my boy : a ron weasley story

chapter two - new beginnings

After all the drama that had happened on the train, all I wanted was to get settled in and go to bed, but unfortunatley for me we all had to sit through the welcome back speach, watch the first years get sorted into their houses and listen to Malfoy make little remarks about us all evening. The only positive from all this? The food. Oh my goodness the food. I mean magic never fails to impress me but this is a whole new level, not quite as good as Mrs Weasleys of course but still bloody amazing.

Trying to forget everything that had happened previously and my little 'moment' with Ron, I tried to join one of the many conversations going on around me. All until I felt a slight pressure against my thigh. I looked down quickly and saw that it was Ron's leg that was against mine. Looking back up I saw his cheeks blush a light pink, did he do this on purpose? Without having much time to think about it I felt the pressure go, leaving my thigh cold. I didn't realise how much I liked what he did because I felt myself visibly frowning, and so, with the tinest pinch of confidence I had in me, I pushed my leg back up against his, which clearly took him by suprise as his cheeks were now the same colour as his hair.

What was I thinking. He probably did it without realising.

A smile snuck itself across his face, a smile I don't think he meant to let out. We continued eating, our legs touching the whole time and ocasionally our sides aswell, giving me butterflies everytime the pressure slightly increased between our bodies.

Fuck.

I think I like Ron.

------------------------------------

Finishing off our meals and making our way back to the common room, me, Ron, Hermione and Harry fell onto the sofa and armchairs, practically falling asleep as soon as we sat down. I really wanted to tell Hermione and Ginny about my feelings for Ron but I was way too tired to think straight right now. We all said our goodnights, however I needed to find a book for one of my lessons tommorow in the common room so I said I'd be up soon to Hermione.

As I was searching the shelf for what I needed, I felt a comforting presence behind me which smelt like cinnamon and firewood. It smelt like Ron.

'Hey' he said.

'Hi' I replied shyly, which is very unlike me.

'What ya looking for?' he asked, trying to start a conversation to which I wasn't going to refuse.

'Oh just a book about Amortia for Potions tomorrow, I didn't get the chance to get it from Hogsmeade so I thought I could find it here,' I explained 'But on second thought...maybe not.' I continued, realising I couldn't find the book.

Ron had been looking on the shelf above me, the one I couldn't reach properly, while I was talking, which I now realise was because...

'What, this book?' he smirked and handed it too me.

'Well played Weasley, well played' I giggled and thanked him with a hug. His strong grip around my waist sent butterlies to my stomach.

As I slowly pulled away I looked up. He was looking at me, deep into my eyes, and thats when he said,

'I liked what happened at dinner, but I just wanted to say that if you're not comfortable with it then please let me know and it won't happen again-' he rambled on. He's cute when he rambles.

'Ron,' I put my hand on his cheek, 'I liked it too.' I smiled.

He smiled back.

'Don't forget the book' he chuckled, 'Goodnight Y/N'

'Goodnight Ron'.

~time skip 2 weeks~

Just like every other year, settling into Hogwarts is always easy. The past couple of weeks seemed to go by quickly and I hadn't really been with Ron on my own since that night in the common room, of course I saw him at meals and in our classes but that was with Harry and Hermione too. I told Ginny and Hermione about Ron and what had happened to which Hermione squealed and hugged me and Ginny said 'Oh ewwww that's my brother Y/N' while pulling a disgusted face and laughing, 'I'm kidding of course, I'm happy for you, ever since you and Cormac ended and the way he was with you, you deserve to be happy.' she hugged me and we all fell asleep shortly after.

The book I, well Ron, had found for potions actually ended up not being needed as we spent the lesson doing the more practical side to it. However I am worried that when we have to smell the potion to test it Ron will clock that I like him. I mean, what he said is amazing and all but I know there are some beautiful girls in our year who fancy him to so I'm trying not to worry to much about him right now.

After spending around an hour eating dinner with my friends, I realised the time...

'Shit, I'm sorry guys I have to go, I need to go to the library for a bit before it closes for the day to study for McGonagall's test tomorrow.' I said a little stressed.

'No worries N/N, do you want me to stay up for you?' Hermione asked.

'No no its okay mione, I'm going to stay as late as they let me as I'm not doing the best in her class, I'll see you guys tomorrow.' I spoke, grabbing my bag and saying goodnight to the group.

-----

It was around 9:30 pm and I was the only person left in the library. Soft, jazz music was playing from the small muggle radio in the corner nearest me which I found myself humming along too while writing my notes. I turned it up a little and danced around the different isles, looking for another book to make notes on. Filch had asked me to lock up as I'm a pretty trusted here by the teachers, so I wasn't worried about getting in trouble. As I was moving up and down the isles I bumped into a figure without realising, causing myself to drop a pile of books I had in my hands.

'I-I'm so sorry Sir-' I stammered as I tried to pick up the books as quicly as possible, 'You see it was just me in here and-'

I looked up.

'R-Ron?'

'Alright N/N?' he laughed.

'Bloody hell well I am now' I laughed along with him, 'Do me a favour and help me with these books.'

After gathering all the books and putting them back, I realised the music was still a little loud from when I was dancing. I went to turn it down when Ron grabbed my hand.

'Dont, I like this music.' He grinned. I couldn't help but smile. 'Care to dance?' He asked, offering me his hand out in a sarcastic way but still as though he meant it.

'Why thank you kind Sir.' I replied laughing, curtseying with my skirt and taking his hand.

We danced and laughed around the library, swaying in time to the music. It was perfect. And then he stopped and looked down at me, the same way he did in the common room.

Ron's POV

I couldn't help it, she looked so beautiful laughing and dancing around with me. I couldn't keep in these feelings I have for her.

I kissed her.

Y/N's POV

He kissed me.
