He knew that's where he would find her. That's where she always was.

However tonight he had other plans. He had tried and failed too many times but tonight, in the library, he was going to let know her how much he loved her. Love, that stopped him for a moment, the word still felt strange in his mind, but he shrugged it off and moved forward.

"Hermione?"

"Not right now, Fred," she said, still angry with him.

Fred pulled out that box he had been carrying for weeks. "Will you marry me?"

Her eyes lit up, she had been waiting for so long, and she had almost given up. If Fred had manned up and quit carrying it around in his pocket ages ago he wouldn't have risked losing her.

"Bookworm and all?"

"Bookworm and all," he replied firmly before kissing her softly.
