In Love

Chp. 1 Dance the night away

It had been a year after the war ended and I was staying with the Weasley's in the burrow until St. Mungo's could fully cure my parents.

I was relaxing on the red velvet armchair in front of the burning fire as I turned the page of a muggle novel I was reading. The bright fire lit up the small living room belonging to the Weasley's. My brown eyes darted from word to word and I was so engrossed in the book I didn't realise a ginger haired head peek over the top of the armchair examining the unfamiliar muggle book. "What on earth is an iPod?" asked a curious puzzled Ron Weasley. I jumped with fright and dropped the book on the floor before my head whizzed around and I stared into two blue eyes covered with a ginger fringe.
"Ronald!" I hissed, "don't you EVER scare me like that again or else I'll wake up teddy for goodness sake!"
"Sorry Mione..." whispered Ron with a cheeky grin spreading across his face, "It was just a joke!".
"Well it scared me out of my skin!" I said picking up my book and wiping the dust off of it.
"So..." Said Ron.
"What?!" I asked flinging the book down on coffee table.
"What's an iPod?" Asked Ron as he sat himself down on the purple armchair next to me.
"Um... It's a small electronic tablet that...um...plays songs." I answered pulling my own green iPod out of my pocket, amused by how puzzled and amazed Ron was as he took the iPod and held it carefully in his hands as if it were some extremely expensive precious vase.
"How'd you work it?" Asked Ron as he turned it over in his hand staring at the black screen and the circle in the center with four buttons.
"Here" I said as I pressed the center button and the white light filled the screen. I played my favourite muggle song to him as he danced in his seat with joy.
"That thing's bloody brilliant! Can I have a go?" Asked Ron as he snatched it from my hands and started fiddling around with the buttons.
"Sure." I answered as I sat back in my armchair and watched Ron gaze into the white screen.

Ron played a slow song and put the iPod down on the table. He held out his sweaty hand and I took it as he pulled me up from the armchair and gracefully danced with me around the room trying not to bump into anything. I closed my eyes and thought of how I wished this could never end. As the song ended Ron led me to the kitchen and sat down by the window sill with me. I looked out the window into the blue skied night and then into the two blue nervous eyes in front of me.

I loved Ron and that was all I needed to know to have a happy life.
