfriend's body really wore her out.
Looking up at Ron, she realized he must have passed out too noticing his face wore the familiar signs of recently waking.
"Hey love"
Ron's raspy tired voice sounding so pleasant to Hermione's ears.
"Ron...thank you so much for our date. It obviously meant a lot to you too, judging by how amazing you looked and the effort you made to just enjoy our special dinner. I was almost sure you'd rush me home."
He smiled at her remembering how he HAD wanted to quickly finish eating and get her in his bed but his patience did pay of. Now he lay in bed with her wishing he could turn back time to repeat everything.
"what means a lot to you, means a lot to me Hermione, your happiness is my priority"
At these words, Hermione reached up a hand to cup his face while gently rubbing her thumb in small circles. She marveled at his beauty, it seemed as if every time she stared at him she fell even deeper in love. With every kiss, touch and breath he placed on her skin he was adding more love in her already engorged over flowing heart.
Ron's eyes suddenly popped open. Immediately feeling wide awake
"I almost forgot"
He exclaimed as he sat up feeling a sudden cold breeze when having to untangle her soft warm legs from his. Taking his jacket, he reached deep inside his pocket (thankful he had learned Hermione's extension charm) and pulled out a box, taking a second to feel relief at it's unspoiled condition having survived the wild ride to bed. He looked over at her with an excited twinkle in his eyes.
Hermione stared at the beautifully decorated box assuming Ron himself had painted the roses and vines since she had recently discovered he was a very talented artist. She didn't understand why he wasn't open about his talent but deciding now was not the right time to bother him she simply smiled.
"turn to your side love" Ron coaxed at his suspicious Hermione
"alright..." she responded, a bit doubtfull but mostly just eager to know what he was up to.
Now on her side, Ron kissed her cheek and turned his attention to his well thought out gift. He opened the box, reached inside and pulled out two small ivory candles using his fingers to gently and quickly pinch the tip causing them to instantly grow a delicate flame.
"From this box, you'll be able to infinitely pull out two ivory candles. They will appear on their own, sensing when the previous two have been used up"
Ron continued to explained as he bent over Hermione's body to set them down on the small table.
"They will only light at either your touch or mine. No others"
Hermione wanted to turn towards him but Ron insisted she keep laid to her side happily pulling out the "patience is virtue" card she constantly threw at him when he was being impatient.
Ron reached in the box again now pulling out a small bottle.
"this is massage oil"
As Ron began to explain he placed a bit of the oil onto his hands and began rubbing Hermione's back.
"not just any massage oil, it's special"
Removing his hands waiting for the effect
Hermione gasped in pleasure at the sudden sensation of Ron's kisses traveling over her back that had been touched by the oil, confused if it was really him, since the kisses each felt distinct and real, even the warm wet feel of the tip of Ron's tongue apparent on her skin.
Ron gave a satisfied smile as he leaned to kiss her lips, dismissing her confusions.
"its enchanted with my kiss and like the candles will replenish when low so you will never run out, but different from the candles, only your skin can feel its magic not mine nor anyone else"
Hermione grinned at her boyfriends clever gift. He never ceased to amaze her.
Ready to thank him properly, she turned over wanting to fall in his arms but was gently stopped by Ron's hands. He stared at her, his eyes glowing beautifully under the candle light
"There's one more"
Both now looking down at the box, he pulled out another bottle. This one thinner and filled with liquid that held a subtle glow.
"memories?" Hermione recognizing the distinctly longer glass bottle
Ron smiled and nodded
"a bit different though. I made it so it's possible to drink"
Hermione looked at him waiting for more explanation sensing he wasn't finished
"drink it before bed or whenever you can spare a nap, since it's meant to work while you sleep. Drinking it will let you relive a random memory of us, though only a dream, you'll be able to feel everything exactly as it was. All of your senses will be in perfect tune with the memory. Since I made this gift on my own, it currently holds memories of us I chose, but starting now you'll be able to place any memory you'd like."
Ron smiled as Hermione immediately reached for her wand.
Concentrating, she placed her wand at her temple and pulled out the beautiful memory of last night. Ron was Holding the glass bottle as Hermione placed a hand over his and let the glowing memory flow from the tip of her wand to the bottle, watching in astonishment as it went from an airy string to a liquid form.
"This too will never run out. Once the memory is inside, it will forever be held."
Hermione stared in pure adoration at Ron, feeling tears build in her eyes at the beautiful gifts he had given her. He always surprised her, sometimes by the things he'd say, or the effort he'd put into things she knew he only did because she liked them, the date for example with the fuss of dressing up and pretending to be full and satisfied with the small portions served at high end restaurants. This time though, the surprise had been overwhelming. The thought of him sitting alone,meditating on what to give her, storming up memories of their relationship so far...Hermione realized there was so much more to Ron she still hadn't seen.
"Ron, I love you so much. The gifts are incredible...you used some pretty advanced magic"
"it was bloody complicated, but I knew the headache was well worth it." Ron's face revealing how frustrated he really must have been at the complicated spells he had hours to get right.
"Ron?"
Hermione suddenly realizing a detail.
"we spend every possible moment together. These gifts are LOVELY but I can't help but feel they seem like appropriate parting gifts...are you going somewhere?"
Ron slightly smiled. He was in love with a smart witch. Of course he had expected her to catch on. Ron began the talk he knew they needed to get over with sooner or later.
"well, seeing as we are moving forward in this relationship and your first day at the Ministry is growing closer, I decided now is the right time for me to take up the job as an Auror. I'll have to be trained up again, maybe at times having to be away from home days at a time especially when I begin receiving more missions so I want you to have things to keep you from missing me too much and not forgetting whose lover you are." Ron half joked, knowing she could never forget.
Hermione's face turned slightly disappointed. She had forgotten all about the plan they had made to keep a year to rest after the war and give well deserved focus to their relationship. She was already due in 2 weeks at her 'on hold' job at the Ministry as Head in the Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures, and Ron was welcome to begin his Auror training anytime he wanted. Although both would be working in the same building, they were in complete different floors, working complete different schedules. Hermione's being a solid 9-5. Ron's being generally the same but surely turning into an on call job the better he got.
"sweetheart?" Ron gently spoke, sensing her change in mood he reached his arms to pull her into a loving embrace
"we'll work it out you'll see, in time we'll have a perfect schedule set up"
He moved his face to fit perfectly in her neck inhaling the intoxicating scent of her, attempting to get her mind off work, he scattered small pecks throughout her neck
"Ron?...what about while you're away? Don't think I'm not aware of how Auror men are, indulging in foreign women as often as they can spare 5 minutes and drinking away at pubs to ease the stress of a mission"
At this, Ron moved his head to look directly in her eyes, astonishment clear on his face. Sure they had the privilege to travel frequently, but not everyone was like that. The ones who became respectable, known and well paid Aurors were never seen involved in any of that filth and Ron was definitely aiming for the title of respectable and looking forward to being well paid.
"after YEARS of wanting you, loving you and dreaming of the day you'd finally be mine, you think I'd trade it all for a few drinks and wenches? Never. You very well know my eyes are only for you, no other women exist for all I care. Well except mum and sometimes Ginny exists...I guess"
Ron tried injecting some humor to cause Hermione a smile, Hermione merely acted as if she didn't even hear the attempted humor. She kept at her worries.
"but you'll be far from home. DAYS at a time. What gift have you made yourself to remind YOU whose lover you are?"
"Hermione, honestly get those thoughts out your head. I could very well put some bloody ridiculous thoughts in MY head for example, the damn dress code at the Ministry? Skirts. Dresses. You know very well how good you look in those. And what about the office men? Fucking sexual beasts they are. The annual Christmas parties?" (...shit) "the late night birthday parties?" (...fuck) "The wild desperate office women constantly looking to get attention by any willing man, corrupting every young new innocent girl only to pester them to join in and indulge in all their fun" (fuuuuck)
During his sudden ramble, Ron realized he hadn't though about any of this. It all hit him at once, now understanding Hermione's worries.
"Ron, you know me. When I have work to do my mind is solely focused on getting it done as best possible. I wouldn't dare indulge in anything, ESPECIALLY not in that filthy muck."
"so what am I? A filthy slacker? I want to work hard to be able to keep us financially secure. I want to get out of the burrow. Take you to a new home, marry you as soon as possible. I wouldn't dare risk losing you. Without you I'd have no reason to even work because when it comes down to it, everything I do and want to do is for you...for us for OUR future"
Ron now stared at her deeply, trying to show every ounce of sincerity he possessed in him through his eyes.
Hermione finally smiled. She realized all she could really do was trust him and trust in the strength of their love. She tried to fully push the negative thoughts out of her head. As much as she wanted to keep discussing the issue of how it wasn't HIM she didn't trust. It was the women and the influences of others she didn't trust. But understanding Ron was solely interested in keeping her happy she simply let go of her worries. Instead she decided proper thank you's were in order, she hadn't forgotten those beautiful gifts.
She moved her body over his, straddling him and wrapping her arms around his neck, comfortably leaning her forehead against his.
"I love you so much Ron"
She whispered to his lips, gently brushing them as she spoke
"I love you too. so much more Hermione"
Ron closed his eyes and moved in to take her into a passionate kiss, tasting her and letting all of his senses be drowned in her.
He slowly began running his hands up and down her back and sides especially loving the curves of her hips. She parted away and began kissing his neck leaving a few bite marks suddenly feeling empowered at the sight of the markings, he was HERS only and eternally HERS.
Ron now growing more aware that the only thing separating his growing erection from receiving attention was the thin scrunched up sheet she was sitting on he Placed his hands on her arms, giving a slight budge implying for her to move up slightly. When she did he ripped away the sheet and had to part away from her lips to let out a groan and the sudden contact of his hard member against the warm skin of her thighs.
"round two" Ron managed to grunt.
Hermione smiled against their kiss, too excited to speak. To her surprise, in one fluent motion he lifted her up again and pushed her back down to bury himself deep inside her
"god Ron, what happened to foreplay?"
"fuck that. In a couple weeks I might not be able to make love to you whenever I want. I'm taking all I can for the next few days...shiiit Hermione I'm so deep"
Hermione moaned In agreement. They definitely needed to have their fill before they joined the work force.
Ron groaned, accentuating each word with a thrust
"fuck. Hermione. This. Feels. So. Good."
Hermione couldn't even speak, her moans were all that could escape her lips, this surely the best position they had discovered so far.
Ron thought nothing could make this perfect moment any better but quickly proved himself wrong as he looked up at her wild hair, he began to run his fingers through her scalp and then grasped her wild curls pulling slightly, absolutely loving the way she let her head tilt back as she cried out in satisfaction and a slight erotic pain. Then Ron let his hungry gazed move down feeling himself harden even more at the sight of her perfect tits, bouncing with each powerful thrust he gave.
"yeh hermione. oh fucking HELL I'm close. Finish for me love, scream for me" he groaned as he moved one of his hands from her hair down to where they were joined, having to rush her knowing he was close to his climax, he rubbed desperately at her swollen nub while hungrily biting and licking at any skin he could reach with his mouth.
Almost instantly Hermione let herself go. Letting her body be taken over by pulse after pulse of pleasure ripping through her body. Hearing her cries of pleasure and feeling her tightening and throbbing against him, caused him to tip over the edge giving his final hard deep thrusts ensuring he milked himself dry.
A new memory to add to the bottle was born.
