Who: Ron & Hermione
What: Their auction date
Where: Quidditch museum
When: Saturday, beginning at 6

Ron wasn't sure what had made him suggest going to the Quidditch museum on a date, except that it sounded like the kind of thing that both he and Hermione could reasonably enjoy. At first, he'd thought of taking her to play Quidditch, but something told him that would make the whole thing even more of a disaster than it already was. And then he'd remembered the museum, and Hermione's love for anything remotely resembling a library, and he figured he had nothing to lose by mentioning it. And to his surprise, Hermione did actually seem pleased by his choice, and he was completely puzzled as to how he was supposed to ever fall properly in love with this woman if he could never figure out when he was doing something right, and when he wasn't. He was completely shocked every time he did the right thing, and now was no exception.

But for now, at least, it seemed he could be confident that he was doing well. He'd been on time to pick her up, and they'd apparated to the museum, and were now standing just inside the entrance, tickets in hand, deciding which direction to head in first. Ron's cheeks were nearly as red as his hair, as he became certain that everyone nearby could tell they were on a date, and he became flustered by the mere thought. "Um. You pick," he was saying to Hermione. "You're good at making decisions like this."

	"Percy was right about one thing," Ron said. "I can't be a child forever. Right? Not that I was planning to. I just... wasn't planning anything. Floating, like I said." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Did Percy say that to you?" Maybe she'd been wrong about confronting Ron not doing anything. "I really think his heart is in the right place." She said, coming to Percy's defense a little. Hermione and Percy always seemed to get along. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"He came to my flat to yell at me," Ron said. "The usual thing with him. He knows best." He sighed. "I was nervous enough, he made it worse. And I don't know if he used the word child, but he definitely made me feel like one." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Hermione nodded. She knew that Percy had that tone... she knew that she had it sometimes, too. "Well, don't. I wouldn't date you if you were a child." She said, attempting at a joke to make him feel better. "Besides, you're getting your life together. It doesn't happen overnight." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"I hope not!" Ron laughed. "I mean, come on, we all know I've never been perfect," he said. "But I'm working on it. That counts, doesn't it?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	her_my_nee 2009-09-01 04:46 am UTC (link)
	"Absolutely." Hermione said, smirking a little and lifting her drink. "Come on, though," she said, lowering her glass again after a quick sip. "No one's perfect, Ron. You don't need to set your aim so high." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"You're pretty bloody close," Ron blurted. "And you know, a man has to be worthy, doesn't he?" He blushed, then sipped his beer to calm himself. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Hermione went scarlet. "I'm really not." She lifted her own beer to take a sip, finding her hand shaking just a little. "Do you... do you really think you're not worthy?" It was such a silly thing for him to say. Ron had always been worthy to her. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ex_roonilwaz163 2009-09-01 05:02 am UTC (link)
	Ron shrugged. "I don't know..." he said, looking away shyly. "I want you to think I'm worthy. And Percy... gave me more doubts than I already had..." He blushed a fierce red which rivaled the color of his hair. He was too shy to look at Hermione now, afraid he had revealed too much. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Hermione was gaping at him. How could he not know she thought him worthy? Then again, he had a bit of guilt after he came back during their year on the run... and it'd taken her longer than she liked to admit to forgive him. She tore her eyes from his face and brought them down to the table, inspecting the wood.

"I think you're worthy." She said, softly. "I always have."

	Ron blushed, also looking down, away from Hermione's eyes. It meant a lot to him - certainly more than he could articulate - that Hermione thought he was worthy, because he really respected her opinion on pretty much everything, and he knew if she had a high opinion of him, it was a true compliment. "Thanks," he mumbled. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"I think I'm ready to go home now." Hermione said. She finished the last of her beer. The next bit would be the best part. At least, that's what she was imagining. The goodnight kiss. The part they'd both been waiting for. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Ron nodded. "Alright," he said, and swallowed, his throat dry even though he'd just had a beer. "Sure." He felt the beads of sweat already forming between his fingers, making his palms feel slick. He was so nervous. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"We should probably apparate down the street and walk to my front door." She was assuming he was going to walk her home. Or even come in for a moment, if he wanted to. But, what if he didn't want to walk her home? Should they say good night here and go their separate ways? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ex_roonilwaz163 2009-09-08 01:13 am UTC (link)
	"Alright," Ron said agreeably. He wanted to walk her home because he wanted to feel like he'd done something on this date to properly demonstrate he wasn't a total waste, and that he might make an alright boyfriend, even if he was often awkward. "Shall we go now then?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	her_my_nee 2009-09-08 06:44 pm UTC (link)
	Hermione stood and reached out her hand to him. "Let's go." It only took a couple moments, and they'd apparated to Hermione's street. Her flat was a couple doors down from the safe apparation point. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Did I do alright for a first date?" Ron asked nervously, chuckling a bit as he walked with Hermione to her door. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Hermione turned to him, still holding his hand as they walked. She nodded. "Of course you did. It was lovely. Though, I knew you would." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ex_roonilwaz163 2009-09-24 11:38 pm UTC (link)
	"You did?" Ron asked. "How did you know that? I thought I'd make a giant mess, for sure!" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	her_my_nee 2009-09-25 12:24 am UTC (link)
	Hermione gave one of her classic looks. "Honestly. It's almost as if you have no confidence in yourself whatsoever." She turned to face him once they were at her doorstep. "You're Ron. I don't know why, but you're charming. You're one of my best friends, and I knew tonight would go swimmingly, almost no matter what." (Reply to this) (Parent)
