If he wasn't careful, Hermione would get the wrong idea and curse him into pieces when she woke up...

Hermione slowly slipped away from sleep and into consciousness. Even with her eyes still close she could guess that she wasn't in her bed, because the light came from a different angle and hit her eyes nearly painfully.

She also realised she had something on top of her... Something... Or SOMEONE!!

Someone who seemed to be pretty heavy and warm... And smelled of...

Sweet lemons??!!

She nearly fainted, but chose instead to sit up bolt upright, the person immediately on top of her nearly falling to the floor, succeeding in grabbing at the back of the couch and dangling there embarrassedly.

"Ron!" she was trying hard to control herself, to think that everything was alright, that there had to be a logical explanation... But her heart was a clear reminder that everything was NOT ok! "Do you want to give me a heart- attack or what?!" she cried shrilly.

"Sorry" he said sheepishly, carefully letting go of the couch, and getting up immediately. "I'll just leave then..."

"Oh no you don't!! - You owe me an explanation Ron Weasley !!"

"Ahh... Ummm... - Look... Don't get the wrong idea here Hermione... It was... erm... It was YOU!!" he said suddenly, on a bout of inspiration.

"Me??!! ME??!!" she said, her voice rising some more decibels, "Ron! I was bloody asleep!"

Ron winced.

"I know... I know... But THAT'S why! You sort of... Uhm... Grabbed my arm and uhm... pulled me on top of you!" he said defensively, waving his arms around wildly.

"PULLED YOU ON TOP OF ME??!!" she said, blushing, but positively furious, "we'll that's rich!"

"Hey! It's true! I was just taking that book of your lap!"

"What bloody book!" she said, rising suddenly, and striding determinedly towards Ron.

"Tha- "

Ron couldn't even finish: Hermione hadn't been watching were she was going, and she had tripped on said book, and gone flying... Only to fall into Ron's arms.

TBC... AGAIN!
