Who: Hermione and Ron
When: Christmas Eve
Where: The Burrow
What: Before dinner

Hermione arrived to The Burrow for Weasley Christmas Eve. Ron asked her to meet him there a little early, there was something he needed to do and wanted her to tag along. Hermione agreed, of course, since even though she figured their relationship was over, she still wanted to be Ron's friend.

She arrived an hour early, wearing her Christmas dress and nicest cloak. She knocked on the front door of The Burrow, wondering if Mrs. Weasley was going to try and force-feed her... again.

	Hermione let him lead her into the house and sat down. She was still in awe of all of this. She looked up at him, her eyes brimming now with tears as everything sank in. "Oh, Ron." She said, reaching for his hand once more. "Ron, this is the most amazing... most romantic thing anyone's ever done for me." She said, breaking into a warm smile. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Ron didn't take Hermione's tears as a sign of happiness. He was convinced she thought him a fool. Now he could see the fault in his plan. He spent so much time preparing for his future with Hermione that he hadn't spent enough time with her in the here and now. Merlin save him, he was an idiot.

He let her take his hand and tried not to look too heartbroken. She would let him down easy. Ron knew that much. And then they'd find some way to be friends. But Ron knew, without a doubt that he'd never love anyone the way he loved Hermione.

"Yeah. Well." How was he going to face his brothers? He'd bought a house for Hermione and now she was turning him down.

"Well, nothing." Hermione said. She didn't know how he was feeling--she was so overwhelmed with the idea that he'd bought her a house as an engagement present. So much more useful than a ring.

Then again, there was the idea that he wanted to spend his life with her. Forever, he'd said. And she couldn't wait to start spending forever with him. A gentle smile was starting to curve her features as she gave his hand a tug to bring him closer against her. "When do we move in?"

	Ron stepped forward with the tug. All he could think of was losing Hermione. It broke his heart in ways he never knew possible. Ron was about to pull away and try to regain his pride when she asked him a question. "What?! You... You... But you didn't say yes." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"Oh, I'm sorry." Hermione said, tugging on his hand again. She really couldn't believe her luck. He hadn't been avoiding her, he'd been... buying a house for her. For them, really. A house for them to move into together.

"Yes. A thousand times yes." She tugged him again, even closer, hoping to pull him onto the sofa with her. She was unable to hide her excitement and happiness now. "When do we move in?"

And as quickly as the heartbreak had appeared it vanished. Ron's heart swelled up to the size of a Quaffle and he fell to his knees in front of Hermione. "You're going to marry me," he said in awe. No amount of planning could have prepared him for the joy he felt knowing she was his forever.

Wrapping his arms around her, Ron pulled Hermione close and kissed her with everything he felt. His hands were lost in her hair and his lips moved against hers until his lungs were straining for air. "I love you," he said as he exhaled. "I love you, Mione. You can move in tonight except I don't have a bed. I was waiting for you."

Hermione nodded, grinning a bigger and more excited grin than she'd ever grinned in her whole life as he dropped to his knees in front of her. "Yes." She repeated. She was going to marry him.

And then they were embracing. His arms were around her, and hers around him, and they were kissing deeply and passionately. "I love you, too." She responded when he pulled back. "I always have. And... yes. We have to spend tonight here. Just the two of us. Can we conjure a bed? I don't want to leave."

	Hearing that for the first time was enough to make Ron forget about the feast his mother was cooking less than a mile away. He kissed Hermione again, leaning her back on the sofa and making sure he enjoyed this moment. It was never going to happen again, right? "Don't tell your Dad," Ron teased against her lips. "He's pretty scary when he wants to be." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

They only had this once. It was a once-in-a-lifetime snogging session. They would only have just been engaged once. Only the draw of Mrs. Weasley's cooking might pull Hermione away from their house. Maybe. Probably not. She was looking forward to spending the time with him and him alone tonight. They could order food, or just forego food for the night and go get something in the morning. Hermione's tummy was too excited for food, anyway.

Hermione pressed closer to him, giving some soft, lazy kisses. She pulled back after he spoke, blushing and grinning softly. "You spoke with my father?"

"Course I asked you dad," Ron said as thought it was the most obvious thing in the world. "Your Mum, too." Turning his attention to her cheeks and neck, Ron placed light kisses all over the place at random. She tasted better than he'd expected.

By now, Ron was completely on the sofa and had forgotten about everything except for the woman in his arms. He was a lucky git, Ron knew that much. The luckiest in the world, actually.

"I really love you," he said again as though Hermione might not have believed him.

	"Wow. I didn't--well, I guess I just didn't expect you to..." She shrugged, grinning at the kisses along her cheeks and neck. She gave a soft giggle. "I've loved you almost since the first day I met you." Hermione said, going rather pink. "I didn't realize it until fairly recently." She added softly, then turned to catch his lips with her own.
