Romione❤️ one-shots

Forever

One day they had been laying in bed when Hermione had turned to him. "Remember when we first met?"

"I hated you." Ron said looking over at her.

"You know we owe our whole relationship to that troll." She said. "We really should find him and thank him."

Ron had laughed, really laughed for the first time since Fred died and he felt like a weight had been lifted. Maybe it was okay to laugh, maybe it was okay to go a little bit without thinking of Fred. Maybe it wasn't a huge betrayal to his brother to have fun. Looking back he knew that it was right. Fred had always wanted people to laugh, he would have wanted Ron to laugh. "I think we should probably not talk to trolls, Hermione."

"How about when you asked me to Yule Ball." She said a glint in her eyes, "Always a way with words you had, telling me you noticed I was a girl and did I want to go."

Ron laughed again. "How about when you attacked me with birds."

"I mean, I didn't technically attack you, and I was having to watch you snogging Lavender all the time."

Ron shuddered at the though. "You made me watch you and Victor Krum. He couldn't even say your name!"

"Well I was just happy to have someone notice me!" She said defensively, though there was humor in her voice.

"You could have been snogging me the whole time, you know." Ron had said turning so he could look at her properly.

Hermione rolled her eyes, "I could not have, you hadn't shown the slightest big of interest in me besides, we've never actually properly snogged to this day."

Ron had had a retort ready, pointing out that he had shown, at least in his mind all kinds of interest in her but gave it up as she went on, inside grabbing her and "properly snogging" her for the first time.

After a while he had pulled away, looking at her, "Hermione..."

"Yeah?" She asked looking confused.

"The night at the Malfoy's when Bellatrix was..."He stopped unable to even say the words, "When they took you..."

Hermione's face had paled as she thought of the day. "Yeah."

"I'm sorry I couldn't stop them. I wanted to. I want you to know that, I'm sorry it wasn't me. I'm sorry I couldn't get up there."

Hermione smiled softly at him, "You really still think about that? You still worry about it?"

Ron nodded, "Yeah I was so scared, I thought you would die and would never have gotten to tell you how I felt about you, I would never get to hold you and I was so scared. I knew they were hurting you and I couldn't stop them."

Hermione wrapped her arms around him kissing him softly. "I knew you wanted to Ron. I could hear you. I...I just kept thinking if I got out I could see you. Could tell you...tell you that I loved you."

"And we still didn't say it." Ron said.

"We were stupid."

"Don't you ever leave me."

"The war is over." Hermione reminded him, "We're safe now."

He had found her at Harry's the day he proposed to her. He had went to Harry's to tell him that had finally bought the ring but never made it to Harry. When he had gotten there she had been in the yard with Ginny. Ginny was incredibly pregnant and she and Hermione were in the yard with Victoire and Teddy.

Victoire was talking wildly to Ginny, waving her arms around and Ginny was laughing. Hermione was a few feet away laying in the grass looking at a lizard with Teddy. None of them had noticed Ron arrive and he sat and watched them for a few minutes.
