"Ron! Hermione!" Mrs Weasley's voice rang through the house. "Harry's here!"
They broke apart, coming back down to reality.
"Harry?" Hermione said, bewildered.
Ron laughed. "Harry. Harry Potter. You know, the one who killed Voldemort and all? The one you've been friends with for seven years?"
Hermione shoved him. "I know, you little-"
Ron cut her short with a kiss.
Then he pulled her up off the floor. "Come on, you haven't seen him in an entire year either."
Then he spotted the book she had given him, which lay unnoticed and forgotten on the floor.
"Hey, the book you gave me! I didn't even look at it yet!"
Hermione laughed. "Oh, that. I'd forgotten about it."
Ron picked it up. He looked at the title, then at Hermione, and then back again.
"'The crazy things girls do: a wizard's guide to the female brain.' By Hermi-"
He gasped.
"Hermione, you didn't- bloody hell, it can't be- you can't have-"
"I did!" She burst out, grinning from ear to eat.
"Merlin!" He breathed. He looked at her name on the cover, written in gold.
"I can't believe you actually- and you didn't even tell me! Or anyone!"
"I wasn't sure if it was going to be published, and I didn't want to disappoint you, so I waited till now. I only received notice last week!"
Ron hugged her fiercely. "You are absolutely brilliant. I can't believe this-"
"Ronald! Hermione! Get down here!"
Hermione pulled Ron's arm. "Come on, we've got to go down. "
He followed her downstairs. "Blimey, I can't wait to see the look on everyone's face when they see this!"
