Awake in a Dream

I never thought that one day

You'd become a part of my life

Ron liked Hermione; he'd always liked her, of course. But he never knew that he'd grow to love her. Not just as a friend; as a soulmate.

Still you were always with me

When I lay my head down at night

She was always there for him. He knew that, but he never took it into consideration. Hermione was always the one to comfort him, to console him. She never left his side when he needed her.

Could you really be here with me

And has my wish come true tonight

Ron held her hand as they walked through the village of Hogsmeade. He flashed a smile at her; she smiled back and squeezed his hand.

'Cause now, now it seems

I'm wide awake in this dream

Holding her hand, seeing her smile, everything about her makes Ron lightheaded. She's everything he could ever ask for. Beyond perfect: A dream.

And I'd do, I'd do anything

To stay here forever

If the moment ended, it would be only too soon.

And if this a dream

I'm not gonna wake up

But if I'm awake, I

Won't close my eyes again

Ron cherishes every moment they spent together. It had taken him this long to finally have her as his own, that every second they have is too good to let go.

Oh I feel like I'm flyin'

Hermione leaned in and kissed Ron on the cheek.

I'm sure my feet are still on the ground

He blushed crimson and smiled his adorable smile. He squeezed her hand as they walked further down the street.

Open my eyes and it's amazing

How my world has changed when I look around

The world is ten times more beautiful when he's with Hermione. Everything just seems to lighten up when he's in her presence. The streets of Hogsmeade, the feather-light snow that covers their surroundings in a blanket of white always seem to glow along with her smile.

It's like I've found the road straight to heaven, and

The road has lead me right here to you

They reached the end of the High Street, the path leading into the forest. Hermione looked up at him, a smile on her face. Without thinking, she grabbed his sleeve and pulled him along with her, into the snowy wood.

'Cause now, now it seems

I'm wide awake in this dream

And I'd do, I'd do anything

To stay here forever

Ron ran childishly after her, like they used to. Hermione never seemed to grow out of old habits, but that way the way he liked her; the way he loved her. So simple…Simply Hermione.

And if this a dream

I'm not gonna wake up

But if I'm awake, I

Won't close my eyes again

Hermione stopped when they were well out of sight and earshot of anyone. Taking a step towards Ron, she pressed her lips firmly against his as the rest of the world melted around them.

Everything I'll ever need

Is standing right in front of me

As they kissed, Ron wondered how he ever doubted she was the one. He'd always been insecure about his height, his looks, his wealth (or lack thereof), but when she kissed him, he came to the realization that she was really all he needed. All of Ron's problems disappeared whenever Hermione was around.

You've given me more than I've ever asked of you

And all I can do

Is give forever to you

Rummaging in his pocket, Ron bent down on one knee and smiled up at her. Her hands slowly lifted to cover her mouth as he opened the small box from his pocket.

"Hermione Granger, will you marry me?"

'Cause now, now it seems

I'm wide awake in this dream

Overcome with emotion, she nodded happily and threw herself into his arms. Rolling around in the snow like puppies, they kissed once more.

'Cause now, now it seems

I'm wide awake in this dream

And I do I do anything

To stay here forever

As they laid there in the snow, the treetops glistening in the snow, the sun shining overhead, they made their vow to each other; a vow of promise, of hope, of love. A bond that can't be broken, not with a thousand knives; nor stolen, not by a thousand thieves. The kind of connection that only happens in fairy tales: True love.

And if this is a dream

I'm not gonna wake up

But if I'm awake, I

Won't close my eyes again
