It wouldn't be exaggerating to say that the way Ron and Hermione were looking at eachother over the next week was murderous. Ron had lunch with Orla on Tuesday and Wednesday that week, but not simply for the whining conversations engaged him in. Harry noticed his eyes often wondered to where he sat with Ginny and Hermione numerous times. The same was true for Hermione who, upon insistence from Ernie, not only had dinner with him on Monday night but also on Wednesday and Thursday as well. Harry, who had been recruited by the 'Matchmakers' was actually amazed to see that they were in fact immensely jealous of the time that Orla and Ernie stole from the respective others, and deep down maybe Harry thought that it might actually work.
Over the next week, while Hermione and Ron were busy making eachother jealous, Harry had gotten a chance to get closer to Ron. He enjoyed Ginny's company before, but had never really gotten the chance to 'get to know here'. And one night Harry realized that she wasn't just Ron's little sister anymore. She was his friend; a cheerful, spontaneous, interesting individual Harry made a mental note to get to know better.
By Thursday however, Harry was beginning to think that maybe Ginny's plan may be backfiring. Ron had yet to confront Ernie, but shot him angry glares in the hall each time he had passed him. On the other hand, Ron was getting perhaps a little too close to Orla and they had been out the last two nights. He seemed very happy with Orla's company. Moreover, Hermione was getting a little flustered with being with Ernie so much and Harry could tell that she would have bitten his head off already to leave her alone if she wasn't so polite and bottled it up. Still, she sat with him on Thursday night at Gryffindor table, and Hermione as well as Harry noticed Ron didn't look so much as their way as he strode out of the Hall after dinner with Orla at his arm. Hermione looked up and Harry could have sworn she had tears in her eyes as she watched them go. Interrupting Ernie, Hermione made an excuse about not feeling good and bustled out of the Hall. Ernie looked over to Harry and Ginny, whispering "What's that all about?", but he was grinning; believing that she was angry at Ron (like they planned) and not upset. Ginny shrugged and asked Ernie if he wanted to go find Hannah while motioning to Harry with her eyes to follow Hermione. He had found her in the Common Room, already surrounded by homework and he sat down to ask her what was wrong, but she offered up a fake old smile and insisted nothing was wrong. Harry agreed not to push it, and sat down to do some homework too, but when Ron came in an hour later Hermione came up with a lame excuse and bustled off up to the dormitory, oblivious to Ron.
By Friday night, Hermione was nearly in tears with the confusion she felt as she sat talking to Harry about Head business. She had been wracking her brain all week with what could possibly make her so upset seeing Ron with Orla and couldn't seem to come up with anything 'logical'. Harry could tell her mind was elsewhere, but chose not to pursue it. He looked up when the portrait hole opened and in came Ron, fresh from the 'date' with Orla and he was looking quite pleases as he made his way over to them with a grin. Like the night before, Hermione made an excuse to leave and rushed to the stairs. Ron looked to Harry confused and Harry just shrugged. Choosing not to ignore it, Ron jogged over to her, halting her procession up the stairs.
"Hermione what's wrong?" he asked, genuinely concerned and she tried to avoid meeting his eyes. She didn't answer. "What is it? Something I said?" he asked. She laughed to herself, and staying silent a few moments longer, she erupted. She couldn't take it anymore and threw her books to the ground with a loud bang. Everyone congregated in the common room stopped what they were doing and looked. Hermione/Ron rows were commonplace, but still entertaining nonetheless. "You could say that!. Traipsing about with Orla!" Hermione shrieked and Ron looked flabbergasted He was speechless for a minute before mirroring the anger and shouting, "So what? Why should it matter to you?" he demanded. "You've been off all week with that weasel McMillan!" he ended. Hermione laughed disgustedly, and began to pace the stair she was on, mumbling to herself which she often did when she was to angry to express words conveniently and appropriately. But soon enough she stopped and stared at Ron, shouting daggers with her eyes. Harry thought she looked so angry that at any minute she might begin hexing him, as Ginny wheedled over exchanging a nervous glance with Harry. Either the result would be what they wanted or Ginny would feel exceptionally guilty ruining their friendship. With bated breath, they waited. (A/N Thanks Wzetle) "What would it matter to you that I'm with Ernie?!" she mimicked. "Same reason it matters to you that I've been with Orla" he yelled, and then because she could feel the strain and the confusion, tears sprung to her eyes and she sighed hopelessly. "Because I'm jealous!" she blurted, " That's why it matters to me!" Maybe she meant to say this part in her head, but it came out, albeit quietly. The words were too quick, but they registered with Ron and his expression changed. Hermione and Ron didn't notice the collective gasp that gushed in the common room at that moment. Ron just looked at her in amazement as she refused once again to meet his eyes. She bit her lower lip in nervousness, something Ron couldn't help but notice. "Jealous?" Ron stammered dumbfounded and she just laughed again, this time in trepidation. 'Now he's going to tell me I'm a big great prat, that we're friends, that's all.....' "What in the hell should you be jealous for?" he demanded a little more softly, stressing the you. She looked up, but before Hermione could launch into her explanation, he continued... "Its me who should be jealous." Hermione felt like her heart would stop beating as she looked up into his sincere blue eyes questioningly. Then Ron did something that caught the whole room off guard. Making one fluent move he caught Hermione lips in a breathtaking kiss. All the emotion, confusion, and pent up tension of the last few years were immediately wiped clean from both of their minds with that one kiss and Hermione thought her legs would go weak as she relaxed into the kiss. Lavender and Parvati squealed and looked to eachother with tears in their eyes, muttering 'Romantic' under their breath When Ron pulled away, Hermione looked at him with happy tears now streaming from her face. He did something she didn't think would ever happen, he finally put to words the feeling both of them had been skirting around for the longest time. "Why would you ever be jealous? Don't you know its always been you and only you" he said softly running his fingers along her face gently and she learned her forward against him sniffing silently. She smiled. "Its always been you too" she whispered and then it was his turn to grin. That was when they were brought out of their reverie by the whoops and hollers echoing throughout the Gryffindor common room at everyone's relief at the scene before them. Ron grinned cheekily but Hermione cringed and covered her face in her hands. Ron looked at Hermione, ignoring everyone around him and asked, "So I guess that means... you and Me....?" and she nodded much to his relief, as he was getting tongue tied in his happiness, despite his blossoming courage over the years. He squeezed her hand tightly. Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger finally a couple. He liked the sound of that just fine, he thought as he looked to Hermione who was blushing furiously. Ron looked to Harry who gave him an approving nod. Harry laughed and then looked to Ginny, who was giggling with Sarah now. She looked at him and Harry couldn't help but feel something pass between them.
Well? Was that to everyone's satisfaction. Never really written a romantic scene before. Tell me what you think. Tomorrow is the practice.....remember? Or did you think it was JUST going to be a Ron Hermione fic? I'm toying with the idea of Harry and Ginny together?
