Chapter 2: The Morning After

Disclaimer: If you can Google it, it isn't mine… simple as that. :P

The next morning, squeals of delight could be heard throughout Gryffindor tower. Now, if anyone could see inside of the 5th year girl's dorms, they would've seen an excited Lavender Brown and Pavarti Patil, practically jumping up and down, and an extremely embarrassed Hermione and Ron, with his whole face and ears turning a shade of red that rivaled his hair and sprawled out on the floor after falling out of the bed tangled in the covers when the squeals had started.

"EEEEEEEEKKKKKK! So you guys are FINALLY together! ", Lavender shouted excitedly. Hermione groaned and attempted to push her rather unruly, bushy hair away from her face.

"Lavender! Stop yelling! Why are you so excited about this?"

"Well Hermione, it's because everyone's been wondering when you two would finally figure it out and just get together!" At this point, Lavender looked like she was just about ready to burst from excitement… in that typical, extremely girly way.

"Oh come on Lavender, it isn't THAT big of a deal…." Hermione sighed wondering if she would have to hear this all day…

"Well of course it is! By the way, what were you two doing in bed together?" Lavender had a sly look on her face. Hermione sat there almost nervous at the look Lavender was giving her.

"Nonononono! It wasn't like that at all! Ron! Say something! Don't just sit there!" Hermione looked like she was just about ready to spring up out of the bed and strangle something... or in this case, Ron.

"Well what am I supposed to say 'Mione? It does look rather suspicious with the two of us in the same bed…" Ron stated getting up off the floor slowly and detangling himself from the sheets.

"*Groan* You are no help whatsoever Ronald Weasley!" Hermione playfully slapped him on the arm.

"Geez 'Mione, Lavender, it's too early for this sort of thing…" Ron groaned, collapsing back on Hermione's bed… only to land on top of Hermione, who emitted a small squeak.

"Ron! Get off! I can't breathe with you on me…." Hermione tried to yell the best that she could with Ron laying on her stomach. Attempting to push Ron off her stomach, she accidentally pushed him off the bed.

"Ooof! Bloody hell 'Mione! Was that really necessary?" Ron was now rubbing his backside, trying to ease the pain of falling to the floor… twice.

"I'm so sorry Ron! Are you ok?" Hermione was slightly panicking, hoping that her new boyfriend was ok.

"Eh I guess I'll be ok after a little while… but meanwhile I'm starving! We should go down to breakfast…" Ron was now rubbing his stomach and a large rumbling noise could be heard from his direction.

Hermione groaned, "Ron! Is food all that you think about?"

"Can we just go 'Mione? Please?" Ron had finally gotten up off the floor and was holding out his hand to Hermione so that they could go to breakfast together.

Hermione grabbed his hand and heaved herself off the bed and said, "Sure, but we should probably change first… our clothes are all wrinkled now."

"I guess… I'll meet you in the common room then?" Ron asked almost hesitantly, remembering that Lavender was still in the room.

"Of course! I love you Ron…" Hermione scooted closer to Ron.

Huskily, Ron replied, "I love you too, 'Mione…" wrapping his arms around her and capturing her lips in a quick kiss before walking out of the girl's dorm to his own dorm, preparing for a bombardment of questions from Harry that was bound to come…

A/N I apologize if this chapter wasn't really that great... I promise that the next chapter should be a little better and a hopefully a little more exciting. :)
