A/N: I own nothing except the plot and if I choose to put in any new
characters! This is just going to be a short fic, I just felt like writing
something other then the stories I have been working on!
Will you!
Harry Potter was in the middle of his seventh year at Hogwarts school of Witchcraft and Wizardry. He and Hermione Granger had been dating since their fifth year when they finally both realized they had feelings for each other.
"Ron, are you going to stay for Christmas this year?" Hermione asked one of her best friends while they were doing homework in the Gryffindor common room.
"I'm sorry, I would like to but I can't." Ron told Hermione and Harry.
"Why not, it's our last year here!" Harry complained.
"I know, I want to but my mum's making me come home because she thinks I will move out right after we graduate, fat chance of that happening!" Ron laughed.
"Cant you tell her that?" Harry asked.
"Common Harry, you know my mum!"
"Your right, no chance, oh well I guess it will just be you and me Hermione!" Harry told his girlfriend putting an arm over her shoulder. Harry had grown to be about 5'11" and Hermione was still about 5'2" so Harry was a lot taller then her. He rested his head on her shoulder.
"I guess so, I've talked to some other people and it doesn't sound like anybody else in Gryffindor is staying either!" Hermione said looking up at her boyfriend.
"Oh well, we are just going to have to keep each other company!" Harry smiled.
"Ah yes, well I am rather tired I best be going to bed, goodnight boys!" She smirked.
"Goodnight Hermione!" Ron called from the couch.
Harry followed her to the stairs and kissed her lightly.
"Goodnight!" He whispered.
"Goodnight, I'll see you in the morning."
"Love you Hermione."
"Love you too!" She headed up the stairs and Harry walked back to the couch where Ron was sitting and plopped down next to him.
"So Christmas will be the perfect opportunity, you going to ask her?" Ron asked Harry smiling.
"I think so!" Harry said thinking for a moment.
"Did you get the ring yet?" Ron asked.
"Yup!"
"Can I see it?"
"Sure I'll go and get it." Harry ran up the stairs into the Head Boy's dormitory and picked up the little black box and shoved it into his pocket in case Hermione came out of the Head Girls Room for some reason.
When he got back to the common room he took it out again.
"Wow that's really nice!" Ron said looking at the ring.
It really was beautiful. In the middle of the setting there was a big square diamond. Then around the diamond there were little diamond. The band was sterling silver. Harry also had the man at the store engrave Harry and Hermione together forever inside the band.
"So are you serious with anyone lately?" Harry asked his friend putting the box back in his pocket.
"No, not really ever since Jennifer, I really haven't found any body." Ron said.
Ron usually went through girls' weeks at a time. The longest he ever dated a girl was Jennifer Bradley, a 7th year Ravenclaw. He dated her for almost a whole month! Before that he dated Lavender Brown, Lucille Franc, Tracie Redder, and even Cho Chung.
"Oh well, keep looking Ron, I'm sure you will find the perfect one eventually!" Harry told Ron.
"Thanks Harry, now I think I will be getting to bed too! I mean tomorrow I do have to go home again!" Ron said laughing.
"Not a bad idea, I think I will get to bed too!"
"Goodnight!"
"Goodnight!"
Harry had not had a nightmare since the end of third year when Ron, Hermione and himself had defeated Voldemort, finally killing him forever. Tonight Harry dreamed about Hermione and his life in the future. He pictured the two of them in a large kitchen in a beautiful house with three kids eating breakfast together.
The next morning Harry woke up extra early. He checked that the engagement ring was in its secret compartment in his trunk and smiled at it.
'Hermione you just wait' he thought to himself.
"Bye Ron, see you in January!" Hermione and Harry called together.
"Let's go back to the castle and eat some breakfast!" Harry said grabbing her hand after Ron's train pulled away.
"Ok Harry!"
They walked into the great hall together a moment later and saw how beautifully the house elves had decorated for Christmas. Since it was snowing outside, it was also snowing inside, only it wasn't cold it was warm! There was about fifty trees all decorated with shining lights and Christmas music was constantly playing.
"Care to dance?" Harry asked holding out his arm.
All of the long tables were gone and were replaced with two small round tables that would seat about six each. All of the teachers were gone except for Dumbledore and MGonnagol. There were two Ravenclaws and four Hufflepuffs that also stayed. Luckily there was no Slytherins.
"Ok!" Hermione said smiling.
The song silent night was playing so they slow danced until the end of the song.
"Why don't we go sit down and get ourselves some breakfast?" Harry said to his now much prettier girlfriend. She had grown out her hair so it was down to her waist and the frizz had become more of a wave. She smiled more often and wore cuter style clothes. Instead of wearing sweaters and skirts on the weekends she wore sweatpants and t-shirts. She definitely had developed a better sense of style.
The next day was Christmas and Harry woke up at 7:00 and found himself in the head girl dormitory. It took him a minute to figure out what happened and then he remembered. Last night Hermione had had a scary dream and had come into the common room and found Harry there. He comforted her then she asked him to stay with him so he slept in Hermione's bed. Nothing serious had happened, don't worry!
He rolled over and poked her shoulder. She fluttered her eyes open and stared up at him.
"Good morning Harry, Happy Christmas!" She smiled.
"Happy Christmas to you too love!" He smiled and grabbed her hand and pulled her out of bed. "I'm going to go in my room for a minute to change, wait for me to open presents, Ok?"
"Ok Harry!" She smiled and walked into the bathroom.
Harry quickly walked out of the door and into his room. He quickly changed and grabbed the ring and real diamond earrings that matched the ring. He walked back into the common room and waited for her to return. In a few minutes she walked in with a medium sized box.
"Ok, ready to open presents?" Harry asked smiling.
"Ready, here you open mine first!" She said handing him the box.
"Thanks Hermione!" Harry said carefully tearing at the wrapping paper. He opened it to find a photo album of him and his parents and him, Hermione, and Ron.
"Thanks Hermione I love it!" He told her. The album looked very expensive, it was silver and on the front cover the words, friendship, family, love life's, time's to remember were engraved. "It's the best gift I have ever gotten.
"Ok now you open mine!" Harry said, first of course pulling out the earrings.
"Thanks Harry"!" Hermione said taking the small box in her hand wondering if it could be-nah, he doesn't want to make that kind of commitment yet, even if I do, she thought sadly.
She pulled out the diamond earrings and put them on immediately.
"Oh Harry, there beautiful I love them!" She exclaimed looking in the big mirror in the common room.
"Oh and there is something else too, but why don't I give it to you outside, it's snowing!" Harry said looking out the window.
"Ok!" Hermione said pulling on her coat.
Harry grabbed her hand once they both put their coats on and started walking outside. He led her to a tree. It was the tree where he asked her out not even three years ago.
"I love this place; it is probably my favorite place in all of Hogwarts!" Hermione told Harry standing beside him.
"I love this place too; I'm sure going to miss it." He said taking both of her hands in his. He kissed her lightly, not letting go for one or two minutes. She leaned her forehead on his. 'This has to be the greatest moment of my life' she thought.
Suddenly Harry broke away from her and pulled a little black box from out of his pocket. He got down on one knee and held Hermione's left hand in his as he opened the box.
"Hermione Elizabeth Granger, will you marry me?" He asked and smiled.
She looked at the ring in the box. It was beautiful. Oh my God, he's asking me to marry him! She thought then smiled.
"Yes Harry, Yes, I love you!" She finally squealed out.
He slid the ring on her finger and stood up. He kissed her, longer and more passionately then last time though!
About five minutes later they finally broke from their kiss. "I love you Mione." Harry whispered in her ear.
"I love you too Harry!"
"Why don't we go and owl your parents!" Harry said holding her hand his fingers intertwined with hers.
"Ok that sounds great!" She said. They ran back up to the castle hand in hand, running very closely to each other as it was very cold.
"Ok Mione, you can use Hedwig if you want!" Harry said once they were finished with the letter.
"Ok but let me read it to you one more time!" Hermione said.
"Ok!"
"Dear Mum and Dad,
Merry Christmas! I miss you guys both so much. I thank you for the beautiful gifts that you sent me! I'm sorry I could not be there today but I did not want to leave Harry here all alone. I have some very good news. This morning Harry and I went on a walk outside and he led me to my favorite spot on the grounds and he proposed and I accepted! I love him with all of my heart. You both seemed to love him as well this summer when he stayed with us so hopefully you will grow to love him as your new son-in- law. We have not decided the date yet but we will talk about it more in the future! Please owl me back! I love you both! Merry Christmas!
Love, Mione"
"That sounded perfect!" Harry told her tying the letter to Hedwig, "Now lets go back to the common room, I never realized how cold it was up here!"
"Ok!"
"I cant wait until all of our friends come back!" Hermione said later on the couch in the common room. Harry had his arm around her and she had her head on her shoulder. "Yea I bet Ron will be proud of me that I finally asked you!" Harry said laughing.
"He knew?" Hermione asked.
"Yes I had the ring for a while but I haven't had the courage, I've been going to Ron for some advice, since he will be my best man of course in the wedding!" Harry told her.
"You asked Ron, the guy who cant keep a relationship for two months for advice!" Hermione laughed.
"Wait I have an idea, lets go tell Dumbledore!" Harry said obviously wanting to spread the news.
"I wonder what he will have to say about it!" Hermione said holding out her hand for Harry to help her up.
"Oh I see how it is! I help you up once today and now it's my job huh?" Harry said grabbing her hand and pulling her up.
"Oh well I thought you were just turning into a polite young gentleman!" Hermione said letting go of his hand and turning away fighting giggles.
"Ok, I give in, I am!" Harry replied laughing and grabbing her around the waist. She turned around and stared into his green eyes and gave him a kiss. "Thanks!" Harry laughed.
"Anytime!" Hermione said resting her head on his shoulder.
"Lets go tell Dumbledore then!" Harry said walking out of the room.
"Ok!"
A/N: Ok I'm going to stop here for now! Was it bad??? Personally I thought it was semi-boring but I was just getting bored with my one story and wanted to write something new!!! Please no flames! I have low self- esteem! But please review!
Will you!
