Chapter 10: The Proposal
Harry got off Hermione and lay next to her as they both panted for breath. Suddenly, there was a knock on the door which startled Hermione, who fell of the bed. Harry and Hermione looked at each other. Hermione scrambled towards the bathroom while Harry ran to the door and opened it. The cleaning lady gasped and said something in Italian. Another cleaning lady ran next to her and looked at Harry. The 53 year old woman smirked, mumbled something in Italian then winked at Harry. He was completely confused. Hermione poked her head out the bathroom door to see what was going on. Her eyes widened and she bit her lip. "Harry!"
Harry turned his had towards her. Her eyes drifted downwards. Harry followed. "Shit!" He slammed the door shut. "Come back later!" He yelled through the other side. Hermione came out the bathroom, wrapped in a towel. She threw one at Harry and he wrapped it around his waist. "Thanks." He sat down on the bed and put his head in his hands.
Hermione sat next to him. "So about what just happened…"
Harry put a hand over his stomach as he heard it grumble. He was definitely hungry. They had, after all, missed dinner. He was also hungry due to earlier activities…"Hold that thought…can we get room service first? I'm so hungry…"
Hermione smiled. "Ok."
Harry picked up the phone and called for room service. He ordered for a medium rare steak with mashed potatoes smothered with gravy and some veggies on the side. "So what do you want 'Mione?"
"I'll have what you're having!" She said with a grin. Harry then ordered for two sodas to go with that. When he finished, he put the phone down and faced Hermione. Her wide grin faded into a small smile. "So…what are we doing?"
Harry smiled and raised an eyebrow. "We're waiting for room service!" He laughed a little.
Hermione did not laugh. She just kept smiling. "That's not what I meant." Harry grew quiet. "What are we doing...?"
Harry thought this would be the perfect time to tell her about his true feelings for her. But he was scared. What if she didn't feel the same way? But then room service came.
A really hot guy came in bringing the food. The guy checked Hermione out while Hermione thought Harry was checking him out. When he left, Hermione felta pang in her heart. "He's still gay…" They ate in silence. This silence of course was then broken by a loud noise outside. They poked their heads out the door to see what was going on. They saw Ginny screaming as Ron slammed Draco into the wall. "Ron! Stop!" He didn't. Hermione couldn't just stand there and do nothing. "Petrificus totalus!" (a/n: I hope I spelled that right….)
Ron froze and fell to the ground. Ginny ran to Draco's aid. "What are you three doing here!" Harry dragged Ron to his room and dumped him on the bed.
Hermione looked guilty. "Ron found out…he kinda dragged us here…I'm sorry…"
Harry came out smiling. "So did you ask her yet?" He asked the now standing Draco. Draco looked horrified.
"Ask me what?" Ginny said with curiosity.
Harry did not pick up the tension coming from Draco. "To marry you of course!" He froze. 'Uh-oh…' "He hasn't asked you yet…?" He looked at Draco and mouthed a sorry.
Draco just smiled and nodded. He then bent down on one knee and brought out the engagement ring he and Hermione had picked out. "Well, I wanted to ask you in a more romantic venue till your brother attacked me," Hermione winced at that. She thought she was in a way responsible. "But since it's all out, Ginny? Will you marry me?"
Ginny stared at Draco. She couldn't believe what was just happening. Tears were welling up. "Yes!" She jumped into Draco's arms and hugged him tightly. She giggled as Draco slipped the ring on her finger. It fit perfectly. She and Draco kissed and faced Harry and Hermione. "Wow. I'm so happy!" She then froze and her smile grew bigger. "Let's get married!"
Draco's raised an eyebrow. "Uh, I already asked you, remember?"
Ginny laughed as she wrapped her arms around Draco's neck. "I meant let's get married tomorrow…"
"Say what?" The two friends exclaimed.
Ginny grinned. "Yeah! This place is so beautiful and I want the ceremony to be small. Hermione will be my made of honor and, if you don't mind," She said while looking at Harry. "You can be Draco's best man. Ron will give me away." Harry and Hermione were fine about the idea. They weren't so keen on letting Ron participate in the wedding though... "I know it will be difficult, but I'll talk to Ron." She walked towards Ron's bedroom. "Hermione, when I get in there, unfreeze him." Hermione nodded. Ginny took a deep breath, opened the door and jumped in. Ron unfroze. He looked at her angrily. "Before you say anything, I want you to know that I know I'm doing the right thing. I can think for my self. I'm not a little girl anymore and I am in love!" She paused and Ron sighed. "We're getting married tomorrow. We don't have much time left in Milan. Thought we might as well have the honeymoon here!" Ro winced. The thought of them doing such things did not make it easier. "But you being there would mean a lot to me…to us." She made a gesture towards the door meaning Draco. "I want you to be the one to give me away…Please Ron?"
Ron smiled and embraced her. This had been such a tender moment between a brother and a sister. "Ok."
And that's it! For now…the next chapter will be the last! If you wanna know how this is gonna end, PLEASE REVIEW:)
