White Rose

Chapter 2

Ron awoke the next morning with Hermione still in his arms. He just lied there and stroked her hair. Hermione eventually woke up and they went down to breakfast. Ron conjured some pots and pans and made them make some eggs and bacon. When they were done eating they started to work on unpacking the boxes. They were all in their respective rooms and all you had to say was Placifio, and they would put them selves in their proper place.

Around Noon when they had finally finished putting everything away, they took up a game of wizard chess, which Hermione lost gracefully. They milled around for a bit before they saw the brown barn owl flutter in. Hermione grabbed at it.

"It's for you, Ron."

Ron looked at the parcel that Hermione handed him. It had a white note on top of it which Ron opened and read.

This is just to help you along, dear. My mother gave this to me and I have always thought you'd be needing it. The color looks great with Hermione's eyes. By the way, Ginny was the one who told me.

Love,

Mum.

Ron opened the box. It was a ring. It was silver with a blue saphirre in it.

"What is it?" Hermione asked.

"Erm, Nothing"

"It is not 'nothing'."

"Yes it is… you'll see."

They decided that from there they would go outside for some lemonade and just rest. Ron set the pitcher to work on the Lemonade. He stuck his fingers in the pocket and fumbled with the ring.

How should I do this? It has to be perfect. Maybe I should take her to a resturaunt. No, WAY to formal. A voice from outside interrupted his thought.

"Ron is the Lemonade ready? I'm parched!"

"Uh, Yeah! Coming!"

He brought out the two glasses of lemonade, handed Hermione one and sat down on the ground. Hermione scooted over a bit and sat on his lap.

"Ron, I love this place! It is so serene and peaceful."

Ron figured this was as good of a time as any.

"Erm, yes. I wanted t-t-to ask you something."

"Are you ok? You're stuttering!"

"Yes, um...let me get up."

Both of them stood up.

Ron started blindly. "Hermione, you know I love you more than anything in the world. I don't know what I'd do without you. I love this house, I love living with you in it. I love everything about you. I think it is due time for me to be asking this." He got down on one knee. "Hermione, will you marry me?"

"Yes! A thousand times Yes!!" Then she started to cry as Ron placed the ring on her finger.

"Why are you crying?!"

"Because I am so Happy. I have loved you ever since I met you. This is the best moment of my life."

Ron leaned over and kissed her. It was a soft gentle kiss. One of pure love. They stood out on the back lawn for awhile. Then Hermione gasped.

"What?"

"Oh my goodness! I have to call my parents!"

Ron just sat there for awhile with a dumb grin on his face. He indeed had never been happier.

A/N should I continue?
