Late Night Escapades with Ickle Ronniekins

Head Girl, Hermione Granger couldn't sleep. Too much was going on and she had far too much to worry about. She knew that she'd be perfectly fine in the morning, but sleep? Well it was becoming a hazard. 'Maybe I should check the library in the Heads Common Room,' she thought. She got out of her bead and put on a nice cozy jumper that her Gran had knitted for her. For some reason, she loved the smell of it. It smelt like her Gran's perfume and her home baked cookies. She loved the colour as well, because it was black, with a red rose on each of the two pockets.

She went down to the Heads Common Room, only to find that it had been a BIG mistake. Malfoy had forgotten to put a silencing charm on his room! 'Ugh, that's just disgusting!' Hermione thought she dashed back up to her room. She ran to the portrait of Godric Gryffindor and said her password to get into the Gryffindor common room. She dashed towards the portrait of the Fat Lady.

"Hermione?" She turned around to see where the voice was coming from. "Jeez Mione," said Ron. "You don't have to look so shocked to see me here you know," he grinned. She shook her head.

"Malfoy forgot to put a silencing charm on his room!"

"What's wrong with that?" asked Ron. Hermione went up to him and began to shake him by the collars of his night shirt.

"Malfoy forgot to put a silencing charm on his room! He was in there with Parkinson! You know what they do when they are together!" Ron's eyes went as wide as saucers.

"I'm sorry Mione," he said giving her a hug. "That must have been very traumatic for you." Hermione hit him up-side his head. "Ow, what was that for?"

"For being a prat," she smiled.

"You like doing that don't you?" Ron asked, rubbing the back of his head.

"Doing what?"

"Giving my physical abuse."

"Yeah well you usually deserve it."

"I do not!"

"Do to!"

"Do not!'

"Do to!"

"Do not!"

"Do to!"

"Do not!"

"Do to!"

"Do to!"

"Do not!"

"Ha gotcha!" grinned Ron. Hermione fumed and folded her arms in a huff.

"What are you doing out of bed anyway Ron?"

"Couldn't sleep," he shrugged. Hermione slumped down into a sofa beside the fireplace.

"Me either." Ron sat on the arm of the sofa where she was sitting. She rested her head against his thigh and sighed. "Ron, I'm scared," she admitted. Ron slid down onto the sofa.

"Don't worry Mione," he said putting his arm around her shoulders. "Harry will be back. You know it, and I know it. Even if Ginny doesn't beat that King of Goblins, you and I both know that Harry will make it back in one piece. Like he always does."

"What if this time, he doesn't" she asked. "I mean, we're always with him all the time. We're the 'Gryffindor Golden Trio'. You're the brawn, I'm the brain and he's the heart." Ron lifted up her chin so that he was looking into her eyes.

"Listen to me Mione. Nothing is going to happen to Harry. You heard what that Jareth guy said. He's special. We both know how special he is. Ginny is one of the best witches I know. She only got one OWL less than you. So she is a great kid. She'll try her best to get Harry back. Even if she doesn't Harry will come back."

"Thanks Ron," she whispered. "I needed to hear that." Ron grinned.

"No probs Mione. What are best friends for?" They stared at each other for a full minute, before Ron broke the silence. "Come on," he said standing up.

"Where are we going Ron?" she asked, smiling up at him.

"Wait right there Mione," he said as he ran up the staircase to the boys dormitories.

He was back a minute later with Harry's invisibility cloak.

"Let's go," he said flinging the cloak over Hermione's head. "We're going to the kitchens for a quick coffee and breakfast and then we're going," he paused for dramatic effect.

"Then where are we gong Ron?" glaring at Ron

"We're going Mione," he paused again.

"Where are we going Ron?" Their faces were an inch apart.

"We're going Mione," he whispered, gazing into her honey coloured eyes.

"Where are we going Ron," she whispered, as she began to drown in the two pools of blue that were gazing into hers.

"We're going............."

"Where ................."

They didn't know what happened next. All they knew was that they were kissing each other and they both liked it.

"We're goners," whispered Ron, breaking the kiss.

"As long as I'm gone with you, I'll be fine," blushed Hermione. "But seriously Ron, where are we going after the kitchens?"

"We're going," he paused again.

"Ron," moaned Hermione, rolling her eyes.

"Okay, okay. We're going .............................. To the Library." Hermione's eyes lit up and she hugged Ron.

"Do you know how beautiful you are when your eyes light up at hearing the word 'Library'?" Hermione blushed.

"Come on let's get going then," she said. "The sooner we eat, the sooner we can get to the library. The sooner finish our research, the sooner we can............"

"The sooner we can what Mione?" asked Ron.

"The sooner we can..............." she teased.

"The sooner we can what?"

"The sooner we can....................."

"Do what Mione?" asked Ron, getting frustrated.

"The sooner we can do....................."

"What?"

"This," she whispered.

"What's ..............." He couldn't complete his sentence because Hermione's lips were on his.

"The sooner we can do that Mr Ronald Weasley." Ron was shocked. He had never known Hermione could be so forward. "What do you say to that?" she asked, smiling seductively. 'Wow', thought Ron. 'She looks even more gorgeous with that smile on her face. Where did she get that jumper?'

"I say Miss Hermione Anne Granger that we snog. Go down to the kitchens, eat and snog afterwards. Because I'm not a big fan of the library, I need some ........ Persuasion." Hermione grinned as he continued. "We go to the library and you'll have to snog me again because it'll help me get started. Then whilst we're doing research, you'll need to snog me every twenty minutes, just to keep me going. Then when we finish our research and we've found what we wanted, you'll have to reward me with another snog." Hermione laughed and hit him up-side the head.

"What was that for?" asked Ron, rubbing the back of his head for the second time within the last twenty minutes.

"Because you're a prat," she said grinning as they walked out of the portrait hole.

"I am not," he grinned.

"Are too,"

"Am not,"

"Are too,"

"Am not,"

"Are too,"

"Am not,"

"Are too,"

"Am......." He was again left speechless, as Hermione willingly kissed him, for the third time in the last ten minutes.

"What was that for?" he asked.

"It was the only way I could get you to shut up," she shrugged. "And win the argument at the same time," she added, as they walked to the kitchens. 'That girl is something else,' he thought as they headed to the kitchens, hand in hand.
