Hermione wants to be happy. She just wants to be happy.

Percy has led a life of which he is very proud. Ear-marked by success and effciency, he has climbed professional ranks and achieved what he has always wanted--a job at the Ministry. He decides, however, that it may be time to branch out, expand his horizons, hell...have some fun. He encounters a new world in a new pub which has just opened in his neighborhood. Aided by familiar faces, he breaks out of his old life of monotony and schedules, and begins to explore what he now knows that he has been missing out on for too long. For Percy, however, things aren't always what they seem, and unfortunately for him, they may exact quite a toll.

"Divine stillness. Silence fell between them as the shadows stole the light from around them. He pressed his lips to hers for just a moment longer. He started to pull away, but Ginny’s chin jutted forward, beckoning him to come back—to stay. Ron let go of her wrists, cupping her face in his hands. Ginny timidly ran her fingers through his hair." This is a Ron/Ginny fic. Do not read if incest offends or squicks you. Ye be warned!

“Why don’t you stay here with me and sleep in my bed tonight?” “You have never offered that before.” “Well…I never knew you couldn’t get back to sleep.” “Do you think it will help me?” “It couldn’t hurt, could it?” “Okay then. Well…Goodnight, Harry.” “Good night, Ron.”

Canon is a fickle thing. It reveals truths to some that it does not to others. This is what it revealed to me.

"Their kiss should be only theirs. It should happen outdoors on a snowy day after a rowdy snowball fight. Harry would gingerly brush the snowflakes from her eyelashes and-- It should happen in a stairwell one night after dinner and studying in the library. Harry would grab her by the hand and pull her into a secluded corner. With a mischievous grin, he'll pull her to him and-- It should happen after a Quidditch game. Harry catches the Snitch and celebrates his victory by flying straight to her and grabbing her up World War II style. "

"He was right. She had experienced lust. Hermione lifted her chin and half-smiled at Snape. Her left eyebrow was raised, challenging Snape. See it. Look into my mind and see what I am showing you. You want to see how I lust? Look and see for yourself. "
