Who: Hermione and Ron
What: Celebrating Harry's Birthday
When: The 31st, after work
Where: Ron's flat
Rating/Warning: TBA

Hermione hadn't been able to focus at work - generally she was able to take the 31st of July off, but that hadn't happened this year and so she'd spent the the day avoiding nearly everyone (people kept talking about him as if they'd known him!) and left, remarkably, even a bit early after she'd cleared it with her supervisor. It was one of the perks of being higher up in the department, at least.

But then there was the question of what to do with the night. She thought of going by the grave, but she was sure other Order members would be hovering around it and she'd never liked the place, anyway, hated to think of him there. She thought of going by the statue in Memorial Park, but then thought that considering the day it was probably the biggest tourist attraction in Wizarding Britain at the moment, and there were so many tourists in the area for the Quidditch World Cup that she didn't want to see it swamped.

Finally, she settled on going her flat to pick a few things up, and then to the one place she knew she'd end up tonight. Apparating in, and a few moments later knocking on Ron's door with a bottle of firewhiskey in her free hand and a bag for the morning slung over her shoulder.

Maybe they were like this every year - thinking back over the last five, Hermione couldn't think of this night in that many years that she'd spent without Ron, really. Not entirely. She barely heard the door close behind them, because Ron had her in his arms and she melted against him, all pain and stressed frustration from the day still there, but quieter, and perhaps sharper - which might have been why her mouth found his so very, very fast. Without even saying hello to him, really. She thought the actions could speak for themselves.

	After a minute he broke away from her lips, his breath coming a little too fast, but kept her tightly in his grip. It was so important, now, to know that there was someone he could hold and who wouldn't go away; it helped to dull the other loss a little. He stroked at the line of her jaw with his thumb. "Hello," he murmured. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"I suppose so," She answered, turning toward his touch like a cat and then almost laughing. She preferred the other hello, really. "How was your day," she said, pretending for some normalcy while her hands sliding down over his shoulders, landing on the buttons at the collar of his shirt. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"The same," she answered, which was vague and not an answer at all, but she knew, too, that neither of them really wanted to talk about anything that had happened today. Instead she leaned a little closer in to him as his fingers slid into her hair, sighing against his chest and then stretching up - he was so tall - to kiss him again.

	Hermione was a little surprised at his turning her to the sofa, but she let him - it crossed her mind that, maybe for the first time in a while, she'd have rather just gone to the bedroom - but she sat when her legs it the cushions, and as she sat she pulled him down with him, not quite willing to stop kissing him yet.
