The Test Of Friendship
Chapter 9-
Happily Ever After (Revised and Updated Version)
Hermione did as she was told, and did not scream. Ron was trying to stay strong against the dementor. He finally whipped out his wand and screamed the patronus curse, and he succeeded. By this time Hermione had fainted. Ron's patronus defeated the dementor, leaving with an eerie moan. After both Ginny and Hermione had gotten up, Ron told his story, slightly blushing at certain parts. They nodded and Hermione jumped up and hugged Ron when he was finished. Ron blushed again, but tried to hide it. "Oh, Ron! That was just so brave of you!" Hermione would say over and over. Harry was just staring at them all, obviously thinking hard. "But how and why was a dementor here?" Harry asked curiously. "I don't know." Ron said, taking it into perspective for the first time. "Well, look on the bright side Harry, you didn't faint." Hermione said, trying to create some enthusiasm. "Well, my guess is you-know-who snet the dementor." Ginny said, still a bit frightened. "Yes, but if that was the reason, why would there have only been one dementor, and a weak one at that?" Hermione stated. "Wait a minute!" Ginny said brightly. "What?" Ron asked. "The breakfast tablet! There was one on the floor, the dementor must have stepped on it!" Ginny said, pointing to a small burnt patch on the carpet. Hermione tried to hold in her laughter. "Seriously, Ginny!" Ron said irritably. Harry went over and examined the black burn. "That is no breakfast tablet, that is the remains of fire." Harry said, picking up two sticks that were obviously rubbed together to set fire to the dementor. "But who did-" Ron was interupted by a tap on the shoulder, he turned around to Hermione. "Come." Hermione said, motioning Ron towards the kitchen. He followed curiously. They both sat down at the table, Ron shifting uncomfortably. "Did you use magic to make fire?" Ron asked. Hermione nodded yes. "But I thought you wouldn't use magic outside school." Ron said. "I had to make an exception, and besides, if it weren't for you making a patronus he wouldn't have left. I wasn't exactly bbrave, after I made the fire I fainted." Hermione said, her cheeks showing a tinge of pink. "I suppose so, but do you think that you-know-who sent the dementor?" Ron asked. "Yes, I do. I do care about Harry and everything, but that's not what I wanted to talk to you about." Hermione said. "Okay, what did you want to talk to me about?" Ron asked. "Alright Ron, I have tried to say this to you many times, but we have gotten interrupted in one way or another." Hermione said and took a deep breath. Ron looked at her nervously, listening intentively. Hermione seemed nervous as well. "Well, Ron, I really don't know how to say this but I-I s- sort of- Hermione didn't finish, Ron had leaned over and given her a kiss. She couldn't focus right. She was so happy yet confused. Ron had just kissed her, then sat back and looked at her with an innocent look. She grinned very widely. Hermione didn't know what to say, she wanted this moment to last forever, so she didn't want to say anything to mess it up. She knew it couldn't last forever. She finally took the risk of saying something. "I was hoping you would do that." Hermione said gently, she blushed a bit and smiled. Ron smiled at her, redder then a tomato. "I was hoping so too." Ron said, blushing even more, if it was possible. Hermione knew it felt so right. She hoped Ron thought the same. Hermione stood up and walked over to Ron. She threw her arms around him. To her surprise, he didn't pull back, tell her to get off, or even object, he actually did the same. Now, she was the one that was red. Again, she wished that moment could last forever, but it couldn't. Hermione wanted to hug him for as long as possible. She held tighter and whispered into his ear, "Are we supposed to end happily ever after?" They looked at each other. "I think so." Ron said. "How do we do that?" Hermione asked gently. Ron came closer and Hermione was pulled closer as well, they kissed again, both of them. Hermione knew this was definitely a happy ending, or better yet, a new beginning.
The End
