2 Weeks- chapter 5

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.

Harry and Ron sat across from the three first year girls they usually helped, and tried to help them with the potions essay. Ron thought they should just copy off of some one who had already finished, but they said Snape would find out too easily. It was really late and Ron had fallen asleep while Harry explained to the girls the proper way to brew the potion.

"What are you guys still doing awake?" asked Hermione, coming up from behind Harry with Ginny at her side.

"Helping the girls with their potion." He answered. Hermione made a face and looked t her sleeping boyfriend.

"Right. Well I think the girls should go to bed now." Said Ginny and the three first years grabbed their things and left with disappointed looks. They really weren't paying much attention to what Harry was telling them in the first place. Harry sighed and made room for the girls to sit down.

"It's going on two in the morning, why are you guys still up with them working on that potion?" asked Hermione and Harry sighed.

"They claimed to not have known how to do the potion. Where were you two at?" asked Harry.

"We had to send a letter to Hermione's mum, my mum, then go work on Hermione's Christmas gift to Ron." Explained Ginny, nodding at her sleeping brother.

"Oh yeah, Christmas is the last day of his torture. you two will be at the ball right?" Hermione nodded and explained that the Head Boy and Girl were going to open up the ball by walking in with their dates. Ginny leaned across the table and poked her brother awake. He looked up and around.

"Is it time for bed yet?" he muttered groggily. Hermione smiled at him gently and nodded. "Good, those lids were driving me mad!" he announced and slammed his potions book closed.

"Well we can still sleep in tomorrow you know. No classes."

"But we're suppose to visit Hagrid." Said Hermione and the boys groaned. "I could always owl him and say you two can't make it?" she added as Ron slipped out his chair and onto the floor.

"Will you?" begged Harry and Hermione sighed. "Please hermione, I'd be really greatful if you would!" he begged.

"Sure, I'll do it."

"Thanks. Come on Ron. Ron?" Harry looked and noticed his best friend was now lying on the floor asleep. *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

The next day was very uneventful unless you counted Seamus practicing the way he planned on proposing to Lavender with Dean and Neville disappearing for the day. Or at least the morning was uneventful. The seventh year Gryffindor boys had just came from a snow ball fight and were up to their dorm, wishing Neville had been out with them. Dean was talking to harry and began to try and open the door, but it wouldn't budge.

"What's wrong?" asked Ron, looking over Dean's shoulder. "It can't be locked."

"It won't budge! Someone must be in there." Said Dean, backing from the door.

"Probably Neville." Said Harry, pulling his wand out.

"Why would Neville need to lock us out for? His girlfriend is in Hufflepuff." Said Seamus and leaned against the door. "And you can't hear a thing."

"Probably a silencing charm." Said Ron and the boys all looked at him. He blushed a bit.

"You would know a lot about those wouldn't you Ron?" said Dean and went to go get Hermione. When he came back, she looked at the boys in confusion.

"Neville's locked us out and won't open up. Can you perform the charm to unlock the door?" asked Seamus.

"Sorry, can't."

"WHY NOT!" yelled the boys.

"I promised Neville. and besides, he didn't think your snowball war would end that fast." Said Hermione and the boys stared at her in confusion. "Sorry I can't help." She said and left.

"NEVILLE OPEN THE DOOR!" yelled the boys and began pounding on the door. They stood there for an hour pounding on the door one at a time when it finally opened.

"Hi guys!" greeted Neville's girlfriend, Hannah. The boys all stared at her in shock as Neville followed her out of the room. He seemed pretty annoyed by his room mates actions. "See you later neville." She said and kissed him before walking off.

"You brought her to our dorm, and then locked us out!" announced Seamus, but Neville didn't seem to care much about his complaining.

"Why is every one seeing more action than me?" Ron grumbled. *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Hermione was sitting under the tree looking out at the lake as her kitten ran around in the snow. She still needed a name for it, and still had to finish working on her little project called Ron's Gift. 'How am I going to get him to take it?' she thought to herself and smiled at the kitten, now jumping at the newly falling snowflakes.

"There you are!" came Ron's voice, and the red head dropped in the snow. "I've been looking for you all this time. Ginny and Harry went and disappeared." he frowned and turned to the kitten. "Hey Red, come here." He said and the kitten cam pouncing at him.

"Red?" said Hermione in confusion and Ron smiled.

"He answered to it better than fuzz ball." He said and Hermione sighed. "My torture ends in three days, love. I'd think you'd be a little happier!" he said and Hermione smiled.

"You sure seem to be."

"Well yeah. After Neville went and snuck that girl into our dorm, I was determined to survive. Listen, we get to have a early trip to Hogsmeade today, you wanna go?" he asked and she agreed. "Good, cuz Lavender sent me to ask you. She wants to buy some stuff for the ball and 'needs' all the girls there to help her out."

"That's lavender for you."

"You know, Seamus was actually planning out the way he'd propose to her yesterday." Said Ron, helping her up off the ground.

"I think it's sweet. You should do the same thing."

"I don't need to practice how to propose. I did it all last year with Harry and he doesn't seem to want to help me with it any more." Said Ron and Hermione shoved him playfully.

"Idiot"
