life changing...

☆ᴛʜᴇ ʙᴜʀʀᴏᴡ

Hermione took a deep breath, savoring the scenery just outside the Burrow where the Weasleys had kindly offered her and Harry to stay after the Wizarding War. A smile spread across her face as Ron emerged from the Burrow and approached her. "Hey, Mione-" he began, only to be interrupted by Hermione, who wrapped her arms around him affectionately.

Ron grinned and returned the hug. "Whoa, where did that come from?" he teased. Hermione rolled her eyes and retorted, "Oh, shut up, Ron." Just as Ron was about to reply, a familiar voice echoed from the Burrow, "Kids, come in for dinner!" It was Molly Weasley, the mother of the family. "Coming!" Hermione called out, as she and Ron entered the house, their hands intertwined.

As they entered, they noticed nearly every family member, along with Harry, gathered at the table. Arthur Weasley was the only person absent as he was at work. Hermione and Ron took their seats, and Ginny elbowed Hermione playfully. "Mione, what were you and Ron up to outside...?" Ginny whispered, a grin spreading across her face. "I-I um..." Hermione stuttered softly. Ginny let out a quiet chuckle and began to eat.

After everyone had finished eating, Harry glanced at Ginny, who had a cheeky smile on her face. Her gaze drifted over to Ron and Hermione. Ginny observed the couple to her left, then turned back to Harry. She winked at him and rose from her seat, making her way to her room on the first floor.

Ron toyed with the string of his jumper, then noticed Ginny was gone. His gaze shifted to his girlfriend. The light streaming through the window bathed her fair face and rosy cheeks. He grinned, unable to resist admiring the lovely scene before him.

Hermione would get up, pushing her chair in before walking to the living room. Ron would follow her. Hermione would grab a photo album from a cupboard. She would open the book and flip through the dusty pages. She would grin whole-heartedly when she saw an adorable picture of Ron. His ginger hair was disheveled, and a lanky smile was formed on his freckled face. The picture looked like it was taken before second year. She would look to her boyfriend, who was also grinning.

Hermione: " Ron- you were adorable...! Look at that smile, your hair, and your rosy cheeks- awh!"

Ron: *Stammers* " Oi- Cut it out, I wasn't THAT adorable..." 

Hermione: " Sure- Believe what you want to. 

The couple noticed that the sun had already set and that it was probably time to go to bed. Hermione started to get up, she'd put the album back on the cupboard, and she would head to the stairs. Ron followed her to the stairs and they both walked up them together, fingers intertwined. Once they fully got up the stairs- Ron turned to face Hermione.

Ron: " See you tomorrow- and come to me if you still have any Bellatrix nightmares... alright?"

Hermione would shiver at the name of Bellatrix, but she would nod- appreciating Ron's comforting words. Bellatrix couldn't get her- even though it felt like she 100% could. 

Hermione: " Right-"... She started to head to Ginny's room- but turns back to face Ron at the last moment. " Love you- " 

And they shared a soft kiss before parting their ways and heading to their separate rooms. <33
