~This chapter is dedicated to the amazing sherychery7, who fixed my writer's block for this story, and is my number one fan :)~

Lavender stormed up to her, pulling out her wand as she went. She held her wand up under Hermione's chin.

"Why did you have to ruin my plan?" she asked quietly, pressing her wand into Hermione's skin.

"What plan?" Hermione asked.

"The one that took MONTHS and MONTHS to MAKE!" she said, starting to punch Hermione from anger. "I had to think of how to make everything PERFECT. It was brilliant. I told Seamus and a few others that you were cheating on Ron with some other guy, because I knew they would tell him. I knew you two would get in a huge fight and break up, then I started talking to Ron to make him fall for ME instead. That didn't work, because he was still moping around about YOU. Then I made a FAKE invitation to a wedding for you and Krum, then showed it to Ron. After a week, he finally went out with me."

The Weasleys and Hermione just stared at her. Lavender turned and looked at Ron, who looked enraged, redder than his hair.

"Because that's how much I love you, Won-Won." she said, putting her hands up against the invisible wall barrier.

"Silencio!" Ginny said, pointing her wand at Ron before he could start talking.

Ron's mouth started moving frantically, and he was trying to yell. Hermione could make out some foul words. Lavender backed away from him, offended.

Lavender walked back over to Hermione, glaring at her. "THAT plan. And you completely RUINED IT." she screamed, then smacked Hermione across the face.

"LEAVE HER ALONE!" Ron said, pounding his fists against the barrier. Obviously Ginny had taken the charm off of him.

"Not unless you admit you love me with all your heart and promise to marry me for life. And I'll get out some Veritaserum just to make sure you're being honest." she said.

Ron glared at her. "I will never love you, Lavender."

She looked enraged, and as though she was going mad. She pointed her wand at Hermione. "Crucio!" she yelled.

Hermione screamed, and it was just as bad as it was at Malfoy Manor.

"NO! STOP!" Ron screamed, feeling just as helpless as he did in the cellar.

"Not until you admit you love me and say you'll marry me! CRUCIO!"

Another agonizing scream. Ron realized he was almost crying, and he reached his hand up to touch the barrier.

Only it wasn't there. He realized the charm had worn off, and immediately got up. He ran over to them, shoved Lavender to the ground, and kneeled down beside Hermione, lifting her up into his arms.

"Hermione, are you alright?" he whispered.

She shook her head, but it was barely noticeable.

He saw a shadow looming over his body. He turned around to see an enraged Lavender standing over him. Ron stood up, still holding Hermione in his arms.

"Lavender, we're through. Leave my house right now."

She glared at him. "You filthy blood traitor! Have fun with your stupid mudblood friend and traitor family!" she screamed, storming out of the house and disapparating.

Everyone was silent for a long time. Ron broke the silence by loudly going into the living room. He gently set Hermione down on the couch, then sat down himself. He took her hand, and used his other hand to stroke her hair.

After awhile, Hermione's eyes fluttered open.

"Hey," Ron said quietly, leaning a little closer to her. "How are you feeling?"

"Alright, I guess... Where's Lavender?"

"Gone. I told her to leave."

"But Ron-"

"It's fine, Hermione."

"What about the wedding?"

"I don't know..."

"This is all my fault."

"No it's not."

"Yes, it is. If I hadn't come, you and Lavender would be happily getting married tomorrow."

"Hermione, I don't want to marry Lavender. I want to marry you."

She stared at him. "Wait... what?"

"I love you, Hermione. Not Lavender."

"Then why-?"

"Because Lavender lied to me, remember? She told me you were getting married. To Viktor. I didn't know what to do, so I proposed to Lavender so I wouldn't end up alone."

She kept staring at him, speechless.

"I was so broken when you left, Hermione. Nothing felt right. But when you walked back into my life again... It just felt... right."

"Honestly, I wasn't sure what I was suppose to do either. I thought, I don't know, maybe you would come back to me."

"I was such a prat for not going after you. I should've just went to your place and apologized. I should've known you wouldn't do that to me... I'm so sorry, Hermione."

"I'm sorry too, Ron."

There was silence for awhile.

"That ring I gave to Lavender...it was really for you."

"It was?"

"Yeah, but after I bought it, I heard the rumor and...well, you know."

"Well, I don't think you'll be getting that back anytime soon."

He laughed. "I know. So..." He pulled out a small box from his back pocket and got down on one knee.

She sat up, looking at him, a small smile growing on her face.

"Hermione Jean Granger, I love you. And nothing's going to change that. Will you marry me?"

Her hands were pressed over her mouth, and tears streamed down her face. She moved her hands to show the biggest smile he had ever seen. She nodded vigorously. They stood up and Ron leaned down to snog her. She put her arms around his neck, and he put his around her waist. The kiss became deeper, and Hermione stood on tip-toe just so she could reach better. Realizing this, Ron lifted her off her feet so she wouldn't have to stretch. Cheers came from the doorway, and they looked to see all the Weasleys standing there.

Ron put a blushing Hermione back on the ground, then rubbed the back of his head awkwardly.

"Well, go on then! Put the ring on her finger!" Ginny said.

Ron took Hermione's hand and slid the ring onto her finger.

"It fits-"

"Perfectly." he said, finishing her sentence.

They smiled at each other.

"Hey!" Fred exclaimed.

"That's our thing!" George finished.

They all laughed.

"So when's the wedding?" Hermione asked.

"Next week?"

"Wonderful... Oh my gosh, there's so much to do!" Hermione said, grabbing Ron's hand and hurrying into the kitchen. "Let's get started!"

What do you all think? Sorry about having to put this on hiatus, by the way!
