Hermione actually laughed at that, knowing that Ron could take her in a physical fight with an ease that she'd never really be able to have. Hermione had always been healthy, but not really strong. Not really.
It was hard to remember that she was not a couple with Ronald when he said sweet things like that. She hadn't moved her fist from his hand still, just looking at it and then him. "Well. You could always throw me over your shoulder, but I might burn a few of your meals for that," Hermione said, not looking back up at him. "But that would be nice. If we left together, it's practical. Maybe I'll even have a drink then," she said, knowing fully that it wouldn't happen. Hermione liked wine, sure. But she drank in very small amounts.
