Chapter Four: For the Sake of Proposals
Draco walked to Hermione and knelt before her, but lowering only one knee. He slipped his ring off his finger and took Hermione's hand, then slipped it on her finger.
"I won't ask you to marry me, because I know what I'll be getting." Said Draco. "Instead, I'm giving you that ring as a proof that I am not abandoning you and our child. That is the Malfoy heir ring, only handled by the male firstborns of the Malfoy bloodline."
"But why are you giving this to me?" asked Hermione, somewhat strongly but touched all the same.
"Because you are carrying the Malfoy heir. My son, my heir." Replied Draco.
"Your son? How do you even know it's male? It's too early to know."said Hermione.
"We use something called magic, Hermione." Said Ginny.
"Oh, right." Replied Hermione sardonically.
"Come on, we've got to go down before anyone realizes that we're gone." Said Ginny and led them back to the party.
There, Ron suddenly took Hermione's hand and led her in front of the crowd. She looked back at Ginny but the redhead shook her head.
"Uh, may I have your attention? Please?" said Ron. The crowd faced them expectantly.
Ron knelt down using one knee, then took out a small velvet box. He opened it to reveal a gold ring with a diamond stud surrounded by rubies.
"Will you marry me?" said Ron, then took Hermione's hand. A flash of light came from somewhere on her right. Someone was taking their picture.
He looked at her finger, about to slip the ring in, when he saw Malfoy's ring on Hermione's finger. The ring fell from Ron's hand, and the crowd gasped collectively.
"Ron, I-" started Hermione, but Ron stood up and headed towards the house. Hermione looked at Malfoy's ring, and the crowd whispered amongst themselves.
Hermione followed Ron with her gaze and stood there awkwardly. The crowd at her expectantly.
"I—I'm sorry." Said Hermione, then followed Ron into the house.
