I'd like to "get back to basics", become "one with nature"! Hermione
Granger was twirling around the field west of Hogwarts.
"You know", tall, evenly built Ron put in, "at this rate, you get any loopier and we're gonna have to visit (nurse lady)"
Hermione paused "Oh but just Look at that sky! Look at all those colors!
Then in mock-seriousness she added, Tonight's sunset shall be dubbed 'Melting Eggs'.
Then again, like a little kid, her arms were flung about her sides, her long curly hair streaming behind her like a ship's sail billows in the wind.
Can't you just Feel it! Hermione exclaimed- the openness, the clarity…"
Yeah, the "Oneness" Ron smirked sarcastically. But underneath his sarcastic façade, Ron was smiling. Yes, now that you've dragged me all the way up to the top of this hill I know all about the "oneness" of nature- the pollen, the bugs, need I go on…?
Giggling, Hermione grabbed Ron's hand and proceeded to skip lightly back down to the castle.
If we don't hurry we'll miss dinner- I was talking with Dumbledore earlier and he hinted that there would be a surprise visitor today! C'mon, I don't want us to be late!
"Still, my Hermione" Ron though with affection, "One moment- not a care in the world; then worried that we would be late to dinner." Ron smiled in spite of himself- what an interesting way to spent their afternoon off- making up cloud stories and singing the praises of the out of doors. Not that Ron didn't like the outside, he did. Once he had even gone into the haunted forest at night! Nature wasn't exactly his best friend though, but if Hermione now wanted to become "one with nature" Ron wasn't about to complain.
(Harry)
Ron stopped, suddenly remembering his friend, Harry Potter- Harry was notorious for running off without leaving word-often he would be gone for hours. One would think Harry was in love or something but Ron knew not to question anything. Harry could get emotionally defensive at times and Ron didn't want to set him off. Besides, it was none of his business anyway.
By now, Hermione was far ahead- yelling for him to catch up. Ron sighed and jogged up to meet her.
"What's taking you, slowpoke!" Hermione paused for a moment then grinned. She looked beautiful with her hair mussed from all that twirling- Ron couldn't resist. He leaned towards the still-grinning Hermione and stole a quick kiss under the setting sun. Not their first, but the moment was still sweet. Hermione broke away and giggled-
I'll race you to the door!
And with that, she was off- her cloak and luminescent curls cascading behind her like a fairy's wings. Ron stood still for a moment, soaking up the last of the moment, then he was gone, playfully chasing after Hermione like a wave runs to the shore.
