Disclaimer: I solemnly swear that I do not own any of the Harry Potter greatness that is.
Previously in Harry Potter and the Final Request:
"Ron, I only ran away before because..."
"Because...?" he encouraged.
"Because I was scared. They way you felt for me.... I wasn't sure how to respond. But now..."
What, God damnit?!
"Now I know how to respond. I think I feel the same way."
. . . .
"Ron?"
He looked up.
"Ron?" She touched his cheek lightly, brushing a stray hair out of his face.
"Hermione," he whispered.
He could feel himself moving closer towards her. She seemed awfully close herself. They were within inches of each other. Her amber eyes met his deep blue ones. He felt her lips on his, so soft...
He felt like was floating. It was so perfect, so right.
I've wanted this for so long...
Chapter 11
Hermione broke the kiss.
Oh no, don't stop...
"Well," she said looking at him intently. "It's getting late, and we have to get up early..."
Sigh. Once a Prefect, always a Prefect.
"...see you in the morning then?"
"Okay," he grinned.
She kissed him lightly on the cheek before getting up and exiting the room. He watched as she left, her curly brown hair trailing behind.
Save me!
"YES!" he cried, spreading his arms out and falling backwards onto his bed.
She kissed me! She kissed me! How blissful the feeling! I could fly! I could sing! Hmm... I think I shall.
Narrator: Brace yourselves everyone.
He got up and began leaping and frolicking about the room, singing a muggle love song he had heard a while ago. He failed to notice, however, a smirking Harry who was standing in the corner of the room hidden in the shadows. It was only until Ron was halfway through his gallivantings when he noticed Harry, who, by that time, was chortling like a loon.
Ah, shit.
He stopped in mid-arm swing.
"I see somebody got some action," he laughed.
"What? You know what a first kiss is like. I just happen to be caught up in the joyous feeling of the moment," he defended.
"I didn't say anything."
"But you were suggesting it."
"Oh young love! How I miss thee!" Harry mocked, attempting an over- dramatic Shakespearean act.
"Sod off Potter."
"Ooh, someone's a bit touchy."
Ron picked up a pillow and threw it at Harry.
"Would you stop doing that?" said Harry as he turned around to pick up the pillow that had passed through him. "It's a really uncomfortable feeling to have your ectoplasmic particles shifted around." He tossed the pillow back at Ron.
"Ah well, you deserved it," he said, catching the pillow and tossing it back haphazardly onto his bed.
"So, come on, gimme details," Harry encouraged.
"Well, it wasn't wet if that's what you wanted to know."
"She was crying! Granted it was about her dead boyfriend.... But sheesh! Can we please forget about that. Not one of my better moments." He scowled at Ron.
He's so touchy about that. Always a good laugh though.
"Nah, it was... nice."
"Nice?"
"Yeah. Nice." A dreamy look washed over his immensely freckled face.
"You look like a nutter. You realize that, don't you?"
"What?! You know how long I've liked her. She's amazing. She makes me feel so... alive. Like I can do anything." Okay, at what point should I have stopped talking?
Harry said nothing. He was lost for words.
"Love has given me wings, so I must fly." He again spread out his arms and fell backwards onto the bed.
"Okay, that's enough mush for me. You go fly away and I'll go downstairs."
"Alright then. See you in the A.M."
Harry rolled his eyes and walked out of the room.
About bloody time! I thought he'd never leave. Oh Hermione, how I long for thee. I wish you could grace me presence with your soft, angelic face. If only you were here with me, and I could hold you forever... Hermione, how I love you. How wonderful it is to think the word... Love, love, love, love, love!
Ron reached down and pulled a blanket onto his bed. He rolled onto his side, drawing the blanket up close.
Love...
He fell into a blissful slumber.

And all of your weight
And all you dream
Falls on me, it falls on me
And your beautiful sky
And the light you bring
Falls on me, it falls on me

If you didn't notice, "love has given me wings..." is from A Knight's Tale, and "love, how great it is to..." is from Ella Enchanted.
