It's been three months since the last chapter and I feel like a horrible person. At first I really couldn't get the ideas out of my head and on to paper. I just felt like it was all wrong. Then I finally finished it about 2 months ago, but by that time I had started summer vacation and I got super lazy as you can tell. Again, I'm so so so sorry! please forgive me... :)

F.Y.I This is just a quick little summary of where the characters ended up, so nothing too exciting.

DISCLAIMER: I do not, nor have I ever owned the rights to these characters.

5 years later...

After graduating from Hogwarts, Hermione began working in the Department for Protection of Magical Creatures at the Ministry while Draco became a healer at St. Mungo's. Hermione was sharing an apartment with Ginny who was currently playing chaser for the Holyhead Harpies and who was newly engaged to Harry. Although they didn't live with eachother, Draco and Hermione spent every moment that they weren't working, together.

Recently Draco had been acting a little suspicious and Hermione was begining to worry...

On the 5 year anniversary of breaking the curse, Draco invited hermione over to his small two bedroom house where they prepared a wonderful dinner together. They sat down at the tiny kitchen table and began to eat.

"Wow, this is really good. What is that seasoning called again?" Hermione asked curiously.

She looked up when Draco didn't answer right away. he was staring at her with a huge grin on his face, flashing those pearly white teeth.

"What?" Hermione asked, "What are you smiling at? Draco, what's so funny?"

"Nothing's funny." he replied

"Then why are yougrinning like that?"

"Because I love you."

"I love you too." She smiled

"No, you don't get it. I love you so much. More than you can imagine. More than I can imagine. And because of that, I need to ask you something."

He stood and walked around the table to stand infront of her. His hand slipped into his jacket and drew out a little red box.

"Oh my god." Hermione said, covering her mouth with her hand, trembling. Draco slid down onto one knee, taking her free hand in his.

"Hermione Jean Granger," he began, "I've known you since we were eleven and I was always so jealous of you. Your brilliant mind, your great friends, your compassion for everyone. And over the years, you've taught me so many things. How to be caring, and supportive, how to brew a proper shrinking potion." he smirked a little, "But most importantly, you've taught me how to love. How to love so deeply that it hurts, yet it feels so right. And for that, I wouldn't want to spend one moment without you. Will you marry me?" he opened the box to reveal a twinkling diamond ring.

Hermione was stunned. Tears were streaming down her face. She looked right into his icy gray eyes and nodded, speechless. He grinned and slid the glistening diamond onto her left ring finger, both of their hands shaking.

Draco stood up, pulling her into a tight embrace and kissed her sweetly.

"I love you so much." he said, staring into her molten chocolate eyes.

"I love you more."

Fin.
