Commission for patron at my patreon! 🙂 (link in bio)
‘Ron proposing to Hermione’

It was an open prompt- so I had to think out ‘er, how would this go down?’  I didn’t have a firm headcanon of it- it’s fluid. I have a lot of varied ideas- 

My main solid idea was that he wouldn’t wait all that long to propose to her- like within a year or so of the final battle. It’s after a war- they’ve been through enough stuff that their souls are pretty old- So they’re not older than 19/20 or so here. 

Scenario: he takes Hermione for a fly and a picnic a bit after her graduation. They need a bit of a break from Auror stuff and she has a few weeks before all her work kicks in. He’s had the ring on him for a while as he just can’t seem to pick the right way to propose- the right moment. In some ways he feels like it’s daft to propose at all- they’re so young! But then they’re out there, and the sun is setting, and she’s looking so beautiful and she’s saying something like- ‘Today was perfect. Wouldn’t it be wonderful if we could just spend all our time like this, just the two of us?’ blah blah blah talking about stuff they’ve been through, talking about their future together. 

And before he knows it he’s talking about their future too- and they’re both sort of going off on tangents about the future they picture together- and it’s getting pretty detailed- just both dancing around the whole marriage thing… then he’s like- you know what? This is it. This is the moment. 

And he decides right then to propose- that would be in their future together. And she cries, and he cries a bit and it’s super romantic. 

1, 2, and 19 for the sweet asks, please!

Hi @restlessandordinary ! Thanks for sending these and sorry it took so long to answer! 🙂

1. What’s your OTP in your fandom(s)? What do you love about them?

Ron x Hermione in HP, a.k.a. Romione, aka The Good Ship, aka my literal loves and one true obsession along with being my OTP. 

I could, and have, written ad nauseam about how incredible and perfect and amazing and wonderful and I could go on forever and ever about why Romione is the ultimate OTP of OTPs, but I honestly am trying to restrain myself for once. 

In my best attempt at a TL;DR, Ron and Hermione and just as similar as they are different. They are passionate and complicated and rooted in a deep admiration and love for each other borne from friendship that makes them feel truthful and real. Their relationship is a slow-burn, friends-to-lovers, will-they-won’t-they goldmine that is exciting to read and write about. They balance one another and I truly believe they make each other better people (also, they were literal kids who then went through a war when they first met and fell in love so obviously they will grow and change and I truly believe they understand each other in a way that no one else ever could). 

Honestly? They’re just… SO GOOD. 

2) What’s a headcanon you love for your OTP?

Oh man, what isn’t a headcanon I love for my OTP? I’ve shared a few before, so here’s one I haven’t (which also happens to be an idea I have for a one-shot). This one concerns the ridiculous origins of Ron and Hermione’s pet names for one another.

In the early stages of their relationship, Ron and Hermione are uncharacteristically non-confrontational, especially right after the Battle of Hogwarts. Emotionally and mentally spent, as well as physically, they’re focused on taking care of each other, those around them, and themselves. They’re also a little nervous – they spent a long time dancing around their feelings and trying to hide them, while also being painfully aware of how increasingly difficult that was becoming, and testing each other’s boundaries because they wanted to be together but didn’t know how to just say so out loud. Fighting, or more accurately, bickering and debating, while usually a totally normal part of their communication-style, suddenly feels off-limits because they are new in their relationship and really trying to be on their best behavior. They don’t want to mess this up.

Eventually when they finally have their first “fight,” it’s sparked by something silly – a dumb squabble about nothing that quickly snowballs into a screaming match. And at the peak of it, because my babies are angry and petty, they resort to calling each other names. But not just any old names, mind you. Oh, no. 

Hermione and Ron, my beautiful, jealous, madly-in-love children who are scared and hurt and still trying to figure out how to be together, pull out the embarrassing nicknames their respective exes used. 

Hermione mockingly calls Ron Won-Won. Ron sneers and calls Hermione Hermy-own-ninny.

They glare at one another, still fuming, but then they start laughing and can’t stop. And when they finally calm down, they sit and they talk. They talk and talk and talk – and at that moment, they reach a sort of relationship milestone. 

In time, because they think it’s hilarious and weird and oddly-fitting, they start calling each other Won-Won and Hermy-own-ninny every time they start to get on each other nerves. It never fails to stop them both in their tracks and remind them to slow down and reassess and actually communicate. Eventually, the nicknames – the names that were previously the cause of so much hurt and jealous rage – start to bleed into their everyday interactions. They’re used in a tongue-in-cheek way and as a means of affectionately teasing one another, and then become oddly sweet and affectionate. 

Ron and Hermione love each other so much and the ability to look at their embarrassing and petty behaviors from their past and grow up and move on together is a big reason why they’re perfect for each other. And the odd choice of pet names is a great example of it. 

For the record, the first time Harry heard them call each other Won-Won and Hermy-own-ninny, he choked on his drink. 

19. How has fandom positively changed your life?

Oh my God, there aren’t enough words. Harry Potter and the HP fandom have changed my life in big and small ways and there is literally no way I can ever attempt to describe it. I love this fandom, even on the bad days, and I am so wildly grateful for it. I just… yeah. For once, I’m legitimately speechless 🙂

Thanks for the ask!!!

Headcanon:Possesiveness

Hi! I’m the same guy who did the unsung hero headcanon and chess headcanon. I read some head canons where Ron is possessive of Hermione but none where Hermione is possessive of Ron.

Hermione is super possessive of Ron in a number of ways here are some of them.

  1. She wakes Ron up in the middle of the night to ask him if their marriage was real and not a dream. (Ron always says yes)
  2. In charity events and parties the couple agreed that Ron always must dance three dances with Hermione first before anyone else Harry included.
  3. At a bar when a girl tried to chat Ron up, Hermione gave her the death stare and pulled out her wand in the middle of the bar.
  4. That same night Hermione sung a song while drunk called Ron you are mine!!
  5. At benefit Quidditch matches Hermione wears a shirt that says “Weasley is my king”.
  6. She cheers the loudest when Ron blocks a quaffle and says “that’s my husband ladies, bugger off!!”
  7. Hermione always wants Ron beside him in anything.
  8. She insists on watching movies with no one else so she can snog him during kissing scenes.
  9. When they were mobbed by fans in Diagon Alley a girl ran past the crowd and kissed Ron on the lips. Hermione screamed and hexed her so bad that it made Marietta Edgecombe’s rash look like a mosquito bite.
  10. When Ron asked why she is so possessive she breaks down and with tears in her eyes explains that she fears one day that Ron will leave because she’s not good enough. Ron kisses her and says her understands because he felt the same way once.

Thank you so much for submitting! Aside from the physical violence (which I personally find a bit squicky), these are all great! I love seeing jealous!Hermione in action, since she’s so funny at times. 

Thanks again for submitting!

Romione phone call headcanon

hillnerd:

So, Ron couldn’t call Harry again because of the whole ‘whoops was yelling at Vernon Dursley’ thing. I think he’d still want to get better at it, since he flummoxed it up so badly. 

So there would be nothing keeping him from calling Hermione. He didn’t have much of a chance to do it their third year, with him in Egypt and Hermione in France- but the following years he did. It’d come up one night by the common room fire, when Harry is off having lessons with Lupin. He’d still be a bit embarrassed about it.

“Well, maybe we can practice phone calls this summer,” says Hermione, eyes suddenly bright.

“I dunno. I don’t want to get Harry in trouble. That Uncle of his–”

“No no. Not You and Harry. You and me.”

It would be purely for getting better at calling people, and not because she would love to hear his voice before she comes to visit over the summer.

Who knows, maybe Harry’s relatives will let him have a phone call.

So the following summer they begin practicing phone calls. Ron is given fair warning not to yell into the set, so it goes really smoothly. Honestly, he doesn’t need to practice after the first time, but neither he nor Hermione want to stop them. So a few times a week he hoofs it into the village to call Hermione, and she has stolen the phone from the guest room to have in her room.

“You’re at the age where you’re having long calls with boys. Oh dear!” her mother teases.

“It’s not boys. It’s only Ron,” Hermione says with a large blush.

She really could have stopped writing him, but there’s something fun about doing both, then talking about the letter they received. She thought they might have nothing to talk about, but they actually have loads. Each phone call gets longer and longer. 

“You know what, at first I thought they’d be barmy, but I actually like telephone calls!” Ron says into the receiver. “I just wish I could see you, though. That makes floo calling a bit better.”

“Oh! We could see eachother better! Let’s practice Floo calls! I’ve never done one, and I don’t want to be the only witch at Hogwarts who doesn’t know how.”

Ron is silent a moment. 

The telephone calls are private… This would be in the middle of their living room. It’s just Hermione, but he doesn’t want to share ehr with the rest of the house, or worse, the twins.

 “Alright. But it’ll have to be after everyone goes to bed, otherwise it’s too crazy here for us to talk.”

A time is agreed upon, he sends her some powder via Pig, and they have call lessons that way too. He gets to see Hermione’s face, even though it looks like it’s on fire, and visa versa. By that point it’s nearly time for her to be there in person, which is by far the best way to communicate with Hermione. She gives him a large hug as she enters their home, and he returns it with gusto, even though his ears are burning.

The next summers they don’t stop their phone lessons.

YES! ALL OF THIS!

headcanonsandmore:

In the summer before
Harry’s second year, just after Harry and Hagrid got out of Knockturn Alley and
ran into Hermione, some of the soot from Harry’s Floo-Powder experience had ended
up all over Hermione’s clothes and face (it was very windy that day).

Ron turned up,
slightly ahead of the rest of his family.

‘Harry- are you okay?’
Ron exclaimed, looking relieved ‘Oh- hi Hermione- good to see yo- what the?You’re both
covered in soot!’

Ron pulled out a
handkerchief from his pocket, spat into it, and began wiping the soot from
Harry’s cheek.

‘Geroff, Ron, I’m fine!’
Harry muttered, trying to fight him off. Trust Ron to start acting
like a mother-hen…

‘Well, now you are!’
muttered Ron, removing his handkerchief from Harry’s face ‘Honestly- I turn my
back for five minutes and you two look like you’ve gone through a coal-mine!’

‘Ron…’ Harry gasped,
looking surprised ‘What are you doing?’

‘What? How do you
mean-?’

Ron broke off. He had
started dabbing Hermione’s cheek with the handkerchief, and was firmly but softly cupping her
face with his other hand. Hermione’s face was turning a bright pink
colour, and her eyes had grown to the size of dinner-plates.

Ron immediately let go
of her face, and stuffed the handkerchief back into his pocket, his face
burning.

‘Sorry’ he mumbled, not
meeting Hermione’s eyes.

Harry stifled a giggle
behind his hand, as the rest of the Weasley family neared them.

Hermione tenderly touched the spot where Ron’s hand had been, her face still pink. 

drarry-romione:

So like Romione head canons if I may

• Ron asking Hermione on a date to the library and Hermione declining, only because if she goes she knows she won’t end up paying attention to Ron and she doesn’t want to upset him

• So she tells him that and she says “oh, alright,” but secretly being upset because he really wanted to go because he likes watching Hermione read and seeing her face light up at all the different books

• Hermiome inviting Ron to her house for the summer one year and Arthur constantly owling Ron for information about Muggles until Hermione gets so fed up that she invites all the Weasley’s over, not intending for it to be a “meet the family,” until realizing that her and Ron’s parents are going to meet

• Ron freaking out about this fact until Hermione hugs him before his family arrives and says, “I don’t care what my parents think of your family because I think they’re wonderful. And actually, my parents think quite like me so they ought to agree.”

• The families meeting going entirely too well and the Grangers inviting the Weasley’s to stay with them next summer

• The Weasley’s accept, only when the Grangers agree to spend Christmas Holiday with them

• Ron being so excited that their families get on because it means that he’ll never have to worry about family issues with Hermione

• Hermione spending that Christmas with the Weasley’s (so do her parents) and then Ron deciding he wants to spend the rest of his Christmas’s and holidays and life with Hermione

• Hermione wanting the same thing so she writes about it in a journal that she doesn’t mean for Ron to find

• Hermione accidentally leaving the journal on Ron’s bed at the burrow one night when she spends the night in Ginny’s room for a “girls night”

• Ron finding the journal and being so excited that Hermione feels the same way that he goes to Mr. and Mrs. Granger that same night (it’s like 4:00 am at this point) and asking if he can marry their daughter

• The Grangers being so confused as to why this bloody red head woke them up for this question when he already knew what they’d say that they tell him no as a joke, and not saying anything about it for a few days

• Ron being the daft idiot he is (jk love Ron but seriously) believing that the Grangers really said no

• Ron being so upset that he stays in his room for days crying and hiding, how can he spend the rest of his life without his Mione

• Hermione being so worried and upset about Ron missing that she storms into his room mad, until she sees the love of her life laying on his bed crying, holding her journal and reading it to himself

• Hermione running over to him and hugging him hard, taking the journal from his hands and asking him why he’s crying when all she’s done in that journal is talked about how much she loves him

• Ron telling Hermione what happened and then saying that he was reading the journal over and over so he would know that she felt the same way about him, even if her parents didn’t

• Hermione being so pissed about the event that she goes to her parents who are sitting in the living room, talking with Molly and Arthur, and raising her voice to them because she is so beyond mad

• Hermione yelling, with tears down her face, “WHY WOULD YOU TELL RON HE COULDNT MARRY ME, HES BEEN NOTHING BUT GOOD AND KIND AND WONDERFUL TO ME AND YOU KNOW HOW MUCH I LOVE HIM AND CAN CLEARLY SEE HOW MUCH HE LOVES ME, WHY WOULD YOU EVER SAY HE COULDNT MARRY ME? HES THE ONLY MAN I WANT TO MARRY AND I KNOW THAT, I COULD MEET EVERY MAN ON THIS EARTH AND STILL ONLY WANT RON”

• Hermione’s parents staring at their screaming, crying daughter and bursting into laughter

• Hermione yelling again “WHY THE BLOODY HELL WOULD YOU LAUGH AT THAT?”

• Her parents explaining that they were joking as Ron runs down the stairs to grab his screaming girlfriend and pausing as they say they were joking

• Ron bursting into tears again, this time happy tears, and finishing his run to Hermione

• Ron picking her up and hugging her so hard and saying into her ear “I love you so much Mione,” and then looking at his parents with such pride and happiness and asking them if they approve of Hermione

• Arthur and Molly just laughing and saying “We’ve approved of sweet Hermione since the first owl you sent us calling her a mental lunatic dear”

• everyone in the room laughing and crying and Ron kissing Hermione with so much passion she forgets about all the suffering and all the hurt and pain they’ve ever been through

• after the even Ron plans to propose to Hermione

• He comes up with a plan and asks her again on a date to the library

• Hermione trying to say no again but Ron telling her he wants to watch her read because she’s beautiful when she does and she was reading when he first realized he loved her

• Hermione blushing and saying “oh fine you sap”

• Ron going to madam Pince and asking if she can hide the copy of “Hogwarts: a history” for the night so he can put a copy in its place, knowing it’ll be one of the books Hermione looks for

• as expected, 2 hours of reading and book browsing into the date Hermione walks over to where the book is and taking it off the shelf

• Hermione sighing and asking Ron “why haven’t you read this wonderful book?” And Ron asking her to read it to him

•So they take the book and sit down on a bench in the library and Hermione reading the first ten pages or so like a normal book, then turning the page to keep reading

• She starts to read the page but stops when she sees its Ron’s handwriting instead of the books print

• Ron asking if he can read that part to her and he reads the letter

• Ron wipes Hermione’s tears away and telling her to turn the page

• Hermione does so and sees another bit of writing from Ron, followed by a flap of paper in the book

• Ron sliding off the bench and getting on one knee, propping the book on his knee and reading to her again

• “So Mione, now I ask you the most important question, more important that anything on the OWLS or NEWTS, more important than any test question ever. Will you, Hermione Jean Granger, make me the happiest git alive, and take my hand in marriage?”

•Hermione nodding with tears down her face as she fights the grin on her face

• Ron lifting the flap in the book and pulling out a ring from the hole he cut out of the pages

• Ron slipping the golden band with white diamonds onto Hermione’s ring finger and reads her the inscriptions

•the inside of the band says “wingardium leviOsa, flick and swish” and the outer band saying “for my mione”

*Happy Romione fanboy sobbing*

Love your Tumblr! (Romione of course too!) Could you please do headcanons of them being awkward around each other? Maybe when they first started dating or 4th, 5th, 6th year at Hogwarts? Maybe one (or both) of them getting extremely flustered at something that the other person did or said.

Thank you! Glad you
like my content!

Of course; hope you
like these!

During the lead-up to
the third year exams, Ron noticed that Hermione wasn’t eating at diner. They
started bickering about it, ending up with Ron holding a spoon-full of rice
pudding up to Hermione’s mouth. The rest of the Gryffindor table burst into
laughter, and Hermione sunk low into her seat, blushing like a tomato.

At the start of fourth
year, Hermione was trying to tame her bushy hair, and a curly strand happened
to fall down her face. Without thinking, Ron curled the strand behind her ear.
Noticing her confused expression, Ron felt his ears go red, and he hastily
dropped his hand.

When Viktor Krum kissed
her (a small peck on the lips), Hermione had a mental image of red hair and
freckles. She became so flustered that she hurriedly pulled away from Krum,
mumbled ‘good night’, and hurried off back to the Gryffindor common-room. The
next time she saw Ron, she dropped several books that she was holding, and
couldn’t look him in the eye.

In the second half of
fourth year, Ron developed a tendency to stare at Hermione when she was
reading. He didn’t realise he was doing it until she noticed and blushed
scarlet. Ron hurriedly left the room, his heart hammering against his chest.

In fifth year, Hermione
had a habit of tripping over her own feet and falling into Ron. Harry kept
giggling as he watched his two friends blush furiously.

Hermione once walked in
on Ron having a bath in the prefect’s bathroom. Since his hair was over his
eyes at the time, he never realised. But Hermione spent the next week unable to
look him the eye, without remembering the way her heart had jumped into her
mouth as she watched him bathe.

After McGonagall came
across the two bickering during a prefect patrol, she insisted that they ‘avoid
flirting during prefect duties’. Ron and Hermione both turned red, and avoided
each other’s eyes for the next week. Harry didn’t mention it because it wasn’t
relevant to his journey.

Ron almost murmured
Hermione’s name when Lavender was kissing him for the first time. His ears went
red, and he pulled away from Lavender. Thankfully, Lavender thought he was just
being shy.

After their first kiss,
Ron and Hermione kept accidentally bumping hands as they picked up the basilisk
fangs. As their hands met, their eyes did too; resulting in both of them
grinning giddily, their faces red.

On their first date
(which was to Hogsmeade), they ended up having a ten-minute conversation on
repairing vacuum cleaners because both of them were incredibly nervous. Eventually,
they burst out laughing, Ron put his arm round Hermione’s shoulders and
Hermione kissed him on the cheek.

Thanks for the ask, anon; hope you liked those!

Thank you! Glad you like them!

small romione things that weren’t mentioned in the books because they weren’t relevant to harry’s journey

literallycheese:

jkr sucks at writing romance so here are things that probably happened but she just didn’t put them in the books because she assumed that jealousy was a better way to convey two people caring about each other than, you know, seeing them caring about each other:

– after easter break ron comments that hermione’s new haircut looks good and she spends the next week smiling a little whenever she looks in a mirror

– when ron can’t figure out a charm hermione gets into the habit of putting her hand on his to correct his form. once they realize they like each other this habit gets a lot more awkward as they both fumble and harry pretends not to notice

– in sixth year every time harry has a private lesson with dumbledore and ron and hermione stay up waiting for him, ron gets hermione to put her studying away and play chess with him

– ron loves the look on hermione’s face when she’s pretending not to be annoying at herself for losing yet again

– she thinks he’s just being smug over his victory

– they’re at hogsmeade and hermione forgets her scarf, so ron gives her his

– hermione returns it almost two months later, looking sheepish

– ron looks at hermione when he gets a spell right on his first try and blushes so hard when she grins back at him

– hermione glances at ron when she gets yet another question right in class

– ron has a tiny little smile on his face that he would deny to hell and back that he gets when listening to hermione spout textbook definitions

– hermione cheers so loudly when ron blocks the quaffle even though she brought a book and has been reading for most of the match

– when harry points out that she never cheered for him catching the snitch, she gets oddly snappish

– and many more! never forget that ron and hermione may have argued a lot, but they were really close friends and really enjoyed each other’s company

YES! YES TO ALL OF THIS!

How was Ron and Hermione’s first date?

hillyminne:

I think it went well! 😀
So in my mind, they don’t have a ‘proper’ date for a bit. The war just ended, there’s funerals and all sorts of crap going on.

I imagine their first ‘real date’ taking place in Australia.

So up until the date, they’re really just coexisting as they usually do- only with a lot more touching, emotional vulnerability, kisses and tender looks. I even imagine they had some unofficial dates just the two of them because Harry was too busy- only they didn’t realize they probably counted as dates because they’re oblivious, and they also weren’t thinking like that.

So, the date itself:

I picture Hermione nervously asking Ron if he wants to get dinner with her that night- and he just sort of smiles incredulously, saying “Wasn’t planning on eating with a hotel porter, now was I?”

“No, I mean for… We could have dinner together as a date.”

“As a date?” Ron suddenly feels a bit nervous. He’s supposed to pay for that, right? He can’t afford a place that’s expensive. Should he dress fancy? Should he get flowers?

“If you don’t want to–” she begins.

“No, I want to!”

So! I think the first 20 minutes or so were stilted for a bit, because they know how to be together, but don’t quite know how to ‘be a COUPLE’ in public. Ron is overthinking things and trying to be extra chivalrous– He pulls out her chair, has her sit on it before it’s close to the table, then realizes it’s hard to move when she’s sitting on it already, ends up almost pushing her OUT of the chair. Hermione suddenly can’t think of anything to say and starts reading the menu as if it’s a very precious document that must be closely studied.

They look across the room to see another couple on a very obviously bad first date, and start observing the other couple and providing false dialogue for them. This helps them start to laugh a bit at themselves a bit and after that they have a marvelous time, walk along the beach a bit and find some shells, and end the evening with a kiss at Hermione’s hotel room door. Then they go into their rooms, but realize they never closed the adjoining door, so they laugh and then just hang out like old times, which they both prefer to dates, truth be told.
