Authors' Notes
To be quite honest, I really needed to take a break from writing The Very Secret Diary of Ginny Weasley. Because as focused as I am on my current project, it really doesn't allow me to play with the other characters very much, so I needed a change of pace for a day. And what a day it was!
Wednesday night, a random thought occurred to me. How would Ron actually propose to Hermione? After all, most of us know it was meant to be. It would have to be funny, but sweet. A bit sentimental, and of course in the middle of a blazing row, a very natural occurrence, since it's Ron and Hermione we're talking about here.
It was actually the fight that came to mind first when I thought of it. Ron of course, showing his complete ignorance about women, giving Hermione what would look like a seemingly romantic gesture, and Hermione of course, misconstruing it as an insult to her. Typical Ron and Hermione, even if they are in love.
It had always been in the back of my mind to someday write about how it happened, but now that I had the idea in my head, I had to purge my mind of it. So in a manic high at 4 a.m., I began to write A Perfect Proposal . . . and I didn't stop until 10 p.m. that evening.
Some of you may be confused by it if you haven't read some of my other stories, namely The Music Box and/or Return to Godric's Hollow. And if you haven't guessed already, it happens in between the two. Be that as it may, you will come to realize that I am slowly creating an alternate universe of my own, including my own canon to derive from, and this is only a snippet of it that I wanted to share with you all.
I realize that it's shorter than I would have liked (not like me at all!), and I will probably end up fleshing it out sooner or later, but for now, enjoy my random idea, a perfect proposal in the wondrous world of Harry Potter.
Now for the disclaimer: All the characters, places and magical items (except for maybe the journal) in this story do not belong to me, they belong to the ingenious mind of the fabulous Ms. J.K. Rowling.
However, I do enjoy immersing myself in this wondrous world from time to time, throwing out a few ideas and theories of my own. Therefore, the plot in this little snippet is completely derived from my own odd mind.
