HERMIONE'S POV
Ron and I had finally reached the chamber, making our way towards the entrance. Ron stopped in front of the door and held his chin up high.

Only a couple seconds later, he began to speak in Parseltongue, something in which I had no clue he knew how to do.

"Harry talks in his sleep. Have you noticed?" Ron turned to me with a bright smile.

"No," I denied, "Of course not."

We walked through the door and down the long isle to reach the spot where the once alive basilisk laid, it's sharp teeth on display.

Ron went over to extract a tooth from the creature while I took out the cup and or Horcrux we'd be destroying.

He approached me with the fang, "You do it."

"I can't-"

"Yes, you can." He argued, his voice hoarse and low as if he really believed in me.

His encouragement was enough for me to take the fang from him and place the Horcrux on the ground. We both kneeled down anxiously, preparing for what's to happen.

I raised my arm in advance to swinging it down and stabbing the cup right in the center. After that, the cup rolled away and water began to rise all around us.

Ron and I looked up in fright, knowing that whatever was meant to happen next couldn't have been fun.

We stood up quickly, my hand immediately being grabbed by his as we rushed backwards and away from the water that was now taller than us, swirling around like it was angry.

It only took a few seconds for the water to calm down, all in which most of it decided to land on top of us, completely soaking our clothes and hair.

My heart was beating abnormally fast after my jaw dropped in disbelief. Ron seemed to have been panting as well, trying to catch his breath.

All I could think about in that moment was what could've happened if he wasn't there with me. I couldn't have been more grateful of having him by my side this entire time.

Then I realized how much I truly think about him. How much I really care for Ron as a friend. Or maybe.. as more.

We glanced at each other for a second, our breathing deep and in sync while the tension continued to rise.

It only took one last glance before we gave in and stepped closer to each other, his hand found my waist as our lips connected to one another's like we couldn't resist each other anymore.

My hand was balled against his chest, capturing the moment that I could tell he had been waiting for as much as I have been.

When we pulled away, our faces both washed away the shock in return for happiness, expressing a few chuckles in unison.

HARRY'S POV
"I really wish this school wasn't so fucking big!" Y/N yelled over everyone's screams and the sounds of destruction.

"Language!" Lucian replied and sent a nonverbal hex to a Death Eater.

I kept running before spotting a familiar face.

"Neville!" I shouted.

"Ginny!" Y/N called out after me.

We all stopped at the same time, quickly exchanging hugs and not listening to each other's loud and shaky breaths.

"Have any of you seen Luna?" Ginny questioned while holding her wand tight in her palm.

"No," Neville shook his head, "I'll help you find her! It's time you confess to her-"

"Alright!" Ginny embarrassedly interrupted him and took off, up the staircase with Neville following closely behind her.
