A/N: Hey everyone. Sorry it's taken so long for this next chapter. I was supposed to write it with another author, but I haven't heard from her for a few months, so I guess I'll be writing the rest of this on my own. I hope you like it, and I'll try to update frequently. Although if I don't I apologize. Right now I have three major school projects going at once, and they require a lot of my time.
Hermione was still in a daze due to the events of the night before. She sat on her bed and smiled. Had it all really happened? Did Ron really kiss her? Or had it all been another one of her little fantasies?
"Hermione dear, breakfast is almost ready!" Mrs. Weasley announced.
"I'll be right there." Hermione replied.
She hurried to get dressed. She wanted to see Ron. So she threw on a red tee and a pair of jeans. Then after throwing her hair up into a ponytail she raced to the table. There she found Harry scarfing down a stack of pancakes, Ginny only eating a bowl of fruit, and Ron sitting with a plate full of food that hadn't been touched. This struck Hermione as an odd site.
"Why Ron, you haven't even touched your food yet. Is something wrong? Are you feeling ok?" Hermione placed a hand on his forehead to see if he had a fever.
He felt normal, so she withdrew her hand and sat down next to Ginny. Ron looked up at Hermione and blushed a little. Hermione blushed a bit too. And as she looked over at Ginny, she noticed an enormous grin on her face. Harry looked at all three of them cluelessly. He arched his eyebrows questioningly. Then Mrs. Weasley walked in and stopped.
"Are you children all right?" She asked with a light smile.
"I think so." Harry still sounded confused.
"What do you mean you think so? What's going on?" She questioned.
"I'm not quite sure." Harry answered as he looked over at Ron, and Hermione who were blushing, and Ginny who was grinning.
"It's nothing mother." Ginny spoke up.
So Mrs. Weasley shook her head and walked off to load the trunk with the luggage. Then Harry turned back to the three and stared. And then Ginny and Hermione began to giggle.
"Am I missing something?" Harry questioned.
"Harry, you are completely clueless and hopeless." Hermione sighed.
"Harry, haven't you noticed anything this morning?" Ginny smirked.
"No. Just tell me what's going on." He impatiently insisted.
"Ron and Hermione are. . . you know." Ginny laughed.
"What? And no one bothered to tell me? Wow, I was wondering how long it was going to take you two." Harry smiled.
"Well, I'll talk to you all later. I'm going to go pack the last of my stuff up before we go." Hermione got up and left the table.
Hermione hummed as she folded and placed the last of her clothes into her suitcase. What a year it was going to be! Ron really did like her! It only took forever, but it didn't matter. All that mattered was that she liked him and he liked her back. It was going to be the best year ever!
She looked up at the clock and noticed the time. She had five minutes before she had to leave. And suddenly she almost wished she didn't have to go back to school, and could stay just a few more days. Almost, but she was so excited about school. So she picked up one of her three suitcases and got ready to go when someone knocked on her door.
"Come in." She called.
It was Ron. He came in and smiled shyly. Hermione smiled back and blushed a little. Then Ron came beside her and picked up her other two bags.
"I thought you could use some help carrying your bags." He stated.
"Thank you." Hermione picked up her bag and led the way.
Hermione placed her bag in the trunk and moved out of Ron's way. She looked around and noticed no one else was around. Ron seemed to have the exact same thoughts, because next he wrapped his arms around Hermione's waist and stared down at her.
"Do you have any idea how long I've waited for you Ronald Weasley?" Hermione asked.
"It can't be anywhere near as long as I've waited for you." Ron smirked.
Hermione smiled and looked away. Ron took one hand and gently took a hold of Hermione's chin and made her look at him. He stared at her for a moment then he leaned in to kiss her. His lips softly brushed against hers, and then his lips began to lightly brush against her cheek and her neck as well.
"There you two are!" Mrs. Weasley burst out of the house.
Quickly Ron and Hermione separated. Both had frantic and nervous faces. Mrs. Weasley stopped and stared up at them. She arched an eyebrow and looked at the two of them.
"Is something going on?" She asked curiously
"No." Both Ron and Hermione said in unison.
"Then why do you two look like you're hiding something?" She questioned.
Just then Ginny walked out of the house. She knew what Ron and Hermione had been up to. She and Harry had been noticing them from her room. And as soon as she saw her mom heading outside she ran as fast as she could to see what was going on. Her mother was beginning to question them, and it was up to her to save them.
"Mom! Have you seen my wand?" Ginny called as she raced out to her mother's side.
"Why no dear. Don't tell me you've lost it again?" Mrs. Weasley shook her head.
"One minute it was there and the next it was gone!" Ginny cried.
"Well get a move on child. Let's find it!" Mrs. Weasley shooed Ginny into the house.
As soon as they were gone Ron and Hermione let out a sigh of relief. It was close. Ron knew that soon enough his mother would figure things out. That is if no one blurted it out. He just wanted some time with Hermione before his mom got all lovey and squealy. He could just see it. "Why Ron! Why didn't you tell me you were seeing Hermione?" His mother would make them matching sweatshirts at Christmas. She would invite Hermione over for every holiday, and would do every possible thing to embarrass him.
"That was close. I guess we should get in the car." Hermione sighed.
"Yeah, I guess so. Sorry, I didn't think that would happen." Ron apologized.
"It's all right. I didn't think of it either." Hermione shrugged.
Ron and Hermione walked around to the side of the car. He knew that any moment the rest of them would be coming, but he kissed her quickly on the cheek and held open her door.
"Your door my lady." Ron smiled.
"Thank you." Hermione giggled and took a seat.
Ron scooted in beside her. And shortly everyone else joined them. They all talked and laughed as they made their way towards the Hogwarts express. And as they reached it everyone gave Mrs. Weasley a giant hug.
"Harry, it's been a pleasure having you. Hermione, you're welcome any time. Ginny, be careful. And Ron, look out for your sister. Now, run along. I don't want you missing your train." She laughed and watched them all leave.
Hermione and Ron were happy to finally be out of her sight. They waited a moment and let Harry and Ginny go ahead of them. They decided they wanted a compartment to themselves and searched for an empty one.
They sat down and talked for a while. They laughed over the memories of their previous year, and their summer. They were happy just being in one another's company.
"Hey, you never did tell us what happened to Victor. What happened? You never mentioned him at all last year." Ron placed his arm around Hermione's shoulder.
"Oh, he came to visit me that summer, but the whole time I was with him I wasn't thinking of him. I was thinking of you. And I knew it wasn't fair to him, so now he's seeing a friend of mine, and they're quite happy." Hermione sighed.
"Wait, you liked me even then?" Ron smiled.
"Yes. I told you Ron, I've liked you for a very long time." Hermione stated.
Ron tilted his head to kiss her. His hand held her face, and hers went around his shoulders. Just his lips touched hers someone swung open the door to their compartment. Hermione and Ron snapped their heads to see who had rudely interrupted them.
"Granger this is no time to make out with your little boyfriend. Our meeting starts in five minutes and you're not even changed yet." Draco glared at the couple.
"I know what time it is. And have you ever heard of knocking?" Hermione hissed.
"Yes I have, but I shouldn't have to seeing how you two shouldn't be doing that crap where anyone can just walk right in on you. And do you have any idea just how much I did not want to see that? You're supposed to be setting an example for the younger students!" Draco smirked.
"Shut up Malfoy. Tell them I'll be there in a minute." Hermione sighed.
Malfoy shook his head and laughed. Then he walked off towards the front. Hermione turned back to Ron and sighed.
"Is there ever going to be a time when we're not interrupted?" Hermione laughed.
"I hope so." Ron answered.
"I've got to go. I'll see you later ok?" Hermione kissed his cheek.
A/N: So, was it ok? I know it wasn't the best of chapters. I wrote it in a hurry last night. I'll try to get the next chapter up within a few days. Review please, and please no flamers!
