Hermione was comfortable. She hadn't opened her eyes, but she was happy. It was dark, she could tell, but she was happy so she didn't care. She slowly opened her eyes, only to find herself wrapped up in someone's arms. Ron's. She smiled as she unwound herself from his grasp. She changed out of her pjs and carefully tiptoed out of the room.

LAST NIGHT

"Hermione, Mione, hey, wake up," Ron called softly. He was standing above her bed in a white shirt and grey sweatpants.

Hermione stirred and opened her eyes. "What's wrong?" she asked as she sat up.

Ron blushed, "I can't sleep."

Hermione was too tired to tell him to take a sleeping pill so she motioned for him to get in. He did, and she laid down and fell back asleep.

Ron just watched her sleep. Truth be told he was dead exhausted, but he wanted to be close to her. When they were at Hogwarts, Ron used to sneak into the Head Girl's suite and cuddle up with her. Now, they were adults and they had a kid, but Ron just wanted to be near her. Little did he know, Hermione was dreaming about their past, just like he was thinking about it.

FLASHBACK

"Ron, give it back!" Hermione yelled as she chased Ron across the Hogwart's grounds. He was running with her Charms book, but he stopped as he reached the edge of the lake. Hermione, however, didn't notice until she had collided with him. On instinct, Ron dropped the book and grabbed Hermione's waist, dragging her down into the water with him. Somehow, Hermione ended up sitting in the water, and Ron was standing above her, laughing. "Ron, this isn't funny!"

"Sorry, you just look funny," he apologized. He offered her his hand, and she took it, only to pull him into the water with her.

She laughed. "Sorry, you just look funny," she mocked as she got up and out of the lake. She sat down and watched as Ron clamored out and sat next to her. Their eyes locked, and Ron leaned forward, only to brush a stray hair lock out of her face.

He frowned when he noticed her shoulders drop, "What's wrong?"

"Nothing," she responded. She expected him to kiss her, she wanted him to kiss her.

Ron leaned over and whispered, "I don't believe you," in her ear. His breath tickled her and gave her goose bumps.

She turned to face him, and looked into his eyes, when the first drop of rain landed on her nose. She looked up and the rain continued to pour on them. She shivered involuntarily.

"Scared of a little rain?" he teased. She stood up and began to run to the castle when she felt someone pull her. Ron had pulled her to his chest and covered them with his cloak. He leaned down and kissed her gently on the lips. "I've been wanting to do that since second year," he admitted, blushing and smiling insanely.

With newfound courage, Hermione grabbed his head and pressed her lips to his. He wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her even closer (not that it was possible or anything.)

END OF FLASHBACK

Hermione tiptoed down the stairs, surprised to find Kylier in the kitchen. She was sitting at the table, downing her Diet Coke. "Hi," Hermione whispered.

"Hey, come sit with me," Kylier replied.

"Why you sittin' in the dark, all alone at that?" Hermione asked as she sat across from her.

"Thinkin' bout yo boyfriend," Ky answered.

Hermione narrowed her eyes. "Why?"

Ky shrugged, "Dear, we lived together for two and a half years. He was the one I complained about my crappy ass ex-boyfriends to, he insulted my hair and had to deal with my inability to cook. He was like a brother to me, I missed him when I got reassigned." She sighed. "Believe it or not, he was the easiest charge I had. He never fought me when it came to his safety. I told him to hide, he would, I'd tell him to run, he would. My current charge acts like I'm stupid or something. He's a jackass." Ky ran a hand through her thick brown hair and smiled. "He talked about you, what he wanted to do when he got out. Did you know that?"

"No, but I have a question. How come you didn't recognize him?"

"As a watcher, I was only given his assumed name, who wanted him dead and brief description of the place we'd be living. When we lived together, he had brown hair and hazel eyes. He looked a lot different," she paused, "did he propose to you?"

"No, but he gave me a promise ring," Hermione responded.

FLASHBACK

"C'mon," Ron urged as he pulled Hermione through the trapdoor into the Astronomy tower.

Hermione gasped when she saw gazebo like room which was at the top of the tallest tower in Hogwarts. Candles lined the outside of the circular room and the arches were adorned in sheer white silk tapestries. The openness of the room allowed them to see the stars, and Ron enchanted the ceiling so it was invisible. They had a majestic view of the entire grounds. Ron took her hand and led her to the center of the room. He placed his hand on her hip and took the other and they began to dance.

"What do you think?" he murmured into her ear.

"It's beautiful," she told him. She moved closer to him, surprised at what a good dancer he was. They danced for a while, no music, with just the sound of cool fall breeze rustling through the trees below them in the background.

"Cold?" he asked. She didn't realize she was shivering. He took off his jacket and draped it over her shoulders. He took out his wand and a blanket appeared underneath of them. They both laid down to look at the stars. After a long, comfortable silence, Ron propped himself up on his elbow and looked at her. "I love you, and I'm ready to spend the rest of my life with you. This is something I've wanted to give you for a long time" he paused as he took a promise ring out of his pocket. It had a small platinum band with a heart-shaped ruby surrounded by tiny diamonds, "I want to marry you."

Hermione was speechless. She watched as he slipped the ring onto her finger. She was more in love with him at this very moment than she ever had been. Happy tears sprang to her eyes as he waited for her reaction. She grabbed his shirt collar and pulled his head towards her. They kissed for a long time before she took his hand and led him to her suite.

END FLASHBACK

Ky and Hermione sat in a comfortable silence, just looking at random things in the kitchen. Suddenly, Ky's cell phone rang, and she answered it, worry etched on her face. "Fuck," she whispered. She stood up, "Tell George my charge is in trouble, and I'll be back in a while," she said. She apparated out, leaving Hermione to her thoughts.

Was Ron going to propose? I want to be with him, but it's been twelve years, what if he doesn't love me anymore?

"Hey, sorry about last night," she turned to see Ron standing in the doorway. He sat across from her. "It's just, you always knew how to cure my insomnia during school, and you still can."

Hermione blushed, recalling how wonderful it was to be in his arms again. He took her hand, and they sat in silence, their eyes locked.

They heard a crash in the living room, and Ky came in. "My charge, he's hurt, I need your help," she panted before disappearing. They followed her to see a man lying in the middle of the floor. It turned out, he was none other than...
