Ron stood his heart racing his hands clammy his stomach in knots for so many reasons. Anticipation had been killing him; time seemed to tick by slower than ever. He had never been so nervous and excited all at the same time in his life. So many emotions were spinning through in his head he didn't know what to think. The only thing he was certain of was his love for Hermione everything else had been thrown out the window. Ron didn't care anymore he was done with playing it safe, wasting time he was finally not going to hold back. He stood there and he waited, waited for the time to come.
Hermione sat on the train she had been halfway home now, she couldn't wait to see her old flat, see all her friends, and most importantly see Ron. Though Ron had never responded to her letter about when she would be back, she still had faith that everything was fine. She pushed her slight worries to the back of her mind, hoping they wouldn't creep up on her. Tonight Ginny had insisted that she come to the Burrow for dinner, considering they had a lot to catch up on and the Weasley was practically her own she couldn't refuse. She knew that Ron would be there, maybe he had to push back his special plans to another day since Hermione had no doubt that once Ginny told Mrs. Weasley when she was coming home she had already started planning her welcome home dinner. Hermione smiled to herself truly excited to see everyone, finally after all this time.
The train finally came to a halt, pulling Hermione from her thoughts she gathered up her things and made her way back to her old flat. She stood in the front yard, it had been rather overgrown which she was expecting giving it a sort of wild look that Hermione loved. She lugged her bags to front door, where she realized there was a single rose floating in front of her door. Hermione cautiously grabbed it, looking at it confused.
"Hmm that's weird" Hermione said, not thinking much of it she proceeded to unlock the door and opened it. What she was faced with had been nothing she would have ever expected it. There had been dozens bouquets of roses all over, candles floating all over her flat that lite as soon as she entered. On the floor had been a trail on rose petals leading her through the kitchen out to deck which had been her favorite part of the house. Hermione's stomach instantly flip flops her thoughts on the only person who could've done this. This was by far the most romantic thing that had ever happened to her, a smile plastered on her face she made her way out to the deck where she was met with Ron who stood there in a circle of rose petals. Hermione eyes instantly began to water, she was overcome with so many emotions she quickly ran over to Ron jumping up on him wrapping her legs around his waist and kissing him with everything she had. He had returned her intensity; it was like they haven't been apart at all everything felt exactly, like everything was back to how it should be. Finally they pulled apart smiles plastered on both their faces.
"I missed you so much" Hermione said softly,
"Me too, I'm so glad you're back" Ron said, his hands draped losing around her hips as he took in her beauty. She had looked pretty much the same, her hair a little longer and lighter, her sink a little tanner, but it was still the Hermione he knew and loved. He kissed her forehead so happy that they were finally back,
"Hermione" He said softly against her skin she looked up at him with her big brown eyes.
"Yes" she answered.
"I have to tell you something" Ron said his voice slightly shaky, Hermione looked at him in question slight panic went across her face.
"What…"Hermione said nervously.
"Okay well this past year and a half has been the worst year and a half of life. And as you know we've both been through a lot of shit so that's really saying something" Ron said, Hermione began to speak but Ron just put his hand up.
"Let me finish. You are my world Hermione, I know we lost touch while you were away but I want to let you know that my feelings haven't changed about you. I love you just as much as I loved you before if not even more." Ron continued, Hermione yet again trying to speak but Ron stopping her he could see tears welling up in her eyes but this time he knew that it wasn't because she was sad.
"You are the girl of my dreams, and this year and a half has taught me that I can't and won't live without you anymore. I love you Hermione Granger more than anything…Will you marry me?" Ron said as he got down on one knee pulling out a beautiful diamond ring. Hermione face was pure shock tears now streaming down her face. She began to nod her head frantically because she couldn't find her voice.
"Yes!" She managed to squeak out before wrapping her arms around Ron and kissing him, Ron had never felt relieved in his life. That had been one of the biggest risks of his life and he was so happy it worked out. Hermione put out her shaky hand as Ron slid the ring onto to her finger.
"Oh Ron it's beautiful" Hermione said in awe as she looked at the ring on her finger.
"I'm glad you like" Ron said,
"I love it" Hermione said, kissing Ron once again. Ron then grabbed Hermione's hand leading her back into the house into the bedroom.
"Well Mr. Weasley what do you think you're doing" Hermione said playfully, Ron smirked back.
"I'm about to make love to my future wife" Ron said it felt so right to call Hermione his wife. Hermione smiled widened at these words as she pushed him on to the bed straddling his hard body. Their hands moved frantically as it had been it awhile for the both of them. Their kisses had been sloppy and urgent their hands fast and rough. Hermione pulled her shirt off in quick moment Ron doing the same, as he then flipped Hermione so he was on top kissing all of her exposed skin nipping and sucking her sensitive areas. Hermione began grabbing at his pants trying to fiddle with the buckle unable to wait any longer. Ron wouldn't give her the satisfaction to help her but instead ripping off her pants with one quick motion.
"Pants now" Hermione said breathlessly against his neck, as she then proceeded to suck his sensitive stop making finally oblige taking his pants off. Ron rubbed her sensitive spot between her legs making her go wild, he could already feel how wet she was through her panties. She let out a slight moan as he dipped his fingered into her wet folds.
"Ron please" Hermione begged, she couldn't wait anymore. Ron needed no further instructions; he pulled off his boxers and Hermione's panties before thrusting his throbbing member into her. They both let out a moan when Ron entered Hermione; she gripped his shoulders to steady herself as he began a steady pace her moans quickly filling the room. As Hermione's moans grew louder Ron knew that she was close picking up the pace within the minutes they had bout climaxed, Ron collapsed next to Hermione both of them breathing heavily.
"I love you so much" Ron said with his deep breaths, Hermione nodded.
"I love you too" Hermione answered,
"And God have I missed that" Ron added, as he slapped Hermione's ass playfully and she let out a giggle.
"Oh shit I'm supposed to be at the Burrow soon" Hermione said, sitting up on the bed.
"Fuck yeah, time flies when you're havin fun huh?" Ron said playfully leaning in to kiss Hermione once more before they both got up to get dressed. Hermione fixed her hair in the mirror seeing the glimmering shine from her finger she pulled her hand back looking at the ring once again. She would've never expected that this is what something special meant but she couldn't be any happier. Ron came up behind her wrapping his arms around her.
"I'm glad you're happy" Ron said, Hermione turned around snaking her arms around his neck.
"I am so happy, I wouldn't have wanted to come home to anything different" Hermione said a smile breaking out across her face.
"Im glad. Also no one knows that I was going to do this, so everyone is going to be rather surprised" Ron explained. Hermione nodded
"This should be fun" Hermione said as they left for the Burrow.
They stood outside of the Burrow to gather their thoughts, Hermione heard everyone shouting and talking amongst themselves.
"Alright you ready?" Ron said, Hermione nodded grabbing his hand as they walked into the house. Everyone immediately cheered, rushing over to give Hermione a hug Ginny pushing through practically knocking Hermione over with her force.
"I'm so happy your back! I'm going to need you to keep me sane these next nine months!" Ginny exclaimed.
"Haha I'm happy to be back!" Hermione said giving Ginny another hug, before making her way over to Harry who gave her a big welcoming hug.
"Welcome back we've all missed you" Harry said, Hermione smiled back at him.
"I miss you guys too! And I can't wait to be an aunt!" Hermione said congratulating them both. Hermione and Ron had decided to tell everyone during dinner since they knew once Hermione was back it was going to crazy, so Hermione flipped her ring inward so it looked like she was just wearing a simple band ring.
"Oh dear you must be starving! Come sit well start dinner!" Mrs. Weasley said calling everyone to the table. Everyone gathered around Hermione sitting next to Ron, she grabbed his hand giving him a look, Ron nodded and response and that's when she knew it was time. After everyone settled in, Ron spoke
"Hey guys" Ron said, but didn't get everyone's attention
"EVERYBODY LISTEN UP!" Ron yelled, this time everyone stopped what they were doing looking over at Ron.
"What is it dear?" Mrs. Weasley asked looking slightly concerned.
"I have to tell everyone something" Ron continued, everyone held their attention on him as he spoke.
"Well me and Hermione are engaged" Ron said grabbing Hermione's hand and pulling her up next to him.
"Yup it's true!" Hermione said showing her ring for everyone to see. Ginny who was next to Hermione shot up with a shriek pulling her into another hug.
"Oh my god this is so exciting!" Ginny exclaimed, Harry went over to Ron giving him a hug.
"Congrats man you finally got what you want" Harry said, Ron smiled and nodded. Mrs. Weasley happy tears in her eyes rushed over to Hermione giving her a big warm hug.
"Oh welcome to the family dear! I've waited years to be able to say that you!" she said, Hermione received hugs from every one of the Weasley family members. Mr. Weasley got out some drinks from everyone to celebrate when George decided he was going to make a toast.
"Okay everyone listen up!" George said clearing this throat to get everyone's attention.
"Now I want to say a few words to the newly engaged couple. Hermione, you're already like a sister to me so I am beyond thrilled that you are finally becoming officially apart of the family, we always knew that it would be you. And Ron…you're lucky Hermione puts up with you, never let her go haha but seriously I am so happy for the both of you! Cheers!" George said everyone lifted their glasses with a round of cheers.
Hermione and Ron sat out on the porch of the Burrow; everyone had a million questions for them none of which they cared to answer just now.
"Glad's that's over" Ron said with relief, Hermione laughed.
"Oh stop you knew it was going to be crazy no matter when he told them" Hermione said.
"I know, next time we have big news we tell them separately, like one by one" Ron joked, Hermione laughed again looking out into the sunset feeling so blessed that today happened. They sat there in a comfortable silence taking in the peaceful scenery.
"Ya know I think what we should do next, maybe find a house" Ron suggested, considering both their house were not fit to start a family in. Hermione looked up at Ron,
"I think that's a great idea" Hermione said with a smile before kissing him on the lips. The setting sun making them a shade of orange from the distance, today was the day they were finally starting their life together, a life that they would finally call their own.
