After examining the ornate design on the envelope, she looked to him for an explanation, but all the got was an encouraging smile. She stared a little while longer.

"Go on, open it." he urged gently.

She hesitated, hoping it would make a last second decision to reveal its contents, before she gently pulled the ribbon off and opened it.

Divorce papers. Fully drawn up, complete and signed divorce papers. She smiled. Hermione had never, in her life, thought she would be happy to see divorce papers.

She looked up at him all glassy-eyed as the tears began to flow freely down her cheeks.

"So, it's done then? Everything is final?" she knew the answer, but she wanted to hear him say it.

Still smiling, he scooted across to her side of the booth, reached for her hand and kissed her knuckles.

"Yes, it's done." he said with lips still pressed to her skin.

He moved to cup her cheeks, wiped her tears and gazed lovingly into her eyes before he brought his lips to hers.

"Happy birthday, Granger." he whispered between kisses.

This was it. What she has been waiting on for the past three years. And finally, it happened.
