"Hey! Hey!" said a voice from behind them. Ron and Hermione had gotten several feet down the beach when the turned around to find Harry running towards the beach. His eyes were still red and puffy. He stopped beside them, caught his breath and said, "Bernard went searching for our trunks when we were playing truth or dare. He also found theseā¦"
He held out his hand to reveal three long pieces of wood. "Our wands!"
"He found them when he was looking for medicine in the cargo area. Fred and George were just happy to get their trunks and pranks back!"
He looked between the two of them as they took their wands out of his palm. They were both slightly red at having Harry there when they were in the middle of (almost) having a date. He smiled knowingly, waved, and headed back to the camp for a good night's sleep.
"Sh-Shall we c-carry on?" Hermione asked. Ron nodded and they continued walking down the beach, the rolling waves crashing against the shore. Once they were a good way down the beach, Ron checked around them to make sure this was the right spot. He reached out and took her hand, motioning for them to sit down.
They sat down, still, holding each other's hands, staring up at the stars. Hermione whispered, "It's beautiful."
Ron nodded, the lump in his throat growing larger by the minute. He decided that right now was the perfect time. He turned around and waved his wand in the direction of the forest, and a soft music started to play. Hermione turned towards him, a curious look in her eyes.
"Would you like to dance?" Ron asked, his ears bright red. Hermione nodded and they stood up. Ron put his arms around her waste and she put her arms around his neck; the lyrics started to play, the two of them staring into each other's eyes.
I can't ignore when
you walk in
Sensations consume me
Burn me alive with your
touch
Burn it all away
Be the source of my devastation
Conquer
me - escape into me
Let me feel the flame of your
heartUncontrolled fires rage within and without
Waiting for the rain to quench all
Wishing for distant lands
of calm and clear
It all started here
This freefall into
insanity
Hermione rested her head on his chest and he took in the light aroma of her perfume.
Your heart burns for
only me
Burn me with your love
Don't think - Just embrace it
Is
this the master plan?
Uncontrolled fires
rage within and without
Waiting for the rain to quench
all
Wishing for distant lands of calm and clear
It all started
here
This freefall into insanity
"I really like you Hermione," Ron said, pulling away from her to look her in the eyes.
"I really like you too," Hermione said, moving closer to him.
I'll do whatever it
takes
To have you burn for only me
The flames in your eyes
scorch me
Burn me more
Your gaze liberates me
I'll take
what's given to me
Burn it all away
Be the source of my
devastation
Conquer me - escape into me
Hermione looked up into his bright blue eyes, and he stared down into her chocolate brown ones. They slowly moved closer to each other, until their lips finally met.
(A/N): I dedicate this chapter to my BFF Rosie, who probably loved the whole point of this chapter!
