Hermione looked at the red-orange headed boy besides her. He wasn't that good-looking, or even that athletic. Instead he had eyes she could get lost in and was charming and romantic. The man lying besides her had her heart. She loved Ron. She knew everything about him, he might as well wear his emotions on his sleeve, he could read him that easily.

            "Ron?" She asked, snaking her arm around him. She placed it on the small of his back, toying with his cold skin. "What are you thinking about?"

            He sighed and pulled the covers above him and Hermione. "Harry." He said frankly.

            "Oh," Hermione wanted to roll over and pretend she didn't hear his statement. Thinking of Harry only brought back thoughts she didn't want to remember.

            "I shouldn't have said anything." He breathed, sensing her despair. He started to roll over.

            "No," She caught his arm and threw it over her waist. "I miss him too." Her voice cracked.

            "I wonder what he's doing now…" His voice trailed off in her ear.

            "Me too." She sat up, put her head in her hands and started to cry, the memories were flooding back hard and fast.

            "I'm sorry." Ron sat up too, hugging her desperately. "Stop crying, please." He sobbed on her should. His tears soaked into her tee shirt. "You're gonna make me start."

            "Too late." Hermione giggled, Ron joined in.

            "Yea, I guess so." He brushed her hair from her eyes. "Come on, you have that huge presentation tomorrow. Let's get to bed."

            She kissed him passionately. He kissed her back. They were each craving to ease the pain they just went through.

            "Suddenly, I'm not tired anymore." Hermione whispered against his lips. She started to pull her shirt over her stomach, exposing the thin midriff underneath.

            "Don't you dare, we promised each other, not 'till we're married." Ron said sternly. "Honestly 'Mione!" Hermione playfully pushed him back.

            Ron yawned and closed his eyes. He pretended to be asleep in seconds. Hermione whimpered. She carefully climbed back in bed, making sure to press her cold feet against him. He hugged her close and tight.

            "Don't be like Harry." He begged.

            "I won't. I promise." She kissed his nose.

            Minutes later, Ron was asleep. Hermione stayed awake. She felt guilty from keeping a secret from Ron, she loved him so… but if Ron found out about this one, he would be broken. She couldn't let that happen. She loved Ron so much… he was all she had.
