Just Friends? :: Chapter Seven- Ron/Hermione
"Go talk to her." Harry said.
"Ok. I'm ready to do this." He took a deep breath. Of course he was ready to do this, he had been ready to do it Second Year. He walked down the stairs and into the Common Room. Hermione was sitting on the floor, in front of the roaring fire.
"Hi." He looked down at her; God she looks so beautiful, he thought to himself.
"Hi Ron." She smiled and tugged on his robes, as a sign for him to sit down next to her.
"We need to talk."
"Yeah, we do."
"Mione, the reason I did it is because I love you." His blue eyes were twinkling against the fire, stable and unmoving.
She closed her eyes for several seconds, reopened them and replied, "Ronald Weasley, I love you." She stared into his eyes, as he stroked her wavy brown hair. He gently cradled her chin so that her lips would meet his. He kissed her passionately. She returned his kiss and looked into his eyes, "You have no idea how long I've been waiting for you to do that."
He put his long freckled arms around her, "I believe I do."
She buried her face into his chest, and that is how they stayed until morning.

When Hermione opened her eyes, the next morning, she was still in Ron's arms. She liked being there, and could get used to the feeling. His right arm was across her, resting on her stomach. His left was cradling her neck. She looked around the scarlet room, which was now filling with the morning sun. Ginny was looking at them, standing near the fireplace. Hermione blushed, put her lips to Ron's ear, "Ron. Ron, wake up." She whispered. It didn't faze Ron, he only tightened his arms around her. She tried again. "Ron. Come on, wake up." He cocked his head to the side, and his eyes slowly began to open.
He smiled at her, and at the thought of having her in his arms.
"How did you sleep?" He asked her, his lips brushing her ear.
"Great," she smiled and stood up and walked up to her room.
"Oh Ron!" Ginny squealed, "I'm so happy for you!" Her eyes where sparkling, as she gave her big brother a hug.
