Many, many, many, many thanks to my new betaer, Color in a Black-White World. :D You should go check out her stories. They're pretty amazing.

"She sent me out for air!" he said yet again, shoving his hand through his hair.

Harry, who had been watching him for the past thirty minutes, tried not to laugh. "You were taking up all the air. Calm down. Everything'll be fine."

"Fine. Right." He took a deep breath.

Harry grinned. "Now go in there and hold her hand."

"Okay." He turned back to Hermione's room and stepped inside.

Hermione looked up, smiling at him. "You okay?"

"Never better," he replied, crossing to her. "I love you, Hermione."

She took his hand. "I love you, too, Ronald."
