One and Only

Chapter Forty-two

Outside of each of the doors were a few boxes with pictures of TV's and DVD players and stereos on them, and next to the boxes there was a bag full of DVD's and CD's that Hermione had picked out, knowing what Ron would like.

"I thought we couldn't order the TV from those magazines?" Ron asked, confused but happy that they had a TV.

"We couldn't." Hermione said. "I ordered them from a muggle magazine my mum sent me so we're all set now." Ron smiled and bent down to lift the box up. It was a 32" TV so he had to have Harry and his brothers help him get it in the place, then he had to help Harry with his. It didn't occur to them to use magic. Hermione and Ginny laughed as they watched the guys lift the heavy boxes and bring them into the apartments. They didn't want to spoil it by telling them to use magic.

When Ron got back to his apartment after helping Harry get his TV in he saw that Hermione had just finished setting up the TV, stereo, and DVD with all the plugs.

"How'd you lift that?" He asked, they had left the box on the floor in front of the TV stand.

"Magic." Hermione answered with a smile as she was headed over to Harry and Ginny's to set theirs up. Ron went to look around the apartment. He checked out the office/library then the bedroom. In there he crashed down upon the bed thinking about the ring box in his pocket. He knew what Ginny said was right and he was glad that she had talked him out of returning the ring. That would have been a mistake. His nerves had just gotten the best of him.

Hermione came through the door and fell down upon the bed next to him. He put his arm around her and kissed her on the forehead.

"This is pretty comfy." Hermione said.

"Yup, much comfier than the couch." Ron said. Hermione laughed.

"Much comfier." She agreed. Ron rolled on top of Hermione and kissed her. She kissed back and they got pretty into it before there was a knock at the door.

"Hate to interrupt but if you lot don't get back in a few minutes you'll be late." Fred said. They heard them sniggering outside of the door. Ron and Hermione got up and straightened themselves before walking out of the room.

"Testing out the new bed?" George asked with a laugh. Ron and Hermione scowled.

"Where's Harry and Ginny?" Ron asked. He looked at Fred and George's face get angry.

"I'm gunna kill him!" Fred exclaimed, changing his attitude because he thought Harry and Ginny were in the other apartment doing the same thing as Ron and Hermione. He and George started for the other apartment.

"Maybe I should go get them." Hermione said. She hurried off to get them before Fred and George could do any damage. They relaxed a bit and looked at Ron.

"So you think we could stay a bit and watch some TV?" George asked.

"Yeah, this movie looks interesting." Fred held up the DVD case of The Fast and the Furious.

"Sorry." Ron said. "I don't trust you two here on your own." He started ushering them out the door. They looked offended.

"You don't trust us?" George asked.

"No." Ron answered. "And you don't even know how to work a DVD player."

"So." They said in protest.

"Look we'll have you two and Angelina and Alicia over for dinner sometime but right now we have to go." Ron insisted.

"Is Hermione cooking?" Fred asked. Ron nodded.

"Of course." He answered.

"Can it be sometime soon?" George asked. Ron nodded again.

"Sure." He said.

"Alright then." They agreed. They walked out and saw that Hermione managed to get Harry and Ginny together. Doors were locked, keys were left underneath the mats in front of the doors for Hermione's mum and they Apparated back to Hogsmede, happy with their new apartments.

The final Quidditch game of the year and Ron and Harry's final Quidditch game at Hogwarts – ever – was on the last day of May, it was also the day after Hermione had been told that she was highest in the class and had to make a speech at graduation. They were all happy for her.

The last match was Gryffindor vs. Slytherin. The morning of there was a loud echo of Weasley is Our King in the Great Hall and it was the Slytherin version. Hermione told Ron to ignore it as they walked in the Great Hall. Ron tried to but it was pretty nerve-racking. As they were walking to their seats Malfoy came up to them with Parkinson dangling off his arm.

"Why if it isn't Weasel King." Malfoy said malevolently. Ron ignored him and tried to walk around but Malfoy stopped him. "You're going down today Weasley." Ron's look was indifferent after Malfoy said this. Again he tried to walk past, this time Malfoy stepped aside but Ron heard him before he walked away, "Mudblood lover." Ron turned around but Hermione had a good grip on his shoulder.

"Forget about it Ron. He's just trying to make you mad." Hermione said. Ron glared at Malfoy before turning away.

"I was just trying to make him scared." Ron said. "I wasn't really going to hit him."

"I know." Hermione said. "But save it for the match." They went to eat and then when it was time Hermione gave Ron a kiss and wished him luck.

She walked out to the stands by herself because Tonks was getting too pregnant to come to the matches. Hermione cheered loudly when Gryffindor came out and she cheered extra loud for Ron. When the game started Hermione could hear the Slytherins loud and clear singing Weasley is Our King. She heavily sighed and looked to Ron who was watching wearily as a Slytherin Chaser came at him with a Quaffle. Hermione could see that Ron got nervous as he let it in because he could normally save an easy one like that. After Ron let three more in Hermione knew she had to do something to get Ron focused on the game. Seamus was commentating extra loud so that it would cover up the singing but it wasn't quite working. She remembered him saying that he made the goals for her, his first match so when another Chaser was coming at him she cheered extra loud, trying to get his attention. It worked but he freaked as they started to throw it and let it in.

Hermione was at a loss of something to do to get his confidence back but as she was hearing the lyrics to the Slytherin song she remembered fifth year and what the Gryffindors sang when Ron helped them win. She was just one lowly voice but she started singing anyways at the top of her lungs even though she wasn't the best singer.

"Weasley is our King!

Weasley is out King!

He won't let the Quaffle in!

Weasley is our King!" She took a deep breath before she continued but when she did there were several other voices singing along. She looked to see Colin, Vanessa, Parvati, and Denis singing along too.

"Weasley can save anything!

He never leaves a single ring!

That's why the Gryffindors all sing:

Weasley is our king!" Soon every Gryffindor in the stands was singing along and Hermione even heard Hagrid belting it out.

"Weasley it our King!

Weasley is our King!

He won't let the Quaffle in!

Weasley is our King!" Hermione heard some singing from the other stands and caught Ernie, Hannah, Zacharis, Susan, Padma, and Justin getting their houses to join in on the cheering. She smiled and continued on.

"Weasley can save anything!

He never leaves a single ring!

That's why the Gryffindors, Hufflepuffs, and Ravenclaws all sing:

WEASLEY IS OUR KING!"

Ron looked over when he heard the small voice of Hermione belting out Weasley is Our King. He was slowly amazed as more people started joining in and then three out of the four houses were singing to help him. All of these people were cheering for him to make. All of them were relying on him to save the goals from Slytherin. Hermione was cheering him on to make it – she believed in him. This time as the Slytherin Chaser approached he was ready, he caught the Quaffle and tossed it to Ginny who made her 7th goal that match. The match went on and Ginny made more goals, the Gryfindors, Hufflepuffs, and Ravenclaws all sang over the Slytherins, and Ron saved more goals.

Harry was sitting on his broom, looking out for the snitch when Malfoy flew up to him.

"So Potter, I wonder what the manger of the England team would think when he found out you lost the last match ever to me. I wonder if he'll change his choice for seeker." Malfoy said, taunting Harry. Harry knew it was a bunch of rubbish because no one in their right mind would choose Malfoy for professional anything. Then Harry noticed something gold fluttering just by Malfoy's greasy blonde head. It zoomed away.

"Only in your dreams Malfoy." Harry said before flying off at a rapid pace to catch the snitch. Malfoy followed too but he wasn't even remotely close to catching it.

The ending of the game was perfect. Ron saved a goal and then tossed the Quaffle to Dean who tossed it to Ginny who made the goal right before Harry caught the snitch. Hermione rushed out of the stands to Ron. He lifted her up and kissed her.

"You were great!" Ron said, commenting on her confidence booster. "Thank you!"

"Really?" Hermione asked. "I suck at singing."

"Well not that part but it did boost my confidence." Ron said. Hermione giggled.

"Do you want to go up to the party?" She asked. Ron shook his head. "But it's that last one."

"Doesn't matter to me." Ron said. "I think it would be good for us if we had a nice relaxing rest of today with no studying." Hermione smiled.

"If it's what you want." She said. Ron went to the locker rooms and changed before he and Hermione started walking in search of a tree to sit under. They chose one that was pretty far from the castle but it was nice and quiet. They sat down and Hermione decided to get him going on the match since it was his last match. "You did great today Ron." Hermione said.

"Well that's all because of you and all of the Gryffindors, Hufflepuffs, and Ravenclaws. Otherwise I would have let them in." Ron said. Hermione smiled and moved into his arms.

"No we didn't save all of those goals for you. It was all you Ron and you did very good." Hermione said.

"Well I guess it was me after you lot gave me the confidence." Ron said. "Did you see how I saved that one from…" And Ron was off on his longwinded explanation on how the match went. Hermione smiled and listened to him as she cuddled up close to him under the shade of the tree. She was really going to miss hearing this from him after every match but she supposed that when he played a match with his siblings or something of the sort she would get to hear it. She listened and nodded her head while he talked and said things like, "That was amazing!" and "You were great then."

Ron had already relived the match twice for her and they had talked about their flat and the businesses. They decided to head into the castle for dinner but before they could move Hermione noticed the sky changing colors and the sun was setting.

"Look!" She pointed to the sky. They stayed like that watching the sky until they could see the moon and the stars clearly. "Wow." Hermione breathed when it was over. Ron smiled at her and kissed the top of her head. "It's perfect except for those few storm clouds."

"Speaking of those, we should probably head in. Remember last time we stayed out in the rai–" Ron stopped talking when a rain drop fell on his head followed by a few more. There was a crack of thunder and flash of lightning as the sky broke and rain started to pour down on them. Ron grabbed Hermione's hand and they jumped up, running for the castle. They had a way to go since they wandered off so far from the castle but they ran, remembering how sick they got the last time. When they got back to the castle, they were soaking wet. Dinner had ended and the Entrance and Great hall was deserted. Ron and Hermione headed up to the Head Common Room before they could get caught by Snape or any other teacher. As soon as they got through the portrait hole they both started laughing.

"We should probably change out of these wet clothes before we get sick." Hermione laughed, starting for her trunk.

"That's probably a smart idea." Ron said, pulling her in for a kiss. As they were kissing Ron started to lift Hermione's shirt off. They parted only so Hermione could pull it over her head and then they resumed the lip-lock. Hermione lifted Ron's shirt off and again that was the only reason for their parting. The rest of the clothes came off as they went for the bed.

a/n: One last time in the rain, I had to. It's where they got together and where they got sick. There's so many memories in the rain that I just had to make one more. I hope you liked it! Review please!
