Hi everyone! I'm continuing off of "The Proposal" in this story. I'm definitely going to have Ron propose to Hermione at Harry and Ginny's wedding. How do you want him to do it?
~All rights go to J.K. Rowling~
"Hermione!" Ginny called. "Aren't you ready yet?"
Ginny Weasley, just over 18, was preparing to go wedding shopping. She pulled her long red hair into a high ponytail and knocked on the bathroom door again. Her closest friend, Hermione, was taking a little longer than usual to get ready to go out.
"In a minute, Ginny," Hermione replied. ''I don't want to look like a slob."
Ginny giggled under her breath. Hermione only cared about her appearance when she was near Ginny's older brother, Ron. Though they both refused to admit it, they had very strong feelings for each other.
The door opened and Hermione came out. For the first time in her life, she was wearing-
"Makeup?" Ginny gasped. "Hermione, Ron likes you just the way you are naturally. He doesn't want you to-"
"Who ever said this was for Ron?" Hermione said, but she was blushing.
Ginny shook her head and followed Hermione downstairs, where they said goodbye to Mrs. Weasley. They turned on their heels and Apparated into Diagon Alley. A new shop had just opened: Witch Wedding is for You?
"There it is," Hermione pointed. "Are you ready?" She squeezed Ginny's hand.
Ginny nodded.
"Thank you!" Ginny and Hermione called as they left Witch Wedding is for You?. Their trip had been very successful. They purchased a gown, shoes, and a veil. They had arranged to have flowers delivered to the Burrow for decoration and the bridal procession.
"What's next?" Ginny asked.
"Invitations," Hermione supplied.
Ginny became suspicious. "How do you know all of this?"
Hermione grinned. "I've been planning my own wedding for a while now." She laughed. "My fiancee just doesn't know that he's my fiancee yet."
"I just don't know," Ron said. "What if she rejects me?"
Harry sighed. "Ron, I'm going to keep telling you over and over again." He sat down next to his best friend. "She will absolutely say yes. Just do it the way you practiced. She really does like you."
Little did Hermione know, Ron was planning to propose to her on the day of Harry and Ginny's wedding. He had been practicing on old dolls of Ginny's, but he was still nervous. What if she said no? He'd never be able to face her again. Quite a few times, he had decided to back out of it. But then he thought of Hermione, and her pretty dirty blonde curls, and her sweet personality, and he knew that the most he could do was try to receive her acceptance.
There was a familiar pop from downstairs in the living room. "Harry!" Ginny called as she ran up the stairs. "Harry!"
"Ginny!" Harry cried. As they embraced, Hermione watched them and their perfect relationship. Yes, it was mushy, but it was adorable. She wanted something like that. Hermione became aware that she wasn't alone. Her brown eyes fell on Ron, who was watching Harry and Ginny with the same expression Hermione had worn just a minute ago.
Harry and Ginny broke apart. "We got everything done!" Ginny said excitedly. "Hermione helped me with everything. Let me show you the dress!"
As Hermione and Ginny left to get Ginny dressed, Harry turned back to Ron. "It'll be all right," he assured his friend.
