Disclaimer: So shockingly, the rights to Harry Potter does not belong to plot is mine, the rest belongs to the lovely J. K. Rowling.
AN: So this is a Remione story, if this is not a ship you are comfortable with, move along.
I could not deal with the deaths of alot of people, so as you will see as the story progress, many characters will be alive and well.
If you have any comments, good or bad please leave a review and let me know.
The rating for this story is put there to be on the safe side, later chapters might contain more mature content that the story does at this point.
This story as you will see describe a grown up Hermione. There is no reationship before Hermione is of age.
But now, without further ado, let's get into the story.
"Come on Hermione I'm dying here, please say something." Ron said, down on one knee, looking pleadingly at Hermione, who were standing stock still with a blank look on her face looking at the ring.
All around them people were looking expectantly on the proposal. The Weasley's all had smiles on their faces, waiting for the positive answer, after all, Hermione and Ron had been together for a long time. Luna was looking at Hermione with a sad face; she kept hoping it wouldn't come to this. Harry had an angry look on his face. Sirius just kept staring after Remus who had quickly lef the room when he saw what was going to happen.
Suddenly it was like reality once again came back to Hermione. She looked around at the people standing there, hoping beyond hope that the one person whos opinion mattered could give her a hint. But she could not find his face, Harry looked mad, and Luna sad, and Sirius just looked out the door.
Finally she turned around looking at Ron, and she could feel her anger rising. Why would he ask her that? she thought, Did he really think she would say yes? Did he ask in front of everyone and thought that would push her towards yes? Once again she felt a surge of anger. She took a deep breath trying to calm herself, and then she looked Ron straight in the eye.
"Ronald. Did you really think that I would say yes to that question? Did you really think that asking me in front of all our friends and your family would be the right thing to do?" she said as calmly as she could. She also noticed that the Weasley's looked shocked at what she was saying, but she was not done, not by far.
"I have told you my heart was never yours. We are not a couple, we have never dated, and that one kiss was a mistake, you turned your head as I was aiming for your cheek. You have continued to ask me out for almost two years now, and I have refused every single time. I have started to stay away from the Burrow, because I wanted space from you. We fight all the time, how on earth could you think we would work as a couple? And before you say so, no Ron, it is not hidden tension. You are rude and you make me cry, I could never wish for that kind of life for myself. So no, as you clearly need me to say it, no I will not marry you. NO!" she finished slightly out of breath.
Ron looked at her with a look of utter shock, he clearly thought she would say yes. She turned, and she could see that Lunas face was still sad, Harrys still mad, but the Weasleys and Sirius all looked at her with their mouths hanging open. She used the opportunity and walked over to the door, she turned around to say something, but changed her mind and left through the door.
That was the last time they saw Hermione, for many years to come.
AN: This first chapter is a bit short, but as we get into the story, the chapters will be longer. I will try to keep an updating schedule of roughly a chapter a week. the second chapter will be up in a few days. As of now, this story is un-betaed, so if anyone is interested in Betaing, please let me know in a PM.
