1Chapter 14
When the four friends entered the living room Fred and George were the only ones left.
'Oh great.' Hermione thought. They were looking at Hermione and Ron with those infamous smirks. Ron shot them a dirty look and sat down on the couch. Hermione sat down next to him.
"So... What were you crazy kids doing?" George asked.
"Oh you know the usual. Shagging like wild dogs." Ginny said playfully. Everyone laughed at her comment except George.
"Well I guess we better get going. We do have to work tomorrow." Fred said. Him and his twin brother stood up from their seats, told everyone goodbye and apparated.
"Well im going to bed. Tonight has been.. Well eventful." Hermione said standing up.
"Goodnight." Ron told her. She leaned down, gave him a peck on the lips, told Ginny and Harry goodnight, and went upstairs. After she took her shower, got dressed in her favorite pajamas and laid down, Hermione couldn't sleep. She wondered if Ron was asleep yet. After a short while of laying there Ginny finally came to bed.
"Hermione are you still awake?" She whispered in the dark.
"Yes." Hermione whispered back. Why was she still whispering?
"Good. We're grown women so im just going to tell you that I came to get my pajamas and then im going to Harrys room. So... Goodnight." Ginny said gathering her things.
"Yeah goodnight." Hermione said watching her with a smirk on her face. After Ginny left Hermione continued to lay in her bed thinking.
'I should just go see if he's awake. It's better than just laying her wondering. I just go do it!' Her mind screamed. She finally flipped back the covers and tiptoed her way down the hall to Rons room. She put her ear against the door to see if she could hear any noise that he was still awake. Nothing. She knocked on the door lightly. She heard footsteps and the door opened. Ron stood there in his pajama pants and no shirt. Hermione tried to keep her cool from seeing his body.
"Um.. I.. I couldn't..." Hermione stuttered, clearly staring at his torso. Ron didn't say anything but he grabbed her, kissed her fiercely and drug her inside his room in his arms. Hermione melted against him at contact.
'Wow he's not shy is he?' She thought. She pulled back from him and chuckled.
"Wow you go right in for the kill don't you?" She said. Ron let out a breath and laughed himself.
"I'm sorry. I couldn't sleep. I was thinking I should just come and see if you were still awake but you already decided to come see if I was awake so.. Yeah." Ron started to explain.
"Ron you crack me up. You're so cute." Hermione said grinning up at him. Ron shrugged his shoulders.
"Yeah well what can I say?" He joked.
"Nothing. Just show me." Hermione said quietly. Ron stared at her while she wrapped her arms around his neck and leaned up to kiss him. Ron pulled her closer to him, deepening the kiss.
"Do you want to stay with me tonight?" Ron asked between kisses. Hermione nodded her head and they both made their way to his bed. They laid down, never breaking contact, and laid there, snogging each other like there was no tomorrow. After taking a breather they lay there, holding each other and talking.
"Things are going to be so different now aren't they?" Hermione asked.
"Yes. But they're going to be good changes." Ron answered. Hermione snuggled closer to him, her head on his chest she listened to his heart beat.
"I love you." She said against his neck, placing a feather kiss under his chin.
"I love you too." He said and kissed her head. They talked some more and then before they knew it they fell fast asleep. Waking the next morning in each others arms felt so right and perfect. Hermione wanted to wake up like this every morning from then on. Ron was still asleep, so Hermione did her best to get out bed as quietly as she could. She managed not to wake him up and left the room to go to the bathroom. She did her usual morning retuine, and went downstairs to the kitchen. No one else was up so Hermione checked the clock. Again it was 9:00. Hermione crinkled up her nose.
'Is this a habit now or what?' She thought. She decided to make breakfast this time. She grabbed some eggs, bacon and waffles. She cooked everything up in less then 25 minutes. She made a pot of coffee and heard footsteps descending down the stairs. Ginny came into view looking just as disheveled as the morning of her hangover. Hermione knew this time why she looked like that.
"Had a good night I see." Hermione said, trying not to laugh as she took a sip of her coffee. Ginny had a dreamy look on her face.
"Yes I did." She said airily. The two women fixed them plates of breakfast and sat at the kitchen table eating and chatting. Harry and Ron finally showed up and they joined them at the table eating like they have never eaten before. Hermione wanted to tell Ron to eat like a normal person but she couldn't muster herself to say anything. This morning he looked cute when he ate sloppily. After breakfast everyone got dressed and got around.
"Alright I Mum left a list for some chores that we have to do before they get back tomorrow night." Ginny said aloud.
"Like what? De-gnoming the garden? We or more like I already know to do that." Ron said.
"Well good, then you can get started." Ginny said snide tone. Ron flipped her off and Hermione swatted the back of his head.
"Ow!" He said touching his head.
"Aw poor baby. Did I hurt you?" Hermione said in a baby voice. Ron pretended to pout and nodded his head.
"Yes. Kiss it and make it better?" He asked, sticking out his bottom lip. Hermione chuckled and kissed him.
"I do believe you hit his head. Shouldn't you be kissing that?" Ginny said walking past them.
"Bugger off Gin!" Ron called to her and kissed Hermione again.
"Well I guess you better get to work then." Hermione told him.
"Yeah I guess I better. The faster I get it done the more time I'll have with you." He said smiling at her.
"That's right. So go get to it!" Hermione and said and playfully swatted his behind. He laughed and walked out the back door.
"Aren't you going to go help him?" Hermione asked Harry as he entered the kitchen. Harry snorted with laughter.
"Yeah right! And get bit by one of those little monsters? I think not!" Harry said walking to the fridge.
"Oh come Harry that's why you wear gloves! Honestly man they're just gnomes!" Hermione scolded him.
"Alright, alright I'll go help him!" He said and walked out the back door shaking his head.
"Hey Ginny?" Hermione called up to Ginny.
"Yeah?" Ginny yelled.
"What do you want me to do?" Hermione called back.
"You can help me dust and what not! You can start downstairs since im already upstairs!" Ginny yelled.
"Alright!" Hermione yelled and picked up a duster and started dusting. Hermione was dusting away when the phone rang. Mr. Weasley wanted to have as many working muggle artifacts in his home as possible. And a telephone was one of them.
"Hello?' Hermione asked.
"Hermione? It's Oliver." Olivers voice answered. Hermions breath caught in her throat, and she couldn't answer.
