After Hogwarts Chapter Two… …The End's Only Just Begun You Know! Part Deux. For Harry Potter Fans all over the world,

     Hermione walked slowly back to her dormitory. She felt much better off that Harry was going to aid her. She reached the Gryffindor portrait, the Fat Lady was weeping.

"I remember when you were eleven, oh now look at you, you're a fully pledged witch!"

"Yeah, it's been a long few years." Hermione glided into the dormitory it was empty apart from a silhouette by the red raging fire. She recognised it as Ron.

         Hermione had to speak to him, so she crept over to sit with the boy she loved. "Ron?" Hermione whispered. Ron looked up at Hermione with his big blue puppy-dog eyes, and then he scowled.

"What do you want?" He said. His voice was unsteady, but not irate.

"Ron, we need to talk, there is no point in denying it!"

"I don't want to look at you."

"What are you doing then?" Hermione sat down and faced Ron.

"I'm not looking at you." Hermione looked deeply into his azure eyes. There were red rings around them; he had been crying.

"Ron, just listen!"

"I can't!" He turned away to look at the fire; a wonderful glow enlightened his face.

"But why?"    

"I got a letter this morning from Fred and Angelina."

"They are okay, aren't they?"

"Yeah, Angelina is with child too."

"That's great!" Hermione smiled, she put a hand on Ron's shoulder.

"Hermione! Leave off." Ron removed Hermione's hand. "Fred and Angelina are twenty-five!" Ron shouted. "They've been married five years!"

"We've know each other for seven years!"

"Hermione, please, just please leave it!"

"This is one thing we can't leave Ron, you helped create the baby, you're much a part of it as I am, it's just inside me!"

"I know, but-" Ron seemed lost for words. Then he grinned. "Luckily you're the brainiest girl Hogwarts has ever seen!"

"What?"

"This baby is gonna be spoilt mad!"

"I still don't get it."

"I could start up Chess lessons, or a Chess shop, you could get into the Ministry as fast as possible, we will bring this baby up in a good environment." Hermione smiled at Ron, he actually had a good idea, he was making sense, he had stopped being stubborn ol' Ron!

"Ron, you know, you're not that bad!" Hermione lay her head on Ron's shoulder.

"I do still love you."

"I know, I knew you did everyone love me!" She giggled, winking at the father of their baby.

"So, Miss Hermione Granger, will you take my hand in marriage?"

"Ron, of course I will, I'm getting married! But, what will our parents think!?"

"Shut up Granger!" Ron grabbed Hermione and pulled her into a long embracing kiss.

"Wait!" Ron pulled out of the kiss and bit his lip, as a pale hand delved into the pockets of his dress robes.

"Ron?" Hermione gazed at her fiancé intensely, whilst Ron rummaged about his deep pockets.

"Got it!" Ron beamed at Hermione; he clutched his hands shut, and signalled for Hermione to open them.

"Ron, we forgot the most important thing!" Ron laughed, and so did she. Hermione let Ron slip the small diamond ring on to her slender finder, adorned with red nail varnish, to match her dress. "I didn't even look at it last time."

"It's not the most romantic way, but s long as I have you."

Author's Note

Thank you for your reviews! I love you all!

In addition, to those who reviewed my "Harry Potter after Book Seven." I would like to say, thank you for your opinion, but it's the hype I do not like, it's over commercialised, I started reading Harry Potter back in 1997 when the Philosopher's Stone was first released, there was no hype, for a few months, then the British Media learned of the books greatness, and exploited it furthermore, remember this quote, from Shakespeare's' Twelfth Night "Some are born great, some achieve greatness, and some have greatness thrust upon them." Which one do think the Harry Potter books are now?

I do love the books dearly, but I do wish, and I know some of you do wish that the Pottermania would end.
