Chapter 8: Christmas Part 2
"What the hell just happened?" Harry was scratching his head dumbfounded. He took his glasses off and cleaned them with his shirt before putting them back on.
"I think you know what happened, Harry." Ginny gave Harry an "are you serious" look. She walked over to him and fixed his messy hair, attempting to settle it down.
"Yeah, I do. It's just weird you know? I mean, they're my two best friends. We're like brother and sister to each other. I'm still getting used to it!"
"I know you are, Harry. Ron is probably still trying to get used to us dating let alone the fact that you and I have been doing it together! You just don't need to think about it, and you don't have to listen to Ron talk about it. I know he'll want to brag. Just tell him you don't want to hear it. He'll lay off."
Harry adored Ginny. He looked at her with this look of admiration in his eyes. All he could think about was how beautiful she was. He was happy to call her his fiancé.
Hermione lay in Ron's arms under his old Chudley Canons blanket. "That was better than expected!" Ron said as he stared at the ceiling.
Hermione took offense by this comment. "Are you saying you didn't think I would be good?"
"No! I meant, I thought you would be good. I didn't expect you to be brilliant!" Ron turned and looked at Hermione who was smiling.
"Why thank you, Ronald. I must say the same thing goes for you!" Hermione looked back at him. Their eyes met and Ron rushed in for a kiss. He got on top of Hermione and they started all over again.
An hour later Ron and Hermione were getting dressed into their pajamas. "Remind me to save this blanket forever! I seem to get lucky under it!" Ron joked.
"I will. We can use it as our bedding when we live together." Hermione smiled.
"And when will that be, might I ask?" Ron towered above Hermione as he buttoned up his shirt.
"Whenever you want. As long as I'm done with school."
"So, this summer, then? I can do that!" Ron sat on his bad as he pulled his pants up.
"Are you sure your ready?" Hermione looked kind of nervous.
"Absolutely. Living with my best friend and the woman I love, it can't get much better than that!" Ron smiled. They both finished getting dressed before Hermione left to go to Ginny's room. She was ready to tell her everything.
