Hey! I just want to say thank you so much for all the support and
prayers for my neighbor. It means so much to me, and I thank you from the
bottom of my heart. I'm lucky to have readers like all of you!
I've written the next few chapters, and I've noticed they are a bit short, but the time it takes place jumps around a bit. (Sorry if it seems jumpy.) And also, sorry if things seem to move... well a little bit fast. Here it goes!
"Well that was certainly a different reaction." Said Hermione as she set her side of the chessboard. She and Ron had deicded to play a game of chess outside beneath a tree. "But I suppose it's better than their reaction when we first got together during school."
"Yeah." Said Ron as she straightened his rows. The two laughed remember the event. Fred and George had once again decided to let the whole family know that the two were dating. Instead of the relief and happiness of today's announcement, they had instead been greeted by finally and took you two long enough. "Ready?" They began.
The game progressed at a steady pace. "Knight to E5." Said Ron. "Got you!"
"Did I honestly think I could beat him?" she asked herself. Hermione scanned the board trying to see if she had, by chance, missed or rather if Ron had missed an obvious move. Then she noticed something was different. One of the chess pieces was missing, one of her pieces in fact. She looked up at Ron with surprise. "So that's why you always win." Said Hermione.
"What?" asked Ron.
"You cheated!"
Ron pretended to act astonished. "What? I didn't cheat!"
"Yes you did!"
"Oh come on, 'Mione. I did not!"
"Then how did my chess piece appear on the side of the board, still intact, mind you?"
"Didn't you see? My piece took pity on it and let it walk off."
"Took pity?" said Hermione, this time smiling.
"Yeah, that's right!" he said with a lop-sided grin.
"You cheated, don't deny it!"
"I'm not denying anything! I didn't cheat!" They hadn't argued in years, and this one was great because it was a mock argument. Basically it was a chance to well, flirt.
"Did too!" accused Hermione playfully. Ron leaned in and kissed her.
"Did not." Said Ron kissing her again, this time more passionately.
Hermione giggled. "Don't even think that will get you out of it."
"Oh it won't?" Ron released her. "Well, in that case I won't do it anymore." Said Ron teasingly. Hermione laughed and leaned in to kiss him, but he dodged her. "No! No! If my kisses won't even help me get out of cheating on a game—"
"They do help." Said Hermione. They kissed again, the kiss more passionate than before. "A little." She said slyly.
"Only a little?" asked Ron who immediately started tickling her.
"Ron! Ron! Stop—tickling—me!" Hermione burst into a fit of giggles.
Back inside...
"Look at the two of them!" said George who was currently spying on the couple along with his twin brother Fred. "You'd think they'd never parted!"
"Yeah." Agreed Fred. "And they've only been dating for a day. I mean, look at Harry and Ginny. They've been dating for years and you never catch them doing anything."
"And if we can't catch them, well..."
"I heard that!" said Ginny, walking into the room. Who are you spying on?" asked Ginny, though she felt she already knew the answer.
"Who else?" said Fred.
Apparently she had known the answer for the next second she was pushing her way through Fred and George. "Let me see!" she had been waiting for years to see her brother and Hermione together. She wanted to see it just to be sure it was true. And it was.
"Spying on Ron and Hermione, are you?" asked Harry as he walked in.
"Well, it's about time they finally got back together." By now the two were talking again, rather than having tickle wars. They were sitting down and Ron was just holding her hand. Anyone could plainly see how happy they were to be together, to just be near each other. You could clearly see it in their eyes.
"And to think," said Harry with a laugh. "Ron was just asking me a bit ago
if I thought Hermione was using him."
"What?" said Ginny sounding a bit alarmed. "Are you serious?'
"That's just like him." Comment Fred.
Fred spoke next. "I think he honestly has a problem with things going his way." Everyone laughed. ""By the way, did anyone see how many photos of them together at the Quidditch Cup there were in the Daily Prophet and who knows where else?"
So there it was! Actually, that didn't turn out as short as I thought it would be. I'm not sure if I'm going to continue Ron and Hermione's conversation or not. I can't wait to post the chapter that comes after this! Thank you again for everything!
