This is a really sweet story. You captured both Ron and Hermione very well here in their conversations and actions. This is a great moment that often gets overlooked. They would definitely have to deal with the fallout of that kiss. I also now sort of ship Charlie and Lavender.

I liked Ron’s characterization in this. Sure, he’s a little thick and not the greatest with communication, but his heart’s in the right place and he does care for Hermione. I could easily see Ron assuming he made his feelings clear on the matter just by kissing her and Hermione overthinking it and needing to discuss it further.

You could ease up with using “Ronald” so much... I find in natural conversation, people rarely use the other person’s name. This also felt forced since he’s rarely called by his full name in the books. Maybe the occasional "Ronald!" by Hermione or his mother, but not that often.

Cheers! :)

This story does really well capturing the back and forth between Ron and Hermione. Ron *is* a bit thick about what Hermione is feeling and Hermione is a bit quick to jump to conclusions and slow to reveal what she's really thinking, but they both really do love each other. I also like how you included the pairing of Charlie and Lavender. I like to believe that she survived the war and found love and I think fun, brave Weasley like Charlie would be good for her.

Very nice

Nice story!

Aww this was cute :) Well, the second part was, the beginning was kind of depressing :p
Also, I thought your beginning (the whole part where you explained about the funeral) felt a bit forced whereas your second part, with the characters interacting seems much more natural, and so it has a different flow and it's much nicer to read :)
I didn't expect the CharlieLavender pairing but it does seem nice too - might have to go look for more at some point. I really liked that Hermione took the initiative to confront Ron about their shared feelings and how their relationship should progress. I think that's exactly something she would have done ;)
I did notice that you had written "no 'one" in your very last sentence, but other than that no mispelling or anything like that.
This was a nice story :)
Cheers!
