Chapter 5: Can't Stop the Feeling

Even though Ron did not live with his parents, he sometimes came back to use their Quidditch pitch. When ever he needed to calm down or think he fly around on his broom.

A witch appeared on the ground with a soft pop. But Ron didn't take any notice. Hermione looked around to see where Ron was. She gazed up and saw him flying only twenty feet above her. She lifted her wand and let out red sparks up towards Ron.

"What the hell?" he turned his broom and started zooming down to where the sparks came from. He realized who it was before he hit the ground making him crash because he was so shocked to see her. She ran towards him trying to help him up. He stumbled backwards getting out of her grasp.

"Hermione? What do you think you're doing" Ron asked confused and worried that something was wrong.

"This." Hermione said taking a step forward, grabbed Ron's head, pulled it down to her level, and then touched his lips to hers. A huge rush fell over both of them, especially Ron. He felt confused, worried about Hermione's sanity. But as the kiss deepened Ron's feelings about her sanity washed away. The two of them felt nothing but love for the other. After a couple of minutes Ron pulled away.

"Ron, what's the matter?" Hermione asked worried that she did something wrong.

"Nothing" Ron replied confused at him self for stepping back.

"Then why did you pull away?"

"I...uh..." Ron couldn't find words. He loved Hermione but didn't know how she felt about him. Did she love him? Did she call off her wedding? Did Tom call off the wedding and Hermione needed a rebound? Or was she still getting married to Tom and needed one last fling before she returned to him? If the answer to the last question was yes Ron wouldn't be it. As much as he loved her he had feelings too and didn't want her to them. "Um...where's Tom?"

"What?" Hermione said in confusion. Why would Ron ask her that? Didn't he love her to? Maybe Ginny lied. Did Hermione make a mistake? She just left a great guy at the alter for the guy of her dreams. The only problem was she didn't know if she was the girl of his dreams.

"Well, I was just wondering if I should say congratulations yet." Ron said trying not to with any emotion, even though it was killing him inside.

"Ron what are you talking about?!" Hermione replied now mad that he broke the kiss then confusing her.

"I'm talking about you and Tom! I was just wondering if you said your I dos yet or is he waiting for you to get your last kiss from another guy out of the way!" Ron started to yell. Hermione wished she could kiss him to make him shut up but thought better of it. But she had to say something.

"Wait, you think I came here to get my last kiss before I get married?" She said with a laugh.

"YES!" Why was she doing this to him? Didn't she realize she was pulling out his heart and stomping on it!

"Are you mad?!" Hermione asked with a smile. Ron looked at her like she was the one who was insane.

"WHAT?!"

"That's why you pulled away right? You think I'm still getting married."

"Well, yeah. I don't normally have best friends aporated in a wedding dress in less they were getting married."

"Yes. But did you ever think that she might have left before she walked down the aisle because she realized she was being an idiot that loved someone else she couldn't live without?"

"Really?" Ron asked with a smile creeping on his face.

"Really!" Hermione said, tears of joy filled her eyes. Both Ron and Hermione started closing in the gap between them that seemed to have grown bigger over the course of their "discussion."

"You actually left him at the altar." He said laughing at her.

"Ron, don't push it." She threaten but still smiled.

"What? So...Who is this guy you left him for anyway? Tall? Red Haired? Bloody handsome? Perfect guy?" Ron asked to ease his desire of running up and kissing her.

"Actually he's kind of a dumb ass." The space now closed they were only inches apart. Hermione wrapped her arms around Ron's neck.

"Do you mind?"

"Not one bit."

"That's good." Ron said as he smiled and touched his nose to hers. She started standing on her toes. "Hermione wait."

"What?" Now she was getting mad. All she wanted to do was kiss him and he wouldn't let her.

"I just wanted to do this right." He got down on his knee, reached in his pocket, and pulled out the wooden ring.

"Oh my God" Hermione put her hand to her mouth, she was shocked. Tears ran down her face. No feeling could ever explain how wonderful she felt. She loved him with all her heart. And he loved her.

"Hermione Granger. I can't image my life without you. Will you marry me?"

"Yes!!" She said in between tears. Ron beamed, his smile glowed. He stood up, took his eyes off hers to look at her ring finger, and placed the ring on it. She smiled at him before turning back to her fingerer. The inscription read "A perfect love (filled with a lot of arguments)" Hermione shocked her head then gazed back to her love.

"Funny." She smirked to him.

"I thought so." He bent down and kissed her. Now it was unstoppable. At least Hermione thought until Ron broke apart again.

"What now?" Hermione wined

"I never did give you a 'good' reason" He answered.

"Do you have one?"

"Only that I love you."

"Now that's a good reason." And with that the two went on kissing (with none of Ron's interruptions).
