Chapter 3

"Oh my god Ginny! You'll never guess!" I said as I ran into the dinning room

"I already know. I saw the whole thing. Including the part where you two lovebirds finally kissed." I felt myself blush as she made a fake dreamy face.

"Y-y-you saw?"

"Yes"

"Well now that you know about that," well at least I don't have to explain about outside, "I was wondering," I didn't hear the door creek open during the conversation, "how you think I should go about letting Ron know that I have feelings for him?"

"Kiss him obviously! Like you did outside, the one on the lips, how could he resist that? Plus then he would finally know that you like him." Did I kiss Ron back? I thought that he was the one doing the kissing.

"Oh Hermione! I knew it! I knew that someday you'd want to come out in the open about your feelings for Ron!" Shit, Mrs. Weasley had heard the conversation. "I think that you should get more clothes like those." she pointed to my outfit, " Did you see how much he drooled over you? We'll HAVE to go shopping! We can take along Ginny and Ron. Ron can pick out some clothes for you to try on! Oh my goodness it will be so fun!" she was starting to sound like a giddy school girl. Then she saw Ginny's face, "But we must wait till Harry comes so we can do that with him and Ginny! Oh and remember you two, let them come after you, men should make the first move. Oh and Hermione, kiss him more! Like you did outside. Yes dear I knew you were lying, but it's all right. " she must have seen my face, "You wanted to save Ron's neck so you could kiss him again. Don't worry, I understand. I did almost the exact same thing with Arthur at your age. In a few years you'll be my daughter in law!"

"Now Mrs. Weasley, not to be rude, but let's not take this too far. I don't' even know if Ron likes me. Let alone whether he wants to marry me or not."

"He more than likes you!"

"How do you know?"

"Well I do have my motherly right to read his diary, he keeps a picture of you in his dresser drawers, and I've heard him talking to the twins, Charlie, Bill, and even Percy about you. None of them gave good advice, but then he talked to Arthur. He told him to write love letters, get flowers, and gifts." "And what did Ron say?" he hasn't done that, is she lying to me? No, she wouldn't, I'm too much like a daughter to her.

"He thanked him but said that he wasn't that far in your relationship. And that he didn't even know if you liked him. So then Arthur instead told him to make the first move. And if you took the relationship a step further then he should take it another. That's probably why he kissed you and dipped you, when you only kissed him on the cheek. And no he wasn't joking around. He's taken many acting classes." I felt my heart jump as she said all of this. Did he really like me? Mrs. Weasley wouldn't lie to me.

"Then why did you yell at him?"

"Oh that. Well I wanted to make sure that you were ready and ok with a relationship with him. You saved his neck, so obviously you are. But I'll still yell at him just so he doesn't think we're up to something. Speaking of which, are your parents ok with you having a relationship? Any rules?"

"Well, I'm not supposed to date till I'm sixteen. Except when it comes to school things, like dances, those are ok. Ron knows that rule."

"Well when do you turn sixteen dear?" Mrs. Weasley asked eagerly.

"I already am."

"Well that's why he started asking Arthur about you just over the summer! And that also must be why he just decided to make a move on you!" Mrs Weasley tried to say something else but we were interrupted by Ron swinging open the door.

"Finished unpacking all your stuff Hermione! Except your clothes," Ron's face turned red again. I love it so much when he does that. "I didn't want to...er... intrude, so I left that for you." Ginny giggle and Ron's face grew even redder.

"Oh Ron! I don't mind! You see me wearing the clothes, so what's the difference with seeing them in my suitcase?" Why was he acting so weird about my clothes?

"Er...well I put those away, but what I mean by your clothes...er...your...uh...undergarments." Ginny laughed very loud and stared rolling on the floor.

"Oh! Those...er...well it wouldn't have bothered me if you put them away. Just as long as you didn't steal them or anything." His face grew a little less red.

"Well you kids better go wash up for dinner!" Ron and I remained silent until we were in the bathroom without Ginny. "Er Hermione?" Oh god please don't let him have heard! I'll die f he heard us!

"Yah?"

"Why were you guys talking about you being sixteen?" shit! What am I supposed say? What if he heard the whole conversation? "Were you guys talking about how old you had to be when you're allowed to date?"

"Er... yah we were."

"Oh. Ok." I'm so glad he handles these things so well.

Dinner was a little quieter than usual in the Weasley house. Afterwards things livened up and Ron started carrying me around the house. I playfully screamed to let me go, but he only held me tighter. Then he started to yell, "make way for the queen!" and walked into his room. I then started to playfully flail around in his arms when he held me so close to him I could see the stubble on his face from shaving that morning, he looked at me nervously then kissed me.

"Ronald!!"

"No Mrs. Weasley we were playing again. Really it's ok."

"Oh, well I'm sorry dears! I just wanted to say, Ginny got an owl from Harry. And well, well now Ginny and Harry are dating." Ron put me back on my feet.

"Wha...wha... what??" Ron managed to say.

"I said that they're dating now! And from the looks of it," she glanced at me and then Ron, "you two either have been keeping secrets from me, or you should be. What with all of your 'playing' going 'a bit' too far." Ron turned red, "Oh and Hermione, would you mind sharing a room with Ron once Harry gets here? Ginny want's to share a room with Harry and Ron's been very eager to share his room with you." Ron turned even redder and I new I was blushing. "So? Is it yes or is it no?" Ron looked at me with both scared and hopeful. I saw Mrs. Weasley mouth the words "please say yes."

"Sure" I couldn't believe this was really happening.

"Good. You can sleep on the bottom bunk, where Harry usually sleeps and Ron can sleep on the top, as usual. But, you may change the sleeping arrangement if you want. Just both agree on it, I don't' want you two fighting again. Oh and Hermione, If need be, Ron knows the infertility curse." she said with a wink. Ron and I were both bright red now, "It's one the only bit of magic that is ok to do outside of school. Just remember to use it before hand." I looked at Ron as she left the room. Did she really think? No she couldn't. We aren't even married yet! And she was his mother!

We sat down on Ron's bed. "Er... well we'll have to move your things into my room soon and I'll have to write Harry a letter asking him if he can come. And ...er... you just tell me if," he was blushing again now,"if you want me to tell you the curse for infertility and I'd be happy to sleep with you. I mean give you the curse!" He blushed and corrected himself very quickly and I heard him curse at himself under his breath.

"Ok" I knew what he meant. If I asked him the curse it would basically say that I wanted to sleep with him. I was still looking at him, he was looking at his feet then he looked up at me. I sat on his lap and he put his muscular arms around my waist. Wait, since when did Ron have muscles? After about ten minutes I started to get sleepy. I leaned my head on him and closed my eyes. "Sorry if I accidently fall asleep on you." I said with a yawn.

I woke up the next morning in the bottom bunk bed, still in yesterday's clothes. Knock, knock, knock, "Who is it? Ron? Is that you Ron?"

"Yah! Are you decent?"

"Yep" He walked in through the door, he was already dressed for the day.

"You slept through breakfast, so I brought some up for you. Mum made you bacon and eggs, hope you like it."

"Course I do!"

"Oh and the twins are here for a visit today only cuz they want to see us kiss. I guess Mum and Ginny told them all about yesterday." I was already stuffing the breakfast in my mouth. "You must be really hungry huh? Do you want me to get you some more?"

I swallowed what was in my mouth, "No it's ok."

"Oh, ok. Well I sent Harry a letter last night asking him if he can come and when. He response letter was," he picked up a few pieces of paper, "'I'll expect to see you and Hermione kiss for me when I see you three days from now at about 3pm' then I told him. I then told him," Ron started getting angry, "That, since he and Ginny are dating now, if he laid a finger on Ginny that I would personally kill him. All he said was, 'OOPS! Too late Ron! Just be happy that Hermione doesn't have an older brother like you, of course that didn't stop me.' Well yah it didn't stop him! If it wasn't for Mum I wouldn't even know that they were dating!" Ron yelled as I finished the last bit of my breakfast.
