Part 1:
"Morning 'Mione. How did you sleep?" Ron asked still half asleep as he stumbled down the stairs.
"Morning Ron," She answered as she passed Ron his morning coffee. "I slept alright, what about you?" Ron gave her a kiss on the cheek before he took a seat next to her.
"Yeah good. Ahhh no! Chudley Cannons lost again." Ron whinged as he let the daily fall back onto the table.
"Oh stop complaining, when was the last time they actually won something?" Hermione joked as she sipped some of her own coffee. Ron gave her a look as if to say; don't start.
"Oh no! it cant be that time already!" Hermione gasped as she stared at the clock in front of her. 8.30am. Ron looked at her with a confused face.
"Ginny and Harry will be here any minute! Quick, go get changed." Hermione said as she snatched his coffee from under his nose.
"Hey! I was drinking that." He argued as she tipped the remains down the sink.
"Don't worry about the coffee Ronald, go and get dressed; or do you wish for your sister and best friend to see you in your pyjamas?"
He thought for a moment. He had made his decision very quickly, He ran up the stairs, tripping over several until he reached his destination. After Hermione heard the bedroom door slam, she looked around her house.
"Ahh screw it." She said as she made a flick motion with her wand. As she watched, things began flying around the room back into their rightful places. The scrub brush began scrubbing the dishes; clothes were being folded and flown upstairs to Ron's surprise, and the remains of a cup Ron had hidden yesterday was being swept up.
"Much better." Hermione smiled as she stared around her living room and kitchen in astonishment.
"Knock knock, anyone home?" Asked Ginny as she peeped her head through the front door.
"Ginny! Harry!" Hermione breathed as she hugged her two best friends.
"Hey Hermione, where's Ron?" Harry asked as he returned the hug.
"Upstairs getting dressed. He forgot what day it was again." Hermione sighed.
"Ahh you're here guys. Bloody hell Hermione, a little more warning would have been helpful." Ron said as he tried not to trip down the stairs. It was on the last step that his foot got caught and he landed face first on the wooden floor. They all tried not to laugh as Harry ran to help his friend up.
"Geez Ron, you would think since we lived in the burrow all those years, you would know how to walk down a flight of stairs." Ginny smiled as she tried her best not to laugh. But she couldn't help it. She burst out laughing, causing Hermione to lose it as well.
"Oh shut up you two." Ron growled as a wiped himself off. Harry hid a giggle under his breath.
"Ah im sorry. Forgive me?" asked Hermione with a glowing puppy dog eyes.
"I suppose." Ron answered calmly. Hermione gave him a kiss on the cheek before turning to Ginny.
"So are you ready to go?"
"I am if you are."
"Great, I'll just got get my bag." Answered Hermione as she walked into the other room.
"What are you boys gonna do today then?" Ginny asked as she rummaged through her bag.
The two boys looked at eachother.
"Umm, well, Florean Fortescue's opening up his ice cream parlour again. So maybe we could stop by there, and maybe ever pop by to see George?" Ron replied as he shrugged his shoulders to Harry.
"Yeah sounds good." Harry nodded.
"Alright. I'm all good. We'll see you boys later. I love you." Hermione said as she pulled Ron down for a gentle kiss.
"Bye boys. Love you Harry." Ginny said as she blowed Harry a kiss.
The door closed behind them, and Harry and Ron stood without a thought in the world.
"So; You wanna go to this opening?" Ron asked plainly.
"Sure. Why not." Harry answered with a shrug of the shoulders.
Part 2:
Harry and Ron stepped into a beautifully set up shop, with streamers, balloons bowls of candy in every corner. At the front of the shop, stood a large counter that contained every flavour of ice cream you could ever imagine. The two boys stood flabbergasted for a few seconds before someone tapped Ron on the shoulder.
"Hey guys! I haven't seen you in ages. Doesn't this place look amazing?!" Announced Dean with astonishment. Seamus stood behind him.
"Seamus, Dean. It's great to see you." Harry smiled as he shook the boys' hands. Ron shook their hands, then turned back to stare at the magnificent food that awaited him. A voice broke into the room
"Ladies and Gentleman, Boys and Girls, may I please have your attention up here."
Up on a platform stood Mr Florean Fortescue; owner of this particular ice cream parlour. He has been known for many years as the best man to receive ice cream from. Since the destruction of the Second Wizarding World, it has taken Mr Fortescue nearly 2 years to get back on track and do what he loves.
"I would like the thank you all for coming to the Second Grand Opening of Florean Fortescue's Ice Cream Parlour. It means a lot to me that you could all be here and celebrate this wondrous occasion with me. Since that awful time, almost two years ago, I didn't believe I would be able to come back here and see all your lovely faces again; but here we all are; together. Anyway, I know declare this shop to be.. OPEN!" He announced with excitement. The room filled with cheers as Mr Fortescue revealed a golden plarck announcing the second grand opening of his beloved shop..
After everyone received their free ice cream cone of any flavour, Dean and Seamus joined Harry and Ron on the outside chairs of the store.
"So, what's been happening lately?" Asked Seamus as he licked the edges of his ice cream.
"Ahh not much. Hermione and I have moved in together and she's got me addicted to television." Ron answered smiling. Harry and Dean laughed while Seamus sat there confused.
"What's a 'television'?"
"Didn't your family own a television Seamus? You dad was a muggle after all" Asked Harry. Seamus shook his head.
"Well it's this little box the muggles use to entertain themselves. It a strange little box, but very addictive." Ron shrugged. Seamus still didn't understand.
"Why would the muggles need a little box to keep them entertained? Is their world really that boring?"
The three boys just laughed as their friend sat waiting for an answer.
"Haha I suppose so." Chuckled Dean.
"Never mind that anymore. Harry, are you and Ginny still dating?" Asked Seamus anxiously. This caused Dean to stop laughing. He would love to hear the response.
"Yeah we are." Smiled Harry.
"They're getting married soon too!" Bragged Ron. He was happy that his sister had found someone decent and respectable, and for his best friend to be that guy, was perfect. He knew that his sister would never be sad if Harry was there. Harry smiled even more.
The two boys were shocked by happy for the friend of many years.
"Congratulations Harry! When's the big day?" Asked Seamus as he tried not to show how happy his was for the couple.
"In the spring. It's what Ginny has always wanted, so I'm going to make sure it's everything she ever dreamed of." Harry smiled.
Part 3:
"Come on Gin. Time to come out and show it off." Hermione announced excited.
"Okay, but don't laugh at me." Ginny answered from behind the curtain.
"I'm not going to laugh at you. I promise! Now please come out." Hermione chuckled.
"Okay." Ginny breathed slowly.
She pulled back the curtain to reveal herself wearing a beautiful strapless white wedding dress flowing down her body to the ground below. As the sun shone threw the window, the diamonds around her waist and chest glistened like her eyes whenever they saw Harry. Ginny stood nervously as she awaited for Hermione's response. She was speechless. She never believed her friend could get more beautiful, but turn out she could, and she was standing right in front of her.
"Say something please!" Begged Ginny.
"Wow, Gin. You.. look.. absolutely.. beautiful!" Hermione said slowly as she struggled to pronounce words. Ginny simply blushed.
"How does it feel?" Asked Hermione still not being able to take her eyes off her.
"Amazing. It is so comfy and smooth." Grinned Ginny.
"So.. it's the one then?" Asked Hermione trying to contain herself.
"What do you think?" Laughed Ginny.
"I think heck yes! It looks amazing on you Gin. Harry will love it as well, which is always a bonus."
The two girls laughed as they hugged.
"Okay; now its time to find your dress!" Smiled Ginny.
"Haha. Oh I guess so." Laughed Hermione.
As the two girls searched around the room for a perfect maid of honour dress, Ginny had to bring up the conversation that was always on her mind other than her wedding.
"So, when do you think you and Ron will be getting married then?" She asked as she examined a long turquoise coloured silk dress.
"What do you mean? We're not getting married."
"I meant when do you think he's going to pop the question Hermione."
"I don't know. We haven't really talked about it. What do you think of this dress?" Hermione replied as she held up a violet knee length dress.
"Ehh, I think we could find something better. And what do you mean you haven't talked about it? You must have had thoughts about it at least."
"Well of course I've had thoughts about it, I just think there's no point worrying about it until it happens. Besides, it is your brother we're talking abut here, so it could take him years to propose, if it ever happens." Hermione shrugged.
"Come on Hermione. It's obvious you two love each other, do you think its time to take the next step?"
"We've only just moved in together. And besides, Ron's just started his new job, I just got promoted. Life is fine at the moment, we don't need anything to cause more stress. That's not to say that if he did propose I wouldn't accept, but still."
"You've been living together for 5 months already Hermione."
"Really? It cant have been 5 months surly."
Ginny nodded.
"Oh.. well still. Nothing is going to happen until we are both ready."
"Okay. Hey, what about this dress? Look, its light, you can move around in it, dance in it if you please, it's a great colour, and it would look great on you. Plus it's on special!" Ginny beamed as she held up a stunning dress perfect for Hermione.
"Perfect" Hermione smiled.
Part 4:
"Do you want to go see if the boys are still in Diagon alley?" Asked Ginny after they left the bridal shop in London.
"Yeah sure. I would love some of that famous ice cream Ron doesn't shut up about." Hermione replied as she licked her lips.
"Well theres no point apparating there, the Leaky Cauldron is only a couple of blocks away."
"Okay, so which way is it then." Hermione asked giggling.
"This way… I think." Laughed Ginny.
"Well, this can be our own little adventure. And if we get lost, well then we can find a little alleyway and apparate there." Giggled Hermione.
Soon enough, they found themselves at The Leaky Cauldron. The girls entered what looked like the abandoned tavern thrilled to have finally arrived.
"Miss Weasley, Miss Granger. What can I help you with today?" Tom asked happily.
"Hey Tom, we were just opening to get into Diagon Alley to see if our boyfriends were still there actually." Replied Hermione.
"You mean your boyfriend, I'm planning to see my fiancé." Smiled Ginny.
"Congratulations Future Mrs Potter. Let yourselves out the back ladies. Enjoy your time." Waved Tom as he took his place back behind his bar to continue wiping some glasses.
"Hes so lovely." Smiled Ginny as Hermione opened up the passage way.
"Yes he is, now where do you think these boys of ours are?" Asked Hermione as she glanced around at the busy Diagon Alley.
"Who knows; what about we check out the ice cream parlour first? They're probably still stuffing their face with ice cream." Suggested Ginny.
As the walked over to the parlour, they could see Harry and Ron still sitting out the front talking to Dean and Seamus.
"Hey guys." Hermione said the two girls approached the table.
"Hermione! Hey," Ron kissed her tenderly "Where have you been all day?"
"Long story, I'll tell you later. Hey Seamus and Dean! How have you guys been? Its been ages." Hermione said as she hugged the two boys and took a seat on Ron's lap.
"Yeah we've been good." Replied Dean and Seamus as they both hugged Ginny.
As the group talked about their lives after Hogwarts, the air became to grow colder and the sky began to grow darker.
"Storms coming, we better go. It was great catching up with you all." Dean and Seamus smiled as they waved goodbye.
"Yeah we better head to. So I'll see you tomorrow Gin?"Asked Hermione as she stood up, never letting go of Ron's hand.
"Yep. Bye guys." Ginny smiled as Ron and Hermione walked hand in hand down Diagon Alley.
"They're so adorable, don't you think?" Asked Ginny as she watched disappear through entrance.
"Yes they are. Glad it ended up how it did. We're all alive, Your with me, and Hermione's with Ron. Everything perfect and how it should be." Smiled Harry as he kissed Ginny's neck.
"Haha you're tickling me. Come on, I've got a treat for you at home." Ginny smiled seductively at her future husband.
"I'm right behind you." Harry said as he wrapped his arms around Ginny from behind as they walked down the alleyway.
Part 5:
"What do you want for dinner?" Asked Ron as he spoke through the bathroom door.
"Whatever you want, I don't mind." Answered Hermione as she opened the door to see only a towel wrapped around her and her hair pinned back. Ron's eyes widened as Hermione pushed him out of the room so she could get changed.
"Pizza it is." He said as the door closed behind him.
When Hermione came downstairs, she found the dishes washed, clothes folded and two big fluffy pillows and a large blanket resting on the couch.
"What all this?" Asked Hermione as a smile spread across her face.
"Ahh just a little something for you, to show I care." He said as he wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her close.
"Thank you Ronald, you shouldn't have." She smiled as she leaned in and gave him a kiss that meant a thousand words.
*ding dong*
"Ahh that will be the pizza delivery guy." He smiled as he gazed down at his smiling girlfriend.
"You ordered pizza for dinner?" She laughed.
"Of course. If it's going to be a night for you, do you really expect me to poison you with my cooking?"
Hermione laughed as she took a seat on the couch and threw the blanket over her. Ron placed the pizza box on the coffee table in front of them, beside the bottle of soft drink, a pile of movies and some pop corn ready to be cooked.
"So which movie do you want to watch first?" Ron asked as he sat back and let her search through the movies.
"Oh, defiantly this one first up." Hermione smiled. She was holding up her favourite movie at the time, 'Love Actually'
Ron rolled his eyes. "Of course" He smiled as he hoped up of the couch and placed the dvd into the player. When he sat back down, Hermione snuggled into his chest and pulled the blanket up.
"I love you Ron. Thank you, this is perfect." She smiled as she kissed him tenderly.
" I love you more" He answered as he placed his hand behind her head as he pulled her closer and deepened the kiss. Hermione flung her arms around his neck and pulled him on top of her. The movie began to start, so Ron gave her one more kiss and sat back up. Once again, Hermione snuggled into Ron's chest as he placed his arm around her shoulder.
*half way though the movie*
"Don't you think, the guy that brought the present for that girl instead of his wife sounds a lot like Snape?" Hermione asked as she pulled out another few pieces of popcorn.
"Yeah he does. It bloody terrifying how much he actually sounds like him." He replied.
Ron had seen this movie so many times, he was able to time his favourite line for Hermione perfectly.
"To Me, You Are Perfect." He said calmly as he looked down at his gorgeous girlfriend. She looked up at him with happiness and hope in her eyes that she pulled his head down for a passionate and meaningful kiss.
"That is the most romantic thing you have said to me yet, even if it did come from a movie" She laughed as tears of joy came to her eyes.
They both feel asleep on the couch, in each others arms before the movie even finished. It had been a long day, but it finished perfectly.
Part 6
As the sun shone throughout the house, and the morning breeze gently stirred the curtains, a smile spread across Hermione's face. She had dreamt an amazing dream, and now she had to wake up to reality. Except something happened, that doesn't usually happen in life; she woke to see that her 'dream' was reality. She had an amazing boyfriend who loved her as much as she loved him, and he was her best friend. They had so much history together fighting dark wizards, Hogwarts teachers, three headed dogs and so much more.
"He's the one." She thought to herself as she gazed up at her sleeping boyfriend. The sun slowly moved across his eye lids, causing him to stir a little bit, but fall right back to sleep. Hermione chuckled as she pulled herself up. To her surprise, something pulled her back.
"Good morning beautiful." Ron smiled as he tried to wake himself up.
"Good morning." Hermione laughed as she leaned up to kiss his cheek.
"How did you sleep?" Ron yawned
"Great. How about you?" She smiled rested her hand on his chest.
"Amazing. Care to join me for a shower?" He asked casually.
"Haha, you straight out with it aren't you."
Ron looked at her smiling as he waited for an answer.
"I'd love too."
He got up off the couch, took Hermione's hands and pulled her up gently, wrapping his arms around her waist as he lowered his head to give her a kiss. Hermione flung her arms around his neck and kissed him passionatly. He lifted her up as she wrapped her legs around his waist. She rested one hand behind his head as he asked to deepen the kiss; she happily accepted. Ron walked them to the bathroom where they enjoyed a long, hot and steamy shower together.
"So what are you doing today while I'm with Ginny?" Hermione asked as she pulled a t-shirt over her head.
"I don't know yet. Probably do something with Harry. I think he wants to do some more training for work, so maybe that. What are you and Gin doing?" He asked as he sat on the bed trying to put a shoe on.
"Umm, so more wedding preparation. I don't know how long I will be though." She answered as she slipped into her shoes.
"I hope not too long, I'll be all alone and miserable without you." Ron laughed as he wrapped his arms around her from behind.
"I wont be too late. I love you." She kissed him goodbye as she grabbed her bag and walked out the door.
"I love you more!" He yelled after her
"Not possible!" She yelled back.
Ron laughed as he glanced around the place. What was he going to do today? He decided to call Harry on that telephone thing. Hermione had only recently brought it, and Harry was the only one Ron had called. That was the only number he knew. He dialled the number slowly, and that funny noise started to go off. He guessed it meant it was working.
"Hello?" A voice came from the other end.
"Harry? Is that you?" Ron whispered.
"Ron? Its okay, you don't need to whisper, just talk normally." Harry laughed.
"Oh, okay. Is this good?" He asked as he spoke at a normal tone.
"Perfect. Hermione just got here; she says she misses you already"
"Tell her I miss her more," Ron laughed. "Anyway, did you want to do something today? Maybe go see George, or go to The Three Broomsticks?"
"Yeah sure. It's better than being here while the girls are doing something to do with the wedding. 'It's called organising!' " Ron laughed as he listened to his little sister butt into the conversation.
"Okay I'm sorry. What I meant is it's better than being here watching the girls ORGANISE things for the wedding. Better? 'Much better!" The two boys laughed until it became not funny anymore.
"Okay, so where do you want to meet?" Ron asked as he tried to control his laughter.
"I'll meet you in Diagon Alley, outside of Weasley Wizard Wheezes?"
"Yep sure, I'll see you there."
