Disclaimer: Okay everyone, I own nothing you recognize. That belongs to
J.K Rowling. I am not J. K. Rowling. Surprised? I know, it came as a shock
to me too when I found out.
A/N * All of my reviewers, you are so AMAZING!!!! I love you all!! Thank you so much! You all might have noticed that I changed the rating. I know it's a big change, but it's just in case, because things get a little intimate in this chapter and I figured better safe than sorry. NO GROSS DETAILS!!!! I promise, just some intimacy. Also, I'm sorry about how short this chapter is, it just doesn't really fit at the end of the last one. The next one will be longer, I promise! Please R&R!!!! Thanks everyone! You are all so amazing!
Chapter 5: Together
"You are too distracted, Ron!" said Lavender, extremely frustrated. "You need to have each of these card meanings down pact by Friday."
"There are over a hundred, Lav! It's not that easy!" Ron retorted.
"It's easy if you would just try." Ron rolled his eyes.
"All right, fine." Ron made a big show of getting out the flashcards he had made. "See? I'm trying." Lavender tutted in a fashion very similar to Hermione. Ron laughed and began flipping through his flashcards. He stopped at the Silver Cross.
"I don't get this one. How does a Siler Cross mean pure? Shouldn't that be a unicorn or something?" Ron asked. Lavender moved in closer to explain it to him.
"No. Well, a unicorn would work to I suppose, but this makes sense. Silver is supposedly the most pure metal. That's what all the ancient alchemists said. And the cross represents the church, which is pure. Get it?" Lavender was sitting extremely close to Ron, and leaning over to his notes, in order to explain it to him. Ron didn't mind in the slightest. He looked up at Lavender, their faces only inches apart.
"Yeah. That makes sense." He said in a whisper, not allowing his eyes to stray from Lavender's. She stared back with just as much intensity. A moment passed in silence.
"Ron," Lavender whispered.
"Yes?" They never broke eye contact.
"I'm going to kiss you now."
"Sounds good." Lavender leaned in, and her lips gently touched Ron's. Ron wrapped his arms around Lavender, as their kiss got more and more powerful. After a few moments, Lavender pulled back to her own seat.
"Wow," Was all she could manage to say.
"That pretty much sums it up." Ron responded, grinning. "So, we could study some more, or we could . . ." Lavender smiled.
"Let's do that." Ron pulled her in for another wonderful kiss.
*~*~*~*~*
"Finally!" Said Ron triumphantly as he threw down the last of his flashcards. "I know all 186 of them!"
"Good for you, Ron" Said Hermione, not looking up from her Arithmancy book.
"Wonderful." Said Harry, with the same lack of enthusiasm, still struggling to get through his History of Magic work.
"Don't all jump for joy at once, now." Ron said sarcastically. Harry looked up.
"We all still have work to do." Ron laughed.
"Better you than me, mate." Ron looked at his watch. "Jesus! It's already two! I'm going to bed. You two coming?"
"No." Harry and Hermione said together. Ron shook his head and headed up the dormitory stairs. Harry and Hermione worked in silence for a while. Finally, Harry shut his History of Magic book. He checked his watch.
"Ron's right. It is really late. We should go to bed, Herm."
"Can't Harry. I still have another hundred pages for Arithmancy!" Harry sat down next to Hermione and put his arm around her. He stifled a long yawn.
"Come on, Herm. The common room emptied hours ago! What's the worst that could happen if you don't read it?" Harry suggested. Hermione looked highly offended.
"Harry! I can't not do the work!" Harry laughed, and leaned in for a kiss. He gently pulled the book out of her hands and tossed it onto a table by the barley flickering fire. He and Hermione fell back onto the soft, red couch, kissing all the while. Harry gently pulled a stray strand of Hermione's hair and placed it behind her ear.
"I love you." Harry whispered.
"I love you, too." Hermione whispered back. Harry slowly unbuttoned Hermione's robes and pulled them over her head, trailing his fingers along the gentle slope of Hermione's stomach. Hermione pulled Harry's sweater over his head. Their lips and bodies touched. They were together.
