Two Years Later
After an year of training Harry became an auror working for the
Ministry of Magic. Ron also works for the Ministry of Magic, but as an
assistant to Fudge. It's likely that Ron will eventually take over for
Fudge. Hermione returned to Hogwarts to become the Professor of Charms.
Hermione is training to take over for Dumbledore.
Hermione and Ron have been dating exclusively since their 5th year at
Hogwarts. Now that Ron had a secure job he was ready to propose to his
true love. Ron and Harry went to the jewelry store to pick out the perfect
ring. Ron finally chose an emerald cut diamond with emerald cut sapphires
as side stones. The ring was absolutely gorgeous. As Ron and Harry walked
out of the store Ron said "Harry, I think I'm going to do it tonight. What
do you think?" "What do I think?! I think it's about time!!" exclaimed
Harry. "I've been waiting for you guys to get married for ages" said
Harry. Ron laughed. Harry gave his best friend a hug and said "good
luck." Harry left to go back to work. Ron returned to his apartment to
prepare the picnic he and Hermione were to have that night.
Ron picked up Hermione at Hogwarts and the went to a peaceful field.
The full moon cast a romantic glow on the rolling green hills of the field.
The air was full of the scent of wild flowers. Hermione gasped at the
beauty of the place. "Ron how did you find this place" said Hermione as
she softly kissed him. "You know me, I have my ways." Ron took her hand
as they walked to the top a hill right beneath the moon. He spread the
blanket on the grass and they sat down to eat their picnic. As Hermione
was busy taking the food out of the basket Ron was pouring champagne into
glasses and he slipped the ring into Hermione's glass. He gave her the
glass and said "Let's make a toast. To the woman I love and the wonderful
night under the moon." "Cheers" said Hermione. As she brought the glass
closer to her lips she heard a faint tinkle in her glass. She held up the
glass to the moonlight and saw the ring glistening on the moonlight. It
was so bright in the light that it looked as if a fairy was in the glass.
Hermione gasped in shock as Ron kneeled and took her hand in his own.
"Hermione I've loved you since I met you. You are my one true love. You
would make me the happiest man alive if you would be my wife" said Ron as
tears rolled down his cheeks. Hermione was speechless; she started crying
as she kneeled to hug him. They shared a passionate kiss and when they
parted Ron said "Does that mean yes?" She lightly hit him and said "of
course I'll marry you." Ron dumped out the champagne to retrieve the ring
and slipped it on Hermione's finger. "Oh Ron, you've made me so happy"
said Hermione. Ron and Hermione continued to cuddle on the hill looking up
at the moon and stars.
