For the first time in her life, she was late for class. Hermione ran around her dormitory, trying to find her Ancient Runes book. She had placed it on her desk last night, but it was no longer there. She searched trough her bedside table and under her bed.
"This is hopeless," she muttered. She had already missed breakfast and everyone was already on their way to the first lesson of the day.
She frantically searched through her trunk. She was tossing stuff over her shoulder when she picked up a small wooden box. She was about to throw it too, until she realized how heavy it was. Furthermore, she realized that she didn't know how it had gotten in her trunk, because she couldn't remember anyone ever giving it to her. Maybe if she just thought a while……….
Of course. How could she have forgotten? Ron had given it to her as a Christmas present the year before, but she was so mad at him, she had just thrown it in her trunk.
Curiosity got the better side of her and she opened the small box. She gasped when she saw what was inside. A small golden charm bracelet shimmered in the morning light. She gently picked it up to examine each charm.
First was a small red ruby, then a small mirror. Third was a little black dog, followed by a tiny cup. Then came a miniature broom and a small silver slug. Last was a petite golden heart.
Hermione smiled as a tear rolled down her cheek.
Count the days the hourglass
Days go and all I do is think of you
And wonder where you are at night
I remember everything
Every smile even all the reasons why
You say I pushed you out of my mind
Baby you set me
Baby you set me
Set adrift on memory bliss of you
Baby you set me
Set adrift on memory bliss
Ron sat in the dank cold potions classroom, listening to Professor Slughorn ramble about love potions. He guessed he would have to borrow Hermione's notes later. His eyes wandered around the dungeon, but he couldn't seem to find her.
He leaned over and whispered, "Have you seen Hermione?"
Harry was about to respond when Slughorn interrupted them.
"Boys, you really should be listening, this is a very important-Miss Granger! So glad you could join us," Slughorn said, looking to the back of the room. Ron turned his head around so fast he cricked his neck. There standing in the door way was Hermione, her face red.
"Sorry, Professor, I was running late this morning," Hermione said hurriedly.
"No matter, just take your seat." Hermione walked down the isle towards her seat. When she passed Ron, he could here a soft jingling noise. He caught sight of her charm bracelet and smiled. Harry looked at him quizzically, but just shook his head and went back to doodling on his parchment.
"Hey, Hermione, can I talk to you for a second?" Ron said running down the halls. She looked back and smiled, making him weak in the knees. He caught up to her, and they walked down the halls together.
"Um, I noticed you were wearing the bracelet I got you last year," Ron said, his cheeks faintly pink.
"Oh, um, yes. Thank you. Its one of the nicest things anyone has ever gotten me," Hermione said, standing on tiptoe and kissing him on the cheek, the corners of their mouth touching. Ron stood their, stunned, as students passed him, until he heard a voice calling his name. "Ron, are you coming?"
He looked up to see Hermione standing at the end of the hall. He smiled and ran to catch up with her.
Destiny is everything
Reality's replaced you with
The biggest emptiness
You've ever had in life
Bet you say that I don't care
Bet you say that I don't even think of you
But god knows how wrong you are
Baby will you be there
Baby will you be there
Just give me time
To fix my life
Baby will you be there
When I open my eyes
After all the time I've spent
Wishing you
"Okay Hermione, you can open your eyes," Ron said. Hermione looked to see the Gryffindor common room, cast in an orange light from the fire. A small table set for two was in the middle of the room, a white candle perched romantically on top of it. Hermione was astonished. "Oh, Ron, its beautiful!"
"Well, this is a beautiful occasion," Ron said, kneeling down and puling a velvet box out of his cloak. Hermione's eyes welled with tears. "Hermione Granger, I love you. Will you marry me?"
He opened the box to reveal a small charm in the shape of a diamond ring. Tears fell down her cheeks, and she nodded her head. "Yes!"
He held her hand, clipping the charm onto her bracelet. He stood up, tears now in both of their eyes, and pulled her in for a kiss.
Baby you set me
Baby you set me
Set adrift on memory bliss of you
Baby you set me
Set adrift on memory bliss
Sadness has overwhelmed me
But my thoughts carelessly
Imagine that you're happy
With your life right now
I guess that's just the way life goes
Forever's gone so now I must
Place you with all the things
That I could never have
Baby you set me
Baby you set me
Set adrift on memory bliss of you
Baby you set me
Set adrift on memory bliss
