Hermione Granger stands in front of a full-length mirror, while her best friend, Ginny Weasley, sits on her bed. They were getting ready in Ginny's room in the burrow. "Hermione, don't be nervous." "What are you talking about? I'm not nervous. Why would I be nervous?" "Hermione, don't lie to me. Spill." Hermione walks over to Ginny and stops in front of her. "I'm terrified. What if it goes wrong? What if I say something stupid? What if I make a fool of myself? What if I-" "Hermione! Calm down! It's just a date!" "Just a date? Just a date? It's a date with your brother!" "So? He's just a stupid git." Hermione slowly turns and sits down next to her friend on the bed. "No, Gin. I mean, what if he doesn't like me?" Ginny turns and gives Hermione her serious face. "Really?" "What?" "HE'S the one who asked YOU out! And I mean, come on, did you not notice how nervous he was about it? He couldn't stop rubbing his neck!" She laughs, and gets up to go to her closet. The memories of that day slowly fill Hermione's mind again.
It was 3 weeks after the war, everyone had still been grieving, but were slowly being healed. Hermione sat on a swing outside of the Burrow, feeling the blades of grass through her toes. The light blue sky had now changed into a dark pink and orange sunset. She could hear soft footsteps slowly approaching her. She knew it was him. The silence is interrupted by the sound of the swing going back and forth slowly. "Hey." "Hi." The awkwardness returns as they silently sway on the swings. "I uhm, I was wondering something." She turns to him, seeing the tips of his ears turning red as he rubs his neck over and over again. "Yeah?" She asks nervously. "Uhm, do you remember, during the war, when we, uhm, kissed?" He looks down at his bare feet playing in the grass."How could I forget?" He looks up at her, and sees her brown eyes looking towards the sun. "Do, uhm, do you regret it?" She finally looks at him, while biting her lip. "No. Do you?" He smiles, and whispers "Nope." The silence between the teenagers grows more every second until he speaks again. "Will, uhm, willyougooutwithme?" She looks over at his face, now wearing its adorable Weasley blush she has seen over the years, and giggles. "Pardon? I didn't quite catch that." She said with a hint of a smile on her face, letting him know she heard perfectly clear. "Uhm… will you go out with me?" He says with a smile. "I'd love to." They both smile at each other, as he gets up. He walks towards Hermione, bends down, and places a soft, yet sweet kiss on her lips. He pulls away, smiling, and walks back towards the house. She sits on her swing, and touches her lips with her fingertips. She looks towards the Burrow to see Ron walking back inside with a huge grin on his face.
"Hermione? HERMIONE!" She snaps back into reality as Ginny throws more clothes at her. "What?" Ginny stops, and looks at her with a grin spreading across her face. "You were thinking about it, weren't you?" She smiles, and slowly nods. "Here, try these on." She throws 2 dresses at me, a purple one with flowy sleeves that falls right above the knee, and a light blue one with a low cut neckline and a white flower pattern that falls below the knee. A few minutes later, I come out of the bathroom in the purple dress. "That one! The blue one doesn't even match up to how amazing you look!" "I haven't even tried the blue one on yet." Ginny gets up and walks into her closet, walking out with a pair of white flats. "So? This one makes you look hot!" "Ginny!" The girls both laugh as Hermione tries on the shoes, grinning. "I'm actually going to do this." "Yeah you are! Don't be nervous! You've gone out with him before!" "Yeah, but as friends. This is a date." "Don't worry, you'll be fine."
