Love Hermione and Ron

Even though Ron heard her, he responded as if he didn't, he just continued kissing her neck softly and playfully. She let a soft, barely audible moan escape her mouth before realizing what was happening, she practically screamed "Ronald Weasley what in Merlin's name do you think you are doing?"

He stopped, she almost died from disappointment; he looked her square in the eyes and they both blushed.

Finally Ron was able to stammer "Hermione, I…I love you" Even though she saw the truth in his eyes she didn't want to believe it not yet anyways.

"Ron this isn't really funny you know. No time to be playing a joke. And you should leave that to the twins" He was truly hurt by her remark, so he answered bitterly

"I didn't know I was"

His expression softened "I really do" Ron hoped this would make her realize that he wasn't joking. Suppressing tears Hermione pushed him away and ran down the hall. She wasn't sure if she was ready for this step, she really loved him but what would it do to their friendship? Meanwhile Ron groans, "man I knew this was a bad idea" He thought to himself, almost speaking it out loud.

He stood there waiting, thinking for a short while and then he yelled "Hermione wait!" and managed to get his legs to work and ran after her. He ran a good length of the hall before she turned to saw him right there.

"Ron…" she mumbled.

But he cut her off "I'm so sorry I". And before he could finish she accepted the apology "No, its, its fine, lets just forget about it and go down to dinner". He nodded to her and started to walk down the darkening hallways. She ran to his side and starred down at her feet. They walked in silence will they reached the Great Hall. They walk slowly over to the Gryffindor table and sat down. They sat in silence for a while until Hermione broke the painful quite.

"So did you get all of your Potions essay done?"

"No" he plainly stated and couldn't get up the nerve to look her in the eye.

"Have you heard from your brothers lately?" she rambled off.

" Not cense the week before I left, so 3 weeks." He said halfheartedly. Hermione nodded and smiled.

"I almost forgot when you had detention with Filch and couldn't make it to the prefect meeting last night McGonagall said that Hogsmead trips start up in a month and that nightly patrols start up soon as well"

" Oh right" he sighed and swirled the food on his plate.

"Ron don't play with your food!"

" I'm not… well I'm full" He got up at turned to walk out. Hermione looked down on his plate and frowned, he hadn't eaten a thing. " I think I'll go finish my essay." He started to walk out.

" Ron you didn't eat a thing!" she yelled as he reached the doors. He blocked out what she was saying, he had gotten use to her rambling about things and learned to tune her out some times. He passed Harry and smiled slightly at him

" Hey Harry, ready for detention?"

"Not really don't look forward to detention with Filch" Harry joked.

" Right I know, well I'll see you later" Ron mumbled and walked right pass him.

Hermione sat at the Gryffindor table starring at her half full plate. " God Ron can be such a prat sometimes."

" What's up Mione?" Harry said sitting down across from her. He knew what was going on he always just felt it best to let people get a chance to speak.

" We're fighting again"

" You and Ron?" She nodded and frowned a bit. " How did it start this time?" Harry said rolling his eyes.

" This time! You make it sound like it is a nightly thing!" she said throwing her hands up.

" Well hate to break it to you Hermione it kinda is" Neville Longbottom added from his set next to her.

"Not nightly but, you do fight like I don't know like your going out" Harry said with an odd look on his face.

" Like your married" Neville added in. Hermione took a deep breath and thought about what to tell her friends.

"Well it started with S.P.E.W and then got to homework and detention then Quidditch and then he told me he loved me and I ran away and then I told him not to play with his food and he walks out" she sped up the end so they wouldn't understand.

"Wait what was that?" Harry said almost choking on his food.

" What was what?" She asked in return.
" say the events slower. I want to hear them all this time."

"Well we fought about SPEW and then homework and Quidditch and then we left and he told me he loved me and then I told him to stop playing with his food and got up and walked out."

" He what!"

" He said he loved me!" She screamed and every eye in the Hall was on her. She blushed deeply and sank in to her seat.

"FIANLLY!! Do you know how long he has been planning to do it? So how did he do it, and so are you guys... Well you know." Harry laughed and shoved a spoon full of potatoes in to his mouth.

"WHAT you're just telling me know! Who else knew?" Hermione turned slightly angry

" Well every one. Its hard to miss and you're all Ron talks about" Neville added again. Hermione sunk deep in to her chair and groaned.
