"Mum! I'm so happy!" Scorpius yells as he jumps up and down on their bed. Hermione was in the bathroom wiping away her make-up. She spots the ring on her finger and stares at it. "Aren't you happy mum? I'm finally gonna have a Daddy!" Hermione smiles.

"Yes, sweetheart. Isn't that what you wanted?"

"Very much! Robert's a really nice guy and he really loves you." Hermione exits the washroom and walks over to her son who was still jumping on their bed.

"You'll fall off." She says as she continues to watch him jump.

"Mum! Aren't you happy? I am." Hermione gives him a kiss on the forehead before she settles him down on their bed.

"Of course, sweetheart. Have you seen the ring?" She shows him and he gasps.

"Girl, you got a keeper." He says in a funny and sassy tone then laughs. Hermione laughs too.

"I do have a keeper, don't I?" She lays down beside him and tucks them both in.

"Well, Uncle Ron said if you want to propose to a girl the ring has to be big! That means that the boy really loves you." He hugs his mother and yawns. "That's why I'm already saving up money."

"Saving money for a ring?" She exclaims turning off Scorpius' light. He yawns again before nodding. "Who are you saving for? Do you have a girlfriend already?"

"I don't want to tell you."

"What? Why not?" Hermione strokes her son's platinum hair. "I'm your mother I deserve to know."

"That's the point, you're my mother. You don't deserve to know." His eyes flutter close.

"Well. Then I guess you have to sleep on your bed tonight. Get out. Go to your room." Scorpius always sleeps on Hermione's room, he was still afraid of sleeping alone. Hermione didn't mind, she felt closer to her son.

"What?" He shots up from his position and opens his light. "I don't want to sleep there."

"You won't tell me who's the lady you're saving up for so... " Hermione points at the door. Scorpius pouts and stares at his mother.

"Fine I'll tell you." He lays down on the bed again. Head resting on Hermione's arms. "I'm saving up for Lily. I want to propose to her one day."

"Lily? Lily Potter?"

"Shh, mum. Don't embarrass me tomorrow."

"Oh yes, they're eating with us for dinner. I totally forgot about that. I guess I have to make plans on what to cook. Hmm. I wonder what Lily likes..." Hermione continues stroking her son's hair.

"Mum... don't tell her yet."

"I won't." After laughing one last time and admiring her ring, the two settled in for the night.


Rinnng, Rinnng

Hermione dialed up Robert on her phone. It was 3 in the afternoon. Robert texted her this morning but she forgot to reply. She stares on the ring on her fingers.

Rinnng, Rinnng

Robert was awesome and she hope Ginny will agree. Well, not that Ginny has any choice. She's engaged now! She smiles as she imagines her reaction.

Rinnng, Rii- Hello, Robert speaking.

"Hi Robert, it's Hermione."

Hey Mione, what you up to? I'm sorry I took so long to answer. I left my phone in the office.

"Well, a couple of friends want to have dinner with you... since we've been dating for awhile now and they love to get to know you." Hermione fumbles on the hem of her shirt as she speaks with Robert. Scorpius was in front of the television watching cartoons and she was in the kitchen.

Dating? Hahaha. We're engaged Hermione, have you forgotten?"

"No. No, it's that they think we're still dating. I'd tell them we're engaged later."

No problem, dear. Where shall we eat?

"I was hoping you have the answer to that." She laughs. Hermione didn't know a lot of fancy restaurants since all Scorpius likes are fast food chains and ice cream parlors.

Got that covered. I'll send you the address via text after the call. You can send that to your friends. I'll fetch you and Scorpius later. Around what time?

"Around six, I guess."

How many are they? I'll reserve us a great spot.

"Wow, very fancy of you Mr. Robert."

Anything for my fiancee.

Hermione smiles at his note. It sounded sweet, ear pleasing to hear. She was Robert's fiancee. "Well, Mr. Hermione's Fiance. Reserve a table for seven."

Ok, Ms. Robert's Fiancee. I'll fetch you around five thirthy. Love you.

"Love you too." She hangs up on him and she enters the living room, Scorp was still laying on the couch. "Go get dressed we're having dinner with Lily's family."

"Ugh, the last time I got dressed early you took forever. Why can't you get dressed first?" Scorpius sits up. It was true. Hermione takes forever getting ready but get's angry when her son takes too long to fix his hair.

"Cause I'm your mother. Go on. Do it." The little boy grunts but does it. "Now, be extra handsome. Don't forget... Lily's coming." Hermione teases as the he climbs the stairs.

"I WISH I DIDNT TELL YOU" He yells before closing his bedroom door shut. She chuckles. Her phone vibrates.

"Got the reservations for dinner at six. It's quite hard to get reservations at Le Blue on a Sunday night but... I'd do anything for Ms. Robert's Fiancee. Love you lots x" Hermione smiles at the message. She grabs a notepad and scribbles the address of the restaurant then asks Snowbell, her white owl, to deliver it to Ginny. It's true. It's hard to get reservations at the Le Blue. She doesn't eat out much but the restaurant is so popular that one can't help not knowing it. It's a fancy restaurant and would probably take you months before getting a proper reservation. Robert was surely something precious alright.

Hermione climbs up the stairs and began getting ready. She picked out a very lovely gold dress. The back was exposed and there was a gigantic slit on the right side. The last time she wore this was... she shakes her head remembering the time she went to a ball with Malfoy. She hated the old memories the dress holds. It was a lovely dress. She has to replace the old memories with a new one, happy new memories. She proceeds to take a bath.


Draco took a big huff of breath before he apparates to Hermione Granger's muggle neighborhood. He practiced his lines to perfection the night before. He was ready alright. He wore muggle clothes to blend in with the environment. Jeans and a t-shirt. He felt weird but Blaise said he had to so he won't look crazy. He walks a few before landing in front of her house. This was it.

He was going to knock. He balls his fist and was about to slam it on the door when he hesitates. He stood there in front of the door, frozen. Hand frozen in the air.

"I'm going to do it." He declares to no one as he stood there after three minutes still frozen. He couldn't do it. He sighs. He let his hand drop to his side. "Draco, you have to do this." He balls his hand again and knocks. One sharp loud knock. He straightens himself when he hears the lock of the doors being unlatched and open.

"Ugh... who are you?" A confused old man welcomed him. Draco's eyes widened

"Um.. is this Hermione Granger's residence?" Draco assumed that the old man was Hermione's husband.

"Ohh Hermione Granger. She lives across from me. At that house. That red house." The old man points at the house in front of his. Blaise's ass is so toasted.

"Thank you, Sir. Sorry for disturbing you." He shuts the door close at Draco's face. He shrugs off the thought that he had and walks across the street. Of course Hermione has a red house. This was it.
