Epilogue
"I now present to you . Ron and Hermione WEASLEY!"
The backyard of the Burrow boomed with cheers, shouts, and fireworks. Ron took everyone and everything in at once. He turned to his left and saw his mum sobbing with joy. He quickly came over to her and gave her a swift kiss on the cheek. He felt someone clap him on the back, wishing him congratulations. He saw Ginny hugging someone, a large smile on her face, and a few tears here and there. The person turned around.
And then he saw Hermione looking at him with adoring eyes. She gave him a look that seemed to say, "We made it."
He grinned at her, and took her hand. She clasped her fingers around his, and he pulled her towards her. He kissed her sweetly on the lips, causing more people to cheer and clap. The two of them walked proudly and happily down the isle, people talking and yelling to them. But Ron didn't hear anything of it. All he could sense right now was Hermione's hand clutching tightly to his, and the feeling of complete bliss.
~*~*~*~
"Ahem, ahem!" Harry stood, clearing his throat.
The chatter underneath the tent began to subside immediately.
"I'd like to propose a toast and say a few things to the newly weds," Harry said loudly, giving Ron a mischievous grin.
He began to speak, holding up his glass while doing so. "Well, the day has finally come, everyone. Not that no one didn't see it coming, right?"
The crowd laughed heartily.
"I don't think anyone was surprised that these two ended up together. Ask anyone at Hogwarts whom they thought Ron fancied, and they would have automatically said 'Hermione Granger.' I think it was pretty obvious that the two always had something for each other, even though both of them were too stubborn to admit it for ages. All you had to do was look at Ron's ears whenever Hermione talked or looked at him."
Harry turned to Ron and grinned. "You really do have to work on controlling those ears of yours, Ron."
He paused, waiting for the crowd to stop laughing as they saw Ron's beet red ears and face. He then continued.
"It didn't occur to me until a few weeks ago, what really made me sure that Hermione and Ron were meant to be. See, way back in first year, I can remember Hermione continuously showing and telling Ron how to do a certain spell. Well, we all know the Weasley's temper, right? Ron ended up calling Hermione a 'nightmare'--,"
"Harry, why are you telling her this?" Ron called out threateningly.
Harry continued, despite Ron's interruption.
"That night, a troll managed to end up in the girls' bathroom, where Hermione was. Ron ended up using the exact spell that Hermione had taught him, and knocked the troll out. If it weren't for Ron actually listening to Hermione, Hermione may not have even been with us today. You two are the greatest, you know. I don't think I could ever ask for better friends. They've put up with so much just because of me, and I am . really grateful."
"Aw, is little Hawwy going to cwy?" someone called out.
"Shut up, George," Harry said smiling.
Although, Ron did notice Harry's eyes were unusually bright.
"I wish you two the best of luck. You deserve it," Harry finished.
The crowd went up in cheers once again. Hermione stood up and wrapped her arms around Harry, tears pouring down her face. She gave him a kiss on the cheek. For once, Ron didn't seem to mind.
~*~*~*~*~
After Harry's speech and the delicious dinner that Mrs. Weasley had cooked, the tables and chairs were magically cleared away, and there appeared a dance floor. Immediately, a song started to play. A familiar voice could be heard saying, "And now, for the bride and groom's first dance."
The floor cleared immediately, and Ron looked at Hermione. Her face was lit up, and she took his hand, leading him to the dance floor. They wrapped their arms each other with no hesitation. Hermione looked up at him and smiled.
"Can you believe it?" she asked him.
Ron nodded. "Yes."
He bent down and rubbed his nose against hers. Their foreheads touching, Ron listened to the music playing softly in the background.
"Someday . when I'm awfully low. And the world is cold, I will feel a glow just thinking of you. And the way you look, tonight."
The voice was so pleasant. He looked up to the band to see who was singing, and he was surprised to see Ginny standing up there. Their eyes met and he smiled at her. She grinned and continued singing. He turned back to Hermione.
"Oh, Ron. I love you so much," Hermione whispered.
Ron kissed her on the lips. "Forever and always," he said softly to her.
Hermione sighed and rested her head against his shoulder.
Ron looked up at Ginny again, who was still singing. This time, she was singing a different song.
"Never knew, I could feel like this. Like I've never seen the sky before. Want to vanish, inside your kiss. Everyday I love you more and more. Listen to my heart, can't you hear it sing? Telling me to give you everything. Seasons may change, winter to spring. But I'll love you, until the end of time."
Ginny's left arm was held out in front of her, as if reaching out to someone. Ron's eyes followed to where she was pointing, and his eyes fell on Harry who was staring back at her, a small smile playing at his lips. Ron glanced back at Ginny and turned back to Hermione, and then turned back to Ginny.
"No, it can't be. What is that on her hand? Wait! One . two . three . four." Ron thought, counting her fingers. IS THAT AN ENGAGEMENT RING?"
