~*~*~

Hermione walked through Diagon Alley for the day. She didn't really need anything, she just wanted to look around, get out and away from work. As she turned the corner of one of the stores, she saw flaming red hair in the corner of her eye.

"RON!" Hermione yelled, trying to get his attention, and it worked. He smiled, waved, and went over to her.

"Hey, Hermione," he said, still smiling. "I haven't heard from you in a long time."

"Yeah, busy with work and all. Never have time for the good things," Hermione said, sighing and looking around. "Where's Addy?" Addy was his girlfriend of a month, and, of course, Hermione HATED it.

"Oh, her," Ron said, rubbing his head. "We broke up."

"Oh?" Hermione said, eyeing him suspiciously. "Why is that? I was sure you'd marry each other."

"Never!" Ron said. "I..I want to marry someone else.." He was now starting to turn redder then his hair. Hermione didn't know what she felt. Who was he talking about? Her or some other girl..like Lavender?

"Who's that?" Hermione asked in her calmest voice.

"Well.." Ron started, but he was interrupted by Ginny and Harry running towards them.

"There you are, Ron!" Ginny said, but saw Hermione standing next to him. "HERMIONE! How are you???" she gave her a hug.

"I'm fine, how are you guys?" Hermione asked her, and Ginny looked at Harry.

"Well.." she said. "Last night, Harry asked me to marry him." She couldn't help but smile, and neither could anyone else.

"That's great!" Hermione said, giving Ginny and Harry both hugs.

"Yeah!" Ron agreed, also giving them hugs. Then they all went out to eat as a celebration. It wasn't much, but that was for Mrs. Weasley to take care of.

"Well, thanks for the dinner, you guys," Ginny said, smiling, "but we better go and tell mum. She'll probably keep us there until late.." they said good-bye and she and Harry disapparated, leaving Ron and Hermione alone together.

"So.." Ron said, looking around and back at Hermione. "You want to go for a walk?" By now it was dark, but it was a clear night.

"Sure!" Hermione said, smiling. They paid the bill and left to stroll around the beautiful streets of Diagon Alley. (A/N .yeah.)

"Well," Hermione said, breaking the silence. "what were you going to say before? Well..what?" She was smiling still, and Ron was getting nervous.

"Um.." Ron said. He was hoping she would've forgotten. "Well, I guess..how do I say this? Ok..um..well, willyougooutwime?" The area around the collar of his shirt was burning hot.

"You..you want me to go out with you?" Hermione asked in a whisper. It all came to her as a shock. A pleasant one, though, mind you.

"Yeah, but if..if you don't want to, I'll understand.." Ron said, and before he knew it, Hermione put her arms around his neck and pulled him into a longing kiss. After a few minutes, Hermione slowly pulled away.

"Does that answer your question?" she asked, yet again smiling.

"Sure does," Ron said, smiling as well. This time it was his turn to pull her into a kiss. He put his hand on her cheek and his otheraround her waist. Hermione put her hands around Ron's neck, but before much else could happen, they heard some whistling. They broke apart to see Harry and Ginny laughing behind them. Ginny held out their hand and Harry sighed, while putting a bag of galleons.

"I see you guys are together!" Ginny said, while both she and Harry walked up to them. "Or you better be!" Ron looked at Hermione with his Do- You-Want-To? look. She smiled AGAIN, and so did he.

"We are, don't worry," Ron said.

"When's the wedding?" Harry joked.

"A week," Ron joked back.

"Dude, really?" Harry said stupidly. He thought they weren't kidding. Ginny smacked him loghtly against the head.

"It was a joke!" she said. "Well, we better get going." She winked at Harry.

"Ooh! Yeah, we must, it's getting late and I'm sure getting tired," Harry said, faking a yawn and wrapping an arm around Ginny. Ron's expression was like: . . .

"Uh..Ron?" Hermione said, moving her hand up and down in front of his wide eyes. "Are you ok?" Ron started to speak, but there was a sudden down pour (A/N HINT HINT lol). They all stood there with the expressions, not-a- good-day or ah-damnit look. Ron quickly got his wand out and said, 'accio umbrellas' and in seconds, his umbrellas flew into his hands and he gave one to Harry and opened one up and held it above him and Hermione.

"It's kind of late now, Ron," Hermione said. Ron sighed and nodded. "It's still sweet of you." She kissed him on the cheek, making him smile.

"Is it normal for a sudden down pour before a slight sprinkle?" Harry asked over the rain hitting the ground.

"No, I don't think so," Hermione said.

"We better get going, then," Harry said, and they all said good-bye before disapparating home.

In a few weeks tops, Hermione moved in with Ron. . . . . . .
