Beautiful
I was the first one awake in my dormitory. I got up and made my bed as I do every morning. I looked around to make sure I hadn't woken anyone up, Parvati made a small noise and buried her head in her pillow. Looking out the window, I saw that it wasn't even light out yet. All before seven, I had taken a shower, gotten dressed and made my bed.
I walked down to the empty common room, it was cold and I absentmindedly thought of running back up to get a sweater. I wondered what I could do, there were a few chapters in Standard Book of Spells Grade 6 I had yet to read, but it was in the dormitory with the rest of my textbooks. I walked over to the bulletin board and found out that our first Hogsmeade weekend was next weekend. It was odd, they weren't usually scheduled until----
"Morning, Hermione."
I jumped. "Ron, you startled me."
"I noticed." He smiled. "So, I guess you couldn't sleep either?"
"No. I couldn't"
Since neither of us had anything to do, we wandered around the school. I somehow found him easier to talk to during these last few days, maybe now he was willing to tell me more. We had been best friends for a long time now and he had suddenly become more open. Did it have anything to do with the kiss? I couldn't help but think about that kiss, it wasn't exactly something you forget about overnight. Is it really all behind us? Just another flaw...
"I've got an idea." Ron said, he looked at his watch. "Come on." He took my hand and started to lead me down the corridor. I suddenly felt really awkward. Ron was holding my hand. If we were to see someone right now, I wonder how we would appear. Would it look as if we were a couple? If anyone (I dread the thought of Pansy or Malfoy) was to see us, is that what they would think?
"Where are we going?" I asked, hurrying a little until I was right by his side.
"Hold on, Hermione. We're almost there." Ron said.
We started walking up a large staircase. We passed The Gray Lady and Nearly Headless Nick. "Good morning Ron, Hermione."
"Good morning, Sir Nicholas." I said as they passed.
"We're going to miss it."
"Miss what? Ron, just tell me where we're going. Isn't that Sinistra's office?" I suddenly realized that we were at the door that lead to the astronomy tower.
Ron lead me up the stairs and shut the door behind us. The view from up here was amazing. Everything was visible, the Quidditch pitch, the Whomping Willow, you could make out Hagrid's little house on the edge of the Forbidden Forest. The sun was starting to rise, the sky was an assortment of colors, pink, blue, purple, gold, too many to name. "I can see why you come up here." I said, barely a whisper, unsure if he had heard me or not.
Ron made himself comfortable on the floor and motioned for me to sit beside him. I sat beside him, he had put the robe he had been wearing on the ground. I rested my head on his shoulder as he did to me the night before. "Isn't it beautiful?" I asked.
I could feel him nodding. "Beautiful."

Sorry about the short, kind of pointless chapter. I lost 6 chapters of Beautiful at school, the disc and the computer made a funny noise and POOF! All gone, six chapters. Three of which I had wrote over the weekend, new chapters.
But that's okay. I needed more Ron/Hermione and decided that a little dose of our favorite couple could hold you over until I can finish re-writing the rest of the chapters.
