Who: Hermione Granger and Ron Weasley
When: The evening of 28 January
Where: The Leaky Cauldron
Rating: PG-13 just to be safe
Status: Incomplete/Closed
Summary: Hermione and Ron meet after work to talk about things.

The idea of meeting Ron at the Leaky Cauldron shouldn't have made her nervous, but it did. It was the first time they had spoken since she had gotten married, save the few minutes they spoken at the ball before complete mayhem broke out as a result of the Dark Mark appearing. She knew why she was nervous, though. She still loved him, had since sixth year when her feelings turned from a hard, school-girl crush to feelings that were much more deeper. For awhile, she had thought things might work out between them, but things got in the way and they were never given the chance to make it work.

Now, however, she was married, and though she didn't agree with the Ministry whatsoever, it still didn't change the fact that Ron did nothing but sit back and watch as her life was completely turned inside out because of one sheet of parchment. She did feel bitter because of it, but how couldn't she? But then again, she argued, she could have taken matters into her own hands herself.

Sighing as she opened the door to the Leaky Cauldron, she looked around, but didn't see that familiar head of red hair anywhere. She was early though, so she gave Tom a small wave before helping herself into one of the booths.

"Of course I'll be nice to him. He could easily give me the boot if I piss him off too much. But don't you think he is going to feel a bit odd? He's going to have to know how much I love you, 'Mione. That ring proves it. It looks perfect on you," and Ron took her hand and kissed the ring and her finger gently.

He held her right hand in his left hand, and his right arm slipped around her waist again. He pulled her close to him and gave her a small, happy sigh to see the ring on her finger, where it should have been all along.

He found he was suddenly hunger, and asked, "Are you going to be able to stay long? What about coming over to my place for something to eat? Hang out? You can owl Stephen, and tell him to come over too, if you want. I don't want you to go. I had hoped to spend more time with you. I mean, it's been so bloody long since we did spend a good bit of time together."

While Hermione did appreciate his words and reveled in them, she was consciously aware of their surroundings and that anyone could be watching. She and Ron didn't have the luxury of being unknown; their names had been printed alongside Harry's since they were in school, so it wasn't difficult for someone to easily notice them. She did let him pull her closer though, her eyes dancing between the rest of the Leaky Cauldron over his shoulder and his face.

Biting her lip, Hermione tried to decide whether or not she should go back to Ron's place or not. As she always did, she told Stephen that she would be home almost directly after work, but then again - well, she had hardly had the chance to spend anytime with Ron in the past few weeks.

"I suppose I could. For a little bit anyway. Stephen shouldn't mind too terribly much, I'm sure." And then she added, "Carry in would be easier unless you intended to make sandwiches or something easy."

Ron moved to stand, and said, "I'll get something for us from Tom, some soup and some meat and bread. I'll meet you at the door?" and Ron moved away, to place an order of food to go. Tom's tavern food was simple, but hearty. Ron moved easily across the room, to lean in and speak with Tom. He leaned against the bar as he watched the man head into the back to fetch the food.

Ron turned to look back over at Hermione at the table, and smiled at her. There was something about her that warmed his heart when he looked at her. She was incredibly beautiful, by his estimation, and he felt a pang of jealously at Stephen, who would spend hours and hours with her daily. Did her husband realize what a jewel he had? Her fine delicate features? Her eyes that made one melt inside? The way she moved with confidence and purpose? Ron thought of her cupid bow lips, and the thought of Stephen kissing her flashed through his mind, which he quickly put down. He didn't want to think of that. Her lips were for him alone, he thought resolutely. She was supposed to be his, and he was stubborn in his idea to make this happen.

Tom came out, with a basket, full of the food. He added a round of bread and handed it over to Ron, who paid and would return the empty container in the morning. He moved to the door, ready to open it and lead Hermione out onto the Alley, and to his flat, down the street.
