Things hadn't always gone her way but it was something she had slowly become accustomed too and managed on her own. But this was different, it felt like it sucked all the energy and control she had managed to gain. He'd comeback as quick as he had once left her in the corridors in Hogwarts School of Wizardry.
Hermione gently leaned onto her passage seat window as Ron drove to their lovely English style cottage. It had been five years since he-who-must-not-be-named was defeated. After the war was over everyone went into their separate directions even if she hated to accept it. Ginny married Harry as soon as she had finished all her years at Hogwarts, it was a glorious wedding to say the least. All in all it was the wedding of the boy who lived, she loved Harry and Ginny but sometimes she'd wonder what if they've had, had the choice to be a normal witch or wizard, how different their lives would have turned out.
First in of all, she wouldn't be here, in this blue leather passenger seat with Ron Weasley as her husband. She wouldn't be a housewife, as she called it. She'd be out and about, conquering and making new discoveries in the wizardry world. And she'd be with Draco Malfoy, the only man who has truly caused a fiery passion to erupt in her soul.
She usually didn't return on these thoughts but today was no usual day, that is why Ron took her out to the meadow where he had proposed to her a year ago, the place where they were also married. He knew how today was such an important day and how it was able to affect his wife.
Today after five years, Draco Malfoy was a free man, no longer incarcerated in the prison of Azkaban. He longer held a grudge to him as he did five years ago, time had passed and Ron had grown and matured. He'd been the shoulder for Hermione to cry on, just as she had been his, in the end he knew that he cared much more than he had let on all those years. He wanted her happy and he knew he could provide all the things she needed. When he asked her to marry him, he was actually surprised when she said yes, since she didn't say it ,right in that moment. He realized in that moment that although Hermione loved him, there was a part of herself that she was keeping hidden from him. But he also told himself that he would fight, he'd be a great husband because he loved her and someday she'd tell him everything. But he had to admit in moments like this he doubted if he was enough for her, he knew enough of Malfoy's past with Hermione to understand that he was still a huge part of her and Ron simply didn't know how to erase that past from her being.
