They walked down the stairs to the restaurant. Both were very excited to go on their first real date. As they sat at the table, Ron was unsure of what to order. He had not heard of most of the stuff on the menu.

"Hermione, what's calamari?" Ron asked.

"It's octopus, Ron."

"No way I'm bloody eating that,"

"Please Ron language. Besides it's not that bad," Hermione stated matter-of-factly.

"Okay. I want to see you eat it then." This comment made Hermione laugh. They waited a few minutes for the waiter to arrive.

"What'll it be miss?" The waiter asked.

"Oh I'll have the calamari," she said trying to stifle a laugh.

"I'll have the same." Ron was biting his lip so he wouldn't laugh either.

"Ron," Hermione said as the waiter left, "I though you said you would never eat octopus."

"I changed my mind. I thought if you could eat it, then so can I. I can be brave you know."

They sat and made small talk. Both were having so much fun and didn't want the evening to end. Around a half-an hour later, the calamari arrived. Hermione was very excited to see Ron's reaction to it.

"Hermione. This doesn't look like octopus!"

"Ron are you complaining? Of course it doesn't look like octopus; they've cooked it. What did you expect; it to still be moving?"

"Maybe," Ron admitted while blushing. He placed a small amount of calamari on his fork.

"Mhmm," Ron said as he put the fork in his mouth, "this is delicious!"

"If only you listened to me more often," Hermione quipped.

"Ron I had such a great time," Hermione said as they walked back to the room.

"Me too. I'm so glad we did this," he whispered.

Their lips moved closer and closer until they met. In those moments, Ron and Hermione felt closer than ever. No words were needed to describe how they felt for one another. It was pure bliss.

They went into the room and got ready for bed. Hermione was blushing as she lay beside Ron. This was something new for them. It took them a while to get comforable, but her head was on his chest as they dozed off to sleep.

A few hours later, Ron woke up to Hermione's screams. Ron was terrifed of what he heard come from his girlfriend. The only time he had heard her scream like that was- no he didn't want to think about that day. He tried to wake her up to end the horrifying screams.

"Hermione wake up! You're having a nightmare!" After a few moments Hermione tried to compose herself. Her face was pale white.

"Oh I'm sorry, Ron. I didn't mean to wake you," she said.

"What were you dreaming about?"

"It was nothing," Hermione said dismissively.

"Come on Hermione, I know you better than that. We're dating; we have to tell each other this sorta stuff now." He was not going back to sleep without an answer.

"I dreamed that we were back at Malfoy Manor," she explained, "She was torturing me again. Oh Ron it was terrible! I thought I was going to lose you forever!"

"Now look Hermione," he said as he wiped the tear from her face, "She's dead and they will never be able to hurt you again. I will always be here to keep you safe. Now go back to sleep and dream pleasant thoughts."

"Thanks Ron. That really helped." Hermione laid back down and closed her eyes.

For the first time in a while, Ron felt important. His girlfriend need him, and he would always be here to tell her everything was okay.
