"Where are they?" Everybody was searching for Ron and Hermione. Everybody except Ginny who was sat down with a smirk on her face.

There was a few owls in nearby tree's hooting loudly. There was a couple of splashes out on the lake where the giant squid and merpeople were. Ron and Hermione walked outside in silence trying to figure out what to say.

They both decided to tell the other about their feelings. It was chilly outside. They made their way under their favourite tree near the lake. She started shivering he gave her his jacket, wrapping it around her.

"Thanks" She smiled at him and he smiled back. They sat down on the grass under the tree. They sat in silence for a couple of minutes before she spoke up.

"Did you mean it?" Hermione said quietly looking down at her hands avoiding his sparkling blue eyes.

"Um...what part?" he replied even though he knew the answer.

"The part where you said...y-you loved me" Her hands shook and they both blushed slightly.

"Yeah, I erm did. I-wanted-to-tell-you-earlier-but-Lavender-came-in-and..." She put her finger to his lips and he realised he had been rambling.

"I love you Hermione. I love the way you hair looks, the way you boss me around, the way you nag me about homework, the way you bit your lip when your reading or really nervous" He ran his finger over her lip where she was biting it. "I love the way your always in my mind and how my heart stutters when your around. I have never felt this way about anyone before. I love you." He took her hands in his like he had done in the common room and smiled crookedly at her.

She looked up at him.

"I love you too Ron." She said quietly. "Even though I have tried to get you out of my mind. I tried to get over you when I figured you didn't like me last year and you were glued to Lavender. He pulled her into his arms.

"It felt like I was ripping in two and I couldn't understand it. I knew I liked you but had no idea how much. I wouldn't even admit it to Ginny!" She went quiet for a while but he knew she wasn't done.

"You don't know what it's like Ron.".

"Don't know what what's like?" She pulled away and looked him in the eyes.

"To have your heart ripped in two." He looked away, unable to see her brown eyes. He was silent for a few minutes.

"I do" he whispered.

"What?"

"I do know what it's like. Even though I didn't realize at the time what I was feeling for you." She looked at him again.

"Harry, Harry look over here." Ginny whispered to him. She was stood at the window and had spotted something.

"Look over there. Under the tree." She pointed outside. He looked out and spotted Ron and Hermione.

"They look so right together don't you think" She asked with a smile on her face.

"Yes they do"

---

"I felt the same way when you were with Krum. I hated my hero because I realise he had the only thing I really wanted. He had you. I knew that I had feelings for you for sure in third year but I didn't know what those feelings were and year by year they got stronger. It scared me. You were on my mind constantly."

"Same with me"

"Guess we got it bad then" He joked and put a smile on Hermione's face. He pulled her closed and then they were both leaning in towards each other. Neither realised they were still being watched from the Common Room.

---

"That's Ron and Hermione!"

"They're going to-"

"Yes Ron and Hermione are about to kiss. Oh and if you want to come collect you winnings as soon as it happens, come and see me!" Harry yelled through the common room with the biggest smile on his face. He then saw Lavender's face and his smile grew bigger.

They both wrapped their arms around each other as their lips met in a sweet kiss.

They both pulled away after a while needing air and heard a load of cheers erupting from the common room. They both looked up and saw Harry and Ginny squished against the window as everybody had crammed against them to watch. Hermione giggled and Ron took her in his arms again, kissed her head and motioned to Harry to get lost.

He did as he was told and shooed everybody away from the window. Ron turned back to Hermione and smiled down at her sleeping frame. He kissed her forehead gently before leaning them both against the tree and falling asleep himself.
