Seven Years
The Weasley's and Hermione sat around the dead form of Fred. He was really gone. They all felt their hearts break at the though of never seeing Fred again. He was their brother, their family.
After a few more minutes of solitude, Ron couldn't take anymore.
"Hermione, can I talk to you? Alone." Ron whispered in Hermione's ear, and she nodded. They silently stood up, and walked out of the Great Hall.
"What is it Ron?" Hermione asked quietly, as she whipped her tears.
"I… well… er…" Ron struggled with what he wanted to say.
"Yes, Ron?" Hermione prodded him.
"Well… about the kiss…" They both blushed, "Did you mean it?" Hermione blushed.
"Wasn't it obvious?" She asked timidly.
"Well, I didn't know… It was the battle… er… maybe, just incase something happened." Ron stuttered. Hermione reached up and gently kissed him.
"I've fancied you for a long time." She whispered when she pulled back.
"Me too." He whispered. "I'm sorry I left. I know I already apologized, but I needed to again."
"And I forgive you." She kissed him again.
"Lots of things are going to change." Hermione stated.
"Yes, but this will be a nice change." Ron gestured between them. "Will you be my girlfriend?"
"Of course." She took his hand. "Let's go."

A/N- Sorry it's a day late, but I had no time. (Super Bowl Sunday!) and no good ideas. I have a HARD time with R/Her, so I knew this would be difficult. Any who, today's chapter should be up momentarily.
