Harry and Hermione were sitting at a table in the Three Broomsticks when Ron slid into the seat beside Hermione, laughing his arse off. He tossed the morning's paper onto the table.

"Get a load of this!" he said, grinning and wrapping his arm around Hermione's shoulders. "Apparently, I'm not good enough for you. You're actually meant to be with the boy wonder over there."

Harry's eyes widened and he snatched the paper off the table. His eyes scanned the page for a moment before he too began to laugh. "Oh, Merlin! Who wrote this?"

"What?" Hermione reached out and Harry handed the pages to her.

Hermione Weasley, or Hermione Potter? Did the Golden Girl choose the right one?

She went on to read the first few lines before sighing and laying the paper down. "Whoever it was didn't put their name on their article."

"According to Draco, it's a newer writer. She claims to have the Sight, too," Ron grumbled. "Her so-called visions tell her you should have married Harry!"

Hermione patted his leg. "I didn't mean for the news to come to you this way. Neither of us did. But Ron, darling . . . I have always known, in the deepest parts of my heart, that I'm in love with him, not you."

"Too bad he doesn't feel the same way," a new voice added just as Ron opened his mouth to respond.

"Draco!" Harry said, grinning as the blonde sat beside him.

"We all know he's actually in love with me," Draco continued, trying to lean in and kiss Harry.

Harry laughed and shoved him away. "Come on, now. My wife wouldn't approve."

"Where is the red-headed beauty, anyway?" Draco asked, leaning back in his seat and crossing his arms over his chest. "I thought she was gonna be here."

"She is. She's just running late. What's the deal with this new writer of yours?"

Draco chuckled. "Well, for starters, she," he held up his hands and made quote signs, "'ships' you and Curly. Sorry, Ron, but she doesn't think you should even be in the picture."

"What in the name of Merlin gave her that idea?" Hermione asked. She leaned against Ron and he hummed. "It couldn't actually be visions, could it?"

"That's what she claims. So of course, the Big Guy ate it right up. Kingsley tried to get it off the front page at the very least, but he wasn't having any of it. I think he has a thing for you, Hermione. He just wants to know that you made the wrong decision marrying Ronald."

"She didn't." Ron frowned and glanced at Hermione. "You didn't, right?"

"Of course not. I'm happier with you than I would be with anyone else. Including Harry. You're my husband, after all."

"Speaking of husbands, I just dropped by for a mo. Blaise is picking up Scorp and we are going for ice cream. Scorp got his letter yesterday."

"So did Rose! It's so exciting, isn't it?"
