Ron and Hermione

Ron's heart jump into his throat and he sat shocked on his dorm room bed. Hermione sat very close to him with her still shaking hands folded tightly in her lap.

"Really? You… you love me?" He stammered. She nodded her head and pulled him in to what Ron had come to call a "Hermione Hug". Each time she hugged him he felt every emotion she had, every thought. He was so caught up in her warmth hug that he almost forgot to hug back. Ron felt a tear form in his eye and he brushed it away quick.

"Ron what's wrong?"

" I just never thought I'd hear you say that."

" Oh" she said and looked away. He leaned in and kissed her cheek softly and her face grew red with blush.

" I'm really glad you did though." He said pushing her back a little and kissed her lips softly. The moment seemed perfect an empty room, all alone. Their lips fit together perfectly, their hands glided to each other. Ron pushed her back deepening the kiss. His hands wound themselves in her hair as she fell backwards on to the bed.

" Ron any one could walk in!" She worried pulling out of the kiss.

"It's the feast no one will, besides you can lock the door so only staff could get in I know you know how," he stated.

"Don't you have a detention to get to?" she said avoiding the situation at hand.
"In an hour." He said sitting up and moving a little bit away from her. "But you don't want this and you know what? That's fine with me."

Hermione's heart fell, here she was acting like the scared little virgin and who was she kidding she was. Ron's eyes locked with hers and the moment became like an unspoken conversation. " I've just never done any thing like this before."

Ron blushed and smiled at her. " I haven't either," he confessed. Hermione cocked and eyebrow and stared at him strangely

"But what about the rumors of you and Luna?" She asked with a mixed expression. She didn't care if they were true but part of her screamed, hoping they weren't.

" There were rumors about me and Lovegood?" His face became contorted and a look of discussed flamed in his eyes.

" I guess you never heard them…" She said trying to hold in a laugh at Ron's oblivious nature.

" No! Nor are they even true!" He yelled and Hermione couldn't help but smile.

" Oh… well good then."

"You aren't one to listen to rumors I thought…" He said playfully glaring at her.

" I can't help over hearing I mean look at the girls in my dorm," she said rolling her eyes about the gossip she hears ever night.

" True" he mumbled and laid back on his bed. Hermione did the same and placed a kiss on his lips. Her heart fluttered as he returned it and she was thankful she was lying down for if not her knees would have surely given out on her. She pulled away in deep blush and look at him.

" So what now?" she asked him not knowing what to expect for him.

" What do you mean?"

" I mean are we…you know…you and me…" She couldn't find the right words to put together, everything she was saying in her head just sounded wrong. She waiting to see if he got what she was getting at, worry formed in her mind.

" You mean are we together?" He asked but didn't wait for her to answer. " Yeah I guess." Ron came to the realization at what he had just said and his heart jump and started to do cartwheels in his chest. Hermione smile at him and he leaned in to claim her lips once again. She melted in to the warmth of her mouth and opened her to deepen the kiss. Ron pulled away and smiled at her

" That was really nice." Hermione said, she felt her cheeks blaze with blush as he looked at her.

" Yeah it really was." He said. No matter how hard she tried she couldn't stop, the deep redness of her cheeks kept coming back. Shee covered her face with her hands and turned away. " What's the matter?" He asked afraid he had done some thing wrong.

"I'm acting like the pug faced Parkinson whenever she's around Malfoy" She said rolling her eyes at herself for her childishness.

"No your not don't even compare yourself to her!" He said leaning in kissing her neck lightly. She giggled and blushed, cursing herself under her breath. " What?" He asked kissing further down her neck

"I feel like an air head Slytherin all giggly and blushed" She said with a tone of self-disappointment in her voice.

" You're not!" He kissed her collarbone. He followed his wet path back up her neck sucking and nibbling slight on his way. His hand glides down her body and plays with the hem of her robes.

"Ron…" she said her voice was scared and shaky.

" Hmmm?" the sound vibrated against the skin of her neck as he kept kissing.

" I'm scared."

" I'm sorry." He was so worried that she was angry he stopped and held her hands in his."To fast right?"

" I've just never done this before." She said again.

"Neither have I it just seems I'm on auto or something?" He said stating the truth.

" I guess it's just different for guys." He said trying hard not to let the shame and regret he was feeling get out into his voice.

" Yeah I guess so." She said. He kissed her cheek and then pulled away,

" I love you."

" I love you too Ron."

"Meet me in the prefect rooms after my detention and we can start our patrols from there." He said trying to change the subject of love.

"But patrols don't start till 10." She stated.

" Oh really?"

"You'd know that if you hadn't gotten detention the night we had the meeting." She said in a matter of fact tone.

" I get the point." He said rolling his eyes.

" Just making sure you did." She said with a smile. He hoped of the bed and held out a hand to help her up with. She grabbed on to it and pulled herself up. " I'll see you after detention." She said walking out the door. Ron followed and walked out of Gryffindor Common Room, heading for an extremely long, dreaded detention with Snape.
