As Ron's visibility was restored, the atmosphere in Hogwarts shifted. Students and professors alike were left stunned and bewildered by the revelation that they had forgotten Ron Weasley. Feelings of guilt and shame washed over them, especially Harry and Hermione, who had shared countless adventures with Ron.
However, Ron was quick to reassure them all. "It wasn't your fault," he said, his voice filled with understanding. "The Fidelius Charm was powerful, and it affected everyone's memory. I hold no grudges against any of you."
Harry and Hermione exchanged grateful glances, their remorse slowly fading as they realized Ron's forgiving nature. The professors, too, felt a sense of shame but were also immensely proud of Ron's resilience and Daphne's cleverness in unraveling the mystery.
Amidst the whispers and murmurs, Ron found himself drawn to Daphne, the one person who had stood by his side throughout this ordeal. His heart raced as he looked into her eyes, seeing a reflection of the admiration and affection he felt for her.
In that moment, the air crackled with an electric tension, and the world seemed to fade away. Ron's gaze flickered to Daphne's lips, his desire for her overwhelming his senses. Without hesitation, he leaned in, capturing her lips in a passionate kiss.
Whistles and cheers erupted from the surrounding students, their applause echoing through the halls. But in that stolen moment, Ron and Daphne were oblivious to the world around them, lost in the intensity of their connection.
When they finally pulled away, breathless and flushed, they were met with a chorus of laughter and teasing. Blushing, Ron took Daphne's hand, facing the crowd with a sheepish grin.
"Well," he said, his voice filled with a mix of amusement and embarrassment, "I guess that's one way to make an entrance."
