Finding Hope

As Ron and Hermione walk down the stairs that were filled with rubble and dirt. A dark red patch was pooled near the doors, she felt Ron's hand tense as they walked past she wondered if the person whose blood that belonged to was alive? She felt Ron relax more as they walked further away from the castle. Hermione wondered if Ron had a specific place he wanted to go or if he was just going with the flow. As they got closer to their destination, Hermione soon wondered why Ron would want to come to this place. Why on earth would Ron want to come to the Black Lake? When they got there Ron let go of Hermione's hand and dropped to the floor and just sat there staring at the lake. Unsure of what to do Hermione just sat down and played with her hands.

"I loved him you know "Ron Started. " I know I didn't say it much but I did. I always thought I'd never miss him, cause he used to pick on me so much but, now that he's gone I . . . . . I just . . . I just don't know if he knew I loved him? "Ron said with a frown.

"O Ron, I'm sure he knew and I bet he loved you just as much and do you know what he'd say if he saw you like this? He'd say Oi Ronniekins, stop being such a wanker and grow up." Hermione tried to explain.

"You know what Hermione, I think your right but you know what he said before we left for the hunt. He said Ron it's obvious to everyone that you love Hermione so grow a pair and snog her" Ron said with a sad smile, as a tear ran down his face. He abruptly stood up and held his hand out to Hermione. She gladly took it as he pulled her up. They stood less than 5 inches apart. He slowly raised his hand and gently started to caress her face. Feeling the gentleness of this Hermione leaned into his hand and closed her eyes as he continued to caress her face. Hermione felt a sudden warmth on her lips soon realising it was just Ron she quickly responded before long their lips were moving in sync and she felt his tongue ask for entrance. She granted and she soon found her hands were weaved into his hair and his were squeezing her bum softly.

As sudden drop of water on her face caused them to spring apart slightly, as it started to rain heavily. They laughter and continued to kiss. After about five minutes they decided that it was getting to cold. Ron deciding to be brave held out his hand for Hermione, which she quickly took. They ran back to the castle, together, hand-in-hand, laughing.

I'm finally gonna be happy again. Ron thought. Little did he know his mother and family were inside wondering what had indeed happen during their year on the hunt.

Ok that was it what did you think?

I am really looking forward to the next chapter, the Weasley's ask about the hunt and find out about the ministry, and Gringotts and sadly Malfoy Manor.
