Chapter 5

Getting Caught

The night had gone smoothly, until Ron and Hermione got up and realised the time. It seemed both them and Harry and Ginny had slept in. Ron cursed himself for being so stupid.

There was no way they were going to get away with this. They heard the shouting from downstairs and knew they were done for. Hermione clung to Ron's chest and fell asleep again within minutes. Ron knew there was no point rushing to get dressed or anything so just let Hermione cuddle up to him and stroked her back slowly.

He heard his mother stomping up the stairs then three harsh knocks on the door.

"Cover up what you don't want seen!" she shouted. She sounded REALLY angry.

"Mum, we have done nothing but sleep all night, we are dressed in our pyjamas." he told her, rolling his eyes.

She then walked into his room with a face like thunder. It was times like these that Ron feared for his life, even if Molly was his mother.

Her face softened when she saw Hermione asleep and cuddling into Ron's side. She had walked into Ginny's room to find both her and Harry naked in her bed, evidence of the night before lingering in the room.

She was so angry with them that they had disobeyed her and disrespected her. She was more angry with Ginny than Harry as she knew it was her who seduced him. Sometimes she wished her daughter was more like Arthur than herself.

Ron and Hermione, however, were doing nothing wrong. Just taking comfort in the other's embrace and keeping away the other's nightmares.

"Oh, I'm sorry Ron. After finding Harry and Ginny doing, well... never mind. Breakfast is in half an hour. Wake her up Ron." she told him. Ron kissed her cheek and whispered in her ear. A minute later she woke up.

"Oh! Mrs Weasley! We weren't doing anything. I was just scared and didn't want to sleep alone, Ron scares off my nightmares you see.

We didn't mean to disrespect you or Mr Weasley at all. I would love to say that we won't do it again but I am scared to sleep without him.

He keeps me safe Mrs Weasley. He stops my bad dreams." she rushed. She had pulled herself up into a sitting position and looked on the verge of tears by the time she had finished.

Molly smiled. Hermione quickly glanced at Ron and he rubbed soothing circles on her arm.

"Don;t worry dear. You weren't doing anything wrong," she assured her, "Breakfast in half an hour" she added, and with that, she was gone.

"Did he mean that Harry and Ginny did what I think they did?" Ron asked Hermione. She kissed his nose.

"It is none of our business either way," she told him. "I love you, you know" she added with a blush. He smiled and kissed her forehead.

"I love you too," he told her and kissed her slowly, without any interruptions or urgency. The war was over and there was no reason to rush.

"Now, I could eat a Hippogriff." he said, laughing at the face she pulled.
