I could feel my palms getting sweaty as I paced back and forth in my best friends front room. God I'm so nervous. I've never been this nervous about anything before.
"Calm down mate, your going to be fine. Besides at this rate your not going to do my carpet any good." I looked up at Harry to see him trying to contain his laughter. My eyes narrowed in response.
"Yeah well just you wait till it's your turn then we'll see who's laughing." Harry just stared at me trying to work out if I was serious or not. In the end he decided that I was and dropped himself on to the couch with a sigh.
"Just sit down for a moment and calm down, it won't be that bad." He pushed his glasses back up his nose as he looked at me. "So your worried that she'll say no, right?"
"Well, yeah. What do I do if I propose to her and she says no. I'll look like a moron." I could feel myself getting more and more wound up. What if she says no, what do I do if she does say no? I'm so confused. Hmm maybe I shouldn't ask her, yep I won't ask her and then I won't have to ask myself these stupid questions.
Then it happened. A high pitched squeal that could burst the ear drums of a mandrake. I spun around to find that it was Ginny who was the source of the god forsaken noise. She was stood behind the sofa (god knows when she came in the room, because I sure didn't hear her come in) she was wearing baby pink pyjamas and her hair was in a rough ponytail. I could just imagine pink bunny slipper on her feet, it would finish the look quiet nicely. Haha.
"Gin, can you please not do that again. Ever." Harry said turning around to look at his girlfriend.
"Sorry." She said a little sheepishly. She lent down and pecked Harry on the lips before turning back to me. "Your going to ask Hermione to marry you?"
oOo
"Where are we going?" Hermione giggled as I guided her to where she would be sat.
"Right, okay. You can take off the blindfold nnnnnow." I said while stepping back from her.
She carefully took the blindfold off making sure it didn't catch on her hair. She was wearing a green sundress that fell just below her knees and matching green ballet flats. Her hair fell perfectly down her back in those tidy but chaotic waves of hers. She was simply amazing. She did however, put up a little bit of a fight with me when I gave her the dress and shoes to wear.
*Flashback*
"Draco, that's a summer dress. I'll freeze!"
"No you won't you'll be fine."
"There's almost two feet of snow out there and you expect me to go out there wearing a summer dress and no jacket!"
"Yes"
"Can I at least have my boots?"
"Nope"
"What? What are these? Are you trying to freeze me to death?" Hermione stared down at the shoes I had just gave her. "Why are you giving me these to wear anyway?"
"Shh, can't tell you." I grinned at her. "Now put them on so we can go."
Hermione sighed and went up to our bedroom to get changed. When she came back down I took her hand and led her to the door.
"Where are we going?"
"Can't tell you" I repeated. "Oh, I almost forgot." I dug my hand in my jacket pocket searching for her blindfold. Hermione looked at the blindfold suspiciously before turning her gaze onto me.
"What's that for?"
"It's so you don't know where we are going until you get there."
She pursed her lips and glared at the blindfold before sighing and letting me put in on for her.
*End of Flashback*
It's all a part of my plan you see.
When Hermione looked around I heard a small gasp slip through her lips as she realised where we were. We were on a hill over looking the lake that was near our home. We came here a lot in the summer. Well when I say 'we' I mean Hermione dragged me out here a lot in the summer to have picnics or go for a walk etc. She had said to me once that she would love to have a picnic in the snow but obviously it wouldn't be very convenient considering how cold it would be.
I had charmed the area where we would usually sit in the summer so it would stay warm and charmed the snow so it would not melt. I had laid a blanket on the floor under the tree we always sat at and had made up a picnic hamper that was sat on the edge of the blanket. Well actually I had asked mothers house elf to make a hamper up because I'm really not good with food, and Hermione won't let us have our own house elf. We were actually also pretty lucky that it was a clear night because all the stars were out so the view did look pretty good from up here. My guitar was propped up against the tree but I'm not sure that Hermione has seen it.
"It's wonderful" Hermione whispered to me, a smile forming on her lips. I couldn't help but smile back.
"Excellent, I was going for that response." I laughed. "You hungry?"
"Yes, what food did you bring?"
"Er, have a look." Because I have absolutely no idea. Maybe I should have checked what was in there before going to get Hermione. Well it's too late now.
"Mmm cheesecake, that's a little fancy for a picnic don't you think? So what's the occasion?" Hermione looked up at me from where she sat with the hamper.
"What makes you think that there's an occasion?" I asked smiling as I sat next to her.
"Hmm, well I'm no Sherlock but all the secretive behaviour makes me think that it's an occasion."
"Erm well it is, I guess." Huh was I really that obvious? "Wait who's Sherlock?"
"Oh never mind I'll tell you another time. So what is the occasion?"
"Right, okay well I was going to wait until after we ate something but you already caught me out."
"Oh I'm sorry, we could still eat first if you want?" Hermione asked worriedly. I couldn't help but laugh. I lent forward and gave her a quick kiss.
"I love you 'Mione."
"I love you too."
"Well that's good because I've wrote a new song that I want you to hear."
"Really? That's why were on a romantic picnic, because you've wrote a new song." Hmm she's not looking too impressed by that news. Shit, what do I do? Right, okay, she already knows the song exists so I can't really back out now. Crap. Draco man up and just do it. . . . . NOW, she's staring at you like your a moron. "Er, Draco? Are you okay?" I heard Hermione speak up.
"Yeah fine, so yeah erm this picnic isn't for the song. Both the song and the picnic are for you. So yeah you ready?"
"Yes." She said quietly as I positioned myself more comfortably to play my guitar.
"Okay this is for you okay?" She smiled and nodded at me to signal for me to start playing. "Okay then."
It's a beautiful night
We're looking for something dumb to do
Hey baby
I think I wanna marry you
I looked up at her to see her eyes widen a little with shock. Hmm cute.
Is it the look in your eyes
Or is it this dancing juice?
Who cares, baby
I think I wanna marry you
Well, I know this little chapel
On the boulevard we can go
No one will know
Oh, come on girl
Who cares if we're trashed
Got a pocket full of cash we can blow
Shots of patron
And it's on, girl
Don't say no, no, no, no, no
Just say yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
And we'll go, go, go, go, go
If you're ready, like I'm ready
I saw the smile that spread across her beautiful face as she listened to me sing to her.
'Cause it's a beautiful night
We're looking for something dumb to do
Hey baby
I think I wanna marry you
Is it the look in your eyes
Or is it this dancing juice?
Who cares, baby
I think I wanna marry you
I'll go get a ring
Let the choir bells sing like
Ooh, so what ya wanna do?
Let's just run, girl
If we wake up and you
Wanna break up, that's cool
No, I won't blame you
It was fun, girl
Don't say no, no, no, no, no
Just say yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
And we'll go, go, go, go, go
If you're ready, like I'm ready
'Cause it's a beautiful night
We're looking for something dumb to do
Hey baby
I think I wanna marry you
Is it the look in your eyes
Or is it this dancing juice?
Who cares, baby
I think I wanna marry you
Just say I do
Tell me right now, baby
Tell me right now, baby, baby
She was smiling broadly now and even had some teas in her eyes. I never thought Hermione would get tearful when I proposed to her.
Just say I do
Tell me right now, baby
Tell me right now, baby, baby, oh
It's a beautiful night
We're looking for something dumb to do
Hey baby
I think I wanna marry you
Is it the look in your eyes
Or is it this dancing juice
Who cares, baby
I think I wanna marry you
I had barley put my guitar down before I rolled over backwards from Hermione crushing me with a hug. I laughed at her and pulled away. She looked at me with a brilliant smile lighting up her face and tears sparkling in her eyes.
"Hermione, will you marry me?"
She nodded a few times before she choked out "Yes" I couldn't contain my smile any longer, I tangled my hand in her hair and pulled her towards me. I gave her probably one of the most passionate kisses I had ever given her in the eighteen months we'd been together, or that time we played truth or dare after a meeting to lighten up the mood a little in the war.
"I love you" I whispered as I pulled out the ring to show her.
"It's beautiful Draco, thank you. I love you too." I slid the ring on to her waiting finger and kissed it. I quickly went back to kissing my fiancé and soon the food was completely forgotten.
