One and Only

Chapter Twenty-seven

Later that night Ron and Hermione had to go on patrolling detail. Harry and Ginny decided that they were going to go up to their own room; after all they had a new part of their relationship to work on.

Ron and Hermione walked around the castle and things were pretty quiet considering that it was quarter to ten. Ron was getting bored and he decided to have a little fun with Hermione since he knew they were in a deserted corridor. His arm moved from around her back, to her waist and lower. Hermione giggled and moved his hand back up.

"Ron we, can't, we're supposed to be patrolling." Hermione said. Ron had known she was going to protest but this made it much more fun. He slid his hand lower but just to her waist and pulled her closer. Hermione giggled and pulled away from him. She smiled at him and continued to walk down the hallway, keeping her distance from him. Ron sped up and walked backwards, in front of her. He smiled at her and gave her the looks that said what he wanted to do. She couldn't keep the smile off of her face as she tried to ignore him. "No Ron." She kept insisting, shaking her head. Ron nodded his head in response. Hermione laughed and pushed past him. Ron was enjoying the challenge. He took her hand and spun her back to him. Hermione's wand fell out of the pocket in her hoodie in the process. Ron held her in his arms. She shook her head at him. "When we finish patrolling the corridors." She said, escaping his grasp and turning around to get her wand. Ron reached for it first and held it high above her head. She smirked at him and folded her arms across her chest. "Can I have my wand?" She asked. Ron smiled back at her.

"Can you reach it?" He asked. Hermione looked at it held high above his head and tried to swipe it from his hand he snatched it out of her reach just in time.

"So that's the kind of game you want to play?" Hermione asked. She grabbed his shoulders and pushed him up against the wall. She met their lips passionately for several second, while trying to reach the wand. Ron continued to hold it high above his head. When she pulled away she had a slight smirk on her face. "You have to make things difficult. Don't you?" Hermione said. Ron started to walk down the hallway, twirling Hermione's wand in his fingers.

"Yeah I do." Ron said. He continued to walk unprepared for what Hermione was going to do next. She charged at him and jumped on his back with her arms around his neck. He wasn't able to lift the wand up high enough now so she managed to grab it. She was about to jump down but Ron had her and spun her. She giggled again, enjoying the game. He allowed her down but when she got down he backed her up against a wall. She looked up at him and lightly brushed their lips. She actually was avoiding him the whole time because his persistence was a turn on and she wanted to see what he would do. She leaned up for another kiss but after their lips met briefly Ron pulled away. "Come on we have to patrol." Ron said in the most serious tone he could muster, he started walking back down the hallway. Hermione laughed and walked next to him. Their arms brushed briefly. "Come on Hermione, we're supposed to be patrolling." He joked. She laughed again. This time she went for the approach that she knew he couldn't resist. She pushed him against the wall, aggressively and pressed her body against his. She could tell that this was the reaction he was hoping for. She forcefully pushed her lips on his and they stayed in the lip-lock for several minutes before they had to come up for air. Hermione smiled up at Ron.

"Come on, we're supposed to be patrolling." She said with a small smile, taking his hand and walking with him down the corridor. Ron held her close as they walked. He let his arm fall to her waist and then lower. "Ron!" Hermione said, moving his hand back up.

"Yes love?" Ron asked lowering his arm to very low on her waist so it was just barely touching her butt. Hermione turned to look at him with a half of a smirk on her face.

"Nothing." She said with a mischievous smile. She figured that if he could play at this game than she would to. She was waiting for the right time when she would push him against the wall again and press her body against his but not give in and let him have the kiss. She never got the chance because a light at the end of a wand was approaching them.

Of course it was Snape with the light because who else would be out this late, eager to catch students out of bed. Snape moved the light from their eyes and looked at them.

"What are you two doing out of bed?" Snape asked. "And Granger of all people." He looked at them and then noticed where Ron's arm was. Ron realized that his arm was still around Hermione and not in the most appropriate of places. Ron pulled his arm away and took another step away from Hermione.

"Patrolling Professor." Hermione said. "We're supposed to patrol the corridors." She knew that her face was slightly pink because she hadn't realized where Ron's hand was until it was pointed out.

"As of five minutes ago you should have been done patrolling. Five points from Gryffindor from each of you for being out after 10." Snape said. He eyed Ron debating on whether to take more points away. Snape didn't say anything and Ron was relieved. He figured he didn't take more points away because he didn't want to draw attention to what he saw. "Get back to your dormitories or it will be more."

"Yes Professor." Hermione said, taking Ron's hand and pulling him in the direction of the Head Common Room. They walked up to the Head Common Room in silence for fear that Snape would jump out at them. They kept a good distance, just holding hands no teasing each other. Hermione still wanted to continue her game with Ron so when the portrait hole opened she walked in before he did. She didn't wait for him to get all of the way in; she pulled him into the Common Room and instead of her original plan she pushed him against the wall and started to kiss him. When he was very absorbed in her she reached into the pocket of his hoodie and pulled out his wand. He realized what she was doing too late because by the time he pulled away from her she already had his wand. Since she was not tall enough to hold it over his head she took out her own wand and levitated it over his head. He looked up at her and then grinned at her. He pretended to reach for the wand and when she looked away from him to levitate it higher he went after her. He lifted her off the ground by the waist and placed her on the couch. She made no protest as he leaned in to kiss her. The teasing game had ended; Ron and Hermione had both given up, having trouble fighting desire.

The kissing was passionate but eventually they had to call it quits so that they would not take it any further. They both wanted too but acording to them the timing just wasn't right. Ron and Hermione stood from the couch to take off their sweatshirts and go to bed. Hermione gave Ron his wand back and as she looked from the couch to the wand she had an idea.

"You know how we've been working on transfiguring large object in McGonagall's class right?" Hermione asked, holding her wand out.

"Mmhmm," Ron nodded very tired.

"Well I was in the library after dinner when you went back to the paper office and I found this spell…" Three words and a wand wave later the couch started to transform. It was still a couch but now it was a pullout couch. Ron's eyes opened wide as he eyed the comfortable bed. "We could pull it out to sleep on an then out it back to normal in the morning."

"Could you conjure up some pillows and a comforter?" Ron asked, missing the feeling of sleeping on an actual bed. He sure as hell had no idea how to do that but he had an inkling that Hermione did.

"I haven't practiced it much but I think so." She said. She tried the conjuring spell and managed to conjure yp twp pillows and a blue comforter. Ron had no doubt that she could do that. He fell into bed taking Hermione with him. She snuggled up next to him.

"Love you." Ron managed to mutter before falling asleep.

"I love you too." Hermione said although she knew he was asleep. She was not really tired yet. She had something on her mind that had been there since New Years. Tonight they had come close to having sex but they both agreed that they wanted to do it at the right time but when was their special moment. Harry and Ginny had theirs several days after Harry gave her a ring and promised that they would be together forever. Hermione and Ron had that in a silent agreement; they knew that they were meant for each other. There really was no special time to do it at Hogwarts. She supposed that she might have to wait until they were out but she was ready now and she knew he was too. Why wasn't there a moment for them? Hermione drifted off to sleep with these thoughts in her head.

The next morning when she woke up she knew that she had to talk to Ginny. Verbally expressing her problem would help her and Ginny was great at giving advice.

When Ron felt Hermione stir he was awaken too.

"Morning." Ron said, kissing her forehead.

"Morning." Hermione sat up and gave him a kiss. She sat up all of the way and got off of the bed.

"What's the rush?" Ron asked. "We have a couple minutes."

"I know but I'm kind of hungry and I need to talk to Ginny." Hermione said. Truthfully she really was hungry. Yesterday at dinner she and Ginny had been too occupied with discussing the ball that they had barely eaten.

"Alright." Ron agreed. They folded up the bed and went to Gryffindor Tower to change. Hermione changed into her robes and fixed her hair. Then she went up to the sixth year girls' dormitory to wait for Ginny. A few minutes later Ginny walked tiredly up the steps and into the room.

"What are you doing up here Hermione?" Ginny asked with a yawn.

"I need to talk to you so hurry up and get dressed. I'm going to go tell Ron and Harry that they could go on without us." Hermione explained.

"Can you tell me now?" Ginny asked. Hermione shook her head.

"There are ears everywhere." She said remembering Lavender listening in on their last conversation.

"Alright." Ginny said. "I'll be down in a minute."

Hermione arrived downstairs just as Harry was joining Ron on a couch.

"Morning Hermione." Harry yawned.

"Good morning." Hermione replied. "You two can head down to breakfast. I'm gunna wait for Ginny."

"We'll wait too." Harry said. "I'm in no rush." He was half asleep, talking with his eyes closed.

"Mate, I think she wants to talk to Ginny and we're not supposed to be there." Ron said.

"Oh." Harry said in a yawn. He managed to stand up. Ron gave Hermione a kiss.

"We'll be downstairs, I'll try to save you breakfast but I make no promises."
He joked.

"Thank you." Hermione said, glad that Ron understood her so well. She sat on a couch until Ginny joined her downstairs.

"So what's up?" Ginny asked as they walked out of the common room.

"Well…" Hermione explained what happened last night. "Both of us want to wait for a special time but I don't see when we're going to get one." Ginny thought for a second.

"Since I am the expert on advice for this school, I will look past the fact that you're talking about my brother and help you out. See your both waiting for the right time to come. The right time is not going to present it's self. If you want a right time then you have to make it right. I suggest that since Valentines Day is coming up you make the necessary hints and then after you eat dinner go back up to your common room. If you say your both ready then Valentines Day seems to be the right time your looking for." Ginny explained. Hermione considered for a moment.

"Yeah, thanks Gin." Hermione said. "Or should I say, Dr. Ginny." She joked. Ginny laughed.

"This ones on the house but the next one is gunna cost you 20 galleons." Ginny said. Hermione laughed, the girls linked arms and walked to the Great Hall together.
