A/N: This idea just popped into my mind. And again, please bear with my grammar. I just want to share my imagination of things. xD P.S. most characters who are supposed to be dead by this time are alive. I just don't feel like killing them. :))

Disclaimer: Harry Potter is Hermione's - err - JK Rowling's. :)

Chapter 1: Time to Get Started

After the final battle with Voldemort, which was considered the most destructibr war, everyone agreed to cooperate with each other to quickly repair and rebuild the best wizarding school they knew - Hogwarts. The staff, students including their families, even Dobby and his friends exerted effort to fix the school and its grounds. The school was not only physically destroyed, but also emotionally. The people around were feeling devastated as ever; so they needed each other badly to overcome the grief that had come across their lives. After a month of work within the school grounds, another month was given to them to help them recover with their families from what had gone through.

It was their seventh year now at Hogwarts. It's been a month since classes has resumed. Leaves began falling, and it seemed that autumn gave students a good mood. Hogwarts looks perfectly...perfect once more.Everyone is done making adjustments, after what happened during the war. It looks like the school is back to its usual state.

Harry, Ron and Hermione had just finished their Potions class with Professor Snape. Snape was now being nicer to Harry, after all the revelations that popped out. Harry and Ron headed to the great hall for, well, food. Hermione is currently heading to her favorite class, Arithmancy.

Harry wanted to go to Hagrid's hut, but he can't just stop Ron. They now entered the great hall, with a few students eating snacks. As Harry and Ron sat down, Ron immediately grabbed a plate and started filling it up with a large steak and pasta. Harry just want to have his regular chicken sandwich.

"So Harry, what is this really-serious-stuff that you want to talk about?" asked Ron, munching the steak away. "Do we really need to go to Hagrid's for that?" he continued.

"I don't feel like telling you right now at this place," said Harry, eyeing other students around.

"Hmm. Is it that private, Harry? C'mon, there's no Rita Seeker around." said Ron in a lower voice. Ron thinks that Seeker is a more appropriate surname for Rita.

"Ohh, fine. This is giving me headaches, anyway." Harry lowered his head and said softly, "Uhm, you know that I truly fancy Hermione for some time now right? I guess I need to make a move."

"Or shall we say for years, Harry? Good, you've finally come to your senses. And that was bloody brilliant!" he said, almost shouting at the last part.

Harry smiled at his response. It's true, he fancy her for years. But wait, is Ron choking?

Oh no.

Harry instantly reached for a glass of water and handed it to Ron.

"Ron, are you all right?" he asked, quite looking concerned.

"Y-yeah mate." Ron said, coughing a bit.

"I thought you suddenly realized that you're jealous!" Harry said, smiling at the thought.

"WHAT? NO! I mean, I usually-or-daily imagine myself dating Luna, you know that." Ron responded in a soft voice.

And yes, Harry knows that. All of them became really good friends. They even planned to go to Ottery St. Catchpole to pay the Lovegood House a visit. By the time he started "coming to his senses" about how he really felt for Hermione, Ron started daydreaming about Luna as well.

"It's just, are you sure that you'd want Hargrid, 'Mr. Oh-that-fire-breathing-worm-was-cute', can actually help you with this stuff?" he continued, wiping his mouth with his hanky.

Harry chuckled. They all know that Hagrid's life revolve around these 'cutie' creatures of his. "I just thought that he might have some good ideas like-"

"Like, 'go to the forbidden forest and do some stargazing there with the unicorns!'" Ron exclaimed.

Harry laughed and said, "Oh Ron, don't be silly. Let's try giving him a chance to suggest. He might have good experiences, you know, with Madame Maxime."

Who'd forget Madame Maxime? And as everyone could tell, Hagrid had his eyes on her. Well, the Yule Ball says it all.

"Fine. We're going there." Ron answered, almost absentmindedly.

"All right, let's give it a go then?" Harry asked. "Of course, after you enjoy your food." Harry said, taking a last bite of his sandwich.

Ron nodded, now slicing a piece of cake.

"We need to make it fast, before my Hermione finishes her class. I don't want her finding us there and wonder why we went without her." Harry said while looking down at his watch.

Ron only gave him another nod.

Harry is having headaches for days now. It feels worse than those examinations or those vacations with the Dursleys. His brain doesn't want to cooperate as if it doesn't approve of Hermione.

But of course it approves, Harry thought.

A perfect proposal is what he wants, but he couldn't just figure out how. He feels extremely anxious now.

Hermione was currently heading to her Arithmancy class. She's having a quick pace because she wants to have a clean record about promptness.

"Hey, Hermione! Wait!" a girl called out. It's Luna Lovegood. They became really close friends after all that had happened. Yes, they might differ in their attitude or beliefs, but they also have a lot of other things that they both enjoy. And one of these is their usual 'girl talk.'. Luna even joins the Golden Trio sometimes when they hang out outside Hogwarts. Luna is now walking beside Hermione.

"Oh Luna! I'm so sorry I forgot to meet you downstairs. It's just, I feel bothered." Hermione said, slowing down a bit.

"It's okay Hermione. What's this stuff bothering you now?" Luna asked curiously.

"Ugh, it's about-. Let's talk about it later, after class maybe?" Hermione replied, linking her arm with Luna's.

"Okay, just don't let it bother your thoughts during class. You know Professor Vector doesn't like students who were mentally absent during class." said Luna, looking concerned.

There was a time in Arithmancy when Lavender Brown wasn't really paying much attention to Vector. Vector gave her a long terrifying glare. That's when she realized her unintended mistake. Before she can even explain, she was given fifty pages of homework plus fifty points was taken from Gryffindor. Professor Vector became furious through out the whole period, that even the great Hermione Granger didn't take the chance to recite.

"Yeah Luna. I don't like the idea of spending my time answering fifty pages of stressful work and no more points are to be taken from our house." said Hermione, assuring her.

"And Luna," she added.

"Yeah?"

"I really appreciate that you agreed to join me in Arithmancy class. I just love your company." Hermione said, smiling.

"If you hadn't hugged me so tightly while saying please at that time, I might not have joined you." Luna said.

They both laughed and they finally reached the Arithmancy classroom.
