A/N: Thanks for the reviews guys! I love reading them! I am so glad all of you like my stories. This is the last chapter...I hope to start a new story eventually, but I have no idea what to write about, any suggestions? I would like to do something with the "characters" from this and Back at Hogwart's. Let me know what you would like to read.

And I had a reviewer ask me about the whole "cycle" thing, I meant she didn't miss her period, meaning, she didn't miss the cramps, the bloating, the headaches, so one. As I have said before, I have a few friends that have children. After you have a baby, you may not get your period again for a few months after you give birth.

Alright, enough with the science lesson. Enjoy the 10th and final chapter.

Chapter 10: Happy Birthday, Hermione

"Ron I am so glad you could make it," said Hermione as she embraced her friend. She turned to Ron's guest and put out her hand, "Hi, I'm Hermione Malfoy, good to meet you."

Ron's guest smiled and took Hermione's hand, "Glad to meet you," she responded with a strong American accent.

"Draco, Hermione, this is Elizabeth," said Ron as he wrapped his arm around the girl's waist.

"You can call me Liz," she responded as she shook Draco's hand.

"Well Liz, welcome to England! You two are just in time, dinner is being served as we speak."

(48 hours earlier)

Ron stood in front of the flat in downtown London and knocked on the door. He was nervous, excited, scared and wasn't quite sure what he was going to say to Luna.

The door opened, "Ron, good seeing you, come in."

Ron walked through the doorway and into the flat, "Thanks Neville, is Luna here?"

"Not right now, should be in a bit. Can I get you something to drink?" asked Neville.

"No thanks, I am fine. So, how are things?" Ron asked. He noticed the photos spread around the room, "When did you two go to Venice?"

"Oh, right after the wedding for our Honeymoon," answered Neville nervously, "Have a seat."

Ron remembered the owl he had received from Luna nine months before;

Ronald Weasley,

Neville and I are married. I couldn't wait for you forever. Don't be mad at him, he has always loved me and I see I love him as well. It just took you to make me see it. Have a good life.

Luna Longbottom

"Ron? Hello?" Neville waved a hand in front of Ron, "You alright mate?"

Ron shook his head, "Yes, fine."

The two men sat in silence for around ten minutes. To both of them, if felt like hours. Finally, the turning of the door knob brought them to attention.

"Ron, past the salt, mate?" asked Harry.

Ron shook to attention, "Right, here you go."

"Penny for your thoughts?" he asked as he took a bite of potatoes.

Ron glanced over to Liz, who was in heavy conversation with Oliver and Rosa, "Just thinking, you know about.."

"Neville and Luna? Strange, huh?" Harry began to whisper, "Turns out, Neville found out about what happened the night of the wedding from Fred," Ron scowled towards his brother, "Neville showed up the next day and spent a lot of time with her."

"My loss, mate. So what do you think of Liz?" Ron asked in a whisper.

"She great Ron, real sweet. Very pretty."

"I thought so too. You know, she is the only person that has ever beaten me at wizard's chest? I knew from there on, she was something to give my full attention to."

Harry smiled at his friend and patted his back, "I'm happy for ya mate, I really am."

"Thanks Harry."

A clinking of glass was heard at the end of the table. Draco stood from his chair next to Hermione and spoke once the talking died down, "To my wife's dismay," he winked down at Hermione, "I would like to make a speech. First off, I would like to thank all of you for coming and joining in the celebration of Hermione's birthday. The glow on her face is what I have come to know as her happiness to be with loved ones. Hermione, as all of you know, is the most strong-willed, independent and open-minded person anyone could meet. Most of our school years together were spent despising and loathing the other. Who would have thought, she would become the love of my life. She is the mother of my child and she is my rock.

"I wish I could thank the people that brought her into the world in person. Unfortunately, events of the Great War have taken them from this world. I know they are with us in spirit, and I would like to think that they are standing here beside Hermione, watching over our family and friends. So, if we will all raise a glass," everyone at the table lifted there glasses, "To Hermione," Draco looked down at his wife who had tears in her eyes, "I love you Hermione, Happy Birthday."

"TO HERMIONE!"
