Harry Potter: College Years
Chapter 7: Hermione's Birthday
A/N: OK, this Chapter is devoted to Hermione's birthday. As you all should know, hers in on September 19. Anyway, keep on voting on who you want to have a kid during college… not who you DON'T want! Chapter Seven awaits…
Hermione woke up one day in late September with a feeling of excitement in her chest.
"Why am I so excited?" she wondered, but was interrupted by a smiling Harry leaning over her.
"Happy Birthday Mione!" he said kissing her. Hermione smiled.
"Aw Harry you remembered!" she exclaimed, kissing his cheek. Harry rolled his eyes at his girlfriend.
"Of course I wouldn't forget Mione! I've known you for what seven years?" he said in mock surprise. Hermione kissed him again, and got out of bed.
"Where are you going?" Harry asked.
"Getting dressed." Hermione said, and closed the bathroom door, leaving behind a very sleepy Harry.
**********************************
"Happy Birthday Herm!!!!" Lily squealed as Hermione and Harry joined them at breakfast. Hermione gave Lily a hug.
"Thanks Lils." Hermione said. Hermione had decided to put on a silver tank top, a denim skirt, and black sandals. Harry took his place next to Ron and Hermione and picked up a piece of bacon. Lily stood up.
"Ahem. Since today is Herm's birthday, which happens to be Saturday, we are taking her to Le Ritz hotel for the entire night, courtesy of Draco Malfoy and Harry Potter duh, they're the rich ones remember?) Lily announced. Hermione squealed in her delight. Le Ritz hotel is THE most luxurious hotel in LA (A/N: I haven't been to LA, so I am just pretending there's a hotel called the Ritz there)!
At 10:30, everyone was waiting in the front building for the limousine to pick them up. Harry tapped Lily on the shoulder and beckoned her to a corner.
"Lily, I have to ask you something," he began nervously. Lily nodded.
"Ok, well…. Iwanttoaskmionetomarryme," he said in a rush. Lily somehow cought all that and opened her mouth.
"Oh Harry that's great! You really should, it would really make her happy." Lily sighed, thinking of her cousin and her best friend together forever. Harry smiled and hugged her.
"Thanks," he whispered, and they walked over to the rest of the gang.
"What were you two discussing?" Draco asked. Lily whispered the plan to Draco. He smiled.
"Finally!"
******************************************
Later that day, the gang was eating lunch in the restaurant at Le Ritz. Hermione smiled at Harry.
"Oh, Harry! This is wonderful!" she said, finishing up her BLT. Harry smiled at her.
"Thanks honey." He replied. Lily smiled knowingly at Harry. He beckoned her to come over.
"Lil, when should I propose? Tonight, now, or after everybody's gone to bed?" Harry asked.
"After the party, I think." Lily said to her cousin. Harry hugged her.
"Thanks Lil, I just want the timing to be right. How do you know when to do that?" Harry asked questionably. Lily smiled slyly and showed him her left hand. He gasped. A huge diamond ring (I HAD TO DO THIS!) was on her ring finger.
"Draco.. asked the question?" he whispered. Lily nodded.
"Just last night. It was like a dream. That's why I said after." She whispered back.
"Who knows?" Harry asked her.
"Just you now. But we plan to announce it soon, so please keep it a secret?" Lily's eyes looked pleadingly into Harry's. He nodded silently.
*********************************************
"Guess where we're going Herm?" Lavender said.
"Where?" Hermione wanted to know. Lily smiled and pulled out a brocheure.
"OMG!!! DISNEYLAND!!! I haven't been there since I was little (ok, so she hasn't MY story remember?)" Hermione exclaimed. Harry laughed and put his arm around her.
"I knew you'd like it Mione," he said. Hermione kissed him,
"Oh Harry! It was your idea?" This is the best birthday ever!!!!" she sighed happily.
"To the limo!" Ron called. Harry watched as Lily took Draco aside. The couple stood talking for awhile then Lily nodded and hugged him. When she came over to Harry, he asked "What happened?"
"We were discussing how I should hide the ring," Lily whispered back. Harry nodded and the three of them got into the limo.
********************************
When Hermione said it was the best birthday, she obviously didn't mean just for herself. Everybody had so much fun that day. Lavender and Ron took over on the water rides, Lily and Draco with the roller coasters, and Harry and Hermione all over the place. They met at Paradise Pier: Avalon Cave to have lunch, then they went to the Hollywood Picture Backlot to see the Disney animation.
When they got back to the hotel, they found in their suite a huge table with a huge buffet on a longer table on the side. Hermione started to cry.
"You guys this is too much!" she sobbed into Harry's shirt.
"Nothings too much for you love," Harry soothingly. They all sat down at the table and began to eat.
At 7:30 exactly, the rooms bell rang. Hermione went to open it, and she screamed.
"Mum! Dad! Alex (little sister)! What are you doing here?" she exclaimed.
"Well, Lily called yesterday.." her mother began but Hermione wasn't listening. She had run over to Lily and was hugging her very tightly.
"Uh, Herm? I can't breathe" Lily gasped as Hermione let her go, tears in her eyes again.
"Oh Lil you didn't have to! I'm just so happy! Nothing else could make me happier!" She exclaimed. Lily looked over to Harry and winked. He nodded, thinking:
"No, there's one thing more…"
*****************************************
After Hermione's parents had gone home and everybody had gone to bed, Harry and Hermione were left alone in the parlor part of the suite. Harry had his hand in his pocket where the engagement ring was.
"Harry, I'm so happy. I don't know what could make me happier!" she sighed. Harry chose that moment.
"Well, I do…" Hermione jerked her head up.
"What do you.." she asked, but stopped as Harry got on one knee and took out a black velvet box.
"Hermione Anne Granger, will you do me the honor of being my wife?" he asked, opening the box to reveal a diamond ring with a sapphire and a ruby on each side.
"Oh Harry! I don't know what to say," she breathed.
"A yes I'd love to would be nice" Harry joked. Hermione sighed and placed her forehead against his.
"Honey, yes would never cover it," she whispered and kissed him deeply. Harry slipped the ring on her finger.
"Did this make you happier?" he murmured. Hermione smiled sleepily.
"A thousand times more," she said before they both fell into a long dreamless sleep.
