Chapter Four
For over two hours Hermione got the majority of her book done with notes in a notebook for her residence and her training. She heard the door open and close. "Ron?" Hermone called. Please be Ron. She turned to the door it wasn't Ron.
"Hey, how is the studying going?" said the raven-haired man in the doorway. "Good, but I need to stop to get ready for Ronald," she said getting off of her couch and walked towards him.
"How was your trip?" she asked. "Good, it was nice to get out for a while before Gin gets here."
"What are you guys going to do today anyway?" she asked. "Oh nothing really just hang out here for a while," he said. I wonder why she wants to know anyway. She will be with Ron. Harry thought. Oh great now I am sounding like I am jealous. Merlin why she makes it worse when she is so beautiful... His thoughts were interrupted but Hermione walking past him to walk upstairs to her room. "I better get ready."
Hermione walked into her bedroom to get ready for the date. She walked over to the bathroom to throw her clothes into the hamper and grabbed her navy blue wrap dress. She pulled her hair up into a part bun so her curls would cascade down her back. She then put very little makeup on and heard Ron apperate to the living room.
"Hermione, I'm home," called Ron. "Ok I will be right down."
Hermione came down the stairs to Ron "You look fantastic Hermione," he commented as he kissed her cheek. She turned to see Harry with his eyes wide and mouth slightly opened. "wow," he quietly said. I can't say too much, but she looks better than fantastic.
"Hermione you look great," said Ginny putting her arms around Harry's waist. "Oh hi Gin," Hermione said looking at the redhead wrapped around Harry. I love Gin but why I am wanting her to be more discreet with Harry. I need this date alone with Ron.
"Hey I hope you don't mind but I invited Harry and Gin to go with us," said Ron. Oh great I needed to just be with Ron. "Yeah, great that would be fun." she said faking a smile on her face.
"Hermione can I borrow something else to wear I left most of my clothes at home," asked Ginny. "Yeah sure, come on," she said turning around going upstairs to her room.
When the girls were gone from the room Ron turned to Harry and told him "Hey come here I have to show you something." Merlin I hope it isn't what I think it is. It was. Ron pulled out a small box with a small ring inside. "You serious," said Harry looking at his best mate. "Yeah, I have been thinking about it for a while and I was going to ask her tonight."
Harry felt his heart drop. Why should I be worried about this I mean I am with Gin and I want Hermione to be happy. "Then why are Gin and I going too. It should be the two of you?" asked Harry not wanting to see this.
"No, I think it would be great if you two share it with us," said Ron. Harry sighed deeply, "I still don't think we should but fine if it means so much to you."
"Thanks mate," said Ron putting the ring back in his pocket. After another 10 minutes Hermione and Ginny came into the kitchen ready to go.
"Ready?" Hermione said as she wrapped her arms around Ron and kissed him.
"I missed you today," commented Ron. "Did you have a good day?"
"Aww I missed you too Ron and yes I did thanks," she answered. She felt like she was being watched by the other couple. When she tried to glance at Harry and Ginny and saw Ginny hugging Harry and Harry's eyes on her and Ron. She turned to give Ron another kiss to considerate more on Ron. It will be a good thing when Harry moves out.
"Ok Great let's get going to the restaurant." Ron said.
They all disapperated to an Italian restaurant they normally went to Piccola Italia. Hermione loved this restaurant it was a small restaurant that was not overly crowded, which she knew the others loved. We only really go here for special occasions. I wonder what Ron is planning. If it is what I think it is then why is Harry and Gin here with us.
Ginny turned to Harry and whispered "What is Ron up to?" Harry just shrugged not wanting to say it out loud. "Babe are you okay?" she said noticing his struggle with his thoughts. "Yeah of course why wouldn't I be?" he leaned over and kissed her on the head.
The all took a seat at a small table Harry sat between Ginny and Ron. Harry glanced at Hermione across the table. She looked nervous about the date. Is it because she doesn't want us around and just be with Ron. I bet she knows what is going on.
They ordered their food and chatted about what they all have been up too.
"Gin how was practice today?" Harry asked. "Oh you know it was brutal, the Katie is a tough captain she never settles with anything. She has been changing things all the time. I mean I know she is worried about the upcoming match."
"Hey Hermione, how is the studying and residency going?" asked Ginny. "It's great I have an exam on different potions for the field. My residency is fantastic I am doing pediatric along with Auror. I love both I just don't know which one to pick. I do love working with the kids, but with auror field I feel like I am helping more. Oh I don't know. I still have a little time to decide." she said. "The healers that are training us are saying that I am ahead and I should be able to get into the field in a few months."
"Wow that's great I don't expect less from the brightest witch of our age," praised Ginny. "That's my girl," Ron beamed as he kissed her. Harry sat in silence looking at the couple. He took Ginny's hands in his. The food arrived and for the majority of the time the couples were silent.
"Harry do you have news or anything different." said Hermione looking at her best friend eating spaghetti. Harry sighed not really wanting to get into the subject but knew if Ginny or Ron heard this then they wouldn't let it go.
"I am going to start moving out of the flat and into Grimmauld's Place. I want to remodel." said Harry.
"Why move out though mate," Ron asked.
"I want my own place that Teddy can come over and stay for more than a couple of hours." He turned towards his girlfriend. "I was also wondering if you wanted to maybe move in with me after I get the house going."
"Um yes that would be fantastic." Ginny squealed in delight and kissed him passionately. I need to start somewhere and I do love Gin. I need to forget Hermione, besides she is getting engaged to Ron.
"I'm so happy for you guys, that's great," Hermione said happy for them. "We're going to miss you mate," said Ron patting his best friends back.
"How's Teddy doing?" Ron asked.
"He is great, I had him today and he caused a lot of chaos at the park today. Accidentally made a small sand tornado in the sandbox. He also thought making a mess of himself in a mud puddle was funny. I had to take him home and give him a bath before Dora came over." Harry informed the group. "I was maybe going to go tomorrow after work and get him some toys for Grimmauld place."
After they ate the deserts came out. Ron nudged Harry in the arm to look at Hermione. "So what movie do you guys want to go see?"
"I don't know I think we might head home after here and watch a movie there." Ginny said. "Would you guys want to do that instead?"
"That sounds great Gin," commented Ron still looking at Hermione and her cheesecake.
Harry and Ron continued to look at Hermione. "Wow this is really good does anyone what a bit."
"No go ahead love," encouraged Ron.
Harry lend into Ginny to kiss her red hair. She looked over at him and smiled as she took a bit of her own cake. Harry looked back over at Hermione as they locked eyes for a split second. Hermione was the first to look away back at Ron then her dessert.
Harry looked at her face which changed as she cut into her cheesecake. "What is this, I think they did something wrong with my cheesecake," said Hermione. She swept through and found a ring. "What is going on?" She turned and found Ron on his knees. "Are you kidding me?" she asked.
"Hermione, I love you so much. Will you marry me?" said Ron.
I can't watch, but if I leave it would look bad. Thought Harry.
Hermione was speechless, she looked over at Harry and Ginny. Harry's face was emotionless, while Ginny had her hand over her mouth with light in her eyes. I don't know what to do. "Yes, yes Ron I will marry you."
Ron put the ring on her finger and stood up and pulled her to him. They shared a kiss and hug. While Ginny got up and hugged both Ron and Hermione when they pulled apart. Harry also stood up and hugged Ron first. "Congrats mate," then turned to Hermione and pulled her to a hug. "I'm happy for you Mione."
