Chapter Eight: Olive Branch

Ron and Hermione had been back for over a week. This meant that Draco Malfoy's trial had been and gone. Malfoy had been sentenced to six months house arrest and had had his wand confiscated by the Ministry and once his house arrest was over, he would receive it back. Draco had gone back to Malfoy Manor alone. His mother visited him every day as she was staying at Potter Manor with Snape until he had his own trial.

Hermione's parents had returned to work and she and Ron were staying with them for a while. They were alone in the house and Hermione was in a very familiar position. She was dressed in her Hogwarts uniform and was over her husband's knee. Her skirt had been pulled up, her knickers pulled down to her knees and her hands tied behind her back as Ron's hand was coming down on to her bare arse very hard, and she was sobbing and howling.

'OWWWWWWW!' she howled as Ron delivered her punishment.

SMACK! SMACK! SMACK! SMACK! SMACK! SMACK!

'OWWWWWWW, PLEASESIR!' she sobbed as she could feel her arse becoming hot.

'Miss Granger, stealing Boomslang Skin from your teacher is wrong and you deserve to be punished,' said Ron in a commanding voice that always turned Hermione on as he continued with her "punishment".

SMACK! SMACK! SMACK! SMACK! SMACK! SMACK!

'OWWWWWWWWWWWW, YES, SIR, I'M SORRY, SIR!'

'Not yet you aren't,' he said as he paused to pick up the hairbrush.

'No, please, not the brush, Sir,' she pleaded.

Ron ignored her pleas and began to bring the brush down on to her stinging red-hot arse.

CRACK! CRACK! CRACK! CRACK! CRACK! CRACK!

'OWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW, ITHURTSPLEASESIR!' she cried as arse was starting to burn.

CRACK! CRACK! CRACK! CRACK! CRACK! CRACK!

'OWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW, PLEASEITHURTS!'

CRACK! CRACK! CRACK! CRACK! CRACK! CRACK!

'OWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW, PLEASE NO MORE SIR!'

'We're just getting started. Now, Miss Granger, time to tan those little thighs of yours,' said Ron.

'No, please, Sir, not there, please!' she begged.

Ron ignored her begging and proceeded to use the brush on the back of her thighs, striking both of her thighs in turn, right then left.

CRACK! CRACK! CRACK! CRACK! CRACK! CRACK!

'OWWWWWWWWWW, OWWWWWWWW! IT BURNS! IT BURNS!'

'Of course it burns, Miss Granger, this is a punishment for all of your indiscretions,' said Ron.

CRACK! CRACK! CRACK! CRACK! CRACK! CRACK!

'OWWWWWWWWWWWWW, PLEASESIRNOMOREWITHTHEBRUSH! PLEASE, SIR!' she howled as tears poured down her face.

'You are being punished, Miss Granger, and the waterworks won't get you out of it,' he said, 'this is not just for stealing, but for going off on your own while a deadly monster was on the loose around the castle and getting yourself hurt.'

CRACK! CRACK! CRACK! CRACK! CRACK! CRACK!

'OWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW, I'M SORRY, SIR! SO SORRY, PLEASE! I'LL BE GOOD, SIR!' she howled, wondering if she'd ever sit again.

Ron stopped and pulled her knickers up over the red marks, making her wince, before he tugged Hermione off of his knee and pushed her into the corner, pressing her nose right into it, before untying her hands and placing them on her head and said, 'You will stand there and think about all of your wrongdoings, Miss Granger, and wait. We aren't done yet, and don't even think about rubbing, or you'll be even more sorry than you already are.'

'Yes, Sir,' she sobbed.

Ron went out of the room for a few moments as Hermione obeyed his command. She did not dare rub her arse or the back of her thighs for then she would be in real trouble as she started to tremble slightly.

Ron came back into the room and roughly took Hermione by the arm and bent her over her desk with her arms outstretched as she was made to grip the edge. He then lifted her grey skirt and tucked the hem into the waistline before tugging down her knickers once more.

Hermione looked behind her to see Ron holding a thin piece of birch wood.

'No, please, Sir, please don't use that, it hurts so much already …' she pleaded.

Ron said nothing as he admired his "handiwork".

'Please, Sir …' she said.

Ron then gave her the first twelve hits with the birch wood across her already red backside and the back of thighs as Hermione began to howl in pain again.

OWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW, PLEASE, SIR, IT HURTS, IT HURTS!' she howled as Ron used the birch wood.

'This is your punishment, Miss Granger, you broke the rules and now you have to deal with the consequences …' he said before giving her another twelve hits with the birch wood.

'OWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW, PLEASE, SIR, STOP, IT HURTS, PLEASE NO MORE, SIR!' she cried as she received her punishment.

Ron ignored her and gave her another twelve hits with the birch wood.

'OWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW, PLEASE, SIR, NO MORE, I'LL BE GOOD, I'LL BE A GOOD GIRL, SIR!'

Ron stopped and said, 'What did you just say, Miss Granger?'

Hermione took a few moments to get her breath back before saying, 'I said that I'll be good, I'll be a good girl, Sir.'

'Say it again, Miss Granger,' said Ron.

'I'll be good, I'll be a good girl, Sir,' she repeated.

'Good enough to let me fuck you, Hermione?' he asked, breaking character.

'Yes, Ron, please, fuck me …' she pleaded as she was so horny for him.

'Good enough to let me fuck you in the arse, Hermione?' he asked.

'Yes, please, Ron, just take me … anyway you want … fuck me, please …'

Ron threw the birch wood aside and took down his trousers and boxers in fell swoop before sheathing his rock hard cock into her dripping wet core making them both moan in appreciation.

Ron then gave it to her fast and hard over her desk as Hermione moaned loudly.

'OH, RON … YES … FUCK ME … GIVE IT TO ME … OH … OH … GOD … YES … OH, FUCK, RON … MORE … MMM … HARDER … FASTER, RON!

Ron continued to fuck her as he increased his tempo and said, 'You like it when I fuck you, Hermione …? Are you going to cum for me, Hermione?'

'YES … RON … YES, I'M GOING TO CUM … OH … GOD … YES … RON, I'M CUMMING … OH, OH, FUCK, ROOOOOONNNNNN!' she wailed his name to the stars as her orgasm wracked her body as Ron came hard with a loud yelling of her name.

When they had both recovered, Ron swept Hermione's hair away from her ear and whispered, 'That was incredible, my Goddess …'

Hermione smiled and said, 'Yes, it was … '

Ron kissed her below her earlobe and whispered, 'Did you mean it when you said I could fuck you in the arse?'

'Yes, do you want to, then?' she asked.

'Yeah, but only if you do … it's okay if you don't, I'll happily heal you with the salve and we can have a shower together …' he said gently.

'All right, let's do it, but if I don't like it …' she said.

'It never happens again, that's fine, my Angel,' he replied as he eased himself out of her pussy and slowly and as gently as possible into her arse.

'Are you all right?' he asked.

'Yes, I'm fine, you can move, Ron,' she told him.

Ron began slowly as Hermione moaned and whimpered before she told him to go faster and he did as he used his fingers to rub her clit.

'OH, RON … YES … MMM …' she moaned.

Ron rubbed her faster as he increased his tempo as he fucked her.

'OH, GOD, RON … OH, FUCK, THAT FEELS SO GOOD … MORE …'

Ron complied with his wife's command as she added her own fingers into her pussy.

'Yes, Hermione, touch yourself … you're so fucking sexy …' panted Ron.

'OH … OH … GOD … RON … I'M GOING TO CUM AGAIN … YES, OH, YES … OH, FUCK, RON, I'M CUMMING RIGHT NOW … OH, ROOOONNNN!'

Ron felt Hermione's orgasm rip through her body before he came in her arse and collapsed over her body, pressing her into the desk and peppering her ear, cheek and lips with kisses.

After a few minutes, Ron gently scooped Hermione up into his arms and carried her to the bathroom and stripped her and himself for a long, hot shower together, and when that was over, he dried them both off before carrying her back to her bed to hold her until her parents came home from work.

The next day Ron and Hermione went to Potter Manor. They saw that all of Ron's siblings were there and so they greeted them all. Harry then invited them to sit before he read them a letter.

'"Dear Ron, Hermione, Ginny and Harry,

I am writing to you all because after several extensive talks with your mother, she has realised that she was very wrong with how she reacted to the news of Ron and Hermione's marriage. She also feels absolutely dreadful for the way she behaved and spoke to you, Hermione. The things she said were dreadful and the way she acted was unforgivable. She is deeply sorry for her actions towards both, you, Ron, and you, Hermione.

Furthermore, she extends her deepest and most sincere apologies for the way she spoke to you, Harry – especially in your own home. She realises she was out of line and will do whatever it takes to make things right with all of you. Your mother is deeply ashamed and wishes for you, Ginny, to come home. She misses all of you very, very much, and could never stop loving you all if she tried.

We would both like for the four of you to come to the Burrow this Saturday so your mother can apologise properly and in person.

All my love,

Dad"' finished Harry.

Bill then stood up and said, 'This is something the four of you need to talk about, so we'll get out of your hair.'

Bill, Fleur, Charlie, Percy, Fred and George all left the room, leaving Ron, Hermione, Harry and Ginny alone.

'So, what do you think?' asked Harry.

Hermione looked at Ron and saw him thinking hard, before saying, 'It's obviously an Olive Branch and I think we should let her apologise to us. I just want her to like me again, and I miss the Burrow.'

'I agree, I love the Burrow and I miss Mrs Weasley's cooking,' said Harry.

'I guess I do sort of miss the Burrow, but I don't want to go there and stay. My home is with you, Harry,' said Ginny.

'I understand that, Ginny, but you must miss your mum?' said Harry.

'I do, but you're more important, Harry,' Ginny told him. 'I won't let anyone come between us ever again, not even mum.'

Harry gave her a kiss as Hermione said, 'Ron, what about you? What do you think?'

'Hermione, I don't know if I can. She hurt you so badly that day with her words and then she tried to slap you. I just don't know if I have it in me to forgive her. I don't have your compassion,' said Ron, 'but if you three want to go, that's fine, I understand.'

Harry was shocked to hear Ron say that. Ron was usually easy-going and fun. But the last year had obviously taken its toll on him. Malfoy Manor had probably been the worst experience of his life. Hearing his wife screaming as she was tortured mercilessly by a psychopath had changed him. He still loved Hermione more than anything in the world, but since that day, Harry noticed that Ron could not bear having Hermione leave his sight for a minute. Harry also knew that Ron was compassionate once upon a time. He knew this because Ron had forgiven him for the whole ordeal at Malfoy Manor, even though it had all been his fault.

Harry shared a look with Ginny and she nodded at him. They would go to the Burrow.

Hermione noticed the look Harry and Ginny shared and gave them a nod. Hermione would go to the Burrow.

Ron saw both exchanges and understood. He then picked up his father's letter and read it to himself. His father had written this letter, he thought to himself.

'All right, I'm coming too. But I'm doing it for dad, and I miss the Burrow,' said Ron.

Hermione gave Ron a kiss before they went outside for a romantic fly together on his Firebolt.
