Okay people, I am sorry but this story just does nothing for me any more, and I will finish it off with this chapter. I had planned a longer story when I first started it, and hopefully I will be able to write a sequel, but right now it's just a huge burden for me to write and so instead of having you wait forever and a day for me to finish this, I will cut it short with this chapter. Sorry to disappoint.

When the feast was finally over and most of the hall had cleared up, she met up with Draco, Pansy and Blaise and they headed towards the RoR.
When they reached the seventh floor, the door was all ready there, and they walked inside, spotting Ginny, Luna and Neville on a couch and Harry next to them on a chair, all seemingly lost in thought.
Hermione sat down on the couch across the other four in between Pansy and Draco with Blaise on the arm next to Pansy. Hermione was the one to break the silence.
"Well..."
?*?*?*?*?
"Well, I am guessing you don't want the short version." When her four friends nodded, Hermione made herself comfortable and started the story.
"You all remember when I broke up with Ron. Well, the reason I did that was because I caught him with Lavender." Hermione chose to ignore the gaps, and continued. "I sat down to have a talk with him, and told him that I knew about them. Then he started making excuses for himself, that she had followed him and kissed him, and that he just felt sorry for her and on and on. Of course, I had overheard him say the same about me to her, so I cut him off and told him we were through. I decided to come with Pansy to the states to her cousins wedding, as my plans were to stay at the Burrow. Ron tried to corner me several times before we left to get me back, but was rather unsuccessful. I left with Pansy and went to New York where we met up with her cousin and his friend, who turned out to be Draco and Blaise. We stayed there for two weeks before we left for the wedding and during that, me and Draco got together. Then we spent the rest of the summer travelling around and ended up in Vegas. When we got our Hogwarts letters we went out to celebrate the Head positions, and we got somewhat drunk. Not one of us remember anything after the club, but the morning after I found a wedding license next to our bed that stated that Draco and I were married. And when we decided to stay married, we visited out parents and told them, and that was that, really."
Silence rang in the room, the facial expressions unique for every one of their friends. Harry, Ginny and Neville all showed anger in some way, but Harry's expression was deadly, as if he had stopped listening after hearing Ron had cheated. Neville's was one of anger and shock, whilst Ginny's was a mixture of anger, shock and smugness for some reason or another. Luna just smiled. Before she broke the silence.
"Oh, it's so good to see you free of the flubberings, Hermione, the Nargles are so much better for you." Then she hugged all four of them, leaving the three Slytherins somewhat confused.
Hermione just smiled, knowing what Luna meant in her own special way. "Thank you, I'm glad too."
It seemed that the other three had woken from their stupor, and Hermione was soon engulfed in a hug from her best friend. "Ron is dead. But if your happy, then I'm happy for you."
Hermione beamed at Harry, before getting a hug from Ginny, who seemed just as mad as her boyfriend. "Yes. I think I will write to the twins and have them use him as test subject for the shop." Her anger seemed to dissolve a little, and she looked over Hermione's shoulder to Draco, looked him up and down as if checking out the goods, and turned to Hermione again. "Good catch."
Hermione laughed, a little surprised, and got a hug from Neville as Ginny stepped back in her boyfriends arms. "Can't say I'm not surprised, but as long as you're happy, and he stopped being an ass, it's fine with me. "The three Slytherins seemed somewhat shocked, but Hermione just smiled.
"Yes, I'm happy, and I promise you that if he does act like an ass, I will set him right." She sent a narrow glance over her shoulder to her husband, before smiling at her four Gryffindor friends. "Thank you guys, it's nice to be able to keep my old friends as well as new."
"Of course, Hermione, it's not like I'm going to let six years of friendship down the drain just because you found someone to love that I don't really get at the moment. I am sure this will make much more sense in my head in a couple of months." Harry gave her crocked smile as he sat down in the chair he had vacated, dragging his girlfriend into his lap.
Hermione sat down again with a smile on her face, and the eight people stayed in the room until late, slowly getting to know each other for the sake of their friend and wife.

The next morning Hermione and Draco walked into the Great Hall and everyone stopped talking. Harry, Ginny and Neville was all ready sitting at the Gryffindor table, and after giving Draco a kiss, Hermione went to join her friends. As she sat down she noticed the three Gryffindors rather evil smiles, and raised her eyebrows in question. When none of them said anything, she suddenly realised the table was lacking a redhead and wondered if Ron was just sleeping in or if they had actually done something to him.
"Is he still alive?" She looked switched her look between the three of them, and Harry's smile slowly turned into a smirk.
"Oh yes, he will just have some problems with a certain part of his anatomy until we decide he has had enough. No worries." The far away voice her dark haired friend talked in gave Hermione shivers, and she took a quick look at the two others before starting to eat. She suddenly realised why she was glad Harry was her friend.

AU: Yes, I know, the end is strange, but in case I never come back to this story I need there to be some punishment for Ron.
