Rating: PG
Word Count: MS Word tells me 343

"I love you, Ron."

I was barely even in the door yet. Something was not on.

"Hermione," I walked over to where she stood blocking the dining room door. "What did you do?"

"Well, see...." she was shifting her feet around, but she still kept a rather scary death grip on the doorframe.

"Aw, come on, love. Did you spend more than our limit at the auction today? It's alright, we needed a dining room table, and we are doing pretty well now, money-wise."

"Well....Ron, it's not quite like that...."

"Oh, no, I know that look." I lowered my voice and leaned in some. "Someone has been a very naughty girl." I have to say it was pretty well brilliant to see the hairs rise up on her neck. Of course, not so brilliant that I wouldn't use the distraction to slip by and duck into the...

Dining Room? With leather chairs? Bookshelves to the ceiling?

"Hermione?"

"I...um....Well, see, there was a special discount if you bought a whole suite of furniture....and...well, I thought...."

"You thought you'd convert our Dining Room into a Library."

She just sort of squeaked a little, and I tried to look somber and stern. Unfortunately, I couldn't stop laughing.

"Oh, relax, woman. I married a woman who likes books more than food, and I like it that way." I pulled her towards me and nuzzled her neck a bit, just because. "Besides, now we are off the hook for hosting any of those annoying family luncheons ...."

"Ugh." Her arms slid around my waist and she started doing that thing to my ear, making my brain go all fuzzy and whatnot. "Don't remind me, I still need to make a covered dish for Saturday."

"Wait....Saturday?" My mind flew to my orange jumper in the hall cupboard and the prime pair of tickets burning a hole in the breast pocket.

"You know, the do at Percy's? Why Audrey feels the need to have a formal event for a child's six month birthday is beyond me...."

"I love you, Hermione."

Rating: PG13
Words: 300+300=600 exactly
Author's Note (if any): Thanks to Undercloakkept for nurturing the angst!



This was also the week when I got the lowest number of votes and was eliminated from the competition.   It was a wonderful experience and a great honor to work with so many great writers!   Congratulations to the other participants for all of their hard work, and special thanks to The Steppy One for moderating the whole shebang.

Please visit community.livejournal.com/rwhg_ldws/  and read the other drabbles that were part of the LDWS, and consider signing up for Round 2!


Prompt: Write two drabbles as opposed to one, one from Hermione's point of view and one from Ron's point of view, all based around the promps, 'I would like to be the air that inhabits you just for a moment. I want to be that unnoticed, but that necessary,' Each Drabble must be 100-300 words and the two drabbles must be of equal length. )

Historically, I've been a shameless taker on LiveJournal...Sure, I have a massive flist and I read like a maniac and I even comment and review...

But, I haven't posted a dern thing. 

This shall change, my pretties...I recently had a fantastic time  in the Ron/Hermione Last Drabble Writer Standing and I wanted a spot to put all my entries in to one place.   The good news is that there will soon be an influx of drabblicious goodness.   The bad news?   I shall be spamming your Flist.    Mercilessly.   Look for about 10 entries in the next couple of days.  

You have been warned.
