Harry & Hermione fluff. I do not own the characters, J.K. Rowling is Our Queen.
Harry Potter has never felt so nervous in his twenty-one years of life. Facing Voldemort was a walk in the park compared to the weight he felt in his pocket.
He bought the ring when him and his long time girlfriend went on a trip to Romania. They had a great time with Charlie Weasley and his girlfriend Gabrielle but it made them miss the good times with Ron.
Ron died in the war, Harry and Hermione clung onto each other when it felt their entire world was spinning out if control. And Harry was not going to let his best friends memory ever go away.
The ring had the date of the war engraved on the inside & the date the trio first met. The stone was a beautiful yellow diamond, the same color as Crookshanks eyes.
Harry took a deep breath and smoothed his sweaty palms on his jeans. He felt like a coward hiding in the loo of a restaurant while Hermione sat at their table waiting for him.
He planned this fancy dinner and was all prepared to woo her to saying "Yes." He just felt the weight of the ring mixed with the weight of his nervousness. Hermione had no idea how important tonight was and he felt his knees quake.
He stared at himself in the mirror, glanced at his ever present scar on his forehead. He use to feel pain when he saw it but he felt strength looking at it now. Just as Hermione gives him strength.
With that last thought, he turned out of the bathroom and headed to their table. Hermione smiled when she looked up at him but her brows were furrowed saying "Anything wrong, Harry?"
He gulped before he bent down on one knee right by her chair and grasped her hand in his heated palm. He stumbled over his words as he rushed out "H-Hermione you are my best friend and I love you and I want you to marry me!"
His breath came out in gasps he said that all in one breath. Hermione stared at him wide eyes and he fumbled the ring box out of pocket. He opened up the box with shaking hands and Hermione gasped softly as he held out the ring to her.
Hermione started to cry softly as she said "Oh Harry. My Harry." She held out her own trembling hand as he slid the ring on her hand. She softly said "Yes." He didn't hear at first and she quickly said "Oh yes, yes!"
She was a blur of emotions as she laid a big kiss on his lips, wrapping her arms around him and he kisses her back. She broke the kiss and said again gently "I do." He smiled happily thinking to himself "Yes."
