It was a bright sunny morning and Hermione Granger was sitting on an armchair in the Burrow reading one of her favorite books. Just then Ginny walked into the room holding a piece of parchment in her hand and said, "Just got a letter from Ron. They should meet us at 3 Broomsticks in about 10 minutes."
"Well that's great isn't it? It gives me just enough time to finish this chapter, get dressed and then use floo network to get there!" said Hermione.
After precisely 7 minutes, both the girls were almost ready.
"Hey could you put this necklace on for me?" asked Ginny. She was dressed in a white dress and was wearing a gold chain around her neck. "You know Ron has been talking about you even more now for the past 3 weeks since you two have started going out." Seeing a smile on Hermione's face Ginny continued, "He just won't stop! Mum loves it though. But Fred and George never let a day go by without teasing him about it."
Hermione's smile turned into a laugh. "Ready?" she asked Ginny after hearing some more about the forever entertaining Weasley twins.
"Ready" Ginny replied.
The two girls looked beautiful. Hermione was dressed in blue dress and had a white bracelet on her hand. They walked up to the fireplace. "You first," said Ginny ushering Hermione into the fireplace.
Hermione stepped in, took some floo powder in her hand and said as clearly as possible, " Three Broomsticks!" A flying sensation rushed through her and before she knew it she was in 3 Broomsticks.
She spotted Harry at a table and walked over. Only seconds later Ginny joined them.
"Umm…Hermione...,"stuttered Harry, " Mrs. Weasley has just informed me that Bill told her that Dean told him that George told him that Ron has asked you to marry him!" he finished off in a hurry.
Hermione, being as smart as she was, was only momentarily baffled. "Harry, are you saying that Ron is asking me to marry him?!" she asked, her eyes gleaming.
"Completely,"said Ron who had just apparated in front of Hermione. He bent down on one knee and held out a tiny box in his hand. " Hermione, will you marry me?"
Tears of joy filled Hermione's eyes. She nodded.
"Bloody hell! Realy?! You will?! Wow!" said Ron evidently shocked at Hermione's answer.
"Why always the tone of surprise?" said Hermione as she opened the tiny box. A ring floated out. It was silver and it had the words " Swish and Flick" on it. Hermione laughed and caught the ring. Ron took it from her and put it on her finger.
Seeing his two best friends happy, Harry put his arm around Ginny and she said smiling looking at her brother and new sister-in –law," About time, don't you think?"
