Hey, just for clarification and stuff, that wasn't the end, I plan to go up to chapter 10,

don't worry, I got the whole thing planned in my head, um . . . so I'll probably be

done writing the whole Fic by the end of this week, and I'll probably write some

different ones after, but by the time school starts, I'll probably stop writing, or

updating as fast, ugh, a thought just came to my mind . . . I should've saved that daisy

thing until the very end, but o well. Hope you like the next chapter! :)

"Hermione--" Ron began to say, but she pressed one ungloved finger to his lips,

"shh," Hermione whispered into his ear, as she moved in closer, he was awestruck,

and couldn't believe what was happenening. It was as if time stopped, stopped, just

for them, just for that moment, it was magical. His dream had come true, every bit of

it, he and Hermione were on a hill top, and she got up on her tiptoes to kiss him. The

second their lips met, it began to snow, but no matter what, they would not move,

they could not move, because for once in both of their lives, things were perfect.

Flecks of snow began settling in Hermione's hair, just like in his dream. Hermione

shivered from the cold, and broke away from the kiss. Neither could find something

to say, so they settled for walking back up to the castle together, arms around each

others waist. Hermione leaned her head against Ron's shoulder, "it's true," she said

out of nowhere, "hmm?" Ron asked, "The letter." Hermione had picked up her head

for a moment to get the words out, but now had settled herself back into his

shoulder.

Ron and Hermione skipped dinner that day, and stayed in the common room, talking.

"Ron, I love you," tears began streaming down her face again, but she tried to cover

them up, "and it breaks my heart to know that I caused you pain," this time she

seamed to have sprung a leak and the tears would not stop falling "I just--I just--I . . ."

She buried herself on Ron's chest, crying. "Why are you crying? And why are you

trying to hide your tears? Nothing will ever make me stop loving you, you hear me,

nothing." At this Hermione broke away from his chest, face red and blotchy, eyes

puffy and red, she still looked beautiful. "You look beautiful."

(Christmas Day) "Harry, Harry!!! It's Christmas, HARRY!!!!!" Ron yelled through a

mouthful of Fizzing Whizbees. Harry leapt from his bed and picked up all his

presents, trying to get them in to the common room so he could be with Ginny, and

they could unwrap their presents together. Ron did the same, so he could be with

Hermione, it was after all their first Christmas together, and he hoped that she would

like his gift.

The four, who all decided to stay for Christmas this year, settled down around the

common room fire, Ginny let out a scream as she laid eyes on the gift Harry got her,

"Oh Harry, you shouldn't have!" she kissed Harry lightly on the lips in thanks, Fred

and George Got all of them Christmas hats that made your head invisible, a

development from what they had been working on 2 years ago. And they all got the

usual from Mrs.Weasley, home made mince pies, and a knitted sweater. Ron

frowned at the sight of his sweater, it was puke green, with a brown "R" on it. "Ugh

mum must really hate me, I guess she's still mad at the amount of O.W.L.'s I got."

Ron sighed, and put the sweater aside. "Don't worry, Ron, you got the perfect

amount of O.W.L.'s" Hermione whispered into his ear. Hermione had now set eyes

on a small red box, with an even deeper red string binding it together in her present

pile, her eyes met Ron's and he gave her a discreet wink. Hermione gently opened

the box, there was a card,

Hermione,

It's like when I'm around

You nothing can go

Wrong - every regret

Becomes forgotten

And all my problems

Are suddenly gone

Happy Christmas

-Ron

A single tear rolled down her cheek, it was the nicest thing anybody had ever said to

her. Ron leaned in and held her chin in his hand, he brought her close to him and

kissed her. It seemed as if they were the only ones in the room, and things seemed,

yet again, perfect. Hermione felt her heart melt, and Ron was strangely surprised at

how outgoing he had become, for if this was any other girl he would definitely have

turned beet red, kissing a girl in a room filled with people, but he found that none of

it mattered as long as they were together. "Open it," Ron whispered in her ear. "Ron

I-- Ron I-- I - -thank you so much!" Her face lit up with glee and she beamed

excitedly at him. "It's beautiful -- b-but, how did you afford it?" Ron had given her a

pendant with an oval glass stone hanging on the silver chain, inside the stone was a

pressed miniature daisy. "Don't worry about it," he said pressing a finger to her lips.

Next to Ron and Hermione, Harry and Ginny seemed to be Super Glued at the lips.

Harry had given Ginny a diamond pendant, consisting of a single white diamond that

rested right where her heart was.

Hermione had managed to drive all the thoughts of Ron and Christmas out of her

mind, and suddenly became obsessed with her N.E.W.T.'s. With that, Harry, and Ron

were forced to spend the rest of their Christmas holidays in the library, or with their

nose pressed hard into a book.

"Oh my God! What about Powered root of Asphodel? OH MY GOD! WHAT

ABOUT THE ANCIENT RUNES IN Czechoslovakia? OH MY GOD! ADVANCED

ARITHMA--" Ron had cut her off by kissing her and pulling her into a near by row of

books, partly because he was annoyed by all of her worrying, and partly because,

well, he couldn't resist her when she became all caught up in her studies. He cupped

her face in his hands as he kissed her, and at first she tried to loosen his grip, but

after about 2 seconds, her arms fell limp at her sides, and she felt as if her legs

turned into jelly. She supported herself by leaning heavily against one bookshelf, it

seamed to keep her up at first, but she found it much easier to just wrap her legs

around his waist-

Harry walked to about a foot from where they were standing, face buried in his book

as he walked, "Hermione I can't find a page with the correct uses of the Protean

Charm, could you-" Harry had just looked up and realized what they were doing, they

all stopped what they were doing and stared at each other. "OH MY GOD I

TOTALLY FORGOT ABOUT PROTEAN CHARMS!" just as fast as Hermione

snapped out of her crazy studying, she snapped right back in. Harry gave Ron a small

wink, to signal that he understood what had been happening. Hermione didn't seem

to notice.

Ok well, end of that chapter . . . I know . . . a tad on the dull side, but whatever, umm,

so what did you guys think about Ron's Christmas present to Hermione? I had

writers block until I thought of that daisy necklace thing. Ok well I hope you enjoyed

it, please R&R
