Chapter 1

Disclaimer: Once again you know the drill cause if I owned Harry Potter I would not be writing this…at least not on FF.N. Also title is a lyrics to Hoobastanks song 'Ready For You.'

Hermione trudged through the crowd trying not to be trampled as she made her way to her seat. She sat down and looked around for the person she was looking for.

"Hermione!" Sounded a voice coming out of the crowd.

The Hogwarts professor turned her head and smiled as her beau walked towards her,

"Seamus!" She stood up and gave him a hug and a peck on the cheek before they sat back down and he intertwined their hands. She looked over and smiled lightly thanking good timing as the two Quidditch teams came onto the field, first Puddlemere United and she clapped as hard as she could and stood up screaming as she watched her favorite player come out onto the field.

"Go Harry! Woo!" She smiled as the boy who lived looked at her and did a small flip. Her smile faded slightly as the gold ring on his left hand sparkled in the blinding sun. She sat down and squirmed lightly as Seamus wrapped his arm around her and pulled her close.

As the other team came out onto the field Hermione clapped and she watched the game cheering loudly. She looked onto the big screen and suddenly there was a lump in her throat when she saw her love 'former love Hermione, FORMER!' Oliver Wood saving a goal and smiling broadly.

Once the snitch was caught by Hermione's favorite seeker, she stood up to leave but Seamus grabbed her wrist and stood up slowly and said, "Hermione, I have to ask to something."

Hermione looked around and saw people staring and said while blushing, "Seamus really, can this wait?"

Seamus shook his head and then went down on one knee and took out a velvet box and said, "Hermione, we've been dating for 2 years now, and I love you with all my heart and I want you to be the one I spend my life with and to be the mother of my children." He opened the box, "Will you marry me?"

Hermione took in a deep breath and looked around when she heard the words echo and saw that her proposal was being broadcast on the big screen, she looked back at Seamus feeling a bit dizzy and said, "I don't know what to say."

Seamus smiled nervously, "Say you'll marry me."

Hermione nodded knowing that was the right thing to say and said, "Seamus I-I..." Her eyes widened as 'another' Seamus arrived in the same position as the one proposing and she faintly heard, "Hermione?" Before she fell to the ground and turned over, seeing people crowding around her and asking her if she was okay and if she could hear them.

She rolled onto her other side just in time to see a man shrouded in darkness kneel next to her. She laid her head back onto the floor and felt the darkness accept her and she succumbed to it willingly.
