Chapter One
"I love you Hermione Granger, and I want to spend the rest of my life with you."
Hermione looked at the boy in front of her. She loved him with all of her heart and soul and hated him for asking her five minutes before she was planning on asking I'm the same question.
"You couldn't have waited another few minutes, could you?" She asked in a laugh with tears flowing down her eyes. As he looked puzzled at her, she took out a small box and opened it beside the one in his hands.
Draco let out a laugh and pulled her into a strong embrace as he spun her in a circle, letting her feet fly off the grass, not wanting to hide his happiness.
The couple had been going out since the middle of sixth year when they had been paired together for the Valentines Day dance. Draco knew from the instant he saw her walking up to him in her beautiful, red dress that he was in love. She was beautiful, intelligent, good humored and a good person. He could spend his entire life just sitting with her and be happy. Hermione took a little longer to fall head over heels. As they kissed on their third date and the song "Shining Through" began to play in Hermione's head, she knew that he was the one and every word in the song was true. That was, and always would be, their song.
They finally separated after an eternity of looking like a double-headed blob and looked lovingly at each other.
"So what was your embarrassing speech I know you had planned?" Draco asked, letting the tears flow in a small, slow stream down his cheeks, not even caring. "I know for a fact that 'you couldn't wait another few minutes' wasn't your first choice."
Hermione laughed and wiped her wet cheeks. "Well who knows? I might have thought that you would have gotten the idea soon enough."
Draco looked at her, laughing with her. She was small with a slim body, her hair was only a little less bushy than in their first year, and her face was red from tonight, yet she was still the most beautiful person in the world. They had had plenty of problems during their relationship, but he only knew that overcoming them only made their love stronger.
As Hermione looked up at Draco she thought about all of her second thinking, doubting, and fear in the beginning of their relationship. Until the Valentines Day dance he had not spoken a civil word towards her, and in one night he refused not to let her know how he felt. Now she knew that they were going to be together forever. Graduation was the next day and after that…
