Chapter 9: Getting Harder

I went into the kitchen to fix myself some tea. Ron was in the kitchen delving through the refridegrator. He only had on a towel. A toothbrush was hanging out of the corner of his mouth. I felt my temperature begin to rise when thoughts of ravishing Ron raced through my mind.

He turned around to look at me, "Good mornning 'Mione."

"Morning", I said. My voice was choked. Why does he have to look so- shaggable. The smell of him, it was so- I shuddered. Thank Merlin he couldn't see me.

"So what do you have planned for today? Today's my day off, so I think I'll just have sex", said Ron. I looked up at him.

"What?", I asked.

"I said I'll just relax", he said. He looked at me for a moment, shook his head, and went back to searching the refridgarator.

"Oh. Sorry. I plan on doing the same", I said. He took out a small bottle of grape soda (something Harry introduced him to). I watched him as he chugged it down. His hair was still wet, and his body was a little pale. His shoulder's were broad and smooth looking. His legs were so long that the towel was barely reaching his knees. I couldn't stop myself from thinking of what was underneath-

"WOULD YOU PUT SOME BLOODY CLOTHES ON!", I exclaimed. Frustrated with how turned on I was getting without him even touching me. "Please."

He put down the bottle of soda and looked at me as if I told him Fred and George were reserved and calm. Then he began to smirk.

"Why?", Ron asked. Damn him for teasing me.

"B-because I-I'm afraid you might get sick", I said lamely.

"I didn't know seducing you was considered an illness", Ron said. He continued to drink his soda. I opened my mouth to respond but nothing came out. He only smirked and took my hand and kissed it. "It's alright love. I can barely keep my hands off of myself when I look in the mirror." He said sarcastically.

I opened my mouth again to say something but he'd already walked out of the kitchen chuckling to himself.

Alright, this means war. There's no way he's going to seduce me and get away with it. Even if it wasn't intentional.


I looked at myself in the mirror. I looked fairly descent. I'd gained some weight so I didn't look like a skeleton anymore. I had on a red nightie that exposed a lot of my clevage. My hair was curly and a little wild. I looked sexy, but I tried to make it look like I hadn't put much effort into it.

I walked into the kitchen and grabbed a bowl from the cupboards and filled it with ice cream (my doing), topped it with whipped cream (again, my doing), chocolate syrup(my doing), and cherries. I grabbed the bowl and went into Ron's room. He was lounging on his bed watching TV (Harry's doing).

"Hello, Ron. I have something I want you to try", I said as if it was a new potion I'd created.

"Yeah. Mmm hm", Ron said not taking his eyes off of the TV. I didn't pay any attention to it though. I sat next to Ron as he continued to watch TV.

"So how's work going", I asked.

"Other than your case, I've got to figure out where some man named Mortimus Fick is. He went missing a while ago. And the only thing they're telling us is that he's from Surrey and that the last place he was seen was at the Leaky Cauldron", said Ron still looking at the TV as he sipped at his butterbeer.

"Oh well you must be really stressed out", I said. I crawled up behind her and began to give him a massage.

He actually did seem stressed, but I had to stay focused on my objective.

I reached for the remote and turned off the TV, and he snapped back to reality.

"Hey, what're you-", Ron asked. He turned around and his eyes widened. I restrained a smile. I stood up, grabbed the ice cream sundae, and sat down next to Ron on his bed.

"So this is what I want you to try. It's called an ice cream sundae. It has cherries", I said. I took one of the cherries and dipped them in the chocolate and bit the cherry off of it's stem. I took a spoonful of ice cream and fed it to him.

"So did you like it", I asked.

"Very much", Ron said. He leaned in to kiss me but I stood up before he could. He stared at me for a moment before smiling.

"Oh I see. You're trying to get back at me, aren't you?", Ron asked. I shook my head. I slipped out of my nightie to reveal a black bra and panties. I smiled down at him.

"No, I'm not trying to get back at you. I'm succeding", I replied.

"So what do I have to do to get even?", Ron asked. I smiled and considered this for a moment.

"How about you shed some clothing too", I said.

He took off his shirt. Exposing his bare muscular chest. I crawled onto the bed with him and straddled him. As we leaned in to kiss I took his shirt and made a run for it. It didn't take him long to catch on. He swung his legs off of the bed and chased me into the living room until I fell in the living room. He fell on top of me and we both laughed. He rolled onto the floor- with his shirt.

"I thought you wanted to get even", I said as I began to straddle him in order to get the shirt.

"What more would I have had to do?", asked Ron.

"Well you should've did this", I said as I tugged at his pants. "And then this." I said as I leaned in to kiss him. As much as I wanted to stick with my 'take it slow rule' I had to share this kiss with him. It felt so natural and just so right.

Suddenly a a flash of light appeared. Ron and I looked up to a shocked looking Harry and Ginny. It probably looked a lot worse than it was. Ron was shirtless and his pants were low, revealing a bit of his boxers. And me- I only had on a bra and panties. Not to mention I was straddling him.

"Oh my GOODNESS!", Ginny exclaimed. Ron and I stood frozen.

There was another flash of light and Fred and George walked in. Oh, Merlin, I may as well die of embarresment here.

"Whoa!", exclaimed George, "Nice to see you again too Hermione."

I got off of Ron and stood up. Ron stood up as well in hastily buttoned his pants and began to put on his shirt befoore I snatched it out of his hands and put it on.

"It's not what it looks like! We were playing this game-", Ron began.

"Obviously", exclaimed Harry.

"I don't know what this game is , but it'll be a new favorite of mine", Fred said.

No, it wasn't like that! We were just trying to see who could seduce each other more, and we ended up here making out and then-", Ron said hastily.

"RON! There is NO need to elaborate", I said.

"We were just here to pick you up to look for dresses", Ginny said. Oh my goodness, how could I forget about dress shopping for Ginny's wedding?

"I'm so sorry, it completely slipped my mind, I'm just-"

"It's okay Hermione, just hurry and get ready. Luna, Katie, and Angelina are waiting for us at the Three Broomsticks", said Ginny. She still looked a little shaken, as did Harry.

"Yeah", I said.

Hopefully the rest of the evening won't be this awkward.
