Chapter 9

"I don't know Harry, I'm not cut out for this," Ron told Harry the morning before the wedding.

"C'mon Ron, it can't be that hard, remember Lavender? She was all over you last year, even when you didn't want to go out with her. It can't be that hard to ask a girl out."

"Oh, so mister high-and-mighty, you haven't had the balls to ask out my little sister yet, have you?" Ron asked Harry as he did the buttons on his shirt. The wedding was in two hours, and he, Harry and the twins had land the job of showing people to their places.

"Seriously Ron, Hermione is an only child, Ginny has six scary, older brothers," Harry stated.

Ron laughed, "Well, I have to say I'll kick your ass if you hurt her, but right now I think you hurt her more if you don't ask her out soon. And do you really see Percy as scary? None of us have talked to him in ages anyway, so you just have to face five of the scary brothers."

"Like that makes it any better, but seriously man, you should ask her out. You haven't been yourself since she came, and if you just ask her out, if she says no, then you're just finished with it."

"Okay, so I'll try then."

%&%&%&

When everybody stood up for the bride Gabrielle was the first one to come inside, then Ginny, and last Hermione. All of them had different dresses, but all of them in a purple colour. Then last Fleur came together with her father.

Hermione looked stunning; she wore a dark purple dress that reached down to the floor, the skirt falling around her legs beautifully. The bodic looked like it was black, with the same purple material in a wrap-up style. It was v-neck and showed of some cleavage, but note more than to make it look classy. It was held up by spaghetti straps and it suited her tan perfectly, he didn't understand what Fleur was complaining about. Her bushy hair was tamed and hung down in soft curls instead, she wore a bit make up, but not much. It suited her he thought.

Sure Fleur looked beautiful too, or maybe she just used her veela powers on him?

He stared at Hermione the whole sermony, just barley noticing Harry, in his disguise did just the same, only at Ginny.

%&%&%&

"Is this seat taken?" Hermione asked Ron later on, after the dinner that had been insufferable; he didn't even get to sit at the same table as her.

"No, sit down if you want."

"So, why are you sitting here all by yourself?" she asked after sitting down.

"Harry and Ginny took of somewhere, didn't want to disturb them. So you're having a good time?"

"Mostly, but this guy, what's his name, Victor something keeps asking me do dance all the time, it gets rather annoying," she told him, obviously bothered.

"You want to take a walk with me? I need to clear my thoughts a bit,"

"Sure, I'd love to," she told him and the two walked out of the tent together.

They walked away from the rest of the guests and ended up near the pond.

"I'm going to miss it here," Hermione said quiet. She sat down underneath one of the big trees and looked at the pond.

"Really?" Ron asked hopeful.

"Yeah, it's going to be sad to leave, I'm going home tomorrow. My parents want me to spend the rest of the vacation with them, since they don't seem me much through the school year. I'm going to miss this place... and you," she blushed.

"Really?" he asked again.

"Yeah, and the others, I really like it here, you're family are so nice and it's so home-y here."

"Well, you're already writing Harry and Ginny, so you don't mind me, eh, writing to you do you?" he sounded unsure.

"Of cores not Ron,"

"Good, 'coz I'm going to miss you too when you leave to Beauxbatons y'know," he admitted.

"Ron, there's something I need to tell you. I'm not going back to Beauxbatons, my parents have decided to transfer me to Hogwarts, they want me closer home."

"That's great 'Mione!" he exclaimed "then we'll probably have classes together and stuff," his ears turned red at the tip.

"It's rather embarrassing, I don't really know many people there and I probably need to get sorted together with the 1st years. But I'm glad I get to go there too, 'coz then I'm closer to you," she blushed herself.

Then their lips meet in a sweet kiss. His hand went into her hair and she put her arms around his neck. It was a long kiss, and when he ran his tongue over here lips she opened her mouth and their tongues meet in a battle of dominance. It was first when they got up from air they made eye contact.

Hermione blushed and Ron looked uncomfortable, "um, Hermione I really, really like you. Wanbemgrl?"

"What's that Ron? I can't understand," she told him, looking confused.

He cleared his throat before he spoke again, "You want to be my girl?" he asked, his ears turned red yet again.

She plunge herself at him and kissed him. "Yes Ron, I thought you were never going to ask."

He took her hand, "so, you want to go back?"

"I don't really want to, but I think we should I am maid of honour after all."

They got up from the ground and Ron helped her with brushing grass of her dress before they headed back to the tent. When they got back it had started to get dark outside and they found Harry and Ginny at their table, talking with a girl with blonde hair.

"Where did you two take off to?" Ginny asked them as they sat down, she noticed they sat close together, hand in hand.

"Oh, Ron and I decided to take a walk," Hermione answered.

"Oh, Hermione, this is Luna Lovegood, she's a friend of us, from Ravenclaw," Harry told her. "Luna, this is Hermione Granger, she goes to Beauxbatons, she's a friend of Fleur."

"Harry, I need to tell you something," Hermione looked a bit unsure, Ron squeezed her hand to make her tell.

"I'm going to transfer to Hogwarts, my parents have already talked to professor Dumbledore about it, and he said he'd be pleased to let me transfer."

"Really, that's great Hermione!" Ginny squealed, obviously happy to have her at Hogwarts, got up and gave her a hug. Hermione let go of Ron's hand and hugged her back. When Ginny let go of her she took Ron's hand again, like if she'd let go he'd disappear and it would all just be a dream.

He kissed her on the cheek.

"I'm not going anywhere 'Mione, I'm just here."

A/N: So, what do you think about chapter 9? Please review and tell me, 'coz I really appreciate it when you do. I think the next chapter is also going to be a bit from the wedding, not sure yet, but I'll decide soon. Nope, I hadn't forgotten this story, can't forget this story when it's the one I enjoy the most to write at this time :) Take time to check out my other Ron/Hermione stories, I'm working on a second chapter to A Broom shed right now, so you have something to look forwards to, other than the next chapter of this story of cores :)
