Magic in the South
Chapter 6: First Kisses
Now on with the show...

"We need to talk!" they both said nervously at the same time. They looked up at each other and laughed in an awkward way and started a conversation that would change things between them forever.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
It's now or never thought Ron as he looked up at Hermione with hopeful eyes.
"Listen Hermione, I think we need...to talk about what happened before we got on the train today." Started Ron in a shaky voice.
"That is exactly what I wanted to talk to you about. But I will let you finish," said Hermione in a small voice.
"That's good, cause I don't think that I will have the nerve to do this again. Hermione I... I am not sure what came over me...you- I mean...us today. I don't know about you, but I felt something that I ...man, I am having a hard time getting this out. I guess what I am trying to say is that I ...," he stopped suddenly looking her in the eyes.
Hermoine couldn't believe what she was hearing. Was Ron trying to say what she thought he was?
"Hermione...I, I like you. I really do! Man, I have been wanting to tell you that forever, but I was so afraid that you wouldn't like me back. But I can't help but feel that I might do something crazy like try and kiss you again," he said as he exhaled in relief.
He then looked up at Hermione. She had a look of great shock on her face. He instantly regretted what he had just said. He was so sure that she had felt the same way, until he saw her face.
"Oh gods Hermione! I can't believe I just said that. I am so sorry. I hope this doesn't change what you think of me. I still want to be your friend. It's just that I was so sure that you felt the same way until I saw your..." only he was cut off by Hermione.
Hermione, upon understanding what Ron was trying to say, couldn't feel happier. But when she heard him say that last bit, she felt that she should do something to stop him before he did something stupid like say it was all a mistake. So she did the only thing she could think of that she knew would shut him up right away. So she grabbed his face with both hands and pressed her lips to his in a kiss.
Ron, instantly after registering what was going on, put one hand around her waist and one behind her head. He couldn't believe what was going on. He had just confessed his feelings for Hermione and he was now kissing her! It was like a dream to come true for him.
The kiss was light, yet had so much passion that anyone in the room could have felt the energy between the couple. The kiss last for a while longer, until they both needed some air, and they reluctantly pulled away and looked into each other's eyes.
"WOW!" said Ron as he sat down into the armchair next to the couch where Hermione was sitting. He was afraid that if he sat anywhere to close to her he would kiss her until his dying day. That was, by far, the best thing he had ever done in his life.
"Ron, in case you haven't noticed, I like you too. A lot, actually," she said blushing like there was no tomorrow.
"Well I would hope so, because after a kiss like that, I would have a hard time not doing that every time I saw you if you said you felt otherwise," said Ron, his nervousness clearly ebbing away.
Hermione blushed and looked up at Ron. She was so happy that they had admitted their feelings for each other. She got up and walked over to where he was sitting and sat down in his lap, surprising herself at her own daring.
Ron was definitely not complaining about Hermione's new seat. He looked into her eyes as they began to move forward. Their lips touched and the energy between them surged throughout their bodies. Ron wrapped his arms around her waist and she wrapped her arms around his neck. The kiss was simple, yet it was driving the both of them insane.
"Man, I am going to have to try really hard not to jump on you and do that every time I see you!" said Ron as he caught his breath.
"Well, I am pretty sure Harry wouldn't like that, don't you think?" ask Hermione. "What are we going to tell him Ron?"
"Harry knew that I liked you, so he was just waiting for me to do something about it. But I was planning on telling him tomorrow, since we don't have any classes."
"That was nice of Dumbledore to give us a day to get settled in."
Ron sat back thinking of all the things that had happened in the last hour. He couldn't believe he had the girl of his dreams in his lap right now. He guessed she was getting tired, because she slowly leaned back against him and looked into his eyes. But before they went up to their separate dorm rooms, he had a few questions to ask her.
"Hermione, I was just wondering...when did you find out that you liked me? I have liked you for a while now but..."
"Well, I suppose I started liking you in our second year, right after I found out that you went into the forest of spiders for me. I also thought that it was very brave of you to curse Malfoy for me as well," concluded Hermione.
"I started liking you when we had that Yule Ball in our fourth year. I was so mad when you were going with Krum that I came back to my dorm and tore up my model of him. I think Harry might have saw..." but Ron stopped only to hear Hermione chuckling. It was apparent that she was trying to hide it, but she was having quite some difficulty. "Hermione what is do funny?"
"You tore up your model of him because you were jealous of him? And all this time here I was thinking that you were mad that he was going against Harry when all you really were was jealous!" said Hermione.
"NO!.... No...I wasn't jealous...I was...ok, ok I was jealous!" said Ron turning very red.
"Ron, its ok! I think it was very sweet. But you see it would have never worked between the two of us, because I was too busy thinking of another wizard," said Hermione, her laughter subsiding as she once again settled back into Ron's chest.
Ron, being the prat that he is, just had to ask Hermione "Who?"
"Well, Ron, I would have thought that was obvious by now. I mean, he just told me he liked me, and we just kissed twice."
Ron began to blush once more. Yeah, he was pretty sure he knew the answer, but he wanted to make her say it, just to make sure that it was real.
"And I might add that he is a great kisser. I was glad to have him as my first kisser."
"That was your first kiss?" asked Ron.
"Yes well...I was kind of waiting for you to ask me out. I was hoping that my first kiss would be with you."
"Well...that was my first kiss...too," said Ron.
"I find that hard to believe.
"It was!" Ron protested.
"Ok, ok! I believe you. It is just kind of unbelievable that you are that good on your first try."
Ron began to blush...AGAIN!
"But I am glad that you are and that I am the first to experience it," said Hermione, trying to relieve Ron of some of his embarrassment.
"Hermione, I was hoping that you would be the only to experience, for quite a while. Would you...would you be my....my girlfriend?" ask Ron in he hoped wasn't in a too hopeful voice, but he was unsuccessful.
Hermione was so happy that she decided that she could only answer him one way. She was afraid that if she opened her mouth, she might faint, so she did the next best thing.
She kissed him.
Ron was so proud of himself that he actually had gotten the words out that he didn't even notice Hermione's face....until it was pressed up against his. When they broke apart, Ron looked into her eyes.
"I guess I will take that as a yes, will I?" asked Ron.
"You had better!" said Hermione as she hit him playfully.
"Ok, ok! I do!"
The clock then rang out. It was midnight.
"I think we had better go to bed." Said Hermione.
"Yeah, I guess you are right. Well, goodnight Hermione!"
"Goodnight Ron!" she got up, kissed him on the cheek, and walked up her staircase.
Ron decided he had better go up. He had to get some sleep, and think about what he was going to tell Harry.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
A/N: Well, another chapter is done! In the next one, Ron will have a talk with Harry, and we will see what the school looks like on the grounds. I may not get the next one up as soon as I got this one up, so be patient. It will come when it comes. But the more you review, the faster my fingers go (HINT! HINT!)
Thank you for Reading!
