Disclaimer- the plot's all mine, that's all
Exams had just ended and the entire school was celebrating. Gryffindor was personally having their own party, and Harry and Hermione were starting to say their goodbyes. The party ended around midnight and everyone started to go to their dorms, except Harry, Ron, and Hermione who hung back to say goodnight.
"Good night Ron," Hermione said and hugged him.
"'Night," he replied and pulled away from her and went up the stairs, leaving the two alone.
Harry looked at her and smiled, and she did likewise, as he pulled her close to him. He kissed her in such familiar and soft kiss, but it still sent chills down the spines.
"Goodnight Hermione," Harry said.
"Goodnight Harry," Hermione said back, and they reluctantly turned away from each other and went up the stairs.
The next morning they eagerly, yet uneagerly boarded the train. Harry, Ron, and Hermione were once again lucky enough to their own compartment, and the quickly settled in. the train slowly pulled out of Hogsmeade Station, and the trio began their pointless chatter.
"Gosh," Harry said, "I really don't want to get back to the Dursely's"
"You say that every year Harry," Ron said.
"You can stay with me," Hermione said laughing, but meaning her offer.
"Yeah, like your parents will let me," Harry replied sarcastically, and causing Hermione to laugh harder.
"Especially after this year," Hermione said between giggles.
Harry took her hand in his and gave it a small squeeze, "Yep, especially."
"Break it up! Break it up!" Ron said in a joking matter, but Harry let go and they decided to play wizard chess while Hermione read her latest book.
Sometime, around a half hour later, the witch with the cart of sweets came by and all three bought plenty of snacks.
When they were done, Ron got up and excused himself by saying, "I'm gonna go and, um…I'm just gonna go," and gave Harry a wink and walked out the door, sliding the door closed behind him.
Hermione gave Harry a sideways stare as Harry crouched on the ground and dug through his bag.
"Ah ha! There you are," he yelled, as he found what he was looking for. He quickly tucked it into his robes, and looked up at Hermione giving her an embarrassed grin.
He childishly crawled over to rest at her feel and propped himself with one knee.
"Hermione," he began in a serious tone, "I love you. And we've only been together for less than a year, but I already know that I couldn't love anyone anymore than I love you."
Harry reached into his robes and revealed a small black box that he had just found in his bag. He cleared his throat and continued.
"That's why I know that after school is over I want to spend as much time with you as possible," he started to slowly open the box as he continued, "Which means," the box snapped open, "That I want to spend the rest of my life with you."
Hermione gasped as Harry removed the silver band diamond ring from the middle of the box and slipped it onto her left ring finger.
"Now you don't have to say yes, but please don't say no. Just think about it."
Hermione had small tears forming in her eyes, and Harry reached up and wiped them away.
"Harry, I love you too," was all she could say and then leaned down and kissed him.
At this Ron cam in and sat down, and Hermione played with the ring on her finger.
"Boy this has been quite a year hasn't it?" Ron asked, breaking the silence.
"Uh huh," Hermione said, "This year will always last in my mind."
A few minutes later the train had stopped, and the couple was embarrassing. Before leaving him, Hermione have him a small kiss and a whispered, "Yes," then walked away.
A/n- there we go. All done. The end of this series. Did you like it? Tell me in that box down there. Ta!
