Ron rolled over in the bed and stared into Hermione's sleeping face. He smiled as he watched her eyelids flicker in her sleep, she must be dreaming. Her hand was resting just under her nose and Ron looked down at the ring. It was refined and elegant, just like her. Goblin silver and diamond braided neatly together, Ron was quite proud that he had been able to pick it out on his own, though it had cost just about everything that he had saved after school.
He had gone into Diagon Alley one afternoon after work planning to pick up some floo powder for his mum when he had decided to poke around the shops. During all his time at Hogwarts he had never really been able to explore the whole street, nor had he had any desire to with all the buzz around and people milling about everywhere. He had decided to stop in and visit George for a bit at the shop when he had noticed the small jewelers two doors down. There had been many shops that had sprung up after the war and this appeared to be one of them. He walked in to have a look around when he noticed a display box with the ring. It was a woven band of goblin silver interlaced with small sparkling diamonds. It shone just as Hermione's eyes had when they had first kissed, and he knew it was perfect.
He lay in bed a bit longer and just watched as Hermione slept, not wanting to wake her. Just before her muggle alarm was set to go off he flicked the power switch and gently kissed her cheek. Her eyes fluttered open and locked on his. She smiled and kissed him lightly on the lips, lingering only a moment before she tried to get up out of the bed. Before she could move however, Ron rolled closer and pinned her in an embrace, crushing his lips to hers. Hermione struggled under his weight, wriggling to get free. "Ronald Weasley! You know I have to go to work." She gasped. He looked at her with big puppy dog eyes. "Please don't go. I thought maybe we could stay here in bed all day." He leaned over and kissed her again and she sighed. " Well I suppose I could send an owl and take a day of sick leave, but they won't like it with me already requesting the wedding and honeymoon off."
The wedding was only three months away, and they had planned on traveling to France for the honeymoon. Hermione lit up when she said the word wedding, like she always did. Ever since he had proposed their lives had seemed so much brighter. Neither of them had had any nightmares since. Ron was starting to think that life might just get back to normal.
Hermione stood up and walked to the kitchen, Ron following like a puppy behind her. As she wrote a letter and sent Pig to the Ministry he busied himself in the kitchen making breakfast. Since they had begun living together Ron had found he was actually not bad at cooking and they both knew from their time searching for horcruxes that Hermione wasn't.
Hermione turned from the window that Pig had just flown through as Ron set the plates on the table. Ron had begun to settle into a few muggle habits and had actually learned to cook instead of relying on his wand. The eggs and hash he had prepared were perfectly cooked and smelled heavenly. He stood at the sink rinsing out the pan. "Ron you know that you could just use Scourgify." Ron turned and looked at Hermione puzzled. "What? Oh right, well, I guess it's too late now. Are you finished?" She nodded and he took her plate and began to wash it under the warm stream of water.
"Well, what would you like to do today, now that I've missed work?" Ron turned off the water and walked to the far side of the counter and sat down next to Hermione. He leaned in and kissed her gently, as she leaned in to deepen the kiss he pulled away. "I thought we might stay in." he smirked and grabbed her hand leading her back to the bedroom. "Well I like where this is going Mr. Weasley." He sat on the bed smirking and pulled Hermione's arm and she turned into his lap. She giggled and gave him a peck on the lips. "I love you more than life, you know that don't you?" Ron stared into her eyes and her heart swelled, he needed so much reassurance but she knew she had loved him for almost as long as she could remember.
"Oh Ronald. When will you ever believe me when I tell you that I love you?" She put her hands on each of his cheeks and gave him a loving kiss. "Probably as soon as you say I do" he looked up at her and she smiled and sighed.
