Who: Ronald Weasley and Hermione Granger.
When: Monday evening sometime.
Where: Hermione's flat.
What: A surprise visit from Ron :D.
Rating: PG-13 -- simply because Ron has a potty mouth.
Status: Complete.

Hermione's day had been quiet, well planned out. She had systematically checked off everythign on her list. And for the second time in less than a week Hermione had managed to finish up what she had wanted done before she went home. She really was making head way on her projects at work and it brought her such happiness. Soon there would be more rights for all creatures. It was everything she had ever dreamed of! Having any free time was a rare opportunity. If truth be told she was rather enjoying this little development. It gave her all the time in the world to relax in her home and keep an eye on Crookshanks. She had yet to get to the bottom of that mystery! But she was working on it.

Nestled into a large chair, her copy of Hogwarts: A History was splayed out onto her lap. One hand absently flipped the pages while the other hand gently stroked Crookshanks head. It was nights like these that Hermione truly enjoyed. It gave her every chance to unwind. The stress of the day was gone and Hermione was able to concentrate on something that wasn't work related. She loved those moments. Reaching out she grabbed her cup of tea, slowly bringing it to her lips so that she could take a drink.

Nothing could be more perfect tonight. Well, maybe one thing.

Ron had been sitting in his flat, fidgeting, when he finally made the decision to go and see Hermione. He hadn't seen her too terribly much lately, what with the vast amount of work she was doing and his own auror training. He had been thinking about sending Pig out with a letter, but the truth was that Harry had been acting a bit strange lately, and Ron was lonely.

Ron peered into his mirror, trying to tidy up his hair or at least will the red blush staining his cheeks to go away. He wasn't sure why he was so nervous to visit Hermione. It wasn't like things were weird between them. Yeah, that's what he'd keep telling himself.

There was a floral table setting his mum had brought over sitting on the kitchen counter. It was a few days old and a couple of the leaves and flowers had started to wilt, but he figured it looked good enough. Ron grabbed it, took a deep breath, and apparated to Hermione's house. He'd meant to land in the back of it, hidden from Muggle view, but instead he landed in a bush. Great.

Dusting himself off, Ron headed to the front of the door and knocked loudly. He clutched his sad-looking plant tightly in one hand, completely unaware that his hair had a few stray leaves in it.

Having not been expecting anyone Hermione was particularly surprised to hear a knock at her front door. In fact, it had surprised her so much that she choked on her tea, choughing rather violently. Much to Crookshanks dismay she ceased the petting, closed her book and see it aside before she stood up.

Stashing her wand in her jeans she moved towards the door. One could never be too careful. After all of those years it was a difficult habit to break. Slowly she cracked open the door, peering out from behind it. "Hello?" She would ask first before recognition would set in.

"Ron?" she asked with a tone of surprise. Her eyes were dragged downwards by the flowers in his hand. How sad did they look? But it made her heart beat just a little faster upon seeing them, dying or not. "What are you doing here?" Hermione seemed to have lost all sense of her manners.

"Hermione?" Ron peered around the door crack to squint at his friend. "I came to see you?" He sounded unsure of himself now, wondering if he'd come at a bad time. Embarrassed, he quickly hid his flowers behind his back and took a step away from the door.

"Are you busy? Do you ... have company?" Ron shuffled his feet and stared at the ground. He should have owled her first, or even called. He'd gotten a telephone installed in his flat sometime after the war had ended.

"I'm interrupting something, aren't I?" Ron sounded gloomy, only encouraged by the fact that Hermione was only staring at him through a tiny slit in the door.

Quickly Hermione shook her head, pulling the door open even further. "No! Not at all," she said rather quickly. Her cheeks flushed, but she tried to cover it by continuing to talk. "It's just a surprise to see you. I hadn't been expecting you. I was just reading. That's all." She was sure she sounded a little guilty, even if she had no reason to be. It was a rush of feelings that she could hardly explain. There really was no one there and she really wasn't busy.

"Come in, really." She stepped back then, holding the door open for him. "You're not interrupting anything. Although, I'm not sure Crookshanks will be all too pleased." Hermione smirked at him. Crookshanks and Ron had such a loving relationship. You know, like Crookshanks loved to claw at Ron while he wasn't looking.

"Oh, well, okay." Ron gave Hermione a lopsided grin and tried to nonchalantly hold the flowers out to her without actually looking like he was trying to give her a present. He was absolutely terrible at this kind of thing, though even this was better than the time he'd tried to give her a bottle of shampoo.

"Of course you were reading." Ron rolled his eyes and stepped inside her apartment, glancing around nervously for the beast of a cat she loving called Crookshanks. He wasn't sure why, but that stupid animal had never taken to him.

"So, uhh, how've you been? What's going on?"
