The next few days, Ron sat in his room lonely, sad, and miserable. He hardly ate anything and went anywhere. While sitting in his room, he had some thinking. He missed Hermione dearly. He still loves her and didn't want to fight anymore. He decided to write a letter to Hermione and tell him how he felt.

Dear Hermione,

I know you are probably still mad at me, and I understand. These past few days have been torture for me. I know you want to give us a break but I can't stand one more day without you. I have done some thinking about us and what happened that night, I am truly sorry, about everything. On how I didn't trust you and how I let that idea get in my head. I am so sorry for hurting you Hermione. And for what I said that night about you. You're not selfish or stupid; I have nothing bad to say about you. I only said those things because I was angry and I thought that I was right. But I wasn't, you are, as usual. You're not a know it all either. You're the smartest, most beautiful girl I have ever met, I mean that Hermione. I know it sounds like rubbish to you but I really mean it. I questioned myself everyday and tell myself, I don't deserve you. I don't deserve someone like you, as special, as wonderful and loving as you. We've been through it all Hermione, we've fought, we've cried, we've laughed, I don't regret any moment I've had with you. So I believe that this fight will bring us closer together. I hope we can meet and talk. I really miss you Hermione. I'm sorry for everything. I love you.

All my love,

Ron

Ron sealed the letter, gave it to his owl, and expected it to be at Hermione's home by tomorrow. He hoped that she would answer. But three days later, Ron didn't get a response. Hermione always wrote back. She really was taking this seriously Ron thought. He hoped that she was suffering as well. He knows he's done her wrong, and really would want to apologize in person instead of letter now. So, he decided to go to her house. Hopefully, she won't mind him coming over. He got dressed and exited his room for the first time in almost two weeks. He told everyone that he was going to Hermione's and he'd be back later. He said goodbye then apparated off. He stood in the front of Hermione's cozy home again and there were no cars in their driveway. Good, this will be a little easier thought Ron since her parents weren't home. He walked up to the front door and knocked. Quickly, Hermione came to the door and looked absolutely stunning as always. But she was definitely shocked and unprepared for Ron to show up at her door.

"Whaat... what are you doing here?" Hermione studdered.

"I wanted to come apologize to you Hermione, I know I treated you badly but I wanted to say that I mi-" Before Ron could finish, Ron saw past Hermione's shoulder and saw that Steve was standing a few feet away from them.

"What the hell is he doing here?" Ron said nodding to him angrily. Hermione's face express changed from shocked to nervous. She didn't plan for both of them to meet each other, especially at her home. Ron still waited for an answer before Steve said "I should ask you the same question." Ron gradually stepped into the house and said "I came here to apologize to Hermione. You?" Steve snickered and said "Oh please, you think she'll really forgive you for what you did. She doesn't even love you. I'm here to comfort her."

The words coming out of Steve's mouth really shocked Ron, Hermione as well.

"Ron, don't listen to him he's lying." Hermione said to Ron. Ron didn't believe it, he couldn't. That's one thing that he needed to do, trust Hermione.

"Look at you, you poor little boy. You don't deserve someone like her. She would be better off with me." Steve added.

Hermione gave Steve a disgusted look. "No I don't Steve. I love Ron, not you." Hermione said. "Now get out. I don't want you here."

Steve stepped way too close to Hermione and it made Ron's skin crawl. "Come on Hermione, you don't mean that. I can give you so much more than him. He can never give you the things that you desire." Steve tried to grab Hermione's hand and Hermione acted immediately, and stepped back.

"Don't touch me Steve." Hermione said.

"Hermione please listen to me. Look at him, he's no good for you at all." Steve said.

"OH AND YOU ARE?" Hermione screamed. She had a feeling that something bad was going to happen. "GET OUT STEVE! GET OUT OF HERE NOW!" Hermione shouted again.

Steve touched her face which resulted in Hermione slapping him. Ron was furious because Steve wouldn't give it up. Ron stepped forward and said "Don't touch her"

"What? Think your all tough now huh?" Steve said and pushed Ron. Hermione hoped that this wouldn't happen. She suddenly stepped in front of both the boys and said "You both quit it now! We can't do this!" Steve shoved Hermione out of the way and onto the floor which then made Ron push Steve as well. Both the boys soon began shoving and punching each other and Hermione had to stop them.

She went over to them and tried to pull them apart, but her strength was no use compared to the boys. Now Ron was bleeding pretty badly from the side of his head and Steve had a bloody nose.

"RON STOP! STOP PLEASE! THIS ISN'T GOING TO DO ANYTHING!" Hermione screamed. She begged them to stop. Just then Steve grabbed a broom and tried to hit Ron with it until Hermione yelled "WINGARDIUM LEVIOSA!"

Steve was definitely confused. How in hell did that broom manage to get out of his hand he thought? He looked around and saw that it was now on the floor. Thank goodness Hermione lowered her wand or Steve would have seen it float in mid air. Hermione quickly went to grab it from his reach and screamed "GET OUT STEVE! YOU ARE NOT WANTED HERE!" Steve finally gave in and kicked Ron in the shin. He gave Hermione a final look then left out the door. Ron was exhausted on the floor. Hermione dropped the broom and went right next to him.

"Ron are you ok? I'm so sorry, I never intended for you to get hurt." Hermione cried. She helped Ron get onto his feet and into the living room.

"Sit down, I'm going to clean that cut up. Don't move ok?" Hermione got up and grabbed the first aid kit. She came back and started cleaning up the blood first. This was the first time they had been close to each other in weeks. Hermione still had tears in her eyes. Ron missed Hermione so much, and hopefully this showed her that he would do anything to get her back, even fight for her. He didn't mean to get into a fight obviously, he just wanted her back.

"So anyways, what I said before." Ron said before being stopped.

"Shh stop talking. You're still hurt." Hermione told him.

"Hermione, I can talk, I just can't move." Ron told her laughing a little.

"This isn't a laughing matter Ron! You both could have been really hurt!" Hermione cried. She obviously still cared for Ron, considering she was taking care of him now. Ron wiped away her tears with his thumb and Hermione swiped his hand away.

"Hand down, I need to get you cleaned up." Hermione said to him. She still had anger towards him, but she missed him terribly as well.

"I am sorry Hermione, for everything. Steve was right, I don't deserve someone like you." Ron said. Hermione snapped and said "Will you stop doubting yourself Ronald? You're going to let Steve get into your head now?"

"Sorry, I really am Hermione. I'm sorry that I didn't trust you, and I let Steve come in between us. I should have known better. I really miss you and I do still love you." Ron said. Hermione finished cleaning the blood and ran to the kitchen sink to clean the towel. Hermione was still sobbing and Ron immediately got up to follow her.

"Sit down Ron!" Hermione demanded.

"NO Hermione I won't! You need to listen to my ok?" Ron said and took her hand in his. "I am absolutely sorry for what I put you through. If I could take it back, I would. But, I promise, I swear on my life that I will never do that again. Those words I said, calling you stupid and a know it all, I didn't mean. It only came out in anger and I'm sorry. I have never met someone like you before and I hope that I never do meet anyone else, because you're the one for me." Ron was speaking directly from his heart. They were both face to face now and Ron wanted badly to kiss her, but didn't want to force Hermione to do what she wasn't ready for. Hermione then started to cry some more knowing that Ron was right.

"I'm sorry Ron! I didn't mean to hurt you either! I'm so sorry for everything I said, I didn't mean them!" Hermione was stopped when Ron hugged her. It had been their first embrace ever since the start of the fight. Hermione just cried and cried into Ron's shoulder.

"It's ok Hermione. Please don't cry anymore. We're together ok? No one can change that" Ron asked her. Hermione realized that Ron still had a huge cut on the side of his head and ran to get some dittany.

"Hold still ok?" Hermione said. She put some dittany on Ron's forehead and watched as it slowly healed.

"Woof, thanks that feels much better" Ron said. "Thanks Hermione." Hermione nodded and walked to put her medicine away. When she came down, she went around the living room and cleaned up the things the boys knocked over.

Ron walked to her and said "Let me help, I caused it."

"No, it's fine. I'll clean it. It's my house." While grabbing the vase on the floor, both their hands touched and it felt like sparks were flying. They both looked up. They both missed each other so much, even the touch of their hands made them both go crazy. They both stared into each other's eyes for what seemed like hours, but Hermione was the one to back away. She cleaned up everything then went to the kitchen to wash her hands. Ron couldn't take it anymore. He went right up to her, pulled her to him, and kissed her flat on the lips. Hermione surprisingly kissed back. They both moved to the living room, not breaking the kiss, and laid down on the couch. They kissed with great speed and passion, they were both gasping and moaning for air once they broke apart. But once they caught their breath, they began to kiss again. Ron managed to slip his tongue into Hermione and had a good taste of her. He missed kissing her and enjoyed every second he had with her. He knew that her parents would probably be home soon, but they both made the most of their time. Just then, they heard a loud slam and Ron stopped kissing Hermione to see what it was.

"Ron, it's my parents." Hermione told him. Ron sighed with disappointment. He wanted to be with her for a little longer.

"Don't worry. I'll stop by the Burrow tomorrow ok?" Hermione said. She wrapped her arms around his neck bringing him in for a final kiss. Ron didn't want to break away, but he knew he had to. They both got up and Ron apparated home.

Ron arrived home to find everyone in the living room. He didn't feel like joining them so he went back up to his room. He was ecstatic that Hermione and him were ok now. He loved her for being so kind. But he swore that he would never do anything so stupid to hurt him again.

Hermione came over in the afternoon and they couldn't keep their hands off each other. Ron quickly brought her up to his room and they snogged for hours.

"Maybe we should fight more often so I can kiss you like this." Ron said in between kissing Hermione.

Hermione just laughed and said "Oh please Ron" Ron laughed as well and they continued kissing. Then there came a knock at the door. Ron and Hermione broke away and Ron sighed again.

"BLOODY HELL CAN WE GET A MOMENT!" Ron yelled. Hermione saw how angry he was and said "Ron, you don't have to yell, it's alright." Ron and Hermione got off each other and sat next to each other on the bed, trying to get rid of the wrinkles on their clothes and fixing their messy hair.

"Come in" Ron said. In came through the door, was George. "Having fun snogging?" George laughed.

Ron just rolled his eyes and hates how he has no privacy. "Anyways, mum says it's time for dinner. And she wants to know if Hermione is going to stay tonight?" George asked.

Hermione thought for a minute. "Yea it wouldn't hurt to stay one night. I'll let my parents know and see how long I can stay." Ron let out a sigh of relief, he was thrilled that Hermione was actually staying.

"Alright, well come down for dinner." George said. They both did so and all had dinner. Hermione definitely missed Molly and everyone. It was nice catching up with everyone again. After dinner, Ron and Hermione went back to the oak tree to relax. It was breezy and clear tonight, so it was a perfect night to watch the stars. They sat down near the tree and stared at the stars.

"I'm glad you decided to stay Hermione. I really have missed you." Ron said.

"Me too, but it seems that all we've been doing is snogging. It's weird really. But I like it." Hermione laughed. Ron opened his arms and welcome Hermione in for a big hug. Hermione cuddled into Ron's chest. Ron kissed Hermione's forehead and said "Hermione, have you ever thought about our future?"

"Not really, well, how far are you thinking?" Hermione said.

"Well like where do you picture us five or ten years from now?" Ron asked. Basically, he just wanted to see what Hermione would think, and if she ever wanted to get married.

"I picture us….still together definitely. I love you very much you know that Ronald." Hermione looked up at Ron and gave him a kiss. "And, maybe, I might sound a little crazy, but we could possibly be married."

Ron was so glad she said that, he felt like he was the only one in their relationship that felt that way. "Thank you for saying that Hermione! I just, I feel the same way. I was kind of afraid to tell you because I thought you'd think that I was crazy or something." Ron told her.

"You're not crazy Ron. I definitely see us going further, just not really sure when. But there's no need to rush right?" Hermione looked at him and waited for an answer.

"Yup, no rush." Ron said. He definitely wasn't planning on pushing Hermione to do things she didn't want to do, but he was glad that he got that out of his chest. Ron grabbed Hermione and lays her on the ground. "What are you doing Ronald?" Hermione asked laughing. Ron didn't bother t answer, instead he just kissed her. He hugged her waist tightly and Hermione rubbed his red hair, resulting them to kiss deeply. "I love you so much Hermione Granger." Ron said. Hermione smiled at him and said "I love you too Ron." They kissed throughout the night and could not have been happier to be with each other.
