I Found a Reason For Me

Chapter Five

"Hermione, wake up," Ron shook her gently, sitting on the edge of her bed. Hermione's eyes slowly opened up. "Come on, beautiful, get up. Its passed noon." He told her. Hermione squinted. "Why would you let me sleep so late?" She asked him, sitting up with great difficulty.

"You deserved the sleep, but now you're just over doing it." Ron told her. Hermione nodded. "Where is Lexie?" Hermione asked, still trying to get herself up and awake. "She is watching cartoons. She is up and ready to go shopping. And you should be too!" He said, happily. "Hermione, I hate going shopping, so get up before I change my mind." He threatened, smiling at her.

He left the room and Hermione got out of bed. She went in her bathroom and took a shower.

"What are you watching, Lexie?" Ron asked her, kneeling in front of her. Lexie shrugged. Ron knew she knew what she was watching, only she didn't know how to say it, or interpret what he was saying to begin with.

"Do you want to put on new clothes?" Ron asked her, and all she did was stare. Ron sighed and nodded. "Here." He put his arms out for her and she walked into them, letting him pick her up and carry her to Hermione's room.

"Hermione?" Ron called. Hermione, who had just gotten out of the shower, walked out of the bathroom. "Do you want to change Lexie for today?" He asked her. She smiled. "Yeah, could you hold her a moment while I finish getting dressed?" Hermione asked, and Ron nodded.

"So, Lexie," Ron started, placing Lexie on the bed, "do you want to go shopping?" Lexie looked confused again. "Sopping?" she asked. Ron nodded. "Shopping." He knew Lexie couldn't say it right, but either way she deserved praise. He stared at her for a moment before reaching his hands out to tickle her. She obviously was weak to this, as she immediately started giggling an rolling on her back.

Hermione came out of the bathroom, smiling. She saw how Ron was handling Lexie. Her smile grew wider as she saw Lexie smiling and giggling, something only Hermione could do. Ron stopped when he noticed Hermione's presence. Hermione smiled at him. He blushed. "Lexie, baby, are you ready to get changed?" Hermione asked, and Lexie just sat on the bed staring at Hermione. "Want new clothes, Lexie?" Hermione asked again. Lexie nodded. Hermione took some clothes out of her suit case. She took off Lexie shirt, pants, and underwear. At this, Ron turned around, feeling uncomfortable. Sure Lexie was a little girl, but she wasn't Ron's little girl, and he didn't feel he had the right.

"Alright." Hermione said. Ron tuned around to see Lexie in a small green dress, with matching shoes. Hermione started brushing Lexie's hair, which was so much like her mother's. In the end, Hermione left Lexie hair down, in curls, just putting a few clips in to get the hair out of her face.

"That's a pretty dress." Ron commented. Hermione looked at him, picking Lexie up and putting her on the floor. "Thanks. It was mine when I was her age. I was bigger than her at this age which is why its loose, but it works." Hermione told him. She looked at Ron, with pain in her eyes. "I don't have any money, so-" Hermione started, but Ron put up a hand. "My treat. You just get what you want for yourself and her. Don't worry about the prices." He told her. Hermione hugged him, and kissed his cheek. She left the room.

Ron was blushing furiously and he felt the spot she kissed him on. He smiled. As he was about to leave he saw a very strange looking Lexie standing next to him. She was smiling widely at him, with big eyes. She held out her hand, and he held it.

Answer to Reviews:

Anonymous : I didn't mean for it to be offensive. I am a female. I meant for it to be romantic. What happened to the wonderful boys who used to opened doors for women? I want everyone to know, that I am all for Women Rights. All women have every right to do anything, however if Hermione didn't find this romantic or an act of kindness, she wouldn't have let him to it.

Also someone asked me what Ron did, he works as Head of the Department of Mysteries. This is the end of the war. Voldemort is gone, and people are recovering. I don't know who much money Ministry members get, but I'm making him get the amount of money he does because he has to have good money for this story to work.

Also someone asked about this being like Pretty Woman. No this isn't like that movie, though the movie is a great one and one of my favorites. This is not based on Pretty Woman, although it seems to have many similarities…
