The Forest of Dean

It was late one night, early winter; Hermione had finished later than planned at the Ministry. She made her way out of the Ministry with her bag, yawning as she got outside. Stood by the door waiting for her was a handsome young man, her boyfriend since the end of the war, who went by the name of Fred Weasley.

"What took you so long Mione?" Fred laughed as he wrapped her in a big hug and kissed her lightly on the lip. "Work. You know how it is." She replied and kissed him back.

Fred took Hermione's bag and held out his hand for her to take. As she took hold of his hand she felt the familiar tightening around their bodies as they apperated. A few seconds later they were on their feet, well almost, Hermione stumbled as she was tired from work but Fred caught her.

Hermione recognised the place immediately, "the forest of dean?" she questioned Fred. Without saying a word he took her hand and led her down the path a short way, soon they came across a table set out for two. Fred pulled out the chair and Hermione took her seat and he tucked her in. Suddenly out of nowhere came George with two trays of what only could have been Mrs Weasley's home cooking.

They sat chatting about work and the joke shop as they ate with George waiting on them playing small joke here and there. As they finished their dessert s Hermione finally got round to asking Fred why he had brought her to her favourite place this evening. Without a word Fred got up and stood in front of Hermione as she turned round in her chair.

"Miss Granger, I have loved you with all my heart for many a year now, you are the smartest, funniest, craziest most beautiful woman I have ever set eyes on. I never, ever want to be without you." He knelt down to one knee and took out a small box with a stunning ring inside, a shining sapphire surrounded by a swirling otter. "Hermione Jean Granger, would you do me the honour of becoming my Mrs Weasley? Will you marry me?"

Without thinking Hermione flung her arms round his neck and pressed her lips against his "I take that as a yes" Fred joked as he slipped the ring onto her finger and pulled her into a hug and kissed her again. "Yes" Hermione answered, "I love you."
