Romione is the het ship between Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger from the Harry Potter fandom.
Canon[]
Hermione meets Ron and Harry on the Hogwarts Express in her first year. She and Ron quickly develop a mutual annoyance, but become friends after Ron insults her and she is threatened by a troll, from which Harry and Ron save her. The three become a tight-knit group, with Ron and Hermione bickering a lot and showing signs of romantic interest in each other, culminating in their fourth year when Ron is jealous of Hermione's date and later boyfriend, despite Hermione wanting to go with Ron. This escalates in their sixth year, where Harry often feels caught in the middle of their frustrated arguments, but they finally act on their feelings during the Battle of Hogwarts.
First Year[]
When Ron first met Hermione on the Hogwarts Express at the beginning of their first year, he found her annoying because she "showed off" and regularly recited the school rules. His first thought was that he didn't want to be in her house, and he groaned when she was sorted into Gryffindor. Later, he informed others of his annoyance with her and mentioned that it wasn't surprising that she didn't have any friends, which she overheard. Hurt, Hermione hid in the bathroom and cried until Harry and Ron saved her from a troll that had been let into Hogwarts by Professor Quirrell. After the troll incident, Hermione lied to Professor McGonagall to keep Harry and Ron out of trouble. From that point on, the trio became best friends, despite Ron and Hermione's tendency to bicker.
Second Year[]
Ron first began to show signs of romantic interest in Hermione in their second year; he was irritated by her crush on Professor Gilderoy Lockhart, became so angry when Draco Malfoy called her a "Mudblood" that he tried to hex him, and was even more upset than Harry when she was one of the Basilisk's victims.
Third Year[]
Ron and Hermione had their first real fight when Ron accused Hermione's cat, Crookshanks, of eating his pet rat, Scabbers, which had gone missing. The two stopped speaking for a time, but reconciled after Hagrid scolded Ron and Harry for their treatment of Hermione; Ron offered to help her with Buckbeak's trial, and Hermione hugged him. During their Defense Against the Dark Arts class, when Professor Lupin was "ill" and Professor Snape was teaching instead, Ron was the only person who had the courage to stand up to Snape when he called Hermione an "insufferable know-it-all".
Fourth Year[]
In their fourth year, Ron and Hermione's romantic feelings for each other began to grow and become more obvious. Hermione was jealous of Ron's crush on Fleur Delacour, the Beauxbatons Veela Champion, and Ron was jealous of Viktor Krum, with whom Hermione went to the Yule Ball after Ron failed to ask Hermione in time and then insulted her with his clumsy attempt to do so. Hermione's frustration at Ron's failure to recognize and act on his feelings grew.
Fifth Year[]
Hermione once comments that Ron has "the emotional range of a teaspoon". Ron is visibly affected when Hermione kisses him on the cheek before his first Quidditch match, and is annoyed that Hermione is corresponding with Viktor Krum.
Sixth Year[]
Their sixth year would be a difficult time for Ron and Hermione. When Hermione and Harry were invited to the Slug Club while Professor Slughorn ignored Ron, Ron became resentful and jealous. He brightened up considerably after Hermione asked him to go with her to Slughorn's Christmas party. However, Ron had an argument with his sister after he caught her making out with Dean Thomas, during which she revealed that Hermione had made out with Viktor Krum sometime during their fourth year. Ron began to act cold towards Hermione. In an attempt to boost Ron's confidence for an upcoming Quidditch match, Harry pretended to slip some Felix Felicis into Ron's morning pumpkin juice, giving Ron the desired placebo effect that kept his nerves from affecting his performance as Keeper. Harry had managed to trick Hermione into thinking that he had given Ron a drop of Felix Felicis as well, and she scolded both Harry and Ron for gaining an unfair advantage in the game. Though Ron had initially believed that the Felix was behind his flawless performance, when Harry revealed that he had not actually slipped anything into Ron's drink, Ron accused Hermione of not having faith in his abilities and began to ignore her completely.
All of this caused Ron to begin a superficial relationship with Lavender Brown. Hurt and angry, Hermione summoned a flock of canaries to attack Ron, after which the two did not speak for months. Hermione even retaliated by attending the aforementioned Christmas party with Cormac McLaggen, an older Gryffindor whom Ron despised, just to annoy Ron. By this time, Ron had grown tired of his relationship with the very clingy Lavender. When Ron was accidentally poisoned with mead on his birthday, Hermione forgot her anger in her concern for him and stayed by his side until he recovered. Ron looked forward to her visits, pretending to be asleep whenever Lavender came to see him. During one of Lavender's visits, Ron repeated Hermione's name in his sleep, causing her to become very quiet. By the time Ron was allowed to leave the hospital wing, he and Hermione were closer than ever, and the former's romance with Lavender quickly ended when Lavender saw Ron and Hermione coming down from the boys' dormitory together, while Harry was with them under his Invisibility Cloak. At the end of the year, their mutual affection was evident when Ron gently comforted Hermione as she cried on his shoulder at Dumbledore's funeral.
Seventh Year[]
The two became much closer, though according to Harry they were only "sort of" together. They danced together at Bill and Fleur's wedding, where Ron also showed his continuing jealous dislike of Viktor Krum, who was a guest. During the search for the Horcruxes with Harry, Ron comforted Hermione several times by putting his arm around her, and the two were generally friendly to each other; Harry even suspected that they had fallen asleep holding hands in Grimmauld Place, after waking up to find their hands were barely an inch apart.
Hermione fell asleep hand-in-hand at 12 Grimmauld Place. When Remus Lupin told them about the Ministry's crackdown on Muggle-borns, Ron offered to vouch for her by telling people that Hermione was his cousin, and Hermione lovingly touched his hand, reminding him that they were on the run with the most wanted wizard in Britain. When Ron temporarily left his friends, Hermione cried for him for weeks; Ron was able to return by hearing Hermione's voice saying his name through his Deluminator. When Ron destroyed the locket Horcrux, it taunted him with visions of his greatest fears, one of which was that Hermione preferred Harry to him. Hermione was initially furious with Ron for leaving her, to the point of physically attacking him, though she eventually forgave him.
Later, when the trio was taken to Malfoy Manor, Bellatrix Lestrange isolated Hermione for interrogation by torture. Ron begged in vain to be taken in her place, and after being thrown into the cellar, Hermione's screams from above caused Ron to cry out her name in agony, eventually bringing him to tears. During the Battle of Hogwarts, Hermione was touched when Ron expressed concern for the castle's house-elves, whom she had always worried about, and initiated a kiss, to which Ron responded very enthusiastically.
Sometime after the end of the Second Wizarding War, they married and had two children, their first and only daughter, Rose, and their second and only son, Hugo.
Children[]
Ron and Hermione have two children who appear both in the epilogue of the seventh novel and in Harry Potter and the Cursed Child.
Rose Granger-Weasley
Rose "Rosie" Granger-Weasley (born between September 1, 2005 and August 31, 2006) was a half-blood witch and the first and only daughter of Ron and Hermione. In her early childhood she was the best friend of her cousin Albus Potter.
Rose began attending Hogwarts in 2017, the same year as Albus, and was sorted into Gryffindor. After Albus was sorted into Slytherin and became best friends with Scorpius Malfoy, Rose distanced herself from her former best friend. In 2018, during her second year, she became a Chaser on the Gryffindor Quidditch team.
Hugo Granger-Weasley
Hugo Granger-Weasley (born sometime after August 2008) was a half-blood wizard and the second and only son of Ronald Weasley and Hermione Granger.
In 2017, he accompanied his parents to see his sister and two cousins off to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Hugo and Lily shared an eagerness to go to Hogwarts, even though they were both too young. At King's Cross Station, the two had "an animated discussion about which house they would be sorted into when they finally went to Hogwarts".
Hugo began attending Hogwarts in 2019.
