2 Weeks- chapter 4
Author's note: A R/H fic. Ron and Hermione have been together since their fifth year and have already had a life of experiences with each other, including the fact that Ron manages to get Hermione to sneak off into empty classrooms with him so they can be "alone" for a few hours. But now she's made a little promise for him, and will only be awarded this if he can go at least two long weeks with out them making out. There's a little G/H.

When Saturday had came and everyone had gotten to Hogsmeadae, there was a lot more excitement than there was at the Quidditch match as people rushed around to buy the perfect Christmas gifts. Harry and Ron were soon dragged into a pet store, where the girls admired the pets.
"Isn't it cute?" said Ginny looking at a tiny black kitten with bright green eyes. Harry looked at it and nodded. Ron came up to examine it as well, then smirked.
"You would think that, wouldn't you harry. It's a kitten version of you." He said and Harry blushed. Suddenly the girls were huddled up around Hermione and Ginny giggling and whispering. Harry and Ron glared at them as the girls walked off. They weren't Gryffindor girls either, but Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff girls that they were talking to.
"What was that about?" asked Harry as the girls came back over to them.
"Nothing." They answered and the witch that owned the shop came up to them. She had over heard Ron teasing Harry about the kitten looking like him, and pulled out an equally small kitten with bright red hair and blue eyes.
"Its sooo cute!" announce both girls and Ron went red, noticing the look on Harry's face.
"Wow Ron, it looks just like you." Said Harry loudly and he glared at him.
"Shut up Harry."
"So, will you be buying or admiring?" *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"You know you like him Ron." Said Hermione cheerfully as the four of them at their usual table, both of the new kittens playing around under their table so as not to attract any attention. Harry had figured they were the girls' Christmas gifts, which they both excepted.
"So, what are you gonna name the little fur ball?" asked Ron as the kitten climbed up the side of his robes. "Or is this just another Crookshanks?"
"I dunno, he seems to like you a lot more than Crookshanks ever did." Said Hermione with a smile.
"Maybe you should name him Red." Said Harry, examining the kitten as Ginny's continued to reach it's paw up at the sugar quill he was waving around as he talked.
"Well, we have something to do. See you guys later." Said Ginny, getting up. When they left, Ron turned to Harry with a very annoyed look.
"She's making me suffer on purpose." He muttered, slouching back in his chair, not noticing Hermione had left him cat-sitting. "I'm going to end my 14 day torture, and get nothing out of it." Harry stared at him.
"So maybe you should take matter into your own hands and see what she does if you do try something." He suggested and Ron stared at him.
"Yeah, but what if what she'd got in store is really good?" he asked. Harry sat back in his chair to think about it.
"What could she be getting you that would be that great?" *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
There were seven days left 'til Ron's torture would end, and the Yule Ball was coming up as well. Hermione was continued o be dragged along with Chris to plan the Ball, but Ginny kept watch for her brother, who was suffering enough as it is. Later that night, when Hermione had came out the library, she decided to go up to the owlery for some peace. Of course, Pig thought this was his chance to deliver a message, and flew around her head a few times before getting the message.
"Pig, get over here!" snapped a voice and Hermione looked over to see Ron sitting against the owlery wall with Pig now sitting on his knee, hooting happily. He must have not noticed she was there since he hadn't moved. It was also surprising how he managed to get Pig to follow a decent command and now had the owl sitting on his knee.
"Ron." she started, and he jumped. She smiled and sat next to him, leaning her head on his shoulder. "What are you doing up here?" she asked.
"I was going to ask you the same thing. Besides, this is my only place of refuge."
"From what?"
"From you I was hoping." He answered with a small smile. Hermione sighed and leaned against the wall, playing with the end of her skirt. She was starting to wish herself that she hadn't made that bet with Ron last two weeks because even though she didn't show it, she was suffering just as much as he was. When she looked at Ron, she noticed he was staring at her.
"Eye problem?" she asked and he smiled.
"You're so beautiful;." He said and leaned forward, kissing her. It had been a while since they had really kissed, so she wrapped her arms around his neck and forced the kiss.
"Excuse me." Came a voice and they quickly parted. Ginny was standing there with a very cheerful smile and Harry looking curiously over her shoulder. "If I must remind you both, there's still a week to go." She said and Hermione got up, dusting herself off.
"Thanks for that little reminder Ginny." Muttered Ron, glaring at his sister. He looked around for the kitten he had brought with him and put it into his pocket. "Thanks a lot." *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"Come on Hermione, you almost gave in back there. Don't tell me I can't leave you alone with my brother until Christmas." Said Ginny with a small smile as they sat around the girls' dorm. Hermione groaned and buried her face into her pillow.
"I couldn't help it! He looked so adorable at the moment. and besides, we haven't kissed in so long." Hermione grumbled. Ginny shook her head.
"Your mum sent you this letter. She wants to know how you are. and if Ron is surviving." Said Ginny, handing her the letter, and trying to get her kitten from pulling on the loose string on her robes. Hermione sighed and folded the letter up.
"You know, if my dad liked Ron as much as mum does, life would be a lot easier." She said.
"What does is say?" Ginny asked.
"She says she hopes my little deal wit Ron works out and added that dad says." Hermione stopped and handed the letter to her friend. Ginny read it and shook her head.
"A shame how much your dad hates my brother. You'd think he did something to him."
"He's my boyfriend. He did do something to my dad."
