I woke up in a bright room, and I heard ocean waves hitting against rocks in the distance. Stretching my arms, my joints cracked and I sighed with relief. Maybe it was only a dream.
"Hermione, thank Merlin you're awake, we need to plan for the wedding, it is going ot be in a month. Now which cake do you want?" Ginny asked me, holding up two pictures of wonderful looking cakes. I pointed at the second one, not sure if I liked it better, but wanting her to get out of my face.
"Let's go outside, it's a beautiful day." she said, leading me outside into a sea of grass, with a beautiful view of the ocean. We sat down and she was talking, but I was zoning out. I was having a daydream of me and Draco, as I slowly walked up the aisle in my white dress, to him. His awaiting arms held me, and he kissed me on the lips.
"I do." I said.
"Okay so that is one more thing out of the way." she said writing down that it will be an outdoor wedding. Had I said that? Oh well, outdoor weddings were wonderful. With three more hours of planning, we were almost completely finished planning this, and we went back inside.
Ron came and gave me a hug, and I hugged him back. If I had to get married to him, I might as well get used to these kinds of things. Mrs. Weasley made us all sandwiches, and I decided to go swimming.
"Hey, Hermione, I'm coming with you okay?" Ron asked, I nodded with a smile. I was finally beginning to accept that he loved me, and I would need to love him to live a happy life. I dressed in a bikini Ginny had picked out for me, and went outside.
The salty air hit me in the face, and I breathed it in. I love the ocean smell, it made me feel so happy, bringing me back to great times before things were complicated. I dived into the water, soaking my hair and making it lie flat on my head, and resurfaced with water dripping down my face.
Ron landed right next to me, and when his head was above the water, he kissed me. It was soft at first, but then it got a little more demanding. His lips moved against mine in harmony, and his arms were around my waist. The water made it a wet kiss, and I didn't mind it.
He parted from me, and I looked at him for a second.
"Race you back!" I shouted, pushing him under the water and swimming as fast as I could to the sand. When he caught up with me, he looked at me with a smile on his face.
"That...was so...not fair!" he gasped, trying to catch his breath. He tackled me onto the ground and put his nose on mine. We smiled at each other for a few minutes, and then got up to go inside. it was getting dark outside, and I would need to shower.
We walked up the long path, hand in hand, and went inside. I walked to my room, grabbing a dress, and went into the bathroom. Turning the water on high, I undressed and weighed myself. Wow, I lost two pounds since last week, which is not good, because I was already skinny as could be.
Going on the run made you lose so much weight it was terrible, I would have to get some ice cream after my shower. I stepped in the hot water, and let it un-knot my back. I felt so relieved as the hot water did it's work, I felt my pores unclog and the saltwater wash out of my hair.
When I stepped out of the shower, I felt so refreshed, so regenerated. I walked down to the kitchen and grabbed a tub of ice cream and a spoon, and walked to the library. I picked a book up and began reading and scoping ice cream out of the container.
AN: I hope you liked this chapter, and don't worry, Hermione will have hurdles in he future with Ron, and Draco will not let her accept this so easy, well it may be subconcious. :D Thanks for reading!
