A/N: I used the prompt hand and Fremione for the pairing. Disclaimer: I don't own Harry Potter.
Hermione Granger stood at the steps of her parent's house in Australia. Fred Weasley was standing beside her. He had insisted on coming when the war was over. She lifted her hand to ring the doorbell, but it started trembling. Fred wrapped an arm around her shoulders and kissed her cheek. "It'll be ok. I'm right here," he whispered. Hermione looked up at him with wide eyes, but she nodded and finally rang the doorbell. She took in a deep breath and held it when her father answered the doorbell. Words were lost on her, so Fred began speaking and asked if they could come in.
Her father led them to the couch and her mother joined him as well. "How may I help you?" he asked curiously, staring at her with concern in his eyes. Fred nudged her lightly and she reached for her wand wordlessly. She muttered a spell that would revive their memories and waited for a few seconds after it was over. A dazed expression fell upon their faces, but they recognized her moments later.
"Mom? Daddy?" Hermione whispered. Her father smiled when he recognized her. "Hermione! I missed you! Where are we?" He reached for a hug and she fell into his arms.
Tears collected in her eyes and she buried her head in his shoulder. "You are in Australia, daddy. I'm sorry, I had to protect you by making you forget about me. Can you forgive me?" Her mother ran a hand through her hair. "Of course, we can. You'll have to tell us everything. But first, who is this young man with you?" She nodded towards Fred.
Hermione looked over at Fred and a smile fell upon her face. She stood up and walked over to him. "This is Fred Weasley, my-" she cut herself off and glanced over at him. "Now is a good time," she said softly, running a hand on his arm. Fred looked startled at how quick the moment came, but he nodded.
"Mr. and Mrs. Granger, I love your daughter very much. We've been together for two years in secret. But I-" he trailed off and looked down at Hermione's hand for a second. "I asked her to marry me. I still want to ask permission for her hand in marriage. I want to spend the rest of my life with her, if you allow it."
Her parents looked at each other in surprise before turning to Hermione. "Do you love him? Does he make you happy?" Hermione beamed and nodded her head happily. "I love him with all my heart. He makes me very happy." Her parents remained quiet, but her dad finally nodded. "Ok. You can marry him if he makes you happy." Fred hugged Hermione tightly after her father gave them his permission before turning to her dad.
"Thank you, Mr. Granger. I'll always love and protect her," Fred promised him. "I know you will," her father answered, smiling. He turned to his daughter. "Let's go home, Hermione. We can catch up there." Hermione grinned and took them home.
