This is a filler chapter- New chapter will move forward with the plot!

The end of the night was coming to a close and Mrs Weasley especially was absolutely thrilled with the Bill that he had final found a witch. Ron had remained silent for the most part of the evening, with the occasional pass the potato or carrots uttered from his lips. If he had tried to insult Bill or Hermione or their relationship no words would come out of his mouth allowing everyone to enjoy their dinner in piece.

Bill and Hermione stood up from their spots where they had been sitting amongst everyone else as they got ready to be on their way when Mrs Weasley noticed them standing.

"You're not leaving yet are you?" Said Mrs Weasley. "It's only early.

"Sorry mum, but it's the first of the moon and I can get a little..." He said as he shot his mother a look.

"Oh yes of course dear. Next time we have you both round we'll make sure to do it not near the full moon."

"Thanks Mum." He said as Molly pulled him in for a hug.

"Oh you two must come and visit more often." She said not wanting to let go.

"We will mum I promise." Smiled Bill. "We really do need to get going though." Said Bill as he withdrew from the hug as Mrs Weasley walked over to Hermione will the twins approached Bill.

"So Bill, it's always good to see you." Said George.

"Exactly George, always a pleasure." Said Fred

"Pity you have to leave us so soon." Said George.

"Yes seeing as you was going to get a litte..." Said Fred

"A little what was that?" Replied George.

"I don't know George Bill never tell us." Said Fred

"So come on Bill, spit it out then." 'Said George

But Bill was watching as Molly and Hermione were talking before he witnessed his mother smile and pull Hermione into her for a hug.

"Sorry boys, better rescue Hermione before Mum hugs her death." He said as he smiled as he walked over to Hermione and his mother when he caught the tail end of the conversation.

"I will" She said as she felt Bill's hand take hers into his hand much to Ron's disappointment as he watched on.

"You've got to stop staring." Said Ginny

"What?" Said an annoyed Ron.

"I said stop staring and let them be happy." Said Ginny

Ron didn't answer he just huffed back down into his chair.

"You can really be a right idiot. She's your friend and he's your brother. Why can't you stop drowning in your own misery for all of a minute, apologise and be happy for them."

Ron opened his mouth to answer but nothing came out.

Ginny shook her head before walking off as Ron watched a smiling Hermione and Bill with his mum.

"You ready love?" He asked

"In a minute, I wanted to go and talk to Ron, smooth things over." Said Hermione as she turned to Bill. "Will you lift the spell?"

Bill shot Hermione a look.

Yes, the spell you cast to stop him talking and yes I'm sure."

Bill nodded and uttered "Finite Incantatum."

Hermione nodded and looked at Bill and Mrs Weasley. "Whatever happens, whatever is said, please, both of you let me handle Ronald."

Bill nodded as he watch as Hermione walk over and as she did the other eyes in the room followed her til she stood in front of Ron.

"Thought you were leaving." He mumbled

"I am. I just wanted to"

"Wanted to what." He snapped.

The twins opened their mouths to speak but Bill quickly nodded no.

"I came over because I wanted to clear the air between us. I'm not going to apologise because well I haven't done anything wrong."

"Done nothing wrong, done nothing wrong!" He yelled as he stood up.

"Yes, I have done nothing wrong Ronald. I was never yours and I was clearly mistaken when I thought that would be able to put whatever feelings you had for me aside and act like a grown man, but clearly that it not going to happen and I am done making an effort to your friend when continue to act this way and treat myself your brother like a pile of rubbish."

The rest of the Weasley's stared as Ron remained silent as he sat shocked at what Hermione had said to him.

"I am done with letting you treat myself and Bill this way. He makes me happy Ronald. I love him. And"

"I love her" Came Bill's voice.

Hermione turned around to see Bill smiling at her.

"I know you said no interruptions but I figured you'd be okay with that one." He said as he smirked.

"The point is Ronald that your frustrations and your anger are your own. I will not allow you to impose them onto myself or Bill any longer. When you decide you would like to accept our relationship and treat us both with the respect we deserve I will be here to listen, however until that time occurs I do not wish to hear from you Ronald."

"Thank you for dinner Mrs Weasley, but we best be off." She said as she said goodbye to the rest of them before grabbing Bill's hand headed towards the fireplace and floo'd back to Cairo.

"What the bloody hell just happened?" Said Ron.

The twins smiled.

"You just got put in your place by.."

"Granger." They said at the same time.

Meanwhile Bill and Hermione had arrived back in Cairo.

Hermione saw that Bill was smiling at her.

"What are you smiling at?" She said as they stood inside Bill's flat.

"You really are amazing. I've never seen anyone apart from mum leave Ron speechless before." He said as he smiled.

Hermione chuckled. "I think that took most of my Gryffindor courage to say what I had to say to Ronald."

"You're a strong woman love, much stronger than you give yourself credit for." He said seriously.

Hermione smiled as she kissed him. She let her kisses travel from his lips as her arms moved to his shirt undoing his buttons.

"Are you sure? You know the first night of the moon can get a little..."

"Rough?" She said innocently.

Bill smirked as he picked her up. Hermione smiled as she wrapped her legs are Bill's waist and her arms around his neck, her lips connecting with his neck as she did.

"Bedroom?" He said.

Hermione didn't respond she just intensified her kisses.

Bill nodded. "Yep bedroom." He said as he made his way down the hall.
