Story 4 Hermione and Ron (Hermione POV First person)
"That'll be 1 galleon. Thank you and have a great day!" I closed the register to my bookstore "Books For Life." I sat back in my chair, exhausted. 7 hours straight can do that to you (trust me I know).
While one old man was wandering the store, I had a few flashbacks.
Flashback
"Its LeviOOOHsa not LevioSAAAH" I pronounced clearly. Ron rolled his eyes.

I felt bad after that. But I liked him so much and I wanted him to get it right. But the pride in his eyes after he had gotten it right just made me feel wonderful inside. I was jerked from my thoughts when the man that was wandering the store slammed the books on the counter.
"Excuse me." He said in a gruffly voice. I didn't like that voice at all so I waited on him as quickly as possible. After he walked out the door I heaved a sigh of relief at an empty store. It was almost time to leave so I went ahead and grabbed my belongings, took off my uniform and I slid into my long frayed blue jeans and a tight green polo. I slid on my camouflage sandals to go with my shirt and waited for Jenny to come in to relieve me. She finally did and I chatted with her for a while then left.
I walked down Diagon Alley slowly, passing each store with a head of memories from my school days. I decided to go home after I passed a certain store and had a couple of bad memories.
I slid the key into the lock at my apartment and walked in, slamming the door behind me. I slung my bookbag and my keys onto the counter and flung myself on the couch. I rested there for about 10-15 minutes and then I decided to go club hopping so I went into my room and stripped myself of my clothing.
I went through my closet, looking for some clothing to wear to my favorite club 'You're Not Alone.' I finally decided on a tight black tank and my favorite leather skirt. I put on my undergarments and put on my clothing, grabbed a clutch to go with my outfit and Apparated out after grabbing my keys.
I went up to the club's door, showed the guy my I.D. and went inside. It was really crowded and it stunk of real BO but it was recognizable and I made my way to the bar to order a Shirley Temple. I sat there, sipping it, looking out at the crowd. I saw a flash of unmistakable red and almost spit out my drink. Then, I noticed the red was heading my way. I didn't know what to do. What if it wasn't whom I thought it would be?
"Hermione?" the guy asked. I looked up, startled at the name that I hadn't used for 3 years. "Hermione Granger?" I just nodded, praying it was him.
"Its Ron Weasley. Remember me?" he said and he was unprepared for what happened next.
He was almost pushed on his butt on the floor because I hugged him so tightly. "Oh Ron. I haven't seen you in 5 years!" I squealed. He hugged tightly back and then we sat down to have a drink. "So how have you been?" Ron asked. "I haven't seen you in forever.."
"Well, as you probably guessed, I opened up a book store in Diagon Alley and I bought a flat near it…. Umm…. I never married because I loved someone but they never knew it…." I said to him, hinting a little.
"I knew it! I knew you'd be really successful. I work as a keeper for the Chudley Cannons now…. Part time though. I live in a flat not too far away from their field so I can just walk there whenever I feel like it just to practice. I never had the time to get too involved with a girl but I had time in the past and I loved someone but I don't know if they loved me back……" he trailed off, looking sad but then he shook his head and smiled.
"So we both were pretty successful with what we did best, huh?" I said, taking another sip of my Shirley Temple. He nodded.
"Have you seen Harry at all? I haven't seen him since we graduated!" Ron said. "I wonder what happened to him..." Hermione shrugged.
"I'd just about die if I saw him. Like I almost did when I saw you." I said. Ron smiled. "I missed you Hermione and our study sessions we had before we finished school. I got really good grades on the NEWTs, you know. Thanks!" he said and ordered a small shot.
My heart filled with warmth at the gratitude. "Well, all you had to do was ask! And how can I leave a poor friend in need?" I laughed and slugged Ron on the arm. He just rolled his beautiful eyes at me.
"You couldn't, so that's why you helped me!" he laughed. I shook my head and gave him a very beautiful smile. I turned to my drink but realized I had drunk the whole thing so I ordered another. I'm glad it was non-alcoholic drink otherwise I'd be passed out drunk. We chatted for a long time until it got to be around midnight. I said I had to leave and Ron said he'd take me home. So we walked home slowly, enjoying the clear night sky.
When we approached my door, we turned toward each other. "Tonight was great. Thanks for taking me home!" I said, smiling. Ron smiled too. "What a coincidence to meet up at a club out of hundreds in London." He said.
"Well that club is my favorite club in the whole world. The bartender is really nice and they have great dancing music. The drinks are delicious and the guys are hot. I met some great ones tonight." I smiled mischievously. "Will you come over tomorrow for supper? I don't have anything planned!"
"Sure, why not, my practice scheduled for tomorrow ends at around four o'clock so I'll be here by five? Is that fine?" he asked hesitantly. "Does that give you enough time to get ready? I know how girls are!"
I slugged him on the arm and gave him a quick kiss on the cheek. "Goodnight! I'll see you tomorrow at 5." I said and turned the lock with my key and slipped inside. I then hopped to the window and saw nothing but heard a small POP! He must've Dissaparated. I sat back on the couch. What a night! I meet the guy I loved, well, still loved at my favorite dance club. How strange. Then, we plan to meet up the next day so I can make him supper! I went to bed floating on a cloud.
"Come in the door's unlocked!" I said to Ron who was knocking at the door. He came in and hung up his jacket on the coat hanger in the front hallway. He then came into the kitchen and sat down at the little bar I have. "Whatcha cooking?" he asked, pointing to the pot on the stove.
"Something, now go away!" I joked. He didn't move, just as I suspected.
"Go away? With food cooking?" Ron joked. "I'm hungry. When's it gonna be done?"
"Ron, your appetite seems to have grown since 7th year. I'm surprised you're not fat!" They both laughed.
"I work out." He grinned widely.
I shook my head. "Supper is done. Ron, will you set the table? The places are in the cupboard next to the refrigerator." He nodded and did what he was told. He washed his hands and sat down while I brought out the drinks and silverware. "Okay, here comes the main course. Roast beef." I walked through the dining room with the big pot and set it in the middle of the table.
"We have to bless the food first Ron." I said to him before he grabbed some roast beef. They blessed the food and supper began.
AN HOUR LATER
"Wow, Hermione, you're a great cook." Ron said, leaning back in his chair. I beamed. "Thanks. I have no more leftovers because of you." He rolled his eyes.
"What's for dessert?" he asked, rubbing his stomach. I laughed. "Ready for dessert? Already?" I asked. He nodded vigorously. I shook my head. "Not now. Want to play a board game?"
"Which one?" he asked. "Not a word game, please. I KNOW you'd win." "How about Yahtzee?" I suggested.
ANOTHER HOUR LATER
"YAHTZEE!" Ron said. "Ha, I won." I was laughing because I had taught him for half an hour on just how to play the game.
"Dessert?" I suggested and we cleaned up our mess and I brought out the dessert.
"Strawberry Cheesecake. I don't hope you'll like it so I can have it all." He stuck out his tongue. But he ended up liking it and having 3 slices.
"Have you ever seen or been to a movie?" I asked as we collapsed on the couch. He shook his head as I popped in Phantom of the Opera.
After the movie ended (you guys tell me what the movie is like because I have never seen it) we sat on the couch talking about the movie.
"Well, Hermione, I have to go and get some sleep for tomorrow's practice. I'm sorry." Ron said, getting up.
"It's all right, I am getting kinda tired too. Here, I'll walk you to the door." I got up and walked him to the door.
"Goodnight Hermione." He said and came down slowly. I closed the gap and we had the most romantic kiss I have ever had in my life. Then we said goodbye and we left.
2 YEARS LATER
"I now pronounce you husband and wife." The priest said. Ron and I turned to each other and kissed another romantic kiss and walked down the aisle, hand in hand in the rice being thrown at us. It was the most romantic day of my life.
Now please review and tell me how this was! - KATE
