A/N: Hi again!! I decided to update early because I've had so many hits this month (over 10 000!!). I just saw twilight and it was awesome!! I've only read the first book, but I can't wait to read the rest. Has anyone else read the series? If not you really shoul. I was a bit reluctant to at first because I'm such a huge HP fan, but it's a great read. I seriously could not put it down.
So this is the Epilogue for The Long Road to Loving you, and what a long road it's been! I hope everyone likes the ending. Just a hint I'm a sucker for happily ever afters. Thank you all for sticking with me through this fic. It's been fun and all the reviews were greatly appreciated. For those of you who want to read more of my stories, I have a couple one shots you can check them out on my profile. I also have some short stories (Dramione) that I'll be porting in the next few months. Enjoy!
Disclaimer: For the last time (in this story) I DO NOT own Harry Potter!!!! :(
Epilogue
Hermione heard laughter in her parents' kitchen and hurried down to see who had arrived. The group of girls screamed excitedly when she got down; before pulling her back up to her bedroom to help her get prepared.
"Hermione, you go shower while we get ready," Ginny instructed as she pushed Hermione into the bathroom. Hermione usually would have protested at being ordered around in her own house, but she was far too nervous to care at the moment.
She started the shower and stepped in; letting the hot water relax her muscles. While she was showering an unexpected guest arrived.
"Girls, settle down," called Narcissa Malfoy as she entered the bedroom with Mrs. Granger.
The girls did as they were told and began to dress quickly, so they could help Hermione when she got out of the shower. The girls each put on their identical purple dresses. The dresses were floor length, with a halter style top. Once done, the girls did their hair and applied their makeup while Hermione dried off.
"Pansy dear, could you take the dress out of the bag," called Mrs. Granger. Pansy nodded before carefully taking the dress out and laying it gently on the bed. The girls all gathered round to see the dress. It was strapless and had a heart shaped top. The top half of the dress was covered in sparkles. Then at the waist the dress puffed out like a fairy tale princess' dress.
"I'm done," said Hermione as she exited the bathroom in her bathrobe.

"Man, you've been up here for fifteen minutes and you are still doing your hair," stated Blaise incredibly. Draco scowled at him, before checking his appearance in the mirror.
"Malfoy, if you stay in front of that mirror much longer you are going to miss your own wedding," joked Harry as he and Ron entered the room.
"At least I'm not spending my honeymoon searching for crumple horned snoraracks or whatever you and loony were doing," Draco replied. Ron and Blaise snorted.
"We didn't search for anything, we eloped to escape the pressure of the press," said Harry exasperatedly. No one was going to let him forget that they weren't invited to his wedding, even though it was just him, Luna, her dad and Sirius.
"What about you two," Harry rounded on Ron and Blaise.
"Double wedding," stated Blaise as though it was nothing new.
"When did that happened?" Draco asked, "And why weren't we invited?"
"Next May, and you weren't invited because we haven't sent out the invitations yet," added Ron.
"Imagine that, by this time next year we will all be married."

"Hermione you look absolutely beautiful," sighed her mother, with a tear in her eye.
"Mum, don't cry," Hermione said hugging her mother tightly. Her mother straightened up and smiled drying her eyes.
"Your right dear, come on we must do you hair."
Hermione stood in front of the mirror, while the women around her discussed what to do with her hair. Hermione smiled nervously as they went through spell after spell of different styles. Finally they decided to leave her hair curly and pull part of it back. Hermione's mother secured her tiara and veil on Hermione's head before they left for the ceremony,
***
Both Hermione and Draco became nervous once the music started. Draco stood stone still until he saw Hermione and her father walking towards him, he instantly smiled at her. They made eye contact and the butterflies filled Hermione's stomach. She joined him at the altar and the ceremony began.
Hermione felt like the ceremony flew by and before she knew it she heard, "I know pronounce you husband and wife. You may kiss the bride."
Draco kissed her tenderly on the lips and pulled away grinning. Then he whispered in her ear, "At least you didn't run away this time." Hermione laughed remembering their first kiss. She couldn't believe how fast the time had past, that had been three years ago. She definitely couldn't have predicted this at the time.
They left the ceremony holding each other closely. The crowd had gathered around them and began congratulating them. Hermione heard some sniggering and turned to see Draco blushing and Harry, Ron and Blaise smirking. She was about to ask what they said, but realized she really didn't want to know. After making their way through the crowd Draco helped her into the limo.
"We did it," Hermione said grinning at him. She remembered how people thought they weren't going to stay together, and now they were married.
"Finally," Draco replied before pulling her to him and kissing her again. The limo pulled away from the crowded ceremony and drove them to the hall for the reception. Hermione hear the DJ announce them before the entered, as Draco and Hermione Malfoy. She thought for a moment. She definitely liked the sound of that, Draco and Hermione Malfoy. And they lived happily ever after.
The End
