When Hermione and Ron finally did get up Hermione was the first to open her eyes. She felt much better, she was glad Ron was here and she was sure he could just stay here the rest of the semester and she would be fine with it. Hermione turned over thinking she would wake him but she didn't he adjusted his arm to wrap around her once again and she smiled. He was so peaceful. "Ron we need to wake up." Hermione whispered. Ron shuffled tuning away from her still asleep contently. Hermione couldn't help but laugh. "Ron, we really need to wake up." Hermione says slightly shaking his body. Ron flipped over once again pulling Hermione to him and squeezing her close to him. "RON, WE HAVE TO GO!" Hermione yelled. Ron finally opened his eyes blinked a few times before realizing where he was and who he was with, then smiled and kissed Hermione. "We're going to be very late to breakfast." Hermione stated. Ron didn't want to miss breakfast so he quickly grabbed his clothes and changed while Hermione went to the bathroom for the quickest shower of her life.
Hermione and Ron held hands at they got to the great hall. They went to the table and sat down by Harry and Ginny. They all seemed to have a relaxed look in their face and It was the least stressed they have all been since ever coming to Hogwarts. This was there year, this was the year of change and the year of happiness.
It had been two weeks since they switched rooms for the first time. They had all talked and decided that after this weekend that they would try a weekday test to see if they could actually handle it. It was near time for their first big test so they all decided to go to Hermione and Ginny's room to study.
"What are the four ingredients needed to make bigly iggly potion ?" Hermione ask as all the others wrote down the answer. Ginny took the book from Hermione read the next paragraph of the book and asked "If you can't find moss from an oak tree for the Leestess potion what other moss will work." Then the other three wrote down there answer. The book went around like this until one chapter was done then they reviewed their answers. Ron groaned "I'm done studying." "Me too." Harry replied. "Fine we'll take a 20 minute study break Hermione answered."
Hermione and Ginny talked about the new professor Ben Delieno. He was really good looking and young and an amazing teacher. He was teaching a new class offered about living on your own after Hogwarts getting your first job and such. It wasn't really a class as much as an information time. Many times he would let you study or take off back to the dormitory considering they were all 7th years. He was still getting to know them but they knew many topics were coming up right now they were talking about life skills like banking and applications for jobs. They knew they'd talk about housing, higher education like healer training. He even said that they would talk about relationship issues. "If only I wasn't already seeing Harry." Ginny said half-jokingly. The girls looked over to see if the boys had any response but they were caught up in their own conversation. The girls continued to laugh about their fantasies of Professor Delieno who insisted they all called him Ben.
The guys were talking about the girls. "Harry I get so confused by Hermione sometimes she says one thing and means the exact opposite." "I know what you mean Ginny says she wants to go to out but then when the time comes to go she just wants to stay in." "That's really odd she's always the one who wants to go at least to the field or go play on her broom. She has been acting a little strange lately." Ron said. "I know Ron I think she just needs to figure some things out." Ron just nodded, he thought Ginny was just worried about the upcoming tests so he didn't question Harry and went on to talking about Snape's class. "You know Snape changed so much after the war. I think once Voldermort died he moved on." Ron said. "I know he was so amazing during the battle." Harry said. Snape was really a changed man. He was nicer to everyone except maybe the first years. He was helpful and rarely yelled when a mistake was made. To top that off he had only taken points away when homework wasn't done. He was trying and Harry and Ron could see that. Even Hermione mentioned how great his class was." Do you think that the new first year professor, uh what is her name has a thing going on I saw then walking the halls alone the other night." Harry ask. "Oh the blonde that sits by him at every meal. Uh I think her name is Salentria Barry. Yeah they are defiantly sleeping together." Ron said smugly.
"Alright let's just finish this." Hermione said loudly. The boys looked up and just wanted to get through the next few hours so they could go back to their room and sleep well before the test.
The next morning everyone was last minute studying for their tests they had, Snape had been really great but they knew his tests would still be the same. The group went to breakfast then off to class they took the test and enjoyed the relief that came with taking the test. The last class for Ron and Hermione came and they headed back up the stairs to Ginny and Hermione's room. "Merlin today has been long!" Ron said. "I know Hermione said as she flopped onto her bed and closed her eyes. "Why don't we do our weekday test tonight?" Hermione ask. "Mione, I just got done with a test . . .OH you mean staying in each other's room, now that's a test I can pass." Ron joked. "Don't be so sure of yourself Mr. Weasley." Hermione laughed. The two discussed break even though classes had just begun less than a month ago, they knew how great their last year was going to be.
Ginny grabbed Harry's arm and pulled him into her room only half surprised that Ron and Hermione were both there playing a game of chess. "I hate you guys get out early." Ginny said. "You and Harry get to sleep in it's not like breakfast is mandatory, I don't see you guys most mornings except asleep!" Hermione laughed. "Do you want to stay with Harry tonight?" Ron ask. "Of course!" Ginny answered. She got her things and Ron went to get hers leaving Harry and Hermione in the room alone.
"I don't remember the last time it was just you and me." Hermione said. "During the war." Harry answered more shaky than he meant to thinking about when Ron had left, he was angry at first but Ron saved his life and he loved him so he got over it quickly. "Are you and Ginny really doing okay?" Hermione ask. "We're doing fine I think we all need to have our alone time though an I don't mean as a couple I mean as individuals I can tell she needs that, as do I." harry said. "Me too." Hermione confessed. "Well this weekend we should have alone time. Maybe use the Room of requirement make in to four sectioned off spaces. Harry decided. "I agree I love the Room of Requirement it a shame we don't use it more often." Hermione answered. "I wonder who else uses it." "Hard to tell" Harry replied.
"So brother I find that it is always you and Hermione arranging these sleepovers, something Hermione hasn't told me yet?" Ginny ask. "If you think that Hermione and I are having sex we aren't, yet. She is the one who has mentioned it not I, not that I'm complaining, I just don't like thinking that you and Harry are doing who knows what up here." Ron answered. She would be lying if she didn't feel a pang hit her chest. She knew her brother didn't see her as a whore, but the way he said made her feel that way. She also thought about the farthest she went with Harry was the night she freaked out at him. The last few weekends just involved sleeping. From what Hermione said heavy lip locking and feeling around was about it for Hermione and Ron. This weekend though she wanted to change her situation with Harry, and she hadn't even told Hermione hopefully on Friday afternoon they could just get some girl talk in. Ginny left her bag of things in Harry and Ron's room then waited for him to finish packing as they went back to her room.
The evening was fast approaching and the couples went their separate ways from the common room they'd been inhabiting. When Hermione and Ron laid on her bed she smiled. She knew she was going to wake up with him, shower and get ready as he did the same but instead of lounging around and sleeping in they would awake early and go down hand in hand for breakfast. There would be more people out and about, than on the weekend, more ways to get caught with all the professors, in a way it was kind of sexy and she day dreamed about getting caught.
Ron turned over and looked into his eyes seeing her day dream. " Shouldn't you get out of your robes?" Ron ask. With this Hermione shook her head. She grabbed pajamas she was going to wear a cami that was low cut and matching shorts. She went to the bathroom to change. When she walked out she could see His eyes grow wide. She thought about what he must see all the scares all, imperfections that the war had given her including MUDBLOOD on her arm. 'He must think I look horrible, why did I even wear this/" She thought to herself. Before Ron could speak, before he could say how beautiful she looked Hermione ran out the door with tear in her eyes.
Ron was so confused and bolted out the door just as fast chasing after her down the stairs into the commons room, down the stairs all the to the first floor down a long hallway where she finally took a seat in the window seal bringing her knees to her chest and letting her tears stream. Ron caught to her two seconds later. "What the hell Hermione, are you okay?" Ron ask concerned " I SAW HOW YOU LOOKED AT ME LIKE I WAS A MONSTER." She didn't care who heard she just knew that at that moment Ron Weasley would never want to be with her.
