Chapter 8
The Burrow creaked and cracked as Hermione made her way up the wooden stair case, the cold air pinched at her naked legs as she reached the top level. As she slowly opened the door the sound of loud synchronised snores filled the room, Hermione tip-toed over to the lump that was a sleeping Harry. Kneeling next to his head she poked his forehead until he awoke choking on a snore.
"What the.." his voice was croaky and quiet, he looked down at his large watch then back at Hermione.
"Harry, can you leave" she asked him and he raised his eyebrows "Please" she added and Harry sighed, he threw back the covers and jumped out of his camp bed. "Someone's expecting you" Hermione told him and winked, Harry smirked and tip-toed out of Ron's bedroom closing the door behind him. Hermione lifted her pyjama shirt over her head and let it fall to her feet, the cold was almost overwhelming and she quickly dived under Ron's warm sheets.
He grumbled as her cold skin touched his, wrapping his arms tightly around her waist he held her close to him.
"Surprise" Hermione giggled and Ron nestled himself under her chin. "I couldn't sleep" she said after a moment, Ron just moaned still half asleep. "Well maybe I should go" she said after another moment of silence, and then Ron began to nibble at her collar bone. A little victory smirk drew across her face as she began to play with the tussles of hair on the back of his neck. Ron's pecks travelled up her neck and to her lips and he began to kiss her passionately, his hands explored her body and she never felt so safe. Ron raised Hermione's hands above her head and held them at the wrist, Hermione bit his bottom lip and Ron groaned. Hermione giggled then pulled away from his kiss.
"Wait...Ron...Please" she said in-between his kisses, Ron put most of his weight onto her and Hermione wrapped his legs around his waist. "I just wanted to say...Thanks" she smiled sweetly at him and touched his jaw line.
Ron licked his lips and chuckled; he lowered his head and kissed her neck again.
"Well...I should do more for you, if this is how you pay me" he said and they both laughed. "Now" he quickly looked down at his watch "we have 3 hours, and I'm not wasting another minute"
His crystal blue eyes darted frantically from each end of the busy terminal to the other, he gripped Hermione's hand as he watched families in matching outfits skid across the high shined marble flooring. He stared as mothers asked their children "Did you remember your passport?" and the small kids patting their clothing down in desperation. Hermione searched the large message board looking for their flight information ignoring Ron's tugs on her hand.
"Why couldn't we use Floo Network?" Ron asked trying to catch Hermione's constantly moving eyes.
"Death Eaters are still patrolling some, it's too dangerous" she explained not taking her eyes off the fast-moving board. "Okay gate 27, terminal C" she said to herself and looked around for some directions. "This way" she tugged on Ron's wrist and pulled him toward the pair of escalators. They ascended to the next level where six elevators stood.
"I think it's...This one" Hermione stepped in front of the furthest set of doors and pressed the up arrow. They stood in the large silver box with one other couple, who had pressed the floor before theirs, Hermione sighed.
"So these ari-er-o"
"Planes, aeroplanes" Hermione corrected
"Right, Dad said they don't use" he lowered his voice and spoke in Hermione's ear "Magic" he glanced over his shoulder to the now snogging couple who weren't at all interested in their conversation.
"Ronald, it's perfectly safe" she inched closer to Ron to allow the other couple to step outside the metal doors. "More people are killed playing Quidditch then in plane crashes" she informed him and then took his hand as the elevator announced they reached their floor.
Ron stood in his dirty white socks and held the back of his jeans up with his hand, as he watched his belongings travel along a belt.
"Will I get them back?" he asked a rather large bald security assistant.
"Yes sir, just on the other side" he pointed toward a metal arch way which a man was currently stepping through, then Ron's heart skipped as the arch made a sort of screeching noise.
"Don't worry Ron, it's just precaution...do as he says" Hermione said placing her hand on his shoulder-blade pushing him gently toward the metal arch. As he waited he watched as his boring tray full of his clothing travelled through a sort of tunnel, maybe they were going to clean it. He felt a sudden heat at the back of his neck when he stood facing the arch, praying it would make that noise again and hoping it wouldn't hurt him. He opened one eye and he was through, a rather confused woman stood holding his possessions.
"Come on Ron, that was the easy bit" Hermione laughed and grabbed his forearm. They entered a larger room that was filled with loud open front shops with gadgets and gizmos just asking to be played with. Ron gulped as he took his new wonderland.
"What do we do now?" Ron asked gawping at the restaurants he'd just spotted.
"We wait" Hermione sighed.
"Honestly, you only had breakfast two hours ago" she said as they were seated in an already busy burger restaurant. Ron merely smiled at her as he grabbed a large colourful menu, Hermione rolled her eyes and grabbed one too.
"Seen anything" she asked him after a minute or so, Ron scratched his chin and Hermione noticed he'd grown out his stubble.
"Double bacon looks good enough" he said coolly and Hermione rolled her eyes and laughed. "You do that too much" Ron said placing his menu back into the stand.
"What?" she asked and Ron immediately straightened his back and rolled his eyes and laughed at his own imitation.
"Don't make me have to do it then" she replied and Ron took her hand,
"Excited" he asked rubbing his thumb over her knuckle.
"Very much, just a tad nervous I guess" she admitted quietly looking down at both of their hands. They were then interrupted by a tall blonde girl with a high pony tail and carrying a notepad.
"Can I get you guys anything?" she asked in a rather too upbeat tone.
"I'll have just a bowl of chips and he'll have the double bacon" Hermione smiled and handed her both of the menu's.
"Any drinks?" she asked and Ron frowned at Hermione, he doubted they sold Butter Bear here.
"Two Cola's" Hermione quickly said and the waitress quickly scribbled on her notepad then scurried back off toward the back of the restaurant. "Don't worry you'll like it" Hermione said noticing Ron's odd expression. In that moment Ron's stomach made a deep and loud rumble noise from the bottom of his stomach and he chuckled.
"Thank God there's food on the plane" Hermione said laughing at Ron.
"There's Food on the plane!"
Ron's knuckles were bright white as he gripped the arm of his seat, Hermione was fiddling with the seat belt around her waist.
"Hun, Are you okay?" Hermione asked placing her hand onto Ron's, his eyes averted from the runway tarmac to her hazel eyes. He held his breath as the plane reached the highest speed and left the earth behind them.
"You positive this tin can is safe?" He asked glancing around the cabin, Hermione smiled at her boyfriend.
"I promise"
According to Hermione the flight was long and boring, however Ron was having the time of his life. He currently had a large pair of headphones wrapped over his ears as he watched an action movie, from the small screen behind the seat in front.
"This is bloody brilliant" Ron exclaimed pointing at the screen and tapping Hermione's arm.
"Shhhhh Ron" Hermione whispered glancing at the other passengers now staring at them.
"What?" Ron said loudly, Hermione grabbed the headphones and pulled them over his head.
"Your shouting" she laughed and placed the headphones onto the small seat tray.
"Sorry" the tips of his ears beginning to turn red, he looked out of the small window, it was dark outside now.
"Maybe we should get some sleep" Hermione suggested and Ron noticed her eyes were tired and puffy. "Can't say I had much sleep last night" She giggled and Ron shrugged.
"What can I say" he laughed and lifted his arm rest to wrap his arm around her shoulders; Hermione rested her head against his broad chest and listened to his deep heart beat.
"Could you get that light?" Hermione barely mumbled and pointed to the individual switch above Ron's head.
"Anything" Ron replied and flicked the switch.
"I love you Ron" she said softly already half unconscious, Ron stroked her hair out of her scrunched up face and kissed her forehead.
"Love you"
