A/N: You're all going to hate me tremendously for this chapter and I apologize ...! There will be a note in about 2 days telling you all about the sequel, along with the title. I'm so sorry it had to end (or rather begin) this way folks, but I hope you've enjoyed it so far. If you've got any mad ideas for twists in the next story, LET ME KNOW! Thanks!

Disclaimer: I own nothing other than Nick Bonnovin and the plot!

Chapter 8: The Ending … Or Is It?

(Hermione)

"Hermione Granger, will you marry me?" The words repeated a countless number of times as I had to pause and think of what had just happened. Had Nick just asked me to marry him? Yes, he did. And I love him, and he obviously loves me. So here goes …

"Yes Nick, I will marry you!" I answered and he swept me up into his arms and kissed me numerous times all over my face and I just stood there smiling.

It had finally happened. I had found The One. The One I'd spend the rest of my life with. The One I would hold until the day I died.

I was the future Mrs. Hermione Bonnovin.

(Harry)

I couldn't process what had just happened. Had Nick asked Hermione, my Hermione, to marry him? I couldn't understand what had happened. No matter how hard I tried to convince myself otherwise, I had lost Hermione.

If only I had been able to get the point across that I love her … maybe she never would have said yes, maybe she would have given me the chance with her … but I hadn't. I had waited too long and had not told her very straightforwardly.

I had lost her forever …

(Ron)

I nearly choked to death on my cupcake when Nick asked Hermione to marry him. I mean, I didn't have feelings for her anymore but I just couldn't believe that she had said yes and it was really going to happen.

I never thought I'd see the day when Hermione Granger got … got … married … this was crazy.

(Ginny)

My smile faded as Nick proposed. Why, you may ask? Because I KNEW deep down that Hermione and Harry belonged together. Why didn't you stop Hermione before, you may also I ask? Well, I couldn't exactly just come out and say 'Look Mione, Harry loves you so you can't go out with Nick.' So that my friends is why I may have to slap Hermione Granger because she is too blind to see what's in front of her …

What a stupid prat …

(Nick)

She said yes! She said yes!

(Hermione)

After the dance all that I got were 'congrats' and 'it's so great' and things like that.

Nick and I sat down and discussed and decided to have the wedding at Hogwarts about 1 week before school started back up.

The date was set for August 25.

Only a few months until the wedding. Nothing could possibly ruin this …
