Romione’s third kiss

How do you think Ron and Hermione’s second kiss was?

I think it was comforting, quiet, and filled with love. I headcanon their second kiss being not long after they have that meet-up with Harry at the end of the battle. Ron checks in with his family, then they go to get some sleep in Gryffindor tower. They’re holding hands, and treading up the stairs, when he pulls her into an alcove and the early morning sun is hitting her hair. He just needs to look at her for a bit. 

He doesn’t have any doubt anymore about where they stand, while she’s more shy and uncertain as she was the one to kiss him and has been withholding on this end. He puts his hand up to her cheek and rubs away a bit of grit there, just sort of beholding her- then quietly kisses her and tells her how glad he is she’s ok. He might get a bit raw then, emotionally, because he came so close to losing her and just lost Fred, and she gets overcome and has to kiss him their third time with fervor. She needs to show him how they’re alive, and they’re ok. There is so much emotion and love put into that kiss. 

They laugh after at themselves and go to gryffindor tower- for a moment they think about going to different dorm steps- but they don’t want to be apart- it’s too frightening a prospect to be alone right after everything they went through. They don’t even clean off really- they just take off their gross jackets and shoes and collapse onto a bed in the boy’s dorm to sleep. Other days or nights this might be awkward or sexually charged- but right now, in this moment- it’s all about comfort and exhaustion.
