AN: thank you for reading and hope you enjoy it! Maybe there will be another epilogue if the muse strikes again but for now this is the end of Bewitchin Kitchen. Thank you for your support.

Hermione was walking around the kitchen, making sure that every last detail was in order before the big opening tonight. She had worked hard for the last three years. Taking more and more opportunities to work with world renowned chefs, Hermione had made name for herself slowly but surely.

Hermione caught her reflection in the polished work surfaces. She felt like a million dollars tonight. Her hair was up into a messy bun, a few curls framing her face. Her deep blue dress midi-length dress was covered in tiny golden and silver stars. A dainty necklace with a half-moon rested in the valley of her breasts. She gingerly touched the pendant and a huge smile formed on her face. As she touched the pendant, the ring on her left ring finger sparkled in the light. The golden ring had large diamond in the centre, it was surrounded by single row of little diamonds. There was a second ring that formed a sort of crown on the diamond. Four emeralds were almost cuddling the diamond.

"Hermione! Are you ready?" Padma shouted while putting in earrings as she came into the kitchen.

Hermione chuckled. "Yeah, I'm ready."

Padma smiled. "I think you're going to love it."

Hermione looked up, Padma standing a few feet away. "Love what?"

Padma grinned. "You'll see." Padma took Hermione's hand and dragged her out into the dining room.

The dining room was packed. All the Weasleys except Ron were already mingling and sipping champagne. Harry was standing next to a very pregnant Ginny whose hand didn't stray from her belly. Fred and George were talking to Adrian and Marcus, gesturing wildly. They were very excited to have another pair of investors for a risky business venture. Molly was standing in a little group with Narcissa, Mama Krum and Nona Zabini whispering and looking hopeful at Hermione after they glanced at Ginny's protruding belly.

Blaise was talking to Fleur, who was holding little Victoire in her arms. Victoire had been so excited to come to aunti mimi's restaurant but the toddler couldn't stay awake to even be a part of the opening. But she knew that Victoire would be a frequent visitor.

A hand wrapped around her waist pulled her closer to a very muscular chest. A soft kiss pressed against her temple. "I'm proud of you my love." Draco said softly.

Hermione turned to him and put her hands on his chest, looking up. "I couldn't have done it without you."

Draco smiled as he looked down at her left hand. "We all knew that you would be successful my sweet."

Hermione smiled. "When you say it, it must be true." Hermione leaned up to kiss him but stopped as she heard commotion outside.

Padma strolled past her. "You're welcome."

Hermione looked at her, before hurrying down to the entrance. She had hired a few bouncers for the opening night because the Daily Prophet had been raving about the grand opening for weeks. Hermione didn't want to share this special night with random people. She had sent out invitations and portkeys to anyone she wanted to attend.

There was a lot of screaming and cursing going on and Hermione stopped in her tracks as she saw who was waiting outside. Ron was standing there with his newest conquest. After Hermione had returned from Belgium almost four years ago, Ron had been pissed off that she hadn't been there when he finally found a job at his favourite Quidditch team, the Chudley Cannons. Ron hadn't even mentioned the fact that Hermione had been gone for weeks or that he had missed her. Just the fact that she hadn't been here to bask in his glory when he became the towel boy of his favourite team, broke the camel's back. Hermione had been shocked and had hexed him so good that even the healers in St Mungo's couldn't figure out what was causing Ron to lay eggs every five minutes. When they had tried to cure him, the second part of the jinx began to work, he would grow feathers and wilt every hour.

Molly had called Hermione after a few days and asked her to turn Ron back to normal. Hermione had done so reluctantly but Ron had avoided her after that until she made a name for herself. When Hermione's restaurant became well-known before it even opened, Ron had tried to snag himself an invite. But Hermione had been adamant and evidently Ron was determined to get his picture taken walking into Sapore.

Hermione made her way up to the bouncer and made him step aside for a minute.

"Finally Mione. Let me in."

Hermione shook her head. "Nope not going to happen."

"Come on don't be such a bitch." Ron tried to push in, shoving her out of the way.

A hand shot out, grasping Ron's shoulder and pushing him back. "Is there a problem Weasley?" Marcus asked.

Ron gulped. "I just want to go in."

Hermione shook her head. "You never supported me when I told you about my love for food and creating magic on a plate. And now suddenly you want to come in just because you think it will give you the promotion you've been trying to snag but been too lazy to work for. Just go Ron." Ron was pulled away kicking and screaming by the bouncer, Padma pulled up another ward, sealing the entrance.

Marcus wrapped his arms around her. "You okay love?"

Hermione nodded. "I'm fine. I just want to do my speech and go home. I want to celebrate with my fiancés."

Marcus chuckled. "Go on than love. We can't wait to celebrate with you."

Hermione smiled and cast a Sonorus on herself. "Ladies and Gentlemen, can I have your attention please?" Blaise and Adrian came and stood beside her. All four Slytherins surrounding her.

"I want to thank all of you for coming tonight. Sapore has been a passion project of mine for the last three years. It had been blood sweat and tears before it finally came together. There had been moments of doubt but these four gentlemen next to me made it worth the while. They didn't allow me to give up on my dream even when I was close to giving up. They made me a better woman and a better cook and I'm glad to announce that they will make an honest woman of me yet."

The crowd gasped and Hermione heard an 'I knew it!' at the back of the room.

"Please enjoy the food and drinks tonight and let's toast on friendship, family and love. Cheers."

Most people lifted their champagne glass before turning around again, continuing their previous conversation.

Adrian put his hand on her lower back. "Let's go home sweet."

Hermione smiled. "I can't wait."
