-The Secret is Out-
It had been odd when Hermione and Ron had had to see his parents after that wonderful evening. For a long time afterwards they felt like they were keeping some horrible lie from them, but after a week at the Burrow, both of them were more at ease.
They found it hard not to be close to each other, they were always holding hands when they thought no one was watching, or sneaking small, quick kisses before Ron left for work in the mornings.
When Ron was home after work, they spent hours setting together and planning their future, since they had already watched all of the movies Hermione had brought; Mr. Weasley had particularly enjoyed them.
They didn't know whether or not it would be safe for them to tell his family, but on the night of the 27th they didn't have to worry about it anymore.
It was about seven o'clock and Molly, Arthur, Ron, Hermione, Ginny, Fred and George were all sitting around the kitchen table, laughing and talking after just finishing a great meal.
Fred and George were explaining to their father about the next candy they were in the process of making, when Molly suddenly chimed in with her cheery voice, "Well as interesting as this conversation is, what I want to know is what's going on with you two." Mrs. Weasley looked across the table at Ron and Hermione.
Ron choked on his drink. He coughed and cleared his throat and said in a shaky voice, "What do you mean?"
Everyone was quiet and all eyes were on Ron and Hermione, who were trying to look as innocent as possible. Mrs. Weasley explained, "I want to know exactly what has been going on with you two every night."
Hermione's heart stopped. Oh my Gawd! She knows I've been sneaking into Ron's room every night and that we've been making love! We're so dead! What are we going to do? Oh my gawd, Oh my gawd, Oh my gawd ...
Mrs. Weasley smiled, "Every night you two sit down beside the fire and talk endlessly about your relationship. Yes that's right; you're not as quiet as you think you are." Mrs. Weasley smiled. "Why didn't you tell us Ron? I'm so happy for you two!"
Hermione was so relieved that it wasn't about what she had thought, and the look on Ron's face told her that he had been worrying too. Everyone around the table was smiling.
"So have you two kissed?" Fred asked Ron.
"Fred! Don't be rude that's –" Molly exclaimed.
"Only when Ron leaves for work." Replied Ginny.
"Ginny! You leave Ron and Hermione alone. It's a shame that they already hide it when they hold hands, you don't need to embarrass them further." Said Molly.
And as the conversation slowly turned back to Fred and George, Ron looked over at Hermione and gave her a look that read "sorry". But she just smiled and grabbed his hand under the table.
