Hermione P.O.V
"Yeah it will be. Have fun Professor, see you at dinner." She giggled and rushed upstairs before I could say anything.
Damnit.
This is gonna be quite the year.
I walked back to my classroom, taking in the beautiful weather as I did so. I decided to take an alternate route in order to escape seeing Ron again.
Once I saw him, all those feelings came flooding back. My breathing became more ragged, I became suddenly very nervous, and my stomach felt funny…almost like I wanted to throw up.
I shook my head and proceeded teaching the rest of my classes.
After my final class of the day, I decided to sit and start planning out next week's lesson. After about an hour of working, I looked up to see it was already time for dinner.
Well whoop-di-do.
I made my way towards the hall and took my seat on the right side of Mcgonagall. She turned and smiled at me as the hall quickly filled with students and the rest of the teachers.
"Welcome students, to Hogwarts…" Mcgonagall started and I zoned out. She'd given the same speech, minus some talk about the war, during my 7th year.
"Hey, sorry I'm late." I heard a harsh whisper and turned to my left to find Ron sitting next to me. Goodness he looked nice. He had on jeans and a white polo…not exactly teacher clothing…but whatever I guess.
"It's about time Ronald. Do you plan on being late all the time?" I whispered back. He turned to face me and smiled.
"No Hermione don't worry, I'll be on time I promise." I gave him a slight glare and turned to the food that was now sitting on the table.
"Alright!" I heard Ron exclaim and I smiled. He really hasn't changed.
After eating a plate full of food, I turned to find Ron still eating.
Pig.
"You really never stop eating, do you Ron?" I laughed and watched as he laughed too.
"I'm hungry 'Mione." He wiped his mouth and finished off his plate. I looked around the Great Hall at all the young faces and I found none other than Selena Collings staring at me, a wicked grin on her face. She winked at me and went back to her friends. I lightly blushed and excused myself.
"Ms. Granger." I turned around to find McGonagall coming after me. I stopped and waited for her just outside the hall.
"It's so nice to see you Ms. Granger. I trust everything's going well?" She asked and smiled.
"Yes thank you professor it is. And it is always great to see you." I returned the smile. I really liked her, she was one of my favorites when I went to school.
"I see you have found out about Mr. Weasley. You know Ms. Granger, it's never too late to re-discover magic." She winked at me and walked off. Oh great even she's trying to get me and Ron back together. Ugh.
As I walked to my room, I remembered how after my break-up with Ron, McGonagall was actually one of the people to be near me and help me along with Luna and mostly Ginny. As weird as it sounds, she did help me a lot. We've grown a special bond, and having her as Headmaster is definitely an advantage for me on a personal level.
I got to my room and whipped up a cup of tea, while fetching my copy of Hogwarts: A History.
After getting through about thirty pages, I heard a knock at the door. I took my wand and slowly opened the door.
"Are you going mental? Open the damn thing." I heard Ron and opened the door. He was there with all his stuff.
"Can I help you?" I curiously asked and watched as he walked in.
"I just got here today, and I haven't really been given a room yet. Mind if I stay here for a bit?" He asked and dropped his things.
Well might as well, the boy already seems like he's settled.
"Alright, but you get the couch." I responded and went back to my book. I heard him walking, but I was too into my reading to care about what he was doing.
"Bloody hell Hermione, how many times have you read that damn thing?" I jumped in my chair and dropped my book.
"Damnit Ron! Does it matter? I like it." I bent down to pick up the book and a few papers that flew out of it. After placing the papers back in the book, I turned to find him staring at me.
"Does my backside intrigue you Ronald?" I smirked and put my book down.
"Huh? W-What? Oh umm…I was just erm…you got a shower?" He nervously rubbed the back of his neck and the tips of his ears went red.
"It's on the right. Don't be long, I have to take one as well." I told him and watched as he stumbled to gather his things. Once he had shut the bathroom door, I let my thoughts wander.
He's here, in my room…my goodness.
He was staring at my ass! What else would he be staring at, my neck?
I blushed and decided to finish my tea.
While staring at the empty bottom of my cup, it reminded me of the emptiness I felt when Ron left me. I mean, he had told me he always wanted to be a member of the Cannons, but was I actually supposed to believe him? I remember he owled me one day and told me he was given the spot of keeper on the Cannons. I told him I was happy, but that he should focus more on a job that would require more mental work, like an Auror or something Ministry related. I also told him that way we could be together without him traveling so much.
I remember the fight, how he said I should be happy for him…
I was I swear! But the thought of losing him scared me so much that I ended up pushing him away more.
I wiped a tear from my face and took a deep breath.
But, that's done. I'd rather not think about the past.
I heard the bathroom door click, and watched as he emerged, all clean and new.
"I hope you don't mind 'Mione, you know I only sleep with boxers." He blushed and I smiled.
"No worries Ron. I'll be in the shower." I gathered my things and shut the door.
Holy. Merlin.
Ronald Weasley was no longer a boy.
Heavens no.
He had broad shoulders, and a six pack to accompany that nice ass of his.
His biceps were massive, and his legs were strong as an ox.
Why do they always get sexier AFTER the breakup?
Damnit.
I took a quick shower and put on a pair of short-shorts and a tight v-neck t-shirt.
Not the smartest PJ's to pack now that I look at my situation.
I crept out of the bathroom and cautiously made my way upstairs to my bed.
After checking both left and right for a sign of him, I walked to my bed and lifted the covers.
"I like your outfit." I turned to find Ron, sprawled out on the couch with a blanket and pillow. I blushed and hurried under the covers.
I waved my wand and the lights went out.
"Goodnight 'Mione." I could see him smiling in the dark.
"Goodnight Ron." I sighed and turned so that my back was facing him.
The fact that he still uses my old nickname drives me crazy. I mean, how could he still remember it?
It made me feel special.
Damnit Granger stop it!
I hate being a thinker.
