Thanx to all of ya…bec of ya I update…I hope to hear from u guys soon abt this fic…

And so it went on. Ron did everything that Hermione asked. As expected, most of her requests usually involved Ron spending time with her. Ron, for his part, had given up fighting his brain. So it was common now to see Ron studying side by side with Hermione in the library on afternoons and decked out on the couch playing chess or again studying with her during the evenings. His grades had drastically improved nowadays, to the joy of his parents, though the twins had now taken to calling him Percy. (He was tempted to curse the living shit out of them but he had promised Hermione he wouldn't and as we know...)

Ron, in short, looked to some people to be severely whipped though if anyone ever asked, his defense was that you had to be a couple to be whipped. Hermione on the other hand, gave the excuse that Harry was spending all his time with Ginny whenever anyone questioned her about Ron. And so on it went.

A interesting point to note was that despite everything, despite a kiss, random touches, and spending all their time together, both of them still believed that each other had no feelings for the other. (This has severely frustrated Ron's brain as well as the writer who doesn't know how else to bring them together!)

But then again, with every sappy story, there has a dark interlude. One person had watched in utter disgust at Ron and Hermione. This person was none other than the resident evil genius, a.k.a. Ferret boy, Draco Malfoy.

" It's freaking embarrassing! Weasel is ruining the reputation of guys and Pure bloods! How can he actually think to taint the...." ranted Draco pacing up and down the Slytherin common room.

Goyle and Crabbe nodded dumbly. Despite looking like they were following Draco, both of them were in fact zoning out with their own thoughts. (Here's a quick look into their brains.)

Crabbe: Writer immediately starts sneezing at the cobwebs and dust that has been accumulating inside the brain. Looking all over for intelligent, or any kind of thoughts at all, he is not very surprised to find only pictures of food all over. Shaking his head, writer leaves quickly, proceeding to Goyle.

Goyle: Writer is this time prepared, and brings a handkerchief to block the dust. Goyle's brain is almost identical to Crabbe with just as many foo- Wait! Writer turns around quickly. He swears he just saw a naked female body with cream puff all over it! Writer runs around frantically trying to find out who it was. He turns left and searches among the assorted candies till he sees it again. Yes! He sees a leg! Running quickly towards the image he stops triumphantly in front of it. Cream puffs decorate the naked female body of Mc-.... NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!McGonnogal !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ARGH!!!!Immediately turns and flees!!!

Goyle looks around. He thought he just heard screaming coming from somewhere ruining his favorite fantasy. In front of him Draco stops and smiles evilly at them.

" I'll make him see the light. After I am done, he'll never even notice her again." Laughing away, the way only bad guys can, he walks off towards his room. His two faithful buddies follow behind when Goyle suddenly trips and badly scrapes his knee.(The writer is pissed with the visions inside his head. He doubts he will ever be able to sleep again.)

Back in the Gryffindor common room.

Ron and Hermione yawn simultaneously. Ron couldn't believe he had just spent another day with Hermione. It seemed almost too good to be true. Weeks smelling her hair (Orangy!) and her faint but still maddening perfume. He had also seen some new things. Despite being the foremost expert on Hermione, he had come to realize that there were some things that she didn't tell anyone including Harry or Ginny. Such as the way she worried herself to death some nights about Voldermot hurting Harry. He got jealous sometimes, watching her hawk over Harry (whenever he wasn't stuck to Ginny) though he never said anything. Complaining would have been calling the kettle black as he himself frequently spent nights staying awake to make sure Harry didn't have nightmares.

But that wasn't all. After spending so much time watching her do her work, he had also come to see how much she really treasured...uh. (Writer blushes) her Transfigurations teacher's praises. Finally, Ron had come to realize why she never let Harry or him copy. She put her heart and soul into every piece of work, whether it was a 10-ft essay on Potions or just a short piece on Charms. She never hesitated to assist Neville either and Ron could practically see Neville sit starry eyed every time Hermione looked at him. He felt a bit jealous again until Hermione smiled at him, and then it was his turn to make the goofy face.

He had also noticed other things of course. Like how she could make the world stop by just smiling at him or turn his insides out by turning her big chocolate brown eyes full force on him. And of course when she absent-mindedly put her mouth in her hair whenever reading. She would just bite on it and sort of play with it in her fingers.

(Whenever she did this, Ron's brain would have to send signals to calm down the entire body before it started hyperventilating)

He was already in love with Hermione, but never did he expect, that he could fall in more deeply. .

For the last few days before she slept, Hermione spent a few moments thanking the powers that be for giving her all this time with Ron. Never did she expect her redhead hero to be able to surprise her in so many different ways. From the little things like smiling at her encouragingly when she was doing a tough sum or by cutting short his dinner to bring her food when she was so busy studying. She loved his beautiful laughing blue eyes and his wide smile. Even his freckles now were cute to her and she would have given up all her marks to be able to kiss each and every one of them. Finally she understood what sweet agony was.

Glancing over at him, Hermione said brightly." Well what do you want to now?"

Ron looked blankly at her. He wasn't in the mood to play chess or do any more reading. Seeing Harry and Ginny sitting at the couch talking, he replied. " Um... let's go join them."

They got up and joined the two lovebirds. Due to the fact Harry and Ginny were sitting together under a blanket in the center of the couch, Ron and Hermione were forced to sit at different ends of the couch. Ginny was already sleeping on Harry's shoulder. Harry smiled fondly at her and gestured to Hermione to take her up to bed. He shook her gently and gave her soft kiss on the cheek, mindful of Ron's presence. She got up and made her way sleepily to her dorm accompanied by Hermione.

Harry looked over at Ron. " Do you want to go up then? "

Ron turned slightly red and replied," Nah. I'll wait for Hermione."

Harry smiled knowingly." How do you know she'll come back down? " He teased.

Ron blushed. "She will."

Hermione, after putting Ginny to bed did come back down, expecting to find both boys gone. She was surprised and very happy to see Ron still there.

" Uh... I wanted to say goodnight." said Ron not looking at her.

" OH...Ok. Goodnight." she replied taking a seat on the couch, still on the other side. She stared at the fire. Ron was still making no move to go up. She sighed to herself. She wondered if she dared to lean over and kiss him goodnight. Probably wasn't a good idea. She sighed again. She still remembered the kiss and how smooth his cheeks had been. Turning to look at him, she started to say something when she noticed her darling asleep. Smiling fondly she approached him, draping the blanket Harry and Ginny had been using over him. Standing over him, she wondered. Dare she? Slowly she leaned in towards his cheeks. She didn't dare kiss his lips. If he woke up suddenly she would just say she was kissing him goodnight. But if he woke up while she was kissing his lips...

She got near enough to gently drag her lips over his smooth sweet cheeks. Her hands crept up to bury themselves in his soft hair. Unable to control herself, she moved to the front of his face. Stroking his hair gently, she leaned in, just rubbing her nose on his. She rested her forehead on his lightly, trying to collect her thoughts. She couldn't believe how strong the desire in her to kiss him was. Running her hand through his hair again she slowly brought her right hand down to touch his lips. Leaning in …Oh god... Slowly she pulled away feeling the blood rising, making her face hot. Giggling again at the sight of him fast asleep without any idea of what had just happened, she dashed up the stairs to her room, to dream only the sweet dreams of those in love.

It was a good thing Ron hadn't been awake. His entire body would have exploded don't you think?
