Six months later and it was the eve of Harry and Ginny's wedding. The months had flew by with wedding preparations. Hermione was Maid of Honor and had tried so many dresses on for Ginny she'd be glad if she never saw another. Even Draco had been dragged into the plans picking things up for Ginny and Molly.
A lot had changed over the months too. Ron had started to become more civil when he came to Sunday dinners at The Burrow. Draco's parents had gone back to Germany but before they left they had all gone out to dinner. It hadn't been the most comfortable affair but Hermione realized Draco's parents were trying.
Draco and Hermione were lying in bed after making love and Draco had something he wanted to talk to her about.
'Hermione?' He said into her neck.
'Mmmmmm?' She answered.
'I've been thinking about you moving in with me and the wedding tomorrow.' He said moving to look at her.
She opened her eyes. 'If you've changed your mind it's a bit late now all my stuff is here.'
'No I haven't changed my mind.' He said smiling and planting a kiss on her. 'Marry me?'
Hermione looked at him. 'What?'
'Marry me!' He repeated. 'I love you. I don't see why we should wait. I want to spend my life with you.' He kissed her. 'Grow old with you.' He kissed her again. 'Have kids with you.'
Hermione smiled at him tears in her eyes. 'Yes! Of course I will.' She kissed him.
He pulled away and leaned over to the draw beside their bed. He pulled a red velvet box out and opened it for Hermione. Inside was a gold ring with a diamond and two pink stones on either side. It was perfect. Hermione held out her left hand for Draco to put the ring on. She looked at her hand with a watery smile happy tears running down her face. She kissed him hoping to put her love in to the kiss.
Hermione and Ginny would be staying at their apartment as it was the night before the wedding. When Hermione arrived she saw Ginny hanging up her dress for the morning.
'You're late!' She said without turning round. 'You couldn't keep your hands off him for one night?'
Hermione laughed. 'Ginny!'
Ginny turned round now to see that Hermione had red eyes. 'What's wrong? I'll kill him if he's done something wrong now!'
Hermione showed Ginny her ring. Ginny screamed grabbing her had to take a closer look. 'Wow! Now that's a ring!' Ginny hugged Hermione. 'I'm so happy for you!'
'Thankyou Ginny.' She said hugging her back. 'We won't say anything till after tomorrow. It's your day.'
'Don't be stupid my mum's going to be made up.' She said grinning. 'She'll probably want you to have the wedding at The Burrow you know I think she's getting a wedding planner bug or something.' They giggled.
The rest of the night went by with wine and pampering. Hermione woke the next morning with Ginny jumping on her bed.
'It's my wedding day! I'm getting married today!' She kept jumping. 'Get up! Get up! Lots to do!'
Ginny's happiness was infectious. Hermione got up with a grin on her face. They got their dresses together and went to The Burrow. Molly Weasley was already bustling about the kitchen.
'Hello dears.' She said smiling. 'Now I've set up your old bedroom Ginny for you both to get ready in.'
'Thanks mum.' Ginny grinned. 'Hey guess what we've got more news for you!'
'Another Grandchild!' Molly bustled up to Ginny.
'No Mum!' Ginny laughed. 'Draco proposed to Hermione.'
'Oh Hermione I'm so happy for you!' She hugged her.
The rest of the morning went by in much that same way. Hermione receiving congratulations from everyone. Ginny and Hermione got ready each doing each other's hair and make-up. Ginny had eventually chose a light pink strapless gown for Hermione to wear. And it suited her skin tone.
Meanwhile Draco had arrived and Molly was keeping him busy setting up chairs. After giving him a hearty congratulations. Draco was levitating some chairs into position when Ron came to help.
'Malfoy.' He said.
'Weasley' Draco answered he was too happy to fight today.
'I'll still get her back you know.' Ron said. 'I won't give up.'
Malfoy sighed. 'Listen Weasley. It's about time you moved on. You're the one who fucked up and I'm the one she's agreed to marry.'
Ron didn't know what to say. He needed to check if it was true.
Hermione had just put the finishing touches on Ginny and she look beautiful. There was a knock on the door.
'I'll get it.' Hermione said. 'Ron. Have you come to see Ginny?'
'No I needed to see you.' Ron looked at her left hand and saw the ring. 'So it's true you're going to marry Malfoy?'
'Yes it's true.' She said and couldn't help smiling. 'He asked me yesterday.'
'Just twist the knife in.' He said sadly.
'Ron I told you we weren't going to happen.' Hermione sighed. 'Maybe now you'll be able to move on.'
Ron sighed and left.
Not long after the wedding started. Everybody stood up and watched the Bride walk down the aisle with her father. All eyes on her. Except Draco's He watched Hermione walk down the aisle behind them. She took his breath away and he couldn't help imagining what she would look like in white walking down the aisle to meet him and become his wife. He was beaming.
