Chapter48
The next day Sirius went to visit Dumbledore early, before the staff meeting.
"Albus, Albus, I have wonderful news!" He greeted Dumbledore.
"And that would be what Sirius?"
"Harry and Hermione are engaged!"
"That's wonderful Sirius, when did this happen?"
"Last night, Harry asked, Hermione said yes, then they came and told Remus and I!"
"That is fantastic news Sirius, when's the wedding?"
"Who's wedding, Albus?" McGonnagall asked as she walked in, followed by the rest of the staff.
"Must be Potter and Granger's," Snape said.
" 'Arry and 'Ermione?" Hagrid asked.
"When did they get engaged?" Flitwick asked.
"Yesterday," Remus answered.
"How did her parents react, to them being together?" McGonnagall asked.
"They don't know," Sirius answered.
"So, there in for a big shock when their daughter get's home," Madam Hooch said.
"How did you know, Severus?" Albus asked.
"I ran into them last night, after there meeting with Sirius," Snape answered.
"So, Sybl, did the fates predict this?" McGonnagall mockiungly asked.
"Yes, just not when," she mistily answered. Many of the teachers, okay all of the teachers snorted in laughter, anyone could have predicted the couple.
~~~~~~~Friday~~~Leaving Feast~~~~~~~~~
"Another year has come and gone, with many surprises and realizations, who would have said Lord Voldemort would be gone at this time last year, anyone, I didn't think so, or that Sirius Black would be your teacher? No One, but it happened and it's a wonderful thing. Many of you seventh years have wonderful things ahead of you, others only have the upcoming school year to look forward to, after a hopefully fantastic summer. For all of you, who have graduated I wish you the best of luck in your lives. I would like to congradulate Gryffindor House for yet another house and Quidditich cup. Everyone have a wonderful train ride tommorrow and summer after that, DIG IN."
~~~~Final Train Ride~~~~~
"It's so sad, we're never going to be students of Hogwarts again," Hermione said, Harry nods.
Ron snorts, "Quit thinking of school, we're free!"
"Now, we have to work for the rest of our lives," Lavender said.
"Quit trying to bring me down!" Ron exclaimed.
"Harry, Hermione are you moving in together?" Lav asked.
"Yeah, it was the plan, after we find out which team I'm on," Harry answered.
"Are you going to play, Herm?" Ron asked.
"Only if Harry and I are on the same team."
"Understandable, I wouldn't want to go against my fiance," Lav commented.
"Exactly," Hermione seconded. The four chatted, played exploding snap, and Wizards Chess, just enjoying their final train ride from Hogwarts.
They reached King's Cross, Hermione and Harry, lagging behind the barrier, for their Good Byes, "I'm going to miss you," Harry told Hermione,
"Me too, even if it's only a few days."
After a long kiss and hug good bye, they went through the barriar,
"Well, I'll see you around, Harry."
"Right back at you, Herm," and they hugged a friendly hug good bye, and left, Hermione with her parents and Harry with Sirius.
~~~~~~~~Earlier this day~~~~~~~~~ "Morning Severus," Sirius called as he sat near Snape.
"Morning Sirius."
"Oy Snapey, I've been meaning to ask you."
"Ask me what?"
"How did you know about Harry and Hermione?"
"I ran into them in the hall and saw the ring, it was Lily's right?"
"Yeah, Remus and I gave it to him."
"I expected as much, I really hope everything works out for them."
"I thought you hated, Harry?"
"No, just gave him a hard time."
"Why?"
"The memory of you and James torturing me all those years ago, and he's a Gryffindor."
"I'm sorry Severus, truce?"
"Yeah, I can't actually hate Harry, he's to much like his mother, compassionate, has some brains, but he's like James in, he's extremely loyal to those he cares for, and even spares those he despises, he's a great person."
"Whoa, am I hearing you right, Severus?"
"Yes, you are, what is he going to do now he's graduated, he's not going to join the circus, is he?"
"No, Quidditich, why?"
"Because a student of mine is joining the Wizard Circus."
"Who?"
"Draco Malfoy, he wants to become the Amazing Flying Ferret."
"Oh my god, has he gone insane?"
"I'm not sure, it might just be what he's always wanted to do, but kept quiet, his father and all."
"Yes, I understand, but it's amazingly funny," and he fell on the floor in hysterical laughter.
"It is, it really is," and Snape joined him laughing on the floor. ~~~~~~~~~~~~
While Sirius and Harry apparated out of King's Cross, Hermione got in the car with her parents. In the car---- "So, Hermione, what will you do now, that your graduated and and full fledged witch?" Her Dad asked.
"I'll either go to school more or play Quidditich."
"Quidditich?" her mother asked.
"Yes, the most popular sport in the wizarding world, I was a chaser on the house team, this year."
After explaining Quidditich to her parents, Hermione fell asleep in the back seat. "Oh my gosh!" Mrs. Granger exclaimed looking back at her daughter.
"What is it, dear?" Mr. Granger asked.
"Her hand, there's a ring on her ring finger."
"So?"
"It looks to be an engagement ring!"
"An engagement ring, has she been dating anyone?" Mr. Granger asked.
"She hasn't said anything in her letters."
"Then we'll have to ask her when we get home, we're almost there." ~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Hermione, dear we're home," Mrs. Granger said as she shook her daughter awake.
"Hmm," she said as her eyelids fluttered open.
"Come inside dear, we need to ask you something," Mr. Granger said.
The parents and daughter went inside and sat in the living room.
"Hermione, is there something your not telling us about, or someone?" Her mother asked.
"What do you mean?" Hermione asked back.
Then her Dad bluntly asked, "The ring, are you seeimg someone?"
"Yes, I'm engaged."
"To who?" "How long?" Both parents asked at the same time.
"We've been together since Christmas, he asked me a few days ago, I accepcted, I love him, you will find out who he is Thursday, alright?"
"How long have you known him?"
"Since first year."
"Have we ever met or seen him?"
"Yes, you've met him."
"Why won't you tell us who he is?"
"You will find out on Thursday, he's coming for dinner."
"Have you met his parents, do they approve?"
"Yes, his guardian loves it."
"Guardian?"
"His parents are deceased, can I please go to my room, it's been a long day?"
"Yes, Good night, Hermione," Her parents called.
"Good night, Mum, Dad," she called back.
"I can't believe our little girls engaged, she's not even eighteen yet."
"I know, but I wonder who this boy is?"
"So, do I, and didn't that last guy she date play Quidditich, too?"
"Yes, I think so."
"This boy, better be a gentleman."
"Now, now dear, don't be too hard on him, we haven't even met yet, he could be someone like her friend , Harry."
"He's a gentlemen."
"Yes, such a sweet boy."
