As soon as she did, the aroma of roses overwhelmed her. She peered into the living room and saw that every possible surface was covered with lights.

She walked over to the end table where she kept her keys and saw that the lights were all fairies. She bent down to peer into the face of the one perched on the edge of the table, and it was smiling.

"What are you doing here?" she asked it. The fairy smiled at her and pointed at an object floating in the middle of the room. It started chattering excitedly.

Hermione walked over to the object. It was a heart shaped box, about the size of an average muggle chocolate box. Hermione peeled the top off and inside, instead of chocolate was a note.

Hello Beautiful,
Do you really need chocolate? I personally believe that you are sweet
enough. Happy Valentines Day!
D.

Hermione reached towards the box, to see if there was anything else inside, but before she could reach it, it turned into a rose and drifted away from her, towards the bedroom.

"So you want me to follow you, do you?" Hermione asked out loud. No one answered and she followed it.

It stopped in front of her bedroom door and burst into flames. Hermione looked around uncertainly. She knocked, feeling a bit silly to be knocking on the door to her own bedroom. No one answered, so she tentatively opened the door. The smell of roses almost knocked her over.

Inside, every conceivable surface was covered with roses and rose petals. The floor, the ceiling, all of the furniture except the bed was covered with red roses, pink roses, purple roses, and gold roses.

Hermione chuckled to herself as she saw a cluster of green roses on the book shelf in the shape of a heart. "That's the Slytherin in him," she muttered. She walked over to the bed and saw a black velvet box sitting on the rose petals.

She opened it breathlessly and found it to be empty.

"You have to say yes first," a voice said from the doorway. Hermione wheeled around and saw Draco Malfoy casually standing there, leaning against the door frame, and twirling a gold ring in his fingers, a grin etched on his face. He walked over to her trembling form.

"Say yes to what exactly?" she asked in a shaky voice.

"Leave it to you to ask me to spell everything out." Draco got down on one knee. "Hermione, I love you. Even when we were younger and I made fun of your teeth and your hair," Hermione scowled at that, "I was smitten with you. You were the only person in all of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry who could keep up a decent banter with me. I finally realized how special you are in our sixth year, and I acted on that. I don't know what I would do if I lost you. Hermione Jane Granger, will you do me the honor of becoming my wife? Will you marry me?"
