fate ch 4

Hermione Granger was speechless.

" I must be halucinating, did you just ask me to marry you Draco?" she asked still very much surprised.

Draco pulled himself up from his kneeling position and sat on the edge of Hermiones bed. He set the small box down and took Hermione's soft petite hands into his large, coarse ones.

"Hermione, if its one thing I'm sure of, Its the fact that I love you and I want to be your husband. I bought this ring 6 months ago and I wanted to wait for the perfect time to propose to you. I was going to ask you on your 18th birthday. I had it all planned out. I was planning on taking you to Italy for a weekend and have your parents flown over and meet us at the Coliseum to have a candlelight dinner, dancing and then at midnight I was going to ask you to be my wife" he said looking into her watery brown eyes.

"You asked my parents to be there?" she asked as a tear fell down her cheek.

"Yes, I did." he replied softly as he wiped the lone tear from her cheek.

"Oh, Draco, thats the sweetest thing anyone has ever done for me" she said as more tears fell from her eyes.

Draco, once again fell to one knee on the floor, took the ring box back into his free hand, while the other hand was still clasped in Hermione's.

"Hermione Jean Granger, will you do me the honor of becoming my wife?" he asked, this time with tears forming in his beautiful eyes.

"Of couse I would. I would love nothing more to be your wife" Hermione said smiling and her eyes shining through her tears.

Draco removed the 1 carat princess cut solitaire from the velvet box and slid it on Hermione's ring finger. The ring adjusted it self perfectly to fit Hermione's finger.

He got up off the floor and sat back on the bed, leaning towards Hermione.

Their lips met and a feeling of warmth over came the two.

Hermione wrapped her arms around Draco's shoulders and deepened the soft, but intense kiss, while his arms slithered around her waist.

Draco moved his body closer to Hermione's, slightly picking her up and placing her on his lap. Hermione sighed in the kiss at how close their bodies were.

Hermione suddenly felt Draco's arousal against her leg and started to giggle.

Draco pulled away from the kiss, oblivious to the reason of Hermione's sudden outburst.

"What's so funny?" he asked in a raspy voice.

Hermine blushed and motioned her eyes toward Draco's pants.

Draco followed her eyes and a pink tinge formed on his cheeks.

Hermione leaned over to whisper in Draco's ear.

"Down boy" she said seductivly as her lips tickled his outer ear.

Draco attempted to adjust himself, but he was too turned on and Hermione was only making his arousal worse.

Slowly he layed Hermione and himself down on the bed , his arms now caressing her sides.

"You know, Mione, I've always wondered what it would be like to make love in the hospital" he said as he left butterfly kisses along Hermione's jaw.

Hermione shivered at his words as her eyes closed and she reveled in Dracos touch.

"Well I guess you two love birds won't be finding out anytime soon" a voice said from the doorway.

Hermione and Draco adjusted themselves, both of them blushing for being caught in an awkward positon.

There stood Healer Jones, with a smirk on her face.

"Mr. Malfoy, visiting hours are ending and its time for you to leave. I would offer you a cot to stay, but I don't fancy the idea of any of my patients shagging their boyfriends when they should be recovering."

"I thought I was going to be discharged?" questioned a slightly upset Hermione.

"I would like to keep you one more night for observation. But I assure you you will be discharged tomorow afternoon." she replied.

"I'll give you two a minute to say your goodbyes" she said ashe she stepped outside the room.

"So I guess we can't get married tonight after all" said a saddend Hermione.

Draco sat down next to Hermione.

"How about this. Its Wednesday. I'll floo your parents, tell them your ok and will be coming home tommorw. I'll have our bags packed by tommorow night and Friday morning, the four of us leave for Italy so your parents can witness our vows. Unless you want to plan your dream wedding and invite all your friends and family." he expalined

"No, I like your idea better. When we get back we can plan a small reception to celebrate with our friends and family." she said as she rested her head on Dracos shoulder.

"Ok, Love. I'll be back in the morning to pick you." he said and the kissed her soundly on her lips before grabbing his cloak and exiting her room.

After a few minutes, Hermione rang the buzzer to the front desk.

Within seconds, Luna came in.

"Hey Hermione, what can I do for you?" she asked smiling.

"Would it be possible for me to go see Harry?" she asked hopefully.

Luna's smile faded.

"Mione, I don't think its a good idea to go see him. You may get very upset. Its not a pretty picture." the young witch said as tears formed in her eyes.

"Please, Luna. He's my best friend. I didn't even get to say goodbye to Ron."she said looking down.

Luna reached for the heart pendant around her neck. It was a locket with a picture of herself and Ron from the last Valentines day ball.

The night Draco and Hermione concieved their three week old embryo.

The night Ron became the first victim of Voldemort. The night the war started.

The war lasted about three weeks. But the light side prevailed but not without consequences.

Ron Weasley, Severus Snape, Remus and Tonks Lupin, Alastor Moody, and hundreds of other students who fought, had died during the course of the war.

"Ok Mione." whispered Luna.
