WHO: Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger
WHEN: Thursday afternoon, after classes
WHERE: Common room
SUMMARY: Ron surprises Hermione with a thoughtful gesture so she'll forgive him
RATING: PG for fluff?
STATUS: Complete

Ron had been working on this for days. He was miserable without Hermione and he missed her too much to go on not speaking like they were. He knew some of the things he'd said in anger had hurt her she'd hurt him too but he figured that taking the initiative and apologzing first was what needed to be done in order to right things.

He'd owled his Mum days ago asking for instructions on how to do his little plan and after plenty of struggling, he'd figured it out and although it wasn't the best, it was definitely going to please Hermione when she saw the effort he was putting in. Now, all that was left was actually going to talk to her. Harder than it sounds.

Figuring she'd be in the library studying for exams, he took a deep breath, ran a hand through his hair and headed in that direction, eyes scanning the room as he entered. He spotted her in the corner, books spread across the tables, scribbling furiously on parchment and slowly he walked over.

"Hi Hermione." He said softly, hoping she wouldn't ignore him completely and at least let him do his apology thing.

Ron was surprised by her confession, not knowing that had been the reason she'd gotten so angry. He had thought it was because of the book itself. He thought that maybe she thought he was a pervert or something and that had only fueled his anger at the time because that was the last thing he was.

" 'S'okay." He said softly, shrugging and giving her a smile. "We both made mistakes, yeah? Said a lot of things out of anger. It was a bit of a big deal over something small, I reckon."

Hermione nodded, agreeing with him completely. they had made mistakes, both of them, and they always knew which buttons to push that would hurt the most when they were angry. And they had most definitely pushed them. Hard.

"If you don't really want that book, you should try sending it back to your brothers," she said, treading easily so that they wouldn't get angry at each other again. "You don't have to keep it just because they sent it to you."

"I'm definitely going to try." Ron said with a nod, pulling Hermione down to sit on the couch with him. "If they've hexed it and something happens to me so be it." He said with a shrug, not really caring... he'd been through worse with Fred and George.

"So, you really like it then? Took me ages." He said, pointing to the table of stuff he'd done for her. He really was proud of his work even if the hats and scarves looked like wonky balls of yarn.

Again, Hermione nodded as they sat down. She liked that idea. While it was just a book, it wasn't exactly one to have on Hogwarts grounds. If he kept it, it should be tucked away somewhere safe, somewhere where no one would fine it. She doubted though that the Burrow would be such a place considering how thorough his mum was when it came to cleaning and searching for things.

Looking at the table again, Hermione gave a small smile. "Yes, though I'm still more surprised than anything. They house-elves will have a good Christmas this year thanks to you."

Ron gave a shrug, smiling a bit sheepishly and blushing slightly. He really was pleased that Hermione liked his whole set up and he was thrilled they were speaking again. It had been horrible without her. He didn't know how he survived those months not speaking to her the previous year.

"I missed you like crazy, love." He said softly, lifting a hand to her cheek and stroking her skin softly with his fingers.

Turning her head to look at him, she unconsciously leaned into the caress, savouring it for a moment before giving him a small smile. "I missed you as well," she said quietly, meaning it, though she did want to point out that had they not both been so stubborn, they wouldn't have fought. But she held her tongue; saying something that insensitive would only cause another fight and honestly? - that was the last thing she wanted at the moment.

"Don't think I'm trying to get out of spending time with you, but I should head back to the Library shortly. My hardest exam is in two days and I can't afford to lose much motivation."

Ron felt a slight smile form on his face when she leaned into his touch a little. At least he hadn't been the only one who had missed the other. That being said, he didn't really want to part ways with her just yet.

"Mind if I grab my books and study with you? I won't be a bother, promise. Just want to stay with you." He shrugged a bit, needing to study himself but wanting to just be near her if he could.

Momentarily, she was surprised that he was so willing to take his books and go with her to the Library. It usually seemed as if she had to drag him in there by the ear, kicking and screaming the whole way before she would finally convince him to buckle down and study. But then the ulterior motive was revealed and she couldn't help but smiled.

Shaking her head, she pushed herself up off the couch. "So long as you actually study," she told him, giving him a look. She knew how distracted he could get.

"Promise." He said, holding his hands up in surrender and giving her a smile. He reached out and tugged on her hand, pulling her close for a moment before leaning down to kiss her softly. Merlin, he'd missed that.

He kissed her lovingly for a few moments before pulling away and tucking some hair behind her ear. "I missed that too, you know." He said with a little smile.

And she would hold him to that promise, mostly because, if she knew him well enough (and she believed she did after knowing him for so many years), he hadn't studied all that much yet. Therefore, every little bit that he got in between then and the exam would be more than helpful.

Smiling into the kiss, she felt it lingering and let it do so, even though they were in the common room. But she had missed it too and admitted the same, smiling gently. "Come on, we'd better get going. There's only a few hours left before we're kicked out."
