UThis is a work in progress!/UBR

Please send me reviews so I know what to change and how to change it!HR"Come on, Hermione! It's time to go to Hogsmede!" Harry yelled up the stairs to the girl's dormitories.BRBR

Hermione came running down and said, "I have to do something before we go to Hogsmede so just go ahead and I'll meet you at the Three Broomsticks in an hour," Hermione said.BRBR

"Um...okay...Three Broomsticks in an hour then," Harry said uncertainly.BRBR

"Okay, great. See you later,"BRBR

"What's with her these days?" Harry asked Ron. BRBR

"Trust me, I wish I knew," Ron said grinning.BRBR

"Oh well...might as well go do "guy stuff" while she' not here," BRBR

"Sure, where to?"BRBR

"How about the Quidditch Equipment Store? They should have the book I'm looking for and you can get your gloves.BRBR

"Sure, sounds like a plan,"BRBR

B-One hour later-/BBRBR

"I wonder what she had to do," said Harry.BRBR

"Yeah...she's been acting weird all week. I guess we'll see what's..." Ron's jaw dropped to the floor.BRBR

Hermione had just walked in wearing Muggle Clothes and she had cut her usually waist long hair to just above her shoulders.BRBR

"HERMIONE!" Harry exclaimed when he noticed Hermione.BRBR

"Hey," Hermione said sitting down next to Ron,"Do you like it?"BRBR

"It's...different," Harry said, wide-eyed.BRBR

"It's the strangest thing. I was looking for my blue and white sweater and I couldn't find it ianywhere/i. Have one of you seen it?"BRBR

"Oh, right. You left it in the Room of Requirement that night. It's back in my room, just remind me and I'll grab it for you when we get back," Ron said.BRBR

"Oh, good. That's my favourite sweater,"BRBR

"Hermione, what's gotten into you?" asked Ron.BRBR

"Nothing, I've just learned to Irelax/i,"BRBR

"Is something wrong?"BRBR

"Nothing at a...."BRBR

"Um...sorry to interrupted but look who it is," Harry said pointing at the door, "Our "favourite" person in the world,"BRBR

Indeed, Draco Malfoy had walked into the Three Broomsticks.BRBR

"Well, well well...if it isn't Weasel, Potter, and Little Ms.Know-it-all-Mudblood. Have a good break?"BRBR

Crabb and Goyle, Malfoy's goons, started gawffing.BRBR

"Watch your mouth, iMalfoy/I," said Ron in a tense voice.BRBR

"Ooo, The little Weasel's going to be a big hero, is he?"BRBR

"That's it!" Ron said walking over, "Do you Ireally/i want to start something, Malfoy? I'm right here,"BRBR

Ron stood there, towering over Malfoy. Malfoy gave a weak smile and said, "I don't have time to waste on you three, especially that iMudblood/i,"BRBR

Ron went crimson and punched Malfoy.BRBR

"You bloody idiot! You broke my nose!" said Draco, blood gushing into his hands.BRBR

"Good," Ron said viciously and walk out.HRI"That stupid prat,"/I Ron thought angrily, kicking some grass, I"How can she stand something like that from that stupid PRAT?"/iBRBR

Ron sat down by the pond and hugged his knees. He loved Hermione but he didn't know how much more of her toying around he could take.BRBR

Hermione went after Ron and found him sitting by the pond.BRBR

I"He looks so cute just sitting there,"/I she thought, I"I hate to disturb him but I uhave/u to talk to him, sooner or later...well, I choose sooner,"/iBRBR

"Ron?" Hermione said gently tapping Ron's arm.BRBR

"Oh, hey Hermione," Ron said looking up then looking into the center of the pond.BRBR

"Ron, we really need to talk,"BRBR

"Oh? What about?" Ron said sarcastically.BRBR

"Oh, Ron. Please don't be like that,"BRBR

"I'm sorry Hermione. Okay, lets talk,"BRBR

Over the 3 and a half hours that they talked, Hermione revealed many things to Ron that she hadn't told anyone. They both confided in each other, wholly and completely. BRBR

"I've been second in everything. In my family, in Quidditch, in classes...I just didn't want to be second with you," Ron said with tears in his eyes, "I guess that's why I was so jealous of Krum,"BRBR

"Oh, you stupid fool. You'll never be second with me. Can't you see? I only have eyes for you,"BRBR

"Really?" Ron asked meekly.BRBR

"Absolutely," Hermione said with a grin, wiping away her own tears.HROver the next few days, weeks, months, and years Hermione and Ron worked on their relationship and they grew closer every day. One day...BRBR

"Hermione...it's been four years since we officially started dating and it's been the best four years of my life. I knew from the day that we revealed our true feelings, you were the only one for me and that one day I would be saying these words to you. Hermione, would you do me the honour and make the the happiest man in the world and be my wife?" Ron said getting down on one knee and producing a ruby engagement ring.BRBR

"Oh, RON! It's stunning! Of course!" Hermione said, with a big grin.BRBR

"I love you, Hermione," Ron said with misty eyes.BRBR

"Oh, Ron...I love you more than you'll ever know. You've made me so happy! I can't wait to tell the family! I know they'll be thrilled!"BRBR

"I can't wait to spend the rest of my life with you...have kids...grow old...have grandkids..."BRBR

"It sounds devine..." Hermione said smiling, "So, when do you think we should tell them?"BRBR

"As soon a possible! I want to tell the whole iworld/i that I love you! Ron said.BRBR

"Let's go now! Please, I ican't/i keep this a secret!"BRBR

"Okay," Ron said grinning, "Harry's staying with us at the Burrow we can tell then all today!"BRBR

"Oh Ron," Hermione sighed, "This just ifeels/i right,"BRBR

"I know iexactly/i what you mean," Ron said putting an arm around Hermione.BRBR

"Come on! Grab your coat...let's go see them. I want to tell Ginny and ask her to be my Matron of Honour!" said Hermione excitedly.BRBR

"Okay, I want to ask Harry to be my best man." Ron agreed, getting up and walking over to the fireplace, "Thanks for everything, Tom...have a great night,"BRBR

Tom, the Leaky Cauldron's innkeeper, grunted a farewell and Ron grabbed some Floo Powder, threw it into the fire and yelled in a clear, distinct voice "The Burrow!"BRBR

"Thanks for the great dinner, Tom," Hermione said as she grabbed some Floo Powder and followed after Ron.HR"Are you ready for this?" asked Ron.BRBR

"Absolutely," Hermione said in a calm and confident voice.BRBR

"Okay...here it goes..."HRH
