Hi guys and gals! I thank you all so much for your wonderful reviews. I was so scared during hurricane Charley. Everything around my house was a complete mess. A tree fell on my neighbor's house. And now I don't have school until Wednesday, which is a bad thing, mostly not a good thing a little hard to explain. I don't own anything.
Finally the big day had arrived. Harry had woken up early due to his extremely nervous condition. He dressed Annie and had fed her some baby cereal and was on his way to drop her off in the Hufflepuff common room.
"Oh hi dad. What are you doing here so early?" asked Caden. It was Saturday so he spent the whole night trying to study for a test.
"I want you to watch Annabelle for me today. It's very important, what I do today could change our lives in a second, so please take good care of her." Said Harry, handing his daughter over.
Harry walked quickly out of the room and towards the ROR. Standing there waiting for him were twelve house elves and Odet. Her hand was resting on her balloon sized stomach.
"Hey Harry. I already know what I have to do. Ron said he was going to meet Hermione and I at the Three Broomsticks when he gets off of work. So when do you want all three of us to meet you here?" asked Odet walking into the room with Harry.
"How about when dinner starts. That way it will all fit into place. Here is some money to buy whatever she wants. But don't let her thoughts wander to what I'm doing and where I am. This is going to be the most special event of her life." Said Harry, running his fingers through his hair frantically.
"Are you sure about that. I'm sure that your wedding night will be 50 times more special. But I get your point. I think she's so lucky to have a guy like you." Said Odet, putting the money into her purse and walking out of the room.
(Hufflepuff Common Room)
"Why is Annie here?" asked Marco, coming down the stairs.
"Dad said to watch her and that this day was going to change our lives forever. What do you think he's up to?" said Caden, putting down his sister.
"Maybe you're getting closer to having a mum as we speak. I mean, have you seen the way they act around each other, or the way she talks about him. They are so totally in love, even a blind guy could see it." Said Tina, tying back her hair.
"I guess you're right. I hope so, I really like Hermione, she's really nice and dad really likes her." Said Caden.
(Hermione's room)
"Happy birthday Hermione! How old are you today?" asked Odet, walking in.
"Thank you. I just turned 29." Said Hermione, brushing her hair.
"I've come to take you shopping. We're going to spend the whole day shopping, doesn't that sound like a good idea. Yes it does." Said Odet, going into Hermione's closet.
"What are you looking for?" asked Hermione walking up beside her.
"Something for you to put on. How about these blue sport pants, this tube top and these tennis shoes. Very comfortable I think." Said Odet, sitting down on the couch.
"Are you serious?"
"Get going. We have an appointment at the spa in 20 minuets."
Hermione quickly took a shower and got dressed. She had on her outfit and tied her hair back in a clip and she had on clear lip-gloss.
They walked down to the Great Hall to grab an apple or an orange and started off towards Hogsmeade. It had changed a lot since Hermione was a student. It was more Muggle like now. They went into a spa called: 'Whispers of the Wind'. It was very relaxing.
"We have a reservation under the name Weasley." Said Odet, putting hair behind her ear.
"Oh yes. I see your name right there. Come this way please." Said a lady in a long skirt and a tank top.
They were lead to this room with robes, hair bands, and slippers.
"At Whispers of the Wind we would like you to feel comfortable so please change into these robes and accessories. And then please enjoy your stay, here are your schedules." Said the lady and she quietly walked out.
"Thank you so much for this. How am I ever going to repay you?" said Hermione taking off everthing but her bra and underwear.
"When you and Harry get married, let me be the maid of honor." Said Odet, smiling.
"Of course I will. If we ever last that long , I feel like Harry's avoiding me or something. Like I'm not that special to him anymore." Said Hermione, putting on the last touches.
"Don't worry I'm sure you will. I can tell that he loves you a lot. And I know you love him, so what's going to keep you two apart. What do you have next?" said Odet, putting her stuff and Hermione's into a locker.
"I've got facials and nail care. You?" said Hermione, checking her list.
"I've got massages. I can't wait, even though my baby isn't that big, my back already hurts." Said Odet, as they walked out.
(Harry and the elves)
"Ok, all male elves, I want you to be the ones who do the cooking. Here is everything that she likes and there are some other things. All female elves, will be decorating. First task is to make is room look romantic, the kind of setting that would make any girl seem as though this wasn't real." Said Harry, walking around.
"Yes sir Harry Potter." Said the elves and they went to work.
(Hermione's room)
"Ok miss Granger. What colors do you want for your nails?" asked a lady with bubble gum pink hair.
"Can I just have French manicure and pedicure?" asked Hermione sitting down.
"Of course if that's what you want. And this is Helena, she'll be doing your face." Said the witch.
Hermione sat down while one lady was poking and scratching her and the other lady was putting base cream and then a mud mask.
(Odet's room)
"Mrs. Weasley correct? Since you're pregnant and all of your stress goes to your neck and lower back, that is were we shall begin." Said a witch named Betty.
Betty poured vanilla oil on those spots and began to rub in those spots. Odet was enjoying her self very much.
"Can you get my legs too? Those have also been giving me a lot of pain." Odet stated.
Before long both girls were meeting in a yoga class.
"Hi Hermione. How were your rooms so far?" asked Odet, sitting down on her blue mat.
"They were perfect, look I got my nails done. And after this I get to have a massage." Said Hermione also sitting.
"The massage is great. After this is my nail and face care." Said Odet, smiling at Hermione.
A lady walked into the room with some sweat pants and a tight yellow shirt. She also had small cymbals attached to her fingers.
"Good morning and welcome to my relaxation yoga class. First we shall stretch to get rid of all kinks in our body and our spirits. (ding, went the cymbals. Like on That's so Raven)
Five minuets later
"Ok, now for our first position called the dog pose. Stand up and then create an upside-down 'v' shape with your body, don't bend your knees. Now hold it for a moment. (ding)"
"From that position go down slowly to the fetus position. Now bring you legs out and go into the cobra pose. Now relax, let all of your tension just float away. (ding)"
Finally class was over. Hermione was drinking a bottle of water that she had just bought, because that class really wore her out.
"That was great. Although I don' t think I'm going to be doing that anytime soon. My baby enjoyed it, it was kicking during the entire thing." said Odet, rubbing her tummy.
Hermione handed her a bottle and then took a deep breath.
"I don't think I will either. Too much pain in the lower back. I've got to get going, I'll be seeing you in the sauna." Said Hermione, waving goodbye and walking off.
(Harry)
"This looks great girls. But I need the table to be right under the bunch of balloons. And the lighting has to be dimmer, but not by much." Said Harry, taking a sip of water.
"Yes sir." Winky said, moving the table over just a smidgen.
"And guys, how is the food coming along? It smells really great. I hope Hermione is having a good time, her fun has just begun." Said Harry, smiling.
(Spa)
"Hi Hermione. I don't think I can be in here. It's too hot and plus I'm not fat, I'm just pregnant, and you're not fat either, so do you want to go swimming instead?" asked Odet.
"I think I'd like that more." Said Hermione.
They changed into bathing suits that were provided and went for a swim. The pool was heated and there was soft music playing.
"What do you have after this?" asked Hermione.
"I think I have meditation. And you?"
"Total relaxation. And then my last thing is hair." Said Hermione.
"Mine is too. Then we can go and get you some new clothes or something and lunch for me." Said Odet, smiling.
"Oh thank you Odet, you're such a good friend." Said Hermione hugging her.
They swam a bit more and then it was time for them to separate again.
"Miss Granger here is a heated gel mask. It has a soothing smell and it will relax all of your face muscles. So just relax and don't think about anything." Said a lady who got everything ready.
Hermione laid down and relaxed. She only thought about Harry and what he was doing. She loved him oh so very much. The music playing some how reminded her of him and how sweet he was. Odet was in meditation thinking of Ron who she was going to get to see in an hour.
Soon the girls met in the hair stylist room.
"Relaxation was the best by far. It was so soothing." Said Hermione.
"Meditation was something like that, but I had to sit up and hum." Said Odet when both stylist came up.
"Hello you must be Mrs. Weasley. Let us get started with your hair. First we wash, come with me." Said the guy.
"And you must be miss Granger. Let us go and wash and then we'll see what we can do with what we have." Said a younger guy with bright blue eyes.
Both men washed their hairs and then they went to separate chairs.
"Ok, so how about we give you nice bouncy curls, with highlights." Said Steven.
"What color?" asked Hermione.
"I was thinking a darker brown. Since your hair is already chestnut I was thinking Mahogany." Said Steven, getting out the dye.
Hermione nodded and closed her eyes during the process. After he applied the dye he rolled her hair in curlers and placed her under the dryer. Before long her hair was finished and it looked spectacular.
"Do you love it or what?" asked Steven, spraying in a super hold hair spray.
"I love it. Thank you so much." Said Hermione standing up to look in the mirror.
Steven smiled and walked away. Hermione went to find Odet and saw that her blue was gone and in place of the blue was now a hot red.
"Wow Hermione, you look great. What do you think of the new color?" said Odet, turning around.
"It's great. Thanks once again for bringing me here. It has been great fun. Let's go shopping." Said Hermione, taking Odet to the locker rooms to change back into their clothes. Then they went to this store on the corner called: Fantasia.
Hermione walked in and found a wonderful dress that was black velvet and the top part was black polyester and was dotted with little plastic diamonds. Hermione went to go and try it on.
"Hermione that dress is perfect. Now to find you some shoes." Said Odet while Hermione went to change back again.
Odet found some black faux-suede Mary Janes. When Hermione came out she was holding her dress the shoes and was now looking for some other things. She found 4 cute shirts that said: Angel, Scooby Doo who, I'm with you, Beautiful, and Sleep tight kitty cat. And she found four skirts and some cute underwear and bras. Odet paid for them and they walked over to find a place to eat.
"How about this place called Lightning. I hear they have really good pizza." Said Hermione, holding on to her bags.
"Sounds great."
The girls ate and then Odet suggested that they have a butterbeer in the Three Broomsticks. When they walked in Hermione spotted Ron and ran over to him.
"Ron. Oh I've missed you so much!" exclaimed Hermione giving him a big hug.
"You haven't changed a bit. I've missed you too." Said Ron looking his friend over.
"Hi baby. I missed you too." Said Odet, kissing Ron.
"Hi sweetheart. How's the baby doing?" asked Ron, leading them to their table.
"It's been doing just fine. I can't wait to find out what it is, it's killing me having to call my child an it." Said Odet, taking a sip of butterbeer.
"I know what you mean. Hermione, I hear that you and Harry are an item now or something." Said Ron.
"Yeah. He invited me to his house for the winter holidays and that's when we became a couple. He has the two sweetest children in the world. Annabelle is so darling and Caden he's great. Although I don't see how he's in Hufflepuff, he acts more like Harry than anything." Said Hermione, smiling.
"Yeah, I've met him before. When he was just a tiny baby, Harry invited me over and I got a look at him." said Ron, taking Odet's hand.
"So Ron what kind of work do you do now?" asked Hermione.
"I work as a quidditch game commentary. The job pays well and I get to see the game for free." Said Ron, smiling happily.
"How did you become a teacher? I thought that you would become a scientist and have many awards and such." Said Ron.
"Well when I heard that Harry's wife died and they needed a new teacher at the school I thought, why not. It would give me the chance to be with Harry and it's gotten me this far. "Hermione said.
"Is there a miss Hermione Granger sitting at this table?" asked Madame Rosemerta.
"I'm her." Said Hermione.
"Well this letter just came for you."
Hermione opened it and this is what it said.
'Hermione, You mean more to me than a human needs to breathe. You mean more to me than honey does bees in trees. I know this kind of sounds stupid but this is my way of showing how much you really mean to me. Spend dinner tonight with me in the room of requirements and bring your heart. Yours forever, Harry.'
"Well who is it from?" asked Odet.
"It's from Harry. He's so sweet. He wants to have dinner with me tonight. Oh my gosh, that's in 2 hours, I better get going. Thank you both for spending time with me on my birthday. See you both later." Said Hermione, running out of the shop.
"I know for a fact that she's going to say yes to his proposal don't you?" asked Odet.
"I have a feeling too. If they don't get married then they're both crazies. I love you darling." Said Ron going across the table to kiss his two month pregnant wife.
"I love you too. Want to go on a walk with me?" asked Odet.
Ron took her hand they set off for a walk.
(Hermione)
"I'm going to loose my mind. First I have to take a nice bath and then I have to put on my dress and redo my hair and put on make-up brush my teeth and so many other things." Said Hermione, filling a bath with warm water and blue bubbles.
(Harry)
'I hope she's as excited as I am. I love her so much, I know that I'm doing the right thing. Well Caden, looks like you're getting your wish.' Harry said to himself while in the shower.
Hermione got out of the bath dried off put lotion on and then put on one of her new black lace thongs and a black lace no strap push up bra. Then she on some black tights and her shoes. Then she had to brush her teeth and gargle. First with her make-up she put on a light bit of foundation and then black eyeliner. She chose silver eye shadow and pink blush. And for her lips she had red no smear wet shine lipstick. Finally Hermione was dressed.
She walked down the hall way until she found a big red door. She stepped inside to find Harry sitting down holding a long steamed red rose.
"Happy birthday and Happy Valentines day. Did you have a great day?" said Harry, handing her the flower.
"Yes I did. When did you have time for all of this?" asked Hermione looking around.
"All of those days that I said I had something important to do, well this is it. I wanted tonight to be perfect for the both of us." Said Harry.
"And I really like the note that you sent me. Did you know that Ron's here?" said Hermione.
"Ron was here to distract you while I did this for you. And Odet too, although it was her that took you to the spa today, I paid for your shopping. By the way, you look stunning in that dress." Said Harry, smiling brightly at Hermione.
"Thank you. I had a feeling that you'd like it. Do you want to dance with me?" asked Hermione.
Harry took her hand and they began to dance to the soft music filling the small room. While they were dancing Harry leaned down and kissed her passionately. Hermione held him there while his tongue went exploring in her mouth. She let out a soft moan. Harry's hands slid down to her bottom and gave it a little squeeze.
"I love it when you do that." Said Hermione, when they pulled apart.
"This is the first time I've done it."
"I know. Which means you should do it more often." Said Hermione, smiling.
Harry smiled too and lead her over to the small table and pushed in her chair. They ate and talked about stuff that they needed to catch up on and what not. When dinner was over Harry turned to Hermione and took her hand.
"Hermione I know we've been going out for only two months, but I've known you a lot longer. I just wanted to tell you that being with you has made the children and me a lot happier. Annabelle likes you and I just know that Caden does. I love you so much, and I was worried about that for a while until I got the chance to talk to Alyssa again. And she told me that she wanted me to be with you, she said that she had sent you to me. Now I know that it's safe to say I love you with all of my heart and it would give me great pleasure if you would marry me. Please say yes." Stated Harry, taking out the ring that Hermione had picked out.
Hermione was in tears, she didn't know what to say at first.
"I love you too, so much. I will marry you! I will I will!" said Hermione as Harry placed the ring on her finger and pulled her into his lap.
Hermione gave him a kiss and snuggled up close to him. She was finally with the man of her dreams.
