and the happy ending is for Sexy Arms, and my pal Jessica. hope it works out for you kiddo!

Ron woke the next morning, happier than he'd been in a long time. He finally had Hermione.

And then he remembered it had just been a dream. Another bloody dream, so tempting, and seemed so real.

He washed for breakfast, got dressed, and made his way downstairs, and couldn't help but be depressed.

When he got to the kitchen, everyone was asleep, except for Hermione, who came up and kissed him. Heaven, he thought.

WAIT! Why was she kissing him? He pulled away and looked around the room making sure no one had seen them.

That's when his eyes landed on the couch, where a familiar looking blanket lay. It hadn't been a dream? It was real?

"Ron, what's wrong?" Hermione asked, getting nervous thinking he'd changed his mind about them.

He looked back at her and smiled wider than shed ever seen him smile before. Then he bent his head down and kissed her.

And realized he was wrong. He'd rather live here, in reality with Hermione, than in his dreams.

He liked it here. And he loved her.

THE END
