"But Ron, I don't want to see the garden. I've seen it a million times!" Hermione voiced as Ron pulled her towards the gnome infested garden at the burrow. Ron turned around but didn't let go of her hand just yet.
"I know darling." He cooed rather sweetly for Ron. He obviously wanted her to stay. "But just look. We found a new type of gnome! This one seems rather intelligent. I thought you would like to see." Hermione bent down to look at the gnome that was trapped in a plastic bowl thanks to George.
"Oh, well, yes, I would love to have a look at him." Hermione said, already deep in observation. Ron backed up slowly.
"OK, well just come in when you are done." He turned around when he entered the house. "OK." Ron said, clapping his hands together. George looked up from his box of jokes and pranks he was messing with. "Mum and Dad are gone, Ginny and Harry are up stairs and promised they wouldn't come down. Hermione should be busy for a few minutes. George, you know what to do." George spent the next five minutes setting up for Ron while Ron himself paced the kitchen going over what to do.
Hermione turned the door handle just as George finished with the powder. As soon as Hermione walked in, George, who had been hiding behind a corner, threw some instant darkness powder into the kitchen. Immediately the room was pitch black, If Ron hadn't been in position already, he would not have been able to find his way.
Hermione, knowing the counter curse for the prank, pulled out her wand and the darkness disappeared. However, she was not expecting the kitchen to be covered in rose petals Ron down on one knee in the center of the room.
"Hermione, you make me so happy by just standing next to me. I love you so much it hurts, I can't bare the thought of ever being with out you. Will you mar-" Ron was cut off by Hermione as she swung her arms around his neck.
"Oh of course I will!" She kissed him then let him stand up straight.
"Just wait, Harry's gonna propose to Ginny later. Oops, don't tell her that. I never could keep a secret." Ron smiled as Hermione kissed him again.
George looked around the corner, smiled and walked up stairs, pocketing the extra darkness powder.
