Summary: Ron, Hermione, a snowstorm, and Hagrid's cabin. Takes place during 5th year.

"Look, it's just - " Ron continued to stare at the
ceiling. His entire body tensed under the quilt and his voice seemed
incapable of choosing an octave. "Do you - d'you want to go together?"


The sounds of wind and snow seemed to vanish all at once. A hush
wrapped the one room cabin, muffling the outside world. Hermione
stared wonderingly at Ron's profile, not even searching for words.


She couldn't answer. Her heart had stopped.


Ron fidgeted and caught a short, necessary-sounding breath, as if
he hadn't breathed in several minutes. "I figured you were prob'ly
already going with someone," he said, his voice a dull, embarrassed
rush. Even in the dark, he managed to go red. "So that's fine - "


"Oh no - " Hermione gasped, finally finding air
enough to support her voice " - no, Ron, I want to go with you."


She blushed. Hard. That had been rather obvious. But it didn't
matter - nothing mattered - Hermione's entire education was presently
reduced to one, essential fact. Ron had asked her to the Ball.
She would be going with him.

See? I'm not just a Draco/Hermione shipper. I love Ron/Hermione fics as well. And I believe that no Ron/Hermione fan should go on living without having read this. It's the best R/H fic I've ever read.

Ron and Hermione in this story are so in-character, it's almost creepy, like it could really be a chapter in the actual books, if only there hadn't been so much going on at Hogwarts during their 5th year. Oh, well. I'm sure you'll like it. Everyone I know who's read it does.
