Ron Weasley was alone in the boy's dorms he shared with four other boys, about to change into his pyjamas, when his best friend, Hermione Granger stormed into the boy's dorms, and fuming, faced him:

"You've really done it now Ron Weasley! - How could you do this to me??!!"

They both stood facing eachother, Ron now shirtless, and Hermione furious.

"Do what Hermione?!"

"You know perfectly well what I mean!"

"Oh yeah?! Remind me, will you?! My memory isn't as good as yours!" he snapped back angrily, even though he knew perfectly well what she meant.

With that, Hermione snapped; it was all she could do to stop herself from slapping Ron there and then.

She stood, hand raised, about the hit him across the cheek.

"Oh! - So that's it! Now you're going to slap me?!" he said, clearly outraged.

But Hermione Granger stood, frozen, as if she was raging some internal battle: she had only just noticed that Ron was shirtless, and that he was incredibly sexy.

"Go on then! Do it! Slap me if it makes you happier!" he growled, and took a step closer to her.

She drew her hand further back, ready to strike.

There was a moment of silence, and then -

Just as she started to move her hand, about to strike his face, some memories came back: back in 3d year, she had slapped Malfoy, but Ron had always been at her side...

At the same time, Ron had tensed, obviously expecting the blow.

When it didn't come, Ron looked straight at her face, and did something he had never expected:

He grabbed Hermione by the waist, and kissed her furiously, passionately.

The kiss only lasted a few seconds, and they both drew back, shocked.

Hermione felt her lips, as surprised as he was, and then, looking back at him, in one single movement, Ron grabbed her again, and they kissed.

This time Hermione kissed him back, and she felt thousand of emotions coursing through her blood.

They both kissed passionately, and then -

"Wargh!!!"

Ron emited a muffled scream, as he woke up from a dream.

"Damn!" he growled, unwrapping the bedclothes from around him and shaking his head.
