Pretty much, Ron failed his tests and Hermione was appointed tutor. Got it so far? Ok, well Harry and Ginny see them working and they think they have a connection so they play matchmaker and soon Ron and Hermione end up on a date, which went well with Harry and Ginny spying on them. Then Draco has to split them up, then Hermione gets sick and slowly dies, but she doesn't die ok? Voldemort arrives and tells them his plan and so he nearly succeeded but the trio was able to kill him and they graduated and Ron passed his tests and I left you guys off with Ron asking Hermione to meet him at the Burrow after graduation, what will happen next? Well here it is…

Disclaimer: I don't own Harry Potter, but I do own a picture that I tore out of a TV guide that had the trio in it! Does that count?

The Start of a New Beginning

Chapter 1: The Proposal (I think I gave it away now didn't I?)

Hermione had apparated to the doorstep of the Burrow to find Ron waiting for her

"Hey Hermione!"

"Hi,"

"Close your eyes."

"Ron! Come on!" Ron did a little replay of another date they had, by helping her on to a broom.

"Ron this is a broom isn't it!"

"You guessed correctly my lady, open your eyes." She did and Ron had just taken off on the broom

"This was just like our second date"

"Actually it's our first official date without Harry and Ginny spying on us!"
"True and it was my favorite date."

"Yeah,"

"Do you have a picnic waiting for us somewhere?"

"Yeah, and a little something more special?"

"Hmm, you left me clueless

"Good," They flew over the trees to the very same spot they had their second but first date.

"It's beautiful, Ron"

"I thought you'd like it."

They sat down and ate.

"So what was the main reason you wanted me to come?" said Hermione just as the sun was setting.

"Well," He helped her up, and held her hands "Hermione, I love you, and I want to spend the rest of my life with you" A smile and a few tears appeared on Hermione's face, "So, (he kneels and pulls out a box) Hermione Jane Granger, will you marry me?" She nods her head,

"Yes," and he puts the ring on her finger, it was a silver band with a diamond gem on it, it wasn't as big as liked but it was beautiful. She hugs him and they fell into a deep kiss, right as the sun was going down.

"Ron this is the best day of my life."

"Mine too, it took me forever to practice that, Harry tried everything to help me"

"Really do tell"

"Well," Ron recalls a flashback!

"Harry! I need your help!"

"What is it Ron?"

"I am going to propose to Hermione tonight and I need your help to practice"

"Ok,"

"Ok, you be Hermione ok? And I'll be me got it?"
"Uh-huh."

" Ok, ahem, uh, Hermione?"

"Yes Ron?" said Harry in his best imitation as Hermione, which was terrible.

"I can't do this!" Ron conjured up a brown wig and gave it to Harry

"Ok, let's start over, Hermione?"

"Yes, Ron?"

"I love you and I want to spend the rest of my life with you, will you marry me?" Just then Fred and George walked in laughing

"Oi! Our ikle Ronnikins is finally growing up!" said Fred

"And becoming lesbian!" said George

"Ewe! Knock it off I'm just practicing! I'm going to propose to Hermione tonight!"

"Oh, well, continue," said Fred sitting down with George.

"Uh, ok, Hermione? Answer the question please"

"Oh, yeah, um no,"

"NO! Harry! You're supposed to say yes!" Fred and George and rolling on the floor laughing

"Well, I was just preparing you in case she said no"

"Oh, well, thanks for the help Harry"

"No problem"

"It's over?" said George
"Yeah, can't you do it again so we can see Ronnikins face when he's rejected?"

"He, he, he, that was funny"

"Yeah, I can't wait to tell Fred and George that you said yes"

"Yep they were wrong"

"Well, we should break the news to our families"

"Yes, let's go round them up"

"We could all meet at my house tomorrow, I've hooked up our Chimney to the floo network so it can work"

"Ok, see you tomorrow then."

"Ok," She disapparated and Ron flew home.

A/N: I know it's a little short, but I surprised myself when I read it again, it nearly brought tears to my eyes, the chapters will be a little longer and well next chapter, Ron and Hermione break the news to their folks so the sooner you review, the faster I'll update!
