Me: Hello. No friends here to help me now. I did this all on my own.
Mercy4.8: HEY!
Me: Well, it's true!
Mercy4.8: True…
Me: Anyway, this is the second chapter to Sparks Fly (obviously). Draco takes a huge step. If it says it's in a certain person's POV, then it is theirs until it is stated that it is someone else's. Thanks for reading. Oh, and I don't own anything!
Thank you to my reviewers, Pearls In Heaven and marie 14.
To My Anonymous Reviewer, marie 14:

Also, thanks to twilight charmer for adding this story to their Favorite Stories list.
Draco's POV
Today was the day! I finally was going to ask Hermione Granger to marry me. We have been going steady for a year and a half now, and I figured we were both ready to take the next step. Marriage. Don't get me wrong, I am a nervous wreck, but I was going to do this, I wasn't going to be scared. Okay…maybe a little. But don't tell anyone! It would ruin my reputation! ::goes crazy::
Sorry about that. I still am thinking about how exactly to propose to her…WAIT! I've got it! Mumblemumblemumble…she's always wanted a puppy.
Hermione's POV
Draco is coming over for dinner tonight. Just the two of us. I'm nervous. I don't know why, though. Something tells me that something amazing will happen tonight…I just don't know what, and it's bugging the heck out of me!
Well, it's now 6:00pm, and Draco is coming at 6:30. Wee decided to have a picnic outside of my mansion. Since I am now a Healer, I make enough money to afford it. Plus, I am using my inheritance that I got when I turned 21 last year. As I get dressed I think about nothing in particular. Just Draco and me, and the amazing time we have had together this past year and a half…
At 6:30 sharp, there was a knock at my front door. I ran as fast as possible to go get it. It was, of course, my lovely Draco. I opened the door, and was met with a breath-taking sight. Draco was dressed in a black suit without a tie. The top was open and he was wearing a white shirt under it.
"You look nice." I said.
"Yes, I do. But," he added, silencing my about-to-speak mouth, "nowhere near as beautiful as you do." I smiled. He always knew how to make me feel pretty. I was wearing an empire dress, obviously with an empire waist. The top part looked like a wrap-around-type-thing and was a nice green color. The bottom part had green, brown, and bits of blue stripes that were curved. The brown in it perfectly matched my eyes.
I grabbed the picnic basket and we started walking hand in hand towards a small secluded garden in a clearing in the forest on the grounds. You could see the sky perfectly.
When we got there, Draco set out a blanket, and put a charm on the garden so bugs wouldn't get to us when it got late. We ate the meal that I had prepared (Shredded slow-cooked Roast Pork with rolls, cheeses, vegetables, tortilla chips, dip and my not-so-famous Pasta Salad.) We both ate slowly, savoring everything. Draco would complement me on the food, my hair, my eyes. I don't know if it's just me, but he looks as though he's nervous about something. Oh well, I'm sure it's nothing, besides, we tell each other everything. He'll tell me sooner or later…I hope.
Draco's POV
Ok, I think it's time. Hermione has been looking at me funny for the past ten minutes. I think she knows something is bothering me. Dang, I have never been able to hide anything from her. Well, here goes nothing.
"Her – Hermione. I have something for you.
Hermione's POV
See? I knew he would tell me sometime.
"You got me a present? You shouldn't have! It's not even a special occasion."
"Well, this present can't wait, and when I saw it, I knew I just had to get it for you. I will be right back. Don't move, love." He stood up, kissed me on the cheek, and then walked towards the side of the house. He picked up a box wrapped in red and silver and brought it back to me.
"Okay, Mione. Open it." I did, and I squealed like a little girl.
"Oh my gosh! A puppy! Thank you! And it's even a dachshund!" She was a red/brown short haired 6 month old dachshund. She was exactly what I wanted. "What's her name?"
"Why don't you check the collar?"
"Oh that makes sense." As I looked at the collar, I found that instead of a nametag, there was a ring. A beautiful ring. It had a large diamond with two emeralds beside it. Next to the emeralds were two diamonds, continuing like that around the ring. I didn't know what to say.
"Draco. What is this for?" I ask.
"Look up at the stars." He said. I did, but there was nothing there.
"Draco, I don't – oh!" I said as Draco waved his wand. In the sky, the stars rearranged themselves to spell out, right over our clearing, "Hermione Granger, will you marry me?" I was stunned. This had to be the most amazing proposal ever. With a small smile on my lips, I leaned over to Draco and kissed him.
"So," said Draco, when we broke apart, "is that a yes or a no?" With a laugh, I took out my wand and waved it.
"Look up." I said. He did and a big goofy grin spread across his face. Underneath his proposal were the words, "Of course I will, Draco Malfoy." He turned his grin to me and kissed me full on the mouth. He broke away quickly, though. He reached for the dog, momentarily forgotten, and slipped the ring off of her collar.
"This is for you. Oh, and you need to name the dog." He said. I just laughed. I took the ring and slid it on my ring finger. (Where else would I put it?) Then I picked up my dog and took Draco by the hand, and we walked back to the house to start planning the wedding.
"Ok, so what are you naming her?" Draco asked when we got back inside, nodding at the dog.
"I don't know, why don't we let her choose?"
"Ok." He replied, both of us sitting down in a chair.
"Bestia sermo!" I said.
"Hi there." Said the dog, jumping on my lap. "My name is Greta. I have just met you, and I love you. You said that spell. You must be a good and smart master because you said that spell, so that I may talk – SQUIRREL!" Greta was quiet for a moment, looking in the direction of the forest, then looked back to me, "Hi there."
"Okay then?" said Draco. "Well, we know she loves you, squirrels and that her name is Greta."
"Yeah…Fama haud! Now she can't talk."
"Good, that was getting annoying!"
"Tell me about it…sooooooo…" I said, getting rid of the silence. "I wonder what Harry and Ron will say, I mean, they've probably seen the stars by now…"
"So?" Replied Draco. "Who cares? Nothing matters, as long as you are with me."
"I know. Hey, I have one question…" I said.
"Sure, what?" said Draco.
"When is the wedding going to be?" I asked.
"I'm not sure, let's say, 6 months?" It was more of a question that an answer.
"Perfect." I replied. With that, I picked Greta up, walked over to Draco's chair, and leaned in to kiss him. When his eyes were closed, I held Greta out in front of me, and that's who Draco kissed. Greta sure wasn't afraid to use tongue.
Unfortunately, (or fortunately, depending on how you look at it) I had to get punished that night.
I can't wait for the wedding!

A/N. Okay, I finished, but with the way I finished it, it seems like I could go in with the wedding. The only problem is that I'm not good with detail, but I could try…just let me know what you think. Thanks for reading, please review! :)
