Ron went to Harry and Ginny's house to have a talk to Ginny. He wanted to do a special dinner with Hermione to show her that he still loves her and that he's changed. But he needs help from his sister.
"Hi Ron, what are you doing here?" Ginny asked when she opened her door.
"I actually wanted to talk to you and I need a little bit of help with something?" Ron asked his sister.
"Oh alright, well the kids are sleeping, and Harry isn't home but come on in." Ginny welcomed her brother in.
They both went to sit down in the living room and Ginny brought in some tea and crackers.
"Well umm obviously you know the story of me and Hermione, and I would like to win her back and I have an idea but not really sure of it, so I came here and I want to ask you for a little advice." Ron told Ginny.
"Well I am definitely still as hurt as Hermione is, but I do understand and saw how hurt you've been these past couple weeks. I can sort of see that you have changed. I think when you finally realized that Hermione could be gone forever, you opened your eyes and I'm really proud of you Ronald. Hermione is one of my best friends and all I want to see if my brother and best friend happy. And I am sorry Ron for the things that I said to you." Ginny took a moment of silence to look at her brother.
"So what did you have in mind?" Ginny definitely took a lot of time to think of what to say, but it meant a lot to Ron that she would say that.
"Hermione still is a little angry and I don't blame her at all. I want to get her back and show her that I still care. Her birthday is almost here and I want to give her a special night for her birthday, probably take her out to dinner or something." Ron said.
Ginny took a moment and thought "Well why don't you just have a little dinner in the back yard? I think that would be better. Hermione isn't really the fancy type you know? Have some candles, flowers, me and Harry will watch the kids that night." Ginny suggested.
"That sounds great Ginny. I think that'll do!" Ron left and immediately started to think. Her birthday was 4 days away and he wanted it to be perfect.
Hermione's birthday was finally here. Ron had everything planned out. The kids would be going to sleep over at Harry and Ginny's tonight and everything needed to be perfect. Hermione and he would be home alone the whole night and he hoped to reconnect with his wife again.
He walked into the kitchen where Hermione was cooking lunch for the kids before they left to Harry's. Ron didn't tell her anything, he just told her that Ginny wanted the kids over for a sleepover and she was fine with that.
"Happy birthday Hermione." Ron said to her.
"Thank you." Hermione said with a smile. "So the kids ready for their sleepover? Did they pack yet?" Hermione asked.
"Yup their all set. I packed all their stuff for them that they'd need and they are really excited." Ron said.
Hermione was surprised that Ron packed their stuff for the kids and remembered her birthday. Hermione continued to make lunch and sat everyone down to eat. It was their first time that they'd ate lunch together in a long time. It was nice to finally have everyone together. Soon enough they'd be together again as they were before Ron thought.
Ron and Hermione dropped the kids off and came home where Ron told Hermione of his plan. Hermione thought it was just going to be a regular day and Ron and her would just sit in and do nothing. Little did Hermione know that tonight, Ron would make it a special birthday for her.
"Hermione, you have nothing to do tonight do you?" Ron asked her.
"No I don't think so why?" Hermione replied. What was he planning she thought.
"Well since its your birthday, and I just wanted us both to get closer again so I planned a special evening for you. Get dressed and meet me out in the backyard in 30 minutes please?" Ron said waiting for a reply.
Hermione was really surprised that Ron planned something for her. But Hermione did want to see what Ron had done. She couldn't say no. So she said "Alright" and went upstairs to change. She went into their closet and looked through her dresses. She looked and looked and finally found a nice dress that she never really got to wear. A red, v necked, tight cocktail dress. She put it on and found some nice red stilettos to go along with the dress as well. She looked in the mirror and was stunned. She looked pretty good. She hadn't dressed up in a long time. For makeup, she put on a light pink lipstick and eyeliner. Nothing special but it'll do. She looked at the clock and saw that its been almost thirty minutes. She went downstairs and looked out the kitchen window. Ron was standing up waiting for her. He somehow got changed into a nice white dress shirt and dress pants. She went out the door to the back yard and was amazed.
In the middle of the yard was a table set for two. Ron was standing there smiling and Hermione had to admit he looked pretty handsome. Its been a while since the two of them had a dinner together alone. There were candles and roses everywhere. She walked up to him and Ron couldn't help but stare himself. She looked absolutely gorgeous. They walked closer and closer and Ron was the first to speak.
"You look…absolutely fantastic Hermione." Ron told her.
Hermione laughed a little. "Thank you Ron, so do you." Hermione said while pointing her hands towards his outfit.
Ron pulled out a chair for Hermione and she sat right down. Before Ron sat down himself he turned on some music and the song "What are words" by Chris Medina played. He knew it was one of Hermione's favorite songs. Hermione smiled when she heard the song. What was he trying to do Hermione thought.
"Let's eat" Ron said. On the table were steak, mashed potatoes, and cake for dessert. It was absolutely divine Hermione thought. She couldn't wait to dig in, it looked absolutely delicious. Ron couldn't have cooked this by himself though. He was a wizard after all and used some magic. They ate for a while and chatted for a while. It was quite nice, them talking again, about regular things. About the kids, their life, their times at Hogwarts. After they finished the main course, Ron brought out a cake and put the candles in the cake. The numbers 3 and 2 were than lit and Ron actually sang for her. Hermione was absolutely hysterical that he sang for her. She couldn't stop laughing because he wasn't the best singer in the world, but she did appreciate his effort. It was a pretty good birthday even though she was now 32. Goodness I'm getting old she thought. Hermione blew out the candles and they ate a little cake. The next song came on which was "I knew I loved you" by Savage Gardens.
Ron stuck out his hand to Hermione and said "Care to dance?" Hermione took his hand in hers and they headed a few feet away from the table and slow danced. Ron enjoyed this moment completely. Its been so long since they've danced as well. Ron had his hands around her waist and Hermione had her hands around his neck while her head was on his chest. They slowly danced to the song until it was over. Ron then took Hermione's hand into his and said "Hermione, happy 32nd birthday to you. I know its nothing special but I just wanted to do something for you considering what happened in the past couple months. By the way, you look absolutely striking tonight. I know you probably are still mad and that's ok with me. I just want you to know that I love you so much and I've missed you these past couple months. I hope this can reconnect our bond together and we can go back to being the way we used to be." Ron looked into Hermione's eyes waiting for a reply.
"I believe you Ronald. Thank you very much for this actually even though there is no reason for celebrating a 32nd birthday." Hermione said with a smile.
"Every single birthday for you should be celebrated Hermione. You deserve everything and more. I love you Hermione Weasley. I hope you forgive me." Ron said.
Ron then took Hermione's hand and took her to the Pensieve which was on the table. Ron took a flask which Hermione knew were memories because that's what the Pensieve was here for. "Just watch" Ron said. Hermione put her head in and was taken back to the past. To the first time she and Ron met on the train, to their first kiss, to their wedding day, to Rose and Hugo's birth. Hermione watched every single moment and was in awe. She remembered every single one of those days with clear memory. She took her head out of the Pensieve with tears in her eyes. Hermione looked at Ron and gave him a huge hug. She thanked him for reminding her of those wonderful memories that forever changed her life. She missed him so much and couldn't even imagine her life without Ron. He gave her love, a reason to live, wonderful children, and a family that meant everything to her. Hermione broke their hug and looked at Ron in his eyes.
From that moment, both their foreheads were so close that Ron could easily kiss those soft lips that he's been waiting and needing to have for months. Ron then leaned in and they shared a kiss. He felt like it was their very first kiss, breathtaking, blissful, and passionate. While they were kissing, rain drops immediately fell from the sky. Of course this would happen Ron thought.
Hermione backed away and said "I think we should get inside before we get soaked!" It was already down pouring and they were already soaked. They both took hands and ran inside. They opened the door and stood there just looking into each other's eyes. Ron pulled away this time but Hermione grabbed his arm. They both were face to face again and Hermione said "Thank you so much Ronald, for everything. This has been the most perfect birthday I could ask for. I know what happened to us and I have missed you as well." Hermione took her hand and touched Ron's wet face. "Without you, I don't know where I would be today; you have given me life, love, and a wonderful family. I am absolutely grateful for that. What happened in the past is in the past. Let's forget everything and continue on with our lives. I love you with all my heart Ronald Weasley."
Hermione pressed her lips against Ron's and they kissed with desperation. Ron realized its been months since they last shared their first kiss and gave her all he's got. They moved from the door to the living room couch and Ron laid her down. They kissed with passion and it was a long and loving kiss. It was a needed kiss after their long months of separation. They both moaned with excitement and Ron got up and carried Hermione bridal style. They headed up the stairs and Ron pushed her against the wall. Hermione then started to unbutton Ron's shirt one by one but Ron didn't hesitate to help. They did so without breaking the kiss. Ron threw his shirt down the stairs and Ron carried Hermione up the stairs and continued upstairs to their bedroom.
Ron and Hermione reached their bedroom and Ron laid her down on the bed. Doing so, Ron grabbed the zipper behind Hermione's back and pulled it down. He then was able to take off her dress and she was now in her undergarments. Hermione kicked off her stilettos and she helped Ron take off his dress pants. Ron touched Hermione's back and kissed her deeply with tongue. Soon Hermione's undergarments were off and she was naked. Hermione then helped Ron take off his underwear and he was too naked. Ron readjusted Hermione and began to kiss her neck while Hermione moaned with pleasure. Ron couldn't wait any longer. He continued to kiss Hermione and opened her legs. He then thrust inside of her and they both moaned with satisfaction. Ron continued to push into her and soon began a rhythm. Hermione and Ron were soon sticky from sweat and lust.
They had reconnected their love and were reunited again. 8 months had been long enough for separation and they made love throughout the night.
