Telling Ron
Chapter 17: The Burrow
Author's Note: Sorry guys, meant to have this up Friday but my homecoming football game was Friday night then I had to paint my nails for homecoming the next night plus shave my legs, and figure out what to do with my hair since I had to cancel my hair appointment because of a last minute ballet rehearsal. In other words, I was non-stop busy Friday and Saturday. Then today (Sunday) I started writing the chapter then three of my friends came over and I couldn't write anymore until like eight tonight. Thanks for reviewing! I've had a great weekend so far and you all make it that much better. Ok, they're going to the Burrow now! I don't really know how the students go home for Christmas so they're all going on the train in my fic.
Hermione's parents had owled her the next morning permitting her to go to the Burrow. A few days later, the students going home for Christmas were outside waiting for the train to pick them up. The weather was cold and it had just snowed the night before. Everyone stood shivering and rubbing their hands together for warmth. Ron had his arms wrapped around Hermione, her head laying against his chest. Ginny was vigorously rubbing her arms as she watched her brother and Hermione enviously. Harry watched her sadly, fighting the urge to hug Ginny to warm her as well. The train finally arrived and everyone ran on. The four of them found an empty compartment for themselves. Hermione sat down and buried herself in a book and the boys played Exploding Snap while Ginny watched. After a few game, they all ate lunch and discussed how Ron and Hermione would tell the Weasley's about their relationship.
"Why don't we tell them when we get off the train? We might as well tell them right away. There's no point in putting it off. Lots of people know already anyway," Hermione said.
Ron looked uncomfortable at this suggestion. Hermione raised her eyebrows at him questioningly.
"What?"
"Well, it's just...maybe we should...wait," he finished lamely, staring at his shoe.
"Why would we wait? You aren't embarrassed about us are you?"
"No it's not that! It's just, I don't want Mum to fuss over us and make a huge deal out of it. Plus Fred and George will...well who knws what they'll do."
"Honestly Ron, I think your family saw this coming. I doubt it will come as a big shock. They'll probably be happy for us. Don't worry so much," she said nudging his shoulder with hers.
Ron looked at her and groaned. "Fine we'll tell them."
Hermione smiled at him and continued eating. Harry watched Ginny as she chatted with Hermione. He wished they could have some time alone together but the other two didn't seem to want to leave them. Harry marveled at how Ginny could eat so daintily since Ron ate like his food would disappear if it wasn't eaten within five minutes. Ginny noticed him watching her and winked at him. He grinned at her and winked back.
As the train slowed down at the end of the journey, they all gathered their belongings and waited for the doors to open. As they stepped out, they saw Mr. and Mrs.Weasley waving at them happily. Mrs.Weasley came forward and hugged each of them. Mr.Weasley shook everyone's hands and hugged his daughter.
"Hello Harry! I'm so glad you're here."
"Thank you, Mrs.Weasley. It's wonderful to see you!"
"And Hermione, dear, we're so happy you could join us!"
"Oh thank you for inviting me! Well Ron and I have some n-" Hermione was cut off by a sudden coughing fit from Ron.
"Ron are you alright?" Mrs.Weasley looked at him concerned.
"Yeah-Mum-I'm-okay-" Ron sputtered in between coughs. "Must be smoke form the train."
"Well let's get going then. Everyone is waiting for us to come home," Mrs.Weasley said, ushering them out of the station. They got in the Weasley's new car and left the parking lot. Hermione glared at Ron the whole way. He stared out the window to avoid her glare. Ginny and Harry were seated next to each other with their hands on the seat between them, fingers touching lightly so no one would notice.
They finally arrived at the Burrow to find Bill, Charlie, and the twins waiting outside for them.
"Hermione! Simply smashing to see you!" Fred came and hugged her like he hadn't seen her for years.
"Yes absolutely stupendous!" George came forward and grabbed her from Fred. "So how is our little brother doing in school? Following in our noble footsteps or being a pansy rule-keeper like our prat Percy?"
Hermione rolled her eyes at them. "Closer to your footsteps I'm sorry to say."
Fred put his hand over his heart dramatically. "Hermione that hurts us deeply!"
George grabbed his brother's shoulder for support. "Are you saying that you'd rather he turn out to be like the Ministry lover I sadly call my brother?"
"No not at all. I just wish he would take school a bit more seriously."
The twins looked at her like they were full of knowledge. "Oh Hermione, you don't need to take school so seriously. Your adolescence is the time for fun not non-stop work! Work is for when you're older!" Fred shook his head at her sadly and left to bother Ron. George saluted her and followed his brother. Hermione chuckled and went to say hi to Bill and Charlie.
"Ronnie! How are things going, little brother?" Fred clapped Ron's shoulder and smiled widely at him.
"Oh alright."
"Splendid! So how is Hermione? Anything interesting happened with her yet?" George said quietly.
"Like what?" Ron looked between them nervously.
"Come on Ron, we know you want her. Why don't you go for it? She likes you too you know." George grinned at him knowingly.
"I don't know what you're talking about." Ron pretended to be interested in a tree nearby.
"Well Ron, if you aren't going to make a move, we're going to have to interfere. Be prepared. By the time you leave here, you and Hermione will be together." Fred winked at him and headed away to greet Harry. George pushed Ron's shoulder and turned away. Ron put his hand over his face and groaned.
Once everyone had said hello, they all headed inside. The new arrivals took their lugage upstairs to their rooms. Harry went to Ron's room as usual and Hermione followed Ginny. Bill and Charlie were in the twins old room and Fred and George were going to sleep in the living room.
Ginny went to the loo and left Hermione alone in their room. She went to Ron's room and grabbed his arm. She pulled him back to her room and closed the door behind her.
"Why did you stop me earlier?" She looked at him angrily.
"What are you talking about?" Ron said avoiding her eyes.
"You know perfectly well what I'm talking about! You started coughing so I wouldn't tell them! Why won't you let me?" She faced him with her hands on her hips.
"Look I'm sorry but it didn't feel like the right time!" Ron looked at her angry face and sighed.
"Well when will be the right time?"
"I don't know."
"I don't know either. I want to tell them now but it seems I have to wait for you to be ready."
"You know what? Fred and George said that by the end of the holiday, they're going to get us together." Ron laughed as he said this. "Too bad we beat them to it."
"See? We should tell them so that they won't do anything embarrassing to get us to kiss and stuff like that."
"They'll do that whether we're together already or not."
"Ron can we please just tell your family? I don't want a bunch of secrets between everyone."
Ron looked at her confused. "What do you mean a bunch? This is one secret."
Hermione mentally smacked herself. She had been thinking of Harry and Ginny's secret when she said that. Or at least what she figured was a secret relationship between them. She hadn't asked them about it or told them she saw them that day by the tree.
"Oh yes but one secret will turn into a lot more so we should say it and get it over with." She looked at him nervously and saw him thinking it over.
"Alright we can tell them at dinner."
"Are we really going to tell them or will you start choking on your food to stop me?"
He laughed and sat down on her bed, pulling her down to his lap. "I promise I won't choke on purpose. It could happen on accident though."
"It wouldn't surprise me the way you eat." She smiled at him and he kissed her cheek, hugging her tightly to him. "It would've been interesting to see what the twins were going to do to get us together though," Ron chuckled.
"No. I don't even want to know." Ron shrugged and leaned back on the bed. Hermione layed beside him, her arm draped over his stomach and hand laced in his. He put his other arm around her shoulders and looked into her beautiful eyes. She smiled at him and he kissed her forehead. He continued kissing her down to her jaw and she sighed happily. He shifted a bit to face her and kissed her lips repeatedly. She released his hand and ran it through his hair. He layed his free hand on the lower part of her back, pulling her closer to him. They stayed there kissing each other for awhile and Ron eventually rolled on top of her. (A/N: Don't worry they aren't going to have sex or aything! Don't get freaked out! I know this a PG fic!) She sank into the bed with his weight on her and cupped his face in her hands. He put his elbows on either side of her and lifted himself slightly up. She pulled his face down to hers and kissed him deeply. She opened her mouth a little and he complied readily.
After at least ten miuntes of this, Ron lifted his head up to breathe. Hermione closed her eyes and groaned happily. He stayed on top of her as they caught their breath. Hermione asked what time it was and he said it was almost time for dinner. Ron kissed her one last time and rolled off her onto his back. They sat up and she went to the mirror to fix her hair and make sure she looked normal. He came behind her and did the same. He put his arms around her waist and looked at her in the mirror.
"I love you very much."
"I love you too," she whispered. He kissed her cheek and they left Ginny's room to go to dinner.
* * * * *
After leaving the loo, Ginny poked her head into Ron's room to see Harry sitting on his bed.
"Where's Ron?"
"Hermione grabbed him and took him to your room. She looked angry."
"I hope if they make up they stay on Hermione's bed." She shuddered at the thought and closed the door. Harry laughed then looked down to the book in his lap.
"What are you reading?" She asked as she sat down beside him.
"It's a photo album Hagrid gave me my first year. It has pictures of me and my parents when I was a baby and of their wedding." He pointed at the picture of his parents and Sirius on their wedding day. Ginny smiled at the picture and put her hand on his. "It's wonderful."
"Thanks." He closed the album and turned to face her. "So how are you?"
"I'm fine but I've missed you lately. We haven't had a chance to be alone for awhile."
"I know, I've missed you too." He rubbed his thumb up and down her hand. "I wish we could've had our own compartment on the train."
"Me too but that might have seemed a bit weird." She grinned at him. "Ron would have been very curious."
Harry laughed. "Yeah, he would have unless he asked to be alone with Hermione but then he might have expected us to go sit with some other Gryffindors or something."
Ginny nodded and kissed his hand. He looked into her eyes and leaned forward. Their lips touched and they shared a soft but passionate kiss. She fingered his messy hair and he put his hand behind her neck. She made her way into his lap and they continued giving each other gentle, lengthy kisses. They eventually stopped and put their foreheads against each other. Harry ran his hand up and down her arm. Ginny felt goosebumps all over and butterflies in her stomach. She put her head on his shoulder and he wrapped his arms around her petite body.
"Are you cold?" he asked.
"No, I'm fine." She put her arms around his middle and sighed with contentment. Minutes later, they heard someone pass through the hall and Harry looked at his watch. He told Ginny it was time for dinner and she groaned.
"I wish we could just stay like this," she whispered. He agreed and kissed the top of her head. She took her arms off him and he released her. They stood up and Harry took her hand. Opening the door, he looked in the hall to find it empty. They stepped out and walked down stairs to the dining area where they released their hands. Almost everyone was already seated and Mrs. Weasley was in the kitchen finishing the cooking. Once the food was set on the table and everyone had sat down, Ron cleared his throat and stood up.
"Um I have an announcement to make."
Author's Note: Wow after all that fluff, I'm in a very good mood! I hope everyone liked it. I feel like this was much better than my closet scene. I wasn't very happy with the closet scene but this made up for it. Also, I updated later than I wanted to so this chapter is farely long to make up for it. Hope you guys are happy! I hope R/H on the bed didn't bother anyone but what do you expect people on a bed to do? If they don't sleep together, (which they didn't) then they're going to make-out!
Individuals:
Hermione182: I know I can't wait either! I hope you like Christmas in the story!

KrisKG: Wow, you dance a lot too! I like it too but it's been really stressful lately because I'm in the company at my dance school and we have a lot of shows and rehearsals. I'm not sure I want to do it again next year. I'll still dance but maybe not do company. Depends on how this year goes. Anyway, glad you liked it! Yeah, a Weasley Christmas should be fun!
Ella Weasley: Crossing your fingers worked! Lots of fluff this chapter!
starbob: Hey Melissa! I'm looking forward to writing Christmas. Yeah that would be funny if Ginny did that. I'll update as soon as I can!

Lily106: I like it when Ginny is sweet like that. It wouldn't surprise me if Percy acted like that!
samurai-lapin: Thanks! Don't worry, R/H is my fav couple too and I won't forget them as you read this chapter! I'll have more stuff from them and some from H/G since so many like them too. But I promise I won't forget R/H.
Manga-lunatic: Thank you!
Kagome19: Sorry it wasn't very long. Hope this one was long enough! It was called that because Hermione said, "Ron I'm not a snog machine!" I thought it'd be funny for her to say that. Please do e-mail me if you think of anything! I'll gladly comsider any ideas given to me. I can't guarantee I'll use all the ideas but I'll definately consider them!
Penelope Richwood: Sorry you aren't big on H/G. They're going to continue to play a part in the story though, just to warn you. But R/H will still be in it so hopefully you'll still like the story! I agree they are meant for each other!
