Hello everyone. I am so sorry it took me so long for me to post this, I have been really busy and it has been difficult to write. I hope you do not get angry with me and continue reading. I will try to post more often if I can.

Disclaimer: I don't think it is necessary for me to say I do not own Harry Potter *sniff*, as it is quite obvious. It all belongs to our goddess J. K. Rowling ;)

Enjoy!

Fact 6: Ron always keeps the Deluminator in his pocket, just in case. He knows that Hermione will always be able to call upon him.

Ron's P.O.V:

Ron was awaken by the sound of his alarm. Not wanting to wake Hermione, he took his wand from the nightstand and tapped the clock, making the noise stop. He was about to go to sleep again when he remembered what day it was. Today he was going on an auror mission with Harry and two more colleagues for four weeks. Their superior had told them that they would be living as muggles in Glasgow trying to locate some Death Eaters who were still causing trouble, even though Voldemort had fallen nearly three years ago.

Last night he had decided he would wake up early in order to surprise Hermione with breakfast on the bed, trying to make up for his absence the following four weeks. He got out of bed silently and headed towards the kitchen, where he started to cook. He prepared some French toast - Hermione's favourite – and scrambled eggs and fried eight strings of bacon and two sausages. When everything was placed neatly on a tray, he started moving towards their bedroom.

Now, part two of his plan was a little bit trickier. Hermione was currently in a delicate state with work. She was part of the department of Control and Regulation of Magical Creatures, fighting for house elves rights. Basing on what she had told Ron, most of her co-workers agreed with S.P.E.W but of course, there were some purebloods families who were trying to destroy her project. Because of that, she had been acting quite moody when she was home, especially in the mornings, so now Ron was left with the not easy task of waking her up with enough subtlety for her not to spat at him for waking her up too early or not respecting her sleeping hours.

With a lot of care, he laid down next to Hermione – leaving the tray on his nightstand – and snuggled her close. This didn't wake her up so he planted a kiss on her forehead. She still had her eyes closed, so he kissed her chastely on the lips, receiving the reaction he had been waiting for. She snuggled close to him and opened her eyes, tilting her head upward so she could see his face.

"Morning, sleep well?" Ron asked softly. He most certainly didn't want to leave while she was angry at him – as that was what happened last time and he hadn't been concentrating at all, which earned him some extra work – so he was trying to act very sweet around her just in case.

"Yeah…" Hermione answered, yawning. "But just because I had you with me, and now you are leaving for one month…" Oh no, not the puppy face please he thought as Hermione gave him a look she knew he couldn't resist, but he had to be strong.

"I know, but I need to do this, it is my job remember?" Ron said. This time he avoided looking directly at her when he spoke, afraid she would be able to convince him to stay, although deep down he knew she would never do it unless it was completely necessary.

"By the way, I made you breakfast, French toast with scrambled eggs, bacon and sausages." He was trying to change the conversation into something more cheerful than leaving, luckily for him, his plan kind of worked.

"Hoping this will make up for you absence eh? Well you didn't need to, I know this job is what you like doing and as long as you come back to me, I am okay with it." Hermione answered, trying to get up. Ron though, was doing his best to keep her close to him, or at least to avoid her leaving the bed, as breakfast was right there with them.

"Ron! Please let me go, breakfast remember?" She screamed. She was starting to get angry and Ron knew better than to let her temper rise, so he released her, but not after letting her know where the breakfast was. At that statement, she put herself in a sitting position and Ron followed. He took the tray of food from the nightstand and put it on both their laps.

"Thank you, I'll miss you." Hermione said as she ate her scrambled eggs.

"I know, I will too. But just think about our future when you feel lonely okay? Think about how ruggedly handsome I will be at our wedding." Joked Ron. This earned him a playful smack on the shoulder followed by a very unHermione-ish giggle

"Oi! What did I do to you? I only said the truth" He chuckled. Wanting to make her laugh again, he yawned, stretched and put an arm around her shoulders.

"You have reduced yourself to muggle flirting technique huh?" Hermione teased recognising the action from the movies she had made him watch on some Saturday nights. "Now who is the one paying attention to the romance muggles movies?"

"Just getting into character. I need to live as a muggle for a month, may as well learn how to act like one around my lady" Ron replied smirking. They went into a comfortable silence while eating their breakfast until the watch Ron's parents had given him for his 17th birthday illuminated, announcing he had to get ready.

"Hmp… I have to get to the shower now. I'm sorry". Resisting Hermione's invitations to stay a little longer, Ron got up and headed towards the bathroom, where turned on the shower and got undressed. When he went inside, the freezing water came in touch with his skin and he gasped.

"'Mione!? Are you using water?!" He shouted.

"Yeah, the dishes are being cleaned! What about it?"

"Can you stop for a sec please? The water is freezing." Ron heard Hermione laugh and he didn't need to see her face to know there was a look of mischief in her eyes. Oh no, here comes revenge. He thought.

"I am sorry love but I have to practice this cleaning spell your mother taught me, and I need water you see? And I am sure you can resist a little bit of cold water, after all you are an auror." She said, laughing.

"Well, It serves me right" Ron muttered under his breath.

Fifteen minutes later, he was dressed and shaved. He checked his nose for dirt and got out of the bathroom. Hermione was in the living room, sitting on a couch immersed on a book. She was wearing one of his Chudley Cannons shirt and shorts. Her hair was pulled back in a messy bun, with some strands on the back of her ear.

"Don't you have to get ready?" Ron asked, making Hermione look up from her book.

"No, the head of the department said I worked too much and told me I could stay home today. I was hoping to read a little bit and then finish some paperwork I have from work. If I can I will think about what to say to the Notts about their elf demanding a galleon a month. They don't want to give it to her so she is doing her chores badly, I admire that elf." She responded, a frown appearing on her forehead. Ron, noticing that, decided to make her see what you were supposed to do on a holyday.

"Hermione, don't you think you should just relax today? You have been working a lot on this and you deserve this break. Plus you will be able to convince the Notts in about a second. And as an afterthought, if you continue to frown all the time you might get wrinkles sooner than you need to, you are just 21!" He added, joking. But Hermione's reaction was far from what he had expected. She put her book aside and stood up, eyes watery and a frown still present. When she was close to him, she stopped and pulled him into an embrace.

"I don't want you to leave Ron, you have never been in a mission this long and you said I couldn't send you letters, so I won't know anything about you for a long time" She muttered. Ron held her close, not wanting to let go. "And if I work a lot maybe I will be able to take my mind off you and not worry as much."

Ron hesitantly let go, putting his hands on her shoulders. "'Mione, I hate this as much as you do, believe me, but this are things I have to do once in a while. It's like when you have to go to another country to talk about your projects to other people." He sighted, but then remembered something. Dear Dumbledore, I owe you so much he though as he reached his pocked, taking the Deluminator out. "You remember this?" He asked Hermione.

"The Deluminator… I didn't know you still had it" She said slowly.

"Well, you still have your book why shouldn't I have kept this?" Hermione smiled a little bit, but the smile soon disappeared from her face. "Look, if you really need me just say my name okay? This is how I found you during the hunt. Your voice, remember? Because you needed me. I have had this in my pocked ever since, because I know you will always be able to call upon me." He embraced her again and when they parted Hermione kissed him lovingly, expressing her worries through the kiss. Ron responded back as softly, and they stayed like this for a while until Ron's watched illuminated again.

"Damn watch, might as well get its light with the Deluminator" Ron said as they parted.

"Don't swear Ron, besides it was a gift from your parents, you should be grateful for it"

"Yeah… well, I don't like it when it interrupts." He said under his breath. Luckily for him, Hermione hadn't heard that, so instead of getting angry she hugged him again.

"I will miss you" She said

"I know, I will too. Just remember, say my name if you really need to, and I will find a way to tell you I am fine. Don't worry, I will be alright." She still had a sad expression on her face when they parted. "Hey, we managed one year on the run with nothing more than your mushrooms as food while every single death eater was looking for us. I think I can survive living as a muggle, don't you?" This made her chuckle a little so he was satisfied.

"Goodbye, stay safe." She said after kissing him one more time.

"Always" And he left, only this time it hadn't been after a row, and none of them would be crying. This time both of them knew, he would be coming back.
