"This is a disaster!"

"Oh Ron calm down, it's nothing of the sort,"

"Of course it is! How dare he? Our little girl-"

"Ron! You're acting like she's been attacked!"

"Hasn't she!"

"That's enough Ronald! They're getting married and it's high time you made your peace with that!" Hermione put her foot down, ending the argument.

"This has been amazing. I wish it didn't have to end," Rose sighed as she leaned against her lover in the sun on a tropical island.

"I know, best few years of my life," he replied.

They lay listening to the ocean for a few peaceful minutes more.

"Let's not end it."

"I wish"

"Rose, will you marry me?"

"Really? You mean it?"

He nods, smiling.

"Of course!" She squeals and hugs him close.

July 30th, 2026 – Morning

"Mum! Dad! I'm home!"

Rose was enveloped in a crushing hug from her parents. She'd been away travelling for two years now ever since she'd left Hogwarts. She'd seen the world, met amazing people and had multitudes of new experience and now finally she'd returned home to start a job at the Daily prophet in a week's time.

"Tell us everything! Did you meet the elves that create the northern lights? Did you swim with the mermaids of the Mediterranean? And what about the Goblins that live in the heart of Mount Everest!" Hermione couldn't wait to hear about her daughter's travels.

"Yes all of those things. I got some Himalayan mine dust from the Everest-goblins for you to experiment with by the way. But the best news first. I'm getting married!" Rose announced with a grin she couldn't contain.

Ron's jaw dropped. Hermione hugged her daughter again. "Congratulations!"
