Disclaimer: I wish I owned these guys…I'd be rich…but I don't.
A/N: Well I've written the start and the end and the middle is nearly done. I'm rating this T for the slight bit of sexual comment at the end. (and I mean slight). The headins used are to separate time and venue. The "stars" that I usually use to separate these sections did not appear when I uploaded the document. Any suggestions on how I can get around this? I tried using html mode but I'm not overly familiar with the symbols etc etc. (In case you couldnt notice, I havent been on ff.n in quite awhile)
"I can't wait for her to meet you Hermione! I've told her so much about you!"
Hermione laughed, "All good things, I hope," she teased him.
"Of course!" Harry reassured her with a kiss on the cheek as she joined him for breakfast, "Ron, on the other hand, I'm not so sure…"
"Ron flirts with everything that moves Harry, I'd keep two eyes on her tonight if I were you" she warned him.
"Why are my ears burning?" Ron called from the bathroom.
The duo snickered.
"Oh and one more thing" Ron added, "I'm not desperate enough to steal from you Potter! I have a girlfriend you know!"
"Well if you don't mind, I'd appreciate it if you stuck to her for tonight please" Harry replied, sternly, "I'm hoping to make it a very special night for the two of us."
"What's the big occasion?' Hermione questioned.
Harry grinned, "I'll show you…" he answered, reaching into his pocket and pulling out a small box.
"Oh my goodness! Ron, get in here!" Hermione screeched as Harry revealed the most elegant diamond ring she had ever seen.
"What? What's happening! Please don't tell me the house is on…jumping chocolate frogs look at the size of that…."
"Harry going to propose to Sheree!" Hermione cried out with joy.
"I can see that!" Ron grinned, "Congratulations mate!"
"Well, she hasn't said yes yet has she?" Harry blushed, feeling slightly embarrassed at their reactions.
"Oh but how can she say no Harry?" Hermione reassured him, "She's in love with you, remember?"
"I just don't want to get too excited yet about something that may not happen" Harry replied calmly.
"Ok mate. We won't speak until you give the word." Ron assured his best mate.
Cleaning (or lack thereof) mid-afternoon that day.
"Ronald will you get off your fat arse and do something for once? Aren't you supposed to be cleaning?" Luna nagged her somewhat lazy boyfriend.
"There's nothing to clean!"
"Ronald, I know for a fact that your room is a pigsty and if you've left the bathroom in the same state as you left it last night then yes there is something to clean."
"Baby…" he pleaded.
"That doesn't work with me…"
"It did last night" Ron smiled seductively.
Luna blushed, "Shhhhh!"
"No one's home sweetie!" he reassured her with a wink.
"Get up!" she ordered.
Ron sighed as he forced himself up off the lounge. He smiled as he approached his surly faced girlfriend.
"Don't even try and distract me."
Without hesitation, Ron seized her and pressed his lips firmly to hers, pulling her in tightly.
When they pulled apart Luna smiled.
"Well?" he asked her, expectantly.
Luna paused for a moment and pulled him in close, whispering gently into his ear, "Nice try but you still have to clean the bathroom."
Meanwhile..
"So is this right Hermione? Hermione?"
"What?" she awoke from her thoughts, "Oh sorry Lav, did you say something?"
"In all my nine years of knowing you, I've never seen you anything less than completely attentive in class and all morning you've had your head in the clouds. Something's wrong."
Hermione sighed, "Promise you won't tell Harry?"
"Promise"
"Well, you're probably aware that he has a girlfriend right?"
"Well, yes. Their photographs were all over the Daily Prophet." Lavender reminded her.
"Oh, that's right." She remembered, "Well anyway, she's coming over for tea tonight and this morning Harry made a point of telling us that tonight was to be a very special night for them and he pulled out this huge diamond ring and well…you can guess the rest."
"But…that's great Hermione!" Lavender was puzzled by her friend's reaction, "You're best friend is getting married! Shouldn't you be happy?"
"Well, this morning I was ecstatic but then I realised that…" she trailed off.
"What? What did you realise?" Lavender pressed
"That I'm still in love with Harry."
Later that day
Hermione slumped in through the back door with what seemed like fifty shopping bags of food.
"Thanks for the help Ron, I'll be fine on my own!" she called out in ingratitude.
Ron emerged from the downstairs bathroom wearing rubber gloves, covered in filth.
Hermione burst into a fit of laughter at the sight of him, "I do apologise Ron, it appears you're up to your armpits in filth…LITERALLY!"
"Hermione, no matter how hard you try, you'll never be funny" Ron was not impressed.
"Ooh ouch that hurt" she rebuked him, sarcastically, "You look a treat Ron. How did Luna do it?"
Luna appeared at the doorway of the kitchen, "Doesn't he look pretty Hermione?" she chuckled.
"Oh yes, very much so. What did you do Luna?" she asked in amazement.
"Surprisingly, not much."
"Well, I'm very impressed! The house looks spotless you guys! I'd better start cooking though. They'll be here in less than two hours."
"Yeah, I need a shower" Ron declared, making his way back to the bathroom.
"I can help you with the cooking if you want Hermione." Luna offered.
"Oh that would be fantastic! Thank you so much!" she hugged Luna gratefully.
"No problem. So, what are we cooking?"
"I was thinking of cooking my famous lasagne that Harry loves so much."
"Mmmm sounds delicious!" Luna gave a nod of approval.
"And I need a salad done but not right at the moment so can I put you in charge of that?"
"Yep!" Luna replied, brightly.
"And I am yet to decide on dessert…"
"Before you say one more word" Luna interrupted, "I have a specialty that if you don't mind, I'd like to share with you tonight."
"Oh…OK well that's all sorted then." Hermione smiled half-heartedly.
Luna couldn't help but notice that something was wrong but refrained from asking questions at that moment. There would be time for that later.
And so, the evening begins...
"I can't wait for you to meet them darling!"
"Yes, Harry I know."
"They're going to love you!"
She sighed anxiously, "Well, I hope so anyway."
The two sat in silence as the car sped them down Harry's street.
The car stopped and the two stepped out.
Harry breathed in and took his girl's hand, "Well, here we go"
