Hermione watches Ron's eyes close, his breathing slowly even out and fall into a steady rhythm. She smiles.

They're okay. They made it.

Ron loves her.

Leaning forwards, Hermione presses her lips to his forehead softly, lingering perhaps a second longer than is wise.

"I love you, too." she tells his sleeping form. "So much."

A/N: Thanks you so much for reading! This is by far the longest one-shot I've ever written (I know it's in three parts but I wrote it as a whole and then split it up so it still counts okay) and I'm actually pretty proud of it ^-^ Comments/reviews much appreciated- I'd love to know what you thought! And finally, a big thanks to stuckwith-harry aka jessie on tumblr who has made my life a million times better just by being a part of it 3 ily dork
