I can't stop thinking about this. All those little hints and awkward moments referring to something happening between Ron and Hermione prior to DH are just too blatant for my little mind to get over. I do intend on constructing something more proper than a bunch of shorts and fluff, but I'm too buzzed and unable to concentrate on one, solid thing for the time being.
So here's some more of that gooey, embarrassing, teenage love from my Potter-verse…

I've always wondered about what exactly happened in the hospital wing…

Boggled.

"'Mione…" Ron groaned, eyes fluttering open, clutching Hermione's hand harder.

"I'm here, I'm here" she whispered smiling, grasping his hand back.

"What happened?" he asked, glancing around dazed,

"You were poisoned, not purposely, well, it's a long story… do you need anything? Water?" she offered, not sure of what to do.

"No, no… but…" he started, looking at her with a sense of purpose and concentration, "yes?" she urged, "I really don't like Lavender." He said with the most serious of expressions, prompting Hermione to laugh uncontrollably.

"I know, I don't think you have to worry about her now" she managed to say through the laughter.

"Good, 'cos I don't! Or that Vane girl" he nodded, his expression still as serious, it was then that Madame Pomfrey peeked around the curtain surrounding his bed,

"Ah, I see you're awake Mr Weasley," she said, fully moving around the fabric wall, to his unoccupied side,

"Now, I just need you to take this," she added, producing a bottle of medicine Hermione didn't care to recognise, and a small spoon, pouring a measure and feeding it to Ron.

"Now, I'll be off to bed, and pretend I never saw you still in here after hours Miss Granger," she said rounding the curtain once more, nodding curtly at her,

"oh, and I must add, this medicine might cause him to act a bit, well, you'll see… goodnight" the nurse added as she walked down the wing to her room, "Goodnight" Hermione replied, confused.

"How are you feeling?" she asked, turning her attention back to Ron,

"Uhm… fine, better" he said, smiling dreamily at her, "you should know, Hermione… it's always you" he said, grinning.

"It's me what?" she asked, puzzled.

"I didn't mean it with Lavender, and the daft necklace and-and "Won-Won", it's not her it's you. You're brilliant." He beamed at her unashamedly, by this time Hermione was nearing crimson,

"Shush Ronald. You're just… you're just… boggled, that's all, and it's that medicine, are you sure you don't want any water? Or sleep?" she replied hurriedly now an insulting shade of red.

"Maybe some sleep, yeah. But not boggled, you are brilliant… Please…" he was struggling to finish as he got drowsier, "Please, what?" she asked, unsure of where this was going, "Please don't go out with Mclaggen again…" he finished as he drifted off to sleep.

"I won't" Hermione laughed.

I had to slip in the Mclaggen thing, because you just know that wound Ron up...

Today's the day I'll be seeing DH Part 2 for the first time after avoiding it. I don't think I'll be disappointed, but I know I'll be heartbroken! Ican't believe it's over! :(

Anyhow, I'll be updating this in dribs and drabs, so stay tuned...
