Harry and Hermione were still standing in the tower overlooking the sunset. Ron came up and saw them. "What's going on, Guys?"

The two looked at their friend. "Nothing, Ron. I was just apologizing to Harry for how I was treating him." Hermione said. "Then he showed me this." She said showing him the fake horcrux. "It's a fake. It was meant to be a trick for Voldemort, but Harry got to it first and there was this note inside it." She then handed him the note.

"Who's initials are these?"

"We don't know. But we're gonna find out." Harry said.

"Then I'm coming with you too, Mate. I'm not one to pass up an adventure with you."

"That's what Hermione said. Only she wants to go because she doesn't want me going alone and she knows it'll take longer if she's not there since she's the bookworm."

Ron laughed at that last statement. "She cares a great deal for you, Harry. In fact, she's even told me she loves you. Her and I broke up. She wants you, Mate. You should consider it. I know I should be angry with you because of how I myself feel about her, but I'm not. I know it wouldn't work out between us and I want her to be happy. I also want my best mate to be happy and if that's from you two being together, then so be it. I'll be there to support you both."

"She really said she loves me?"

"Yeah, Mate. She did. And she thinks you don't want her because of Ginny."

"I broke up with Ginny because of Hermione. I realized that Hermione has always been there for me and she's always helped me even if I didn't want it. She can read me like an open book. She knows all my secrets. Ginny doesn't understand. Even though she's there, she just doesn't get it. You know what I mean?"

"Yeah I do. If it's Hermione you want, go get her." Ron said.

"Thanks, Mate." Harry replied and left to find where Hermione had gone off to. He found her twenty minutes later in the Gryffindor common room. "Hermione?"

Hermione Granger was sitting on the couch by the fireplace crying when she heard her name being called. She looked up and wiped her tears. "Oh. Harry. I'm sorry."

Harry sat down and pulled her to him. "What for? You have nothing to be sorry for. And you already apologized for the other thing."

"I came in here and Ginny said you two broke up. She said she knows and she's mad at me. She said if..." She started crying again.

Harry rubbed her back. "I broke up with her because I have feelings for someone else. I was talking to Ron and he mentioned something I never expected. Which is why I came looking for you." He said softly.

She looked up at his emerald green eyes. "Really? What was it?"

Harry slightly smiled and pulled her down for a soft kiss. It came as a bit of a surprise for her, but she got over it quickly and kissed him back. When they pulled away, Harry replied. "I love you too."

Hermione's tears turned from sad to happy and she jumped on him. "I love you so much, Harry."

He smiled and got down on one knee pulling out a small velvet box. He opened it up to reveal a nice platinum and silver mixed band with a heart-shaped red diamond in the middle. Hermione gasped. "Hermione Jean Granger, will you marry me?"

She nodded frantically. "YES!"

Harry James Potter smiled and put the ring on her finger. He got up and kissed her passionately. They continued their snog until Ginevra Weasley came down from the girls' dorm rooms. "WHAT THE HELL!?"

The couple parted and looked over to her. "Ginny..." Harry warned.

"I told you he's MINE! MINE, MINE, MINE, MINE, MINE!" She screamed and stomped over getting ready to hit Hermione.

Harry got up and blocked Hermione from the punch. He grabbed Ginny's fist as she swung. "You won't touch her!" He yelled.

"But you're my boyfriend. She shouldn't be kissing you."

"I told you, Ginny. We're over. Hermione's my fiance' and we're getting married. If I find you hurt her, I will never speak to you again." He said and he grabbed Hermione by the hand and apparated them to the burrow.

At the burrow, Molly Weasley was making dinner and heard a pop coming from the living room. She walked in and saw Harry and Hermione. "Hello, Dears. Is everything alright?" She asked concerned.

"Molly, do you remember me telling you about breaking up with Ginny?"

"Of course I do, Dear. What about it?"

"She didn't take it very well and she kind of took it out on Hermione."

"Oh dear. What happened?"

"I broke up with Ron and he understood. He took it quite well surprisingly. He had apparently told Harry how I felt and Harry came looking for me. We started to talk and once I found out he felt the same way for me, he proposed."

"Oh. Well that's great, DEAR! Congratulations!"

"Thanks, Molly." Hermione said. "But when we were snogging afterwards, Ginny came down from the girls' dorms and was screaming at me. She tried to hit me and Harry blocked it."

"I told her not to touch her and if I found she ever hurt her, I'd never speak to her again." Harry interjected.

"Good golly. Don't worry, Dears. I'll speak to her when she gets home and take care of it."

"Thanks, Molly. We'll see you soon." Harry replied and apparated them back to Gryffindor tower.
