She always goes at midnight, because they always had. Midnight, just like when they were at Hogwarts, before they were married. Ron had asked her on their first date as a midnight walk, and they just kept it up every night after. She often thinks about their first walk, when she goes out now.

FLASBACK

"Ron your acting like an stupid prat once again."

"What is that supposed to mean oh great and wonderful Harry?"

"After that comment I still need to make myself clear?"

Harry and Ron were standing only a few feet a part from each other in the Gryffendor common rom. The rest of Gyffendor was standing around and staring. They were used to seeing Ron fight like this, just not with Harry. They were also shocked because the two boys had been fighting like this for an hour.

"Yes oh great and masterful Mr.Hero you do have to make yourself clear. Please enlighten me."

"Ron that made no sense at all."

It was then that Hermione came down from her room, she had left after an half hour of the fight tired of listening to them.

"Are you two still fighting like girls? Honestly, why don't you both get over it?"

"Why don't you just shut your trap? I don't butt in on your fights with him."

"Harry, that was uncalled for. She didn't do anything to you. Mione, do you want to go for a walk with me?"

"Sure, Ron. I have the sudden urge to get out of here before I hit something or someone."

And with that they turned, walked out of the portrait hole and into the darkened castle halls. It was midnight, she could hear the clock in the tower tolling as they stealthly made their way through the halls and onto the grounds. They were silent until they were outside the castle.

As they stepped onto the grass, an owl hooted loudly and swooped down right in front of Hermione scooping up a mouse and then flying away. Hermione had jumped and wrapped her arms around Ron out of fright, and Ron not knowing what else to do had wrapped his arms around her pulling her close. They finally noticed the position they were in as the owl lifted away from them.

"Um....I'm sorry I didn't mean to."

"Don't be sorry Mione. I don't mind."

"You, you don't? Cause I...it is really nice your arms around me."

"I don't mind. If Harry and I hadn't got into a fight i was going to ask you on a walk tonight anyway. As a...a date."

"Oh." she said blushing slightly.

"Yeah. I love you Hermione" Ron finally gulped out blushing so much he was starting to resemble a ripened tomato.

" I love you too. Ron?"

"Yeah?"

"As much as I love standing here in your arms. You did ask me to go on a walk with you, so i would like to walk"

"Oh, yeah. Let's go then."

It was the perfect night for a walk. The air was crisp and clean, the moon reflected off the lake and shined brightly over the grounds of the school. The stars seemed to twinkle more that night. He released her from the embrace and took her hand as they started down towards the lake. The moment their hands joined a tingle surged through her body, she squeezed his hand trying to reveal all that touch made her feel. As they walked she memorized each step they took, how everything looked and sounded, and every emotion she was feeling. She wanted to be sure to remember it all, always.

"Ron,you shouldn't have fought with Harry like that. It isn't like he did anything on purpose"

"I know i just get sick of it all. I played one hell of a game. I mean the Hufflepuffs didn't even score on me. I blocked every shot they made. All Harry did was catch the snitch and he gets all the praise. He's the one that got carried off the field, and all Igot was a pat on the back and a good game Ron. It is always like this."

"Ron, quit acting all underappriciated. Cause if you would have came over to me instead of rushing off to pout. You would have heard an amazing rendition of Weasley is Our King."

"Oh" he said as he gave her hand a squeeze saying with his hand what he couldn't with words.

"Why were you going to ask me to go on a walk a midnight? I would have gladly walked with you when it was light out."

They had made their way around the lake and were now coming up around Hagrid's cabin.

"Well, I figured it would be romantic. You know the moonlight and stars and all that. And if you had turned me down I could go right to bed."

"Ron, I don't think that is all of it is it?"

"Well, no not all of it. Why did you say yes? I mean you said you loved me back, why?"

"Nice attempt to change the subject. I'll answer you, then you'll answer me. I said yes because I love being with you. When I am with you I can forget the rest of the world. I can forget all the hurt and pain and suffering that is going on.With you there is fun and laughter and all the things that make me feel good. And I said I loved you back because I do. I always have, and I always will. Now, what is the other reason you asked me at midnight?"

"You don't forget anything, do you?"

"No. I would think you would know that by now."

"I asked you at midnight because you wouldn't be able to see me blush after I did this."

They were now standing by the whomping willow, well out it's of reach of course. He squeezed her hand he held tighter and with his other he reached up and carressed her face and leaned down and softly brushed his lips against hers. He moved back and looked down on her. She gazed up into his eyes and took it all in. It was a perfect moment, the light breeze that had been blowing had stopped and the moon cascaded it's light over them,and at the exact moment she felt his lips on hers she heard the clock in the tower begin to toll once more. It rang one time. Her first kiss, with her one love, at one o'clock.

END FLASHBACK

Hermione turned the key and unlocked her house. Back for the night after her search. She wiped the tears from her eyes, and sank down onto her couch. She took his picture off of the side table. She loved this picture, he had given it too her when they left Hogwarts between sixth and seventh year. It really was a silly picture, he was kissing his hand and blowing them too her. He had said this way he could kiss her everyday since he couldn't be with her. She placed the picture over her heart, whispered "Oh Ron, I will always love you" and slipped into sleep.
