Ron paced nervously around the Gryffindor common room in his midnight blue dress robes, today was Hermione's birthday and he had something extremely special to give to her.

"Ok Ron, calm down, don't be so nervous, loosen up a little bit." Harry said to him while patting him on his back.

"But what if I do something wrong Harry? What if I completely mess up every little thing and she--" Ron stopped talking when he saw Hermione come out of her room with Ginny behind beaming happily.

Hermione was a breathtaking sight. She had let her hair down, which was usually pulled up into a tight bun down, and her hair was cascading down her back in soft brown waves. Her dress robe was a beautiful light, pale, pink that hugged her every curve. A set of pink earring studs, and pink gemstone necklace finished the outfit off.

Ron swallowed down, and before anyone really noticed what was happening, he had gotten down on one knee and was kneeling in front of Hermione. "I was planning on doing this after we had dinner, but I couldn't wait any longer Hermione. This year, for your birthday I want to give myself to you." He reached into his pocket and pulled out a ring with a teardrop center stone diamond and two ruby side stones. "Will you marry me Hermione?"

"Yes, of course I will Ron!" Hermione said while crying happily.

Ron looked positively ecstatic and after he slid the ring onto Hermione's finger he spun her around with Hermione laughing gleefully.

Behind them, Harry and Ginny smiled at the couple happily.

Ron absent mindedly stared through the window as the carriage trudged slowly through the streets of Diagon Alley. He was bored, and his mind was elsewhere. 'This doesn't really feel that right….am I sure that I really want to be married to Lavender?' He shook his head quickly, he would be married in less than half an hour and now was not the time to be having serious doubts. He glanced out the window again, but this time he was actually seeing and not just zoning out. A flash of brown hair and soft brown eyes caught onto his attention. He blinked his eyes quickly, 'No, can't be Hermione…can't be her…' He looked again….it really was her…. All thoughts of his wedding immediately disappeared as he thought about Hermione. He could recognize her face anywhere, sure it had been many years, but she looked exactly the same, and he couldn't pass up on any chance to find Hermione!

"Stop the carriage right now!" Ron screamed.

"Ron, what are you doing right now? Why are you telling--Ron! Ron! Where are you going Ron?!" Harry yelled as Ron swiftly jumped out of the carriage and ran through the streets. Shaking his head in disbelief and wonder, he jumped out of the carriage after Ron before quickly telling Mrs. Weasley to head onto the church first.

Ron ran through the streets quickly, trailing after the girl that he presumed was Hermione. "HERMIONE!!! Don't run away from me! PLEASE!" But instead the girl ran on, even faster than before. Fortunately for Ron though, he was extremely athletic, and in a matter of seconds he had caught up with the girl. He grabbed her wrist firmly, but yet gently.

"Why are you trying to run away from me Hermione?"

"I'm not Hermione, I don't know what you're talking about," the girl said while trying to avoid Ron's eyes, yet unable to stop the tears from rolling down her cheeks.

"Why'd you leave me in the first place Hermione?" Ron went on as though he hadn't heard her.

It was all too much for her…. "I'm sorry Ron….I--I--I" She threw her arms around Ron, unable to hide her true feelings anymore as she sobbed into his shoulder.

Ron too, felt the tears coming down his cheeks. "Where were you all of these years Hermione? Where were you???" But Hermione didn't seem to want to answer him, she only shook her head, while continuing to cry.
