I - Infinite


Forever and Ever

Ron swallowed his nerves. To hell with his plan – his romantic dinner – he was just going to do it. Seeing how happy Harry and Ginny were on their wedding day made him want to want that too. He did want it.

He had it all planned out. Harry had helped him plan it out. But he couldn't wait. He wanted to ask Hermione now – at his sister and best friend's wedding of all days.

She was sitting beside him, her hair pulled back with a few bits curled at the front. She looked absolutely beautiful – she was always beautiful. Of course he wanted to marry her.

He just had to find a way to ask her.

"They're so happy, aren't they?" she commented, smiling over at Harry and Ginny. "It's so wonderful."

"Yeah," Ron replied absently. "Um... Hermione..."

She looked at him. "Yes?"

"Do you... doyouwanttogetmarried?"

She stared at him blankly. "Do I what?"

Ron took in a deep breath. "Do... you... want... to... get... married?" he said slowly.

Hermione's mouth opened in slight shock. She didn't seem to be able to say anything. Ron hoped it was a good shock. "I... well yes, I do want to get married," she said matter-of-factly. "The question is to whom?"

"To me!" Ron said hurriedly. He then saw her smile and realised she had known that all along. "Oh." Well that hadn't really gone to plan, he thought.

Hermione pulled on his shirt, drawing him closer to her. "I'd love to marry you," she said, kissing him.

"I swear, I had it all planned out!" Ron said. "I was going to ask you in a few weeks anyway. Harry had been helping me. It was going to be really romantic and – " he was silenced by Hermione's lips on his again.

"I don't care for any of that, Ron. I don't care whether you take me on a dragon ride and ask me, or do it at your sister's wedding. I care that you love me enough to ask and I love you enough to say yes.

Ron grinned. "Great!" he said. "...wow." He'd just done it. Not how he had planned it, but he had asked her anyway. And she said yes. They were getting married!


Okay, this is my head canon of Ron's proposal and if you're reading The Diary of Ron Weasley, it will also be apparent in later chapters. Let's face it, Ron's not really a romantic. And I tried to portray this as, although he tried to be, it's just not him and Hermione's okay with that. She actually likes it - and the fact he tries anyway. He's awkward and I can't imagine he proposing being all smooth sailing. Anyway, I hope you like it. And thanks for the reviews. I really appreciate you taking the time to review it. Thanks.
