Chapter 4: Showers

Disclaimer: You can't buy them on the black market either…

A/N: Woop woop! Things are getting hot! RR please, and I'm thinking about doing a chapter from Ron's POV. Review with your thoughts!

Phantomsangel102: Well, you were half correct, wait and see what happens! Thanks for being my first reviewer! 

You and Ron made out in the rain for another good 10 minutes, until you both began to involuntarily shiver.

"R-R-Ron?" you said, shivering. "I r-r-really l-like this-s, b-bu-but I'm reall-l-y c-c-cold."

"M-me t-t-t-too." He said, smiling, but his teeth chattering.

"L-l-let's go ins-s-side."

You got up from the ground, utterly soaked. Your black attire now brown from mud, hair curly and wet, also caked with mud. You had mud streaks across your forehead, cheeks, and nose. Ron didn't look much better, with a cheek covered in mud and ginger hair that now had mud in it. You held out a shaky hand out to help him up. He grasped it and you began to walk back wards to gain momentum to help him up. That is, until you slipped and fell on your butt once he was up.

He laughed then helped you up.

"Thanks! I'm such a klutz!" you giggled.

You grabbed your t-shirt and broom and left with Ron, heading back to the Gryffindor common room when you realized something.

You gasped rather loudly, causing Ron to look at you.

"What's the matter?"

"Ron, we are both wet and muddy carrying broomsticks. They are going to think something is up." You blushed remembering his kisses.

"Oh, right mate. Umm, lets see, you go in first, get all warm and take a shower, and I'll wait right here for you. Once you're all set, I'll go in and do the same, and meet you in the Great Hall for some hot chocolate."

"Aww, but Ron, I don't want you freezing out here! I know! Be right back!"

You said the password (furble) and entered, luckily to an empty common room. You saw the vacancy and ran back to the entrance.

"Ron! It's empty! Come on!"

You both ran in, tracking mud and water every where, and ran up the staircase to opposite sides of the hall.

"Meet you in the common room in like 45 minutes ok?" you winked at him.

"Absolutely!"

You entered your room and grabbed a towel and your black silk kimono. You took off your muddy, wet clothes and made a bee line for the bathroom, wrapped only in your fluffy kimono. You get in and close the door. You turn the hot water on and get in the shower. You let the water rinse off all the mud, then you use your cinnamon body wash, shampoo, and conditioner. You get out, dry off, and scrunch your hair so it gets wavy and curly again. You pick up your kimono and take 2 chopsticks for your hair out of the pockets and put your hair up in a twist, so that some blonde curvy waves are spilling out over the top.

You were just tying your kimono around your waist when the door opens. You shriek from surprise, and you see a flash of red hair. Then the door slams shut.

You open the door and see the back of Ron briskly running to his room.

"Ron!"

He stops dead.

"Ron, what's up?"

Still no movement.

You walk up to him and turn to face him. He's once again looking at the floor.

"Err..sorry, Fred and George mucked up the boys showers with an experiment, so I was going to use the girls, and I thought it was empty because the door wasn't locked.." He replied, sheepishly.

"Don't worry about it! I was all covered up anyway!" You smiled and blushed.

He still didn't look up.

"Ron, look at me."

Still, as if he didn't hear you, he gazed at the ground.

So, to catch his gaze, you went down on your knees, unknowingly giving him a clear view down the front of your kimono.

His eyes widened and he turned magenta. He tore his gaze away and turned around. Realizing what just happened, you turned red, but still meant to catch his gaze.

"Well, it seems that THAT got your attention."

He seemed to laugh a little bit, but turned a deeper red.

"Ron, it's okay! Nothing happened! I'm not bothered!" You smiled at him, but he once again was gazing at the floor in embarrassment.

"Do I have to open my entire robe to catch your eye?" you say exasperated.

With that comment he looked up, and laughed.

"Right, that's better. Let me just grab my stuff from the bathroom and you can have it."

You went in and grabbed all of your stuff from the bathroom and let Ron in.

"Go get clean, mud boy!"

"Oy! I wouldn't be bloody filthy if it wasn't for you!"

You gave him a wily smile and replied "Oh, come off it! You liked it!"

With a wink, you turned, and headed back to your room to finish getting ready.

You finally unpacked your suitcase, seeing as the delay in Ron's shower time. You pulled out your favorite pair of American Eagle jeans and a white camisole with a green scalloped neck sweater. You kept your hair the way it was, and just put on a little blush, some brown mascara, and some strawberry Chapstick. You pulled on your tan boots and you were ready to go. You grabbed "Hogwarts, A History", and waited for Ron in the common room.

About 15 minutes later, you heard someone coming down the stairs. By this time, 5 or 6 fellow Gryffindors had come into the common room, chatting away happily. Ron came over to your chair, where you were sprawled out quite nicely; legs over one side of the arm rest and head resting on the other one. He observed you for a second, before clearing his throat.

You look up, and he is dressed in a nice looking long sleeve shirt, all clean and neat.

"Ready to go get some hot chocolate?"

"Yes sir!"

You exit the common room, and once you are out, you link your arm with Ron's, and delight in seeing his face turn pink.
