One Year Later

Hermione was getting ready for her one year anniversary date with Ron. Georgie had come over to help Hermione prepare. Georgie wasn't completely comfortable with the magic world, but she was getting there. Hermione still tried not to use too much magic in front of her, but she didn't hold back the way she used to when she had to pretend to be a muggle.

"So where is prince charming taking you tonight?"

"Don't know, he says it's a surprise."

"Ooh...I love surprises. Wish Seamus would give me a few."

"What him being a wizard wasn't enough for you?" Hermione laughed. Georgie in turn threw a pillow at her."

"You know what I mean."

She smiled at her friend and continued to get dressed.

"So are you going to Luna and Rolfs wedding?"

"Yes, she's asked me to be in it, I was a bit shocked really, but I don't think she has a lot of girlfriends. I said I would, are you and Seamus going?"

"Nah, we can't, after her and Dean split he hasn't really been the same. Seamus said that Dean would kill him if he were to go. Bit sad really. You'd think that after all this time he could be okay with it. Now that I know them both, I don't know how they lasted as long as they did."

Hermione laughed, "me either."

"We're going to Neville's though; you're in that too right?"

"Yeah, I can't wait till all these weddings are over and I don't have to be in anymore. It is trying and expensive. Hannah is such a good friend though and I couldn't say no to her either."

"Well when or, I guess I should say if, it is my turn you are going to have to be in that one too. Sorry."

They continued to gossip about the people that they knew that Georgie was just getting to know. She had met Lavender Brown and had taken an instant dislike, probably because she was trying to flirt with Seamus right in front of her face. Parvati had tried to get Dean's attention but he just ignored her for most of the time. They talked about who Dean could go out with, and that he needed someone, especially now that Luna was going to be tying the knot. Before she knew it she was all ready and Ron was knocking at her door.

"Well, that's my cue. Hope you have fun." They hugged and Georgie opened the door to Ron; though she couldn't be sure it was him because she couldn't see his face for all the roses that he was holding. It was a bouquet like Hermione had never seen; they were beautiful white roses with red edges, no, blue edges, no, orange edges, okay changing colored edges. Georgie slipped out and Hermione levitated the roses into a couple of vases.

"You look amazing." Were the first words out of his mouth? She was pleased that he was still able to make her blush. She took his outstretched arm and they walked down to the ally he then apparated her in front of the Shrieking Shack. It was a cold December night, but there were little blue flamed fires surrounding a table set for two with candles in the middle. She looked at him, how had he remembered this? It isn't like this was their first date? It was just a place that they walked to once in school. He pulled out her chair and answered the question that he could see in her eyes.

"It's when I first realized that I was falling in love with you. You were so cute talking to me about the haunted house, trying to come up with something to say. I was so nervous I could hardly look at you. I knew then that you were the girl for me. I know that I didn't always act that way, but what can I say, I was a moron."

"Maybe a little" and she gave a playful grin.

He hadn't sat down yet and then he knelt, right in front of her. She was speechless; she hadn't thought that he would propose tonight, one day maybe, but not tonight. She also hadn't thought that he could be so romantic.

"Hermione Jean Granger, I have loved you since we were kids, and I promise to keep loving you until our kids have kids and then they have kids too. I can't imagine spending the rest of my life without you by my side. You keep me whole, without you I am a shell of a man. Will you please do me the honor of being my wife, and making me the happiest wizard in the whole world?"

Tears sprang up in her eyes; she was so happy that she couldn't speak. The man that she loved was asking her if he wanted to spend the rest of her life with him, was he daft? Like there could be any answer but yes. She finally nodded, since the words refused to come out. He placed the tiny diamond ring on her finger and swept her up into a warm embrace. They enjoyed a passionate kiss and then some champaign to celebrate.

He held her close to him and said, "Thank You."

She looked at him archly "Thank you? Did you think I might have said no?"

"No, I meant thank you…for saving my life."

The End

A/N: And that was my first bit of fanfiction. As I was posting it I realized how rough it is, but I enjoyed writing it and it brought be into a whole new world of ff. I hope the ending was to your liking. I know that it is short, but I really couldn't find a way to draw it out any longer. Let me know what you think.

Of course thanks to everyone for reading :)
