Chapter 9: Hermione and Ron
Hermione walked into the sitting room and saw Ron looking out the window. She went over beside him and she put his arm around her waist.
"What are you looking at?" she inquired.
"Those two snogging," he answered.
Hermione looked out and said Harry and Ginny on the bench, and slapped Ron playfully.
"Shame on you Ron! Spying on them!"
Ron chuckled, "They would do the same!"
"Would not!" she protested.
"Want to bet on that?" he asked.
Before she could answer he grabbed her around the waist and picked her up. She laughed as he spun her around before setting her on the couch. He sat down next to her and kissed her. Hermione ran her fingers through Ron's red hair and he held her in both of his arms.
He broke it and looked into her eyes, "I love you Hermione."
Hermione's expression turned to a soft and gentle one. She looked ready to cry when she broke into a smile and answered back.
"I love you to Ron Weasley."
Then she swooped in and planted another kiss on him. This time he tickled her lips with his tongue causing her to giggle. They both jumped a mile when they heard voices.
"We can't leave you alone for a minute can we?"
Hermione gasped clutching her chest, "Ginny! Harry! Don't scare us like that!"
Ron stretched out his hand in front of Hermione. She eyed him confused.
"What?"
"They were spying on us…you lost the bet."
She laughed as she threw a pillow at him, which caused everyone else to laugh as well.
"You look brighter Ginny, are you feeling better?" Hermione asked.
"Yes" she answered hugging Harry, "Much better."
