WHO: Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger
WHEN: (11/13/97) Thursday evening, after dinner
WHERE: Gryffindor Common Room
SUMMARY: Hermione helps Ron catch up with classes but he's distracted. And then... the moment we've all been waiting for.
RATING: PG-13?
STATUS: Complete



Ever since the ball, Ron had been having a harder time than usual concentrating in classes and it was Hermione's fault. Well, okay, not intentionally but it was still because of her. Tensions were running high and he was finding it harder and harder to keep his feelings for her a secret. She was becoming a bigger distraction to him than usual lately. He found himself staring at her quite often and wondering if some kind of big, daring, chivalrous act would make up for the fact that he wasn't nearly good enough for her. Just sitting next to her in classes was driving him mad and then he had gotten sick and missed several days and that didn't help him either.

He was glad she had agreed to help him catch up--he probably wouldn't be able to do it without her--but he wondered how on earth he was going to concentrate on schoolwork with everything he was thinking about her floating around in his head.

Grabbing his textbooks, parchment and quills, he took a deep breath and bounded down the dormitory stairs to the common room. Spotting a free couch with a table for their books, he snatched it quickly and sat staring into the fire as he waited for Hermione to arrive.

Ron's smile widened, if that was even possible, when she reassured him that it was, in fact, him that she loved. He'd never tire of hearing those words from her. Just hearing her say it alone made him feel like he was flying without a broom.

But, when he mentioned his essay and pulled away from him to remind him to complete it, he practically gaped at her, mouth hanging slightly open. "You can't be serious." He said to her, closing the distance so they were standing close again. "After everything that just happened, all the years of tension, the things we just said and did... you want me to sit down and write my essay?" He was in disbelief. He could barely open up a book right now let alone read one and write something about it.

"Hermione, the essay can wait until tomorrow." He told her softly, pleadingly. He just wanted to be there with her right now. Not worry about homework. "This, you, are far more important."

Of course she wanted him to sit down and finish his essay. She was Hermione Granger, after all, and even if they had just confessed their feelings, their schoolwork was still one of the most important things. But she could logically see his point. If his concentration had been barely there before, knowing Ron, it would be completely nonexistent now.

Her reluctance to agree was there and she really wanted to insist that he get it done early; he'd be done with it if he just sat down for an hour and wrote on it. Sighing finally, she nodded. "Fine, but you really have to do it tomorrow, Ron. Otherwise you'll keep putting it off and won't have the time or the motivation to complete it after that." She knew him.

"Deal!" He agreed instantly, grinning broadly at her. He took her hand and pulled her over to the couch, pushing their books and papers out of the way so they could sit comfortably together. He wanted to wrap his arms around her but he wasn't sure how she felt about the whole public affection thing. And he wasn't about to test his boundaries this early in their relationship and after the huge public display of affection that had just taken place.

"Tomorrow after classes I'll get right on it, promise." He said, smiling at her as they sat side by side, only connecting at the hands where Ron was holding hers tightly. He'd never had the nerve to try and touch her like this before, never really had the right, and now that he did, he wasn't letting go.
