Chapter 9 – Getting Permission
"Professor Dumbledore, sir." Ron said entering Dumbledore's office.
"You want permission to visit Mr. Granger, is that correct Mr. Weasley?" Dumbledore said without looking up.
"How did you know?" Ron asked.
"I know everything that goes on at my school, Mr. Weasley, everything. I'm not such of an 'old fart', as people say." Dumbledore said his eyes twinkling. "Take a seat Ron."
"Thank you sir," Ron said. "I was wondering if I could have permission to go see Mr. Granger, if that was alright with you."
"I'm sure we can arrange something Ron." Dumbledore said. "Now is that all, or is there something else?"
"Well, there is something, but it's not really important." Ron said quietly.
"Does this have anything to do with your sleeping arrangements Mr. Weasley?" Dumbledore asked.
"Yes, it does sir." Ron answered.
"Ron, you do know that you were chosen as Head Boy, correct?" Dumbledore asked.
"Yes…"
"Do you remember at the beginning of the year being told that you have your own dorm room?" Dumbledore asked.
Ron scanned his memory looking for any memory of having his own room. After a minute he remembered.
"Yes," Ron said. "Does this mean I could use the Heads room as my sleeping corridors?
"Yes Mr. Weasley." Dumbledore said. "Now I am guessing your next questions will be where the room is located and what the password is. Correct?"
"Yes," Ron replied.
"I will have Miss. Granger show you were they are. Now about meeting Mr. Granger, you may go this weekend. I trust you won't be telling anyone about your quest will you?"
"No," Ron replied. "But this weekend is the Hogsmead trip, sir. I was hoping to bring Hermione on a date."
"Well then, you may leave tomorrow to visit Mr. Granger by portkey."
Rom awoke the next morning refreshed, he couldn't remember when he last slept like that. The memory of last night left him smiling.
"Granger" Ron yelled and ran up to Hermione.
"Yes Weasley?" Hermione asked.
"Hi," Ron said.
"Hi," Hermione said.
"Where's the Heads common room?" Ron asked.
"Why?"
Because I decided I would spend some time there/." Ron replied. "So are you going to show me or not?"
"Sure," Hermione replied. She led him to the portrait of a girl and boy. "This," she said "is this portrait of the first head girl and boy."
"Neat," Ron said. "So what's the password, catchy phrase?"
"Well it was only me using the room first, so…." Hermione said.
"So…."
"So, it's "Dance like there's nobody watching." As soon as the words were out of her mouth the portrait door swung open to reveal the Heads common room. The walls were a soft green the couches white, with red pillows. There was two stair cases that led to each of their rooms, which Hermione showed them.
"So, do you dance?" Ron asked.
"Excuse me?" Hermione replied.
"Well, the password. Wasn't that a muggle quote or something?"
"Yes,"
"If you use it as a password, then wouldn't it be close to you?" Ron asked.
"It is. It was my mother's favourite quote." Hermione said.
Flashback
Hermione was six and was sitting with her mum out on the porch, her mum was reading her a book of quotes, when she told Hermione her favourite; 'Dance like there's nobody watching'. "You see Hermione" she said, "I've always liked that quote, it was always my favourite, ever since I saw a movie where there were a girl and boy who fell in love and the girl was a famous dancer. You see Hermione; I've always wanted to learn how to dance. But it turns out," she said laughing, "that I have two left feet!"
End flashback
"Was? What about now?" Ron asked stepping closer to her, so they were almost touching.
"She died when I was seven." Hermione said.
"I'm sorry," Ron said. "Do you want to dance?" He asked.
"Here?"
"Why not?"
"There's no music,"
Ron flicked his wrist and music gently started to play
Grew up in a small town
And when the rain would fall down
I'd just stare out my window
Dreaming of what could be
And if I'd end up happy
I would pray (I would pray)
Hermione and Ron drew closer and started to gently sway to the music.
Trying hard to reach out Ron stared into Hermione's eyes, losing himself in their chocolate depths
But when I'd try to speak out
Felt like no one could hear me
Wanted to belong here
But something felt so wrong here
So I'd pray (I would pray)
I could breakaway
Ron smiled to himself. Remembering how their bodies were so close together, fitting perfectly. Almost as if they were meant to be together. He slowly got up, showered and dressed, trying to make himself look his best to impress Mr. Granger. As Ron made his way down the steps leading into the Heads common room, he noticed that Hermione had already left for breakfast. After looking at the clock he ran to the kitchens, grabbed a piece of toast and headed towards Dumbledore's office, excited yet scared to meet Mr. Granger.
Ron slowly entered Mr. Granger's dentist office reception room, just as Mr. Granger was finishing up with a patient. Ron waited until he was completely finished then walked into his office. Mr. Granger looked up and said "Can I help you?"
"Yes sir," Ron replied, "I would like to ask your permission to take your daughter out on a date."
"Who are you?" Mr. Granger asked him.
"My name is Ron Weasley sir, and I'm-"
"The same Ron Weasley who called my daughter a mudblood?"
"-Yes, but-"
"Who also terrorizes children for amusement?"
"-yes, but-"
"Who just sent someone to the hospital in a coma because he though it would be cool to see if the kid jumped?"
"-yes, BUT-"
"Now tell me Ronald, why would I want my daughter – my only child – to go out with a man like you?"
"I've changed sir. Ever since Colin left, you're daughter has been there for me, in more than ways then she knows. She's changed me into a better person." Ron said. "Sir, I'm just asking for a chance. Your daughter has forgiven me. Could you please find it in your heart to forgive me too?"
Mr. Granger stared at Ron, after awhile he said "Alright-"
"-yes-" Ron muttered under hi breath.
"But," Mr. Granger continued. "If I find out you've hurt my daughter, not even all the magic in the world could protect you." He finished.
"Thank you and don't worry sir. I'd never hurt Hermione." Ron said turned around and using the portkey left the office to go to Hogwarts.
Not before hearing Mr. Granger mutter "Not intentionally"
A/N: Sorry for the long awaited chapter. I've changed the concert to the winter because I wanted Ron and Hermione to have their first date while it was snowing. I've also changed some of my other chapter, I've just gone through them and edited them again. So if you want you can go and read them again you can, although its not necessary to realize what I've changed, the changed weren't that big
