Chapter eight

Knees of my heart

Ron watched his sister depart, realizing she had planned this perfectly.

I've got a question for you

He sat down across from Hermione. As usual a book lay before her.

"'MIone, I have a question."

Please grant me an interview

Hermione looked up from the book, not daring to dream what he might ask.

Don't want to read it in a magazine

Don't want to see it on the silver screen

Don't let the craziness tear us apart

"Why are girls so mysterious?" he asked.

I'm down on the knees of my heart

Down here on the knees of my heart

Hermione gave a mental sigh. He really was dense. Even Draco Malfoy could see she was head over heels.

"Ron, I have something serious I want to discuss."

This comes from deep in my soul

Ron gave his famous deer in the headlights look as though to say "I thought this was serious?"

Your sweet love has taken control

Hermione reached over and took his hand. "I really like you, Ron."

I'll swim across the ocean if you tell me so

Take you to the jump up if you want to go

He smiled shyly. "I like you too Hermione. Now about Ginny.."

It's never-y too late to make a brand new start

Hermione gave a little screech and slammed her head against the table. Ron looked around, trying to descern the cause of her agitation.

I'm down here on the knees of my heart

Down here on the knees of my heart

His eye caught on the corner of a picture protruding from her book. Curious he looked over and took it out.

Whoa how I will sing

If you give me everything

It was a picture of him and her taken over the summer. In the picture he shoved her palyfully. He noticed the look in her eyes, something he had missed before. She cared. Truly cared. as he did.

I live for the day

When there's nothing in our way

He looked up at her again. On impulse he reached out and took her hand. She looked up at him.

"Mione," He asked hesitantly, "Will you be my girlfriend?"

Hermione stared at him.

I will be waiting tonight

You'll find my boat by the light

"Yes, " She whispered.

"I'll wait as long as I have to. But, I really love you."

"Yes," She said, louder.

I'm gonna show you what my love can do

Out on the ocean all alone with you

"What?" Ron asked, sure he was hearing wrong.

She smiled up at him. "Yes, Ron. I'd love to date you."

Then she leaned across and kissed him.

We'll find a desert island on an ancient chart

Take me from the knees of my heart

Take me from the knees of my heart

Take me from the knees of my heart

Take me from the knees of my heart

A/N: sorry about the delay on this. I'm putting chapter nine up as well, to make up for it.
