Fire and Lightning- Part 6
Disclaimer: I own nothing but the plot. The characters belong to J.K. Rowling, and the song Waiting for Magic belongs to the awesome group Ace of Base.
Author's Note: Sorry about the long time it took to get this part out! As most of my fics are, this was written during school (English this time). Well, ya'll didn't come to read my ramblings so on with the show!
Ron Weasley stood up from the breakfast table, pushing his chair back with a screech.
"Anyone up for a walk?" he asked, looking around the table. His gaze settled on Hermione. He held her gaze, silently pleading for her to go with him. She gave a barely perceptible nod, coloured quite pink, and stood up.
"I could uses the fresh air…" she stated quietly, eyes cast downward. Ginny saw the silent exchange and hid a grin behind her hand. Harry and Sirius just stared as the two stepped toward the door.
Amused, Ginny watched as her brother opened the door for a very crimson Hermione, stepped through, and slammed it shut behind him.
"What was that all about?" Sirius questioned the other two giggling teens, a mischievous twinkle in his eye.
"Something that's been a long time in coming!" Harry exclaimed.
Ron and Hermione walked slowly down the beach, hands brushing, and faces flushed. Suddenly Ron reached out and grabbed her hand. Hermione sighed as tingles shot up arm.
"So…" Ron started, not sure quite what to say.
"So…" Hermione echoed. Her eyes studied the sand, worried what at what might happen if she looked up, "What did you want to talk to me about?"
"Well, umm…I…IlikeyouHermione…" Ron mumbled under his breath. The girl's bushy head shot up.
"What was that?" Hermione asked, eyes searching Ron's face.
"I…I…" Ron tried again, but just couldn't manage to get it out. 'To hell with it,' he thought suddenly. Noticing how close their faces were, leaned the rest of the way in and put his lips to hers with a jolt.
'Oh my God!' thought Hermione as she felt the tingle spread to anywhere they touched. Before she had time to respond, Ron pulled away. Hermione was too dazed to speak. When Viktor had kissed her, it was gross and disgusting, but this…this was exhilarating!
"I'm sorry!" Ron stammered, face brighter than the famous Weasley hair. Hermione grinned.
"Don't be!" she assured him, lips still tingling and face just as flushed, "I wouldn't object to trying it again!"
Ron didn't hesitate before doing just that.
Ginny Weasley was sitting in the room she shared with Hermione, lying on her bed, daydreaming, when she heard the first strains of her favorite song, come across the muggle radio. She quickly turned up the volume and started singing along…
"Kiss me baby
I'm Snow White sleeping in a coffin
Waiting for you, Waiting for magic…"
Too involved in the song, Ginny didn't notice when a very excited Hermione plopped down on the bed next to her.
"Are you listening to that muggle band again? Don't you get tired of listening to the same song over and over again?" Hermione asked, startling Ginny out of her daze.
"Oh, hi Hermione… and no, I'll never get tired of this song… It's just…"
"I know, I know, magical, right?" Ginny nodded. "Anyway, lunch is ready, if you happen to be interested." Hermione added whispering, "Don't worry Snow White, you're Prince will come to his senses any day now…mine sure did!"
A/N- I know, I know, too much fluff, but it was necessary! Don't worry, there will be action in this story yet! I just needed this part to set it up. Thanks for reading and please review!
