Chapter 7: Startling Revelations

"MALFOY! YOU'RE my secret admirer!" Hermione said, astounded.

"Malfoy! What the Bloody Hell are YOU doing here!" Ron said angrily, coming out of the shadows.

"RON?!?!" Hermione cried, even more astounded.

"The mudblood's secret admirer? Ha! I don't think so! I'm simply here because I got a tip, and I'm here to escort you to back to Filch." Malfoy said smugly.

"Oh, sod off Malfoy." Hermione said wearily, and with that she aimed her wand at Malfoy, and said "Stupefy."

A moment later he was crumpled on the ground.

"Hermione!" Ron said staring at her, shocked. "I didn't know you had it in you!"

"Yeah, well. . ."Hermione said blushing

"O-oh yeah, I almost forgot, umm, did you happen to get my notes?" Ron said nervously, peering at Hermione, then looking back to the ground.

"Yes, oh Ron it was wonderful! It was so clever! How did you figure it all out?" She said quickly.

"Well, I had some help from Harry, and I looked at poems in the library. . ." Ron said bashfully.

"Ron! That's so sweet!" Hermione said, engulfing him in a big hug, as Ron's face slowly but steadily turned red.

"Ah, well, Hermione. . . I didn't really mean for this all to be. . . sweet, it was kind of meant to. . . be. . . romantic. . . you know sweep you off your feet." He said, his face getting redder, if that was possible.

"Oh." Hermione said in a small voice, staring at Ron.

"But I mean, it's okay, I know now you don't feel that way about me, I just wanted you to know that I that way about you."

"Oh, Ron!"

"No really, Hermione, it's okay, you don't have to make me feel better!" He said hurriedly.

"Ron!"

"No, Hermione really! Its okay!" He said cutting her off again.

"RON!" Hermione yelled.

"Yes?" He said meekly.

"SHUTUP!"

"Er, okay."

"Ok, good, now are you just going to stand there?"

"Uh, yes?"

"Boys! Will they never learn!" She said throwing her hands up in the air.

"Well if you're not going to do it, I'll just have to." She said quickly.

"To do-"But Ron was cut off as Hermione stood on her tiptoes and pressed her lips to Ron's.

Ron had his eyes open in shock, but he quickly closed them as he lost consciousness to everything but the kiss, as he kissed her back.

I can't believe I'm doing this, I'm kissing Ron! I'm actually kissing Ron! OMG! I'm kissing Ron!

Yes! We know your kissing Ron! Now shut up and close your eyes before he sees you with your eyes open! Said the voices in her head.

Hermione quickly shut her eyes, and focused on her. Kissing Ron!

A few minutes later, they pulled away reluctantly from each other.

They stared at each other, until Hermione's face broke into a big grin.

Seeing this, Ron also got a big grin on his face.

"Oh! I almost forgot to show you this. Here, come with me." He said taking her hand and leading her over to the edge of the lake.

He muttered a quick spell and Hermione found herself blindfolded.

"Ron, what are you doing!" She said in a high voice.

"Shhh, quiet, I'm right here." Quickly taking her hand then releasing it.

Hermione put her arms around his waist.

So I know where he is, of course.

Of course dear, of course. Said the voices in her head, AGAIN.

Ron looked down at Hermione's arms around his waist and couldn't help smiling, before he muttered a spell, and a flash of bright light appeared, before it disappeared and left glowing words in the sky.

Ron unfolded Hermione and turned her so she could see the words in the sky. . . which read. . .

I love you Hermione! You're my treasure!

Hermione gasped, as she saw the words, then turned to Ron with tears in her eyes.

"What, what'd I do wrong?" Ron asked hurriedly.

Hermione kissed him.

Er, okay, does this mean she isn't mad? Does this mean she liked it? WAIT! If she liked it, does this mean that she loves me?

Ron was very confused, to say the least.

As Hermione pulled away she grinned at Ron.

"So, this means, you, feel the same way?" Ron said with a small smile.

Hermione nodded quickly.

Ron grinned and wrapped his arms around her, kissing her again, sweetly.

Finally, it's about time those two got together, they've only been in love with each other since second year! Harry thought as he watched from the window in the Gryffindor common room, smiling to himself.
