Chapter 13: That One Special Night
It was about 11 o' clock the night of the almost wedding and everyone was asleep...that is...almost everyone. Ron and Hermione still lay awake trying to cry themselves to sleep. Hermione got up and walked to the steps and down them into the kitchen to find Ron there sitting at the kitchen table drinking and he was as drunk as ever. She walked up to him.
"Ron, are you alright?"
He stood up, swaying a bit. "Hey...(hic)...baby."
"Oh my god, you're drunk."
"Yep, baby...and...(hic)...proud...(hic)of...it."
"Ron, how could you have pride in drinking?" She did a sobering spell. He swayed for a minute and then started to fall. She ran over and caught him. She pulled him over to the couch and threw the firewhiskey away. At about midnight he woke up to find Hermione in his arms. He poked her and whispered her name and she woke up. She got up and sat on hte floor next to the couch.
"Don't leave." He whispered.
"I didn't mean to fall asleep in your arms. And I know it's too early for me to be saying this, but I just wanted to remember what it's like to be in your arms once again and I guess once I was in them, I didn't want to leave and I guess I just fell asleep." She said this all very fast, but he knew what she was saying.
"Come here, 'Mione." She crawled back up into his arms once he sat up. "I'm glad you did. I know this may sound very corny, but I had a heart ache, too..." He paused. "I have a question."
"Sure, anything."
"Why am I down here on the couch?"
"When I came down because I couldn't get to sleep, you were sitting at the table drinking, and I don't think you could have gotten any more drunk." She noticed the face he was giving her. "And I put a sobering charm on you and you swayed on the spot for a moment and then fell, but I caught you and put you on the couch and waited for you to wake up."
"Oh, god. I promised myself I wouldn't drink."
"Why were you drinking? We are still going to get married."
"It wasn't that. I was drinking because of what my mum did and said."
"Oh,"
"How long have I been out?"
"About an hour."
"Oh. I see...Come with me."
"Ok."
They apparated to the other room sitting on the edge of the bed.
"I love you, 'Mione."
"I love you, too, Ron."
"Will you marry me once we graduate, Hermione Granger?" He said looking in her eyes.
"Yes. Yes, I will." She hugged him and he kissed her.
They looked into each others eyes for a moment. Hermione leaned in slowly and closed her eyes, kissing her, once again fiancee.
When Hermione awoke the next morning, she remember the not so innocent night she had with Ron and then remember there plan about not being friends, but smiled big all the same. She woke up Ron and they hurried up and got dressed and apparated to their rooms and pretending to be asleep, both with gigantic smiles on their faces. Just a few minutes later, Mrs. Weasley came in to wake up Ginny and Hermione.
"Ginny, wake up." Ginny woke up wiping the sleep from her eyes. "Wake Hermione up for me. I don't think she wants to talk to me right now." Mrs. Weasley whispered.
"Ok, mum."
Mrs. Weasley left and Ginny woke up Hermione and they went down to the kitchen to eat and get ready to go back to school.
