Chapter 14: The Riddle

It was June 17th, six years later. Hermione was now 23, as was Draco. They were celebrating the day when Hermione found Draco in Swanton. Now in New York City, Draco was trying to make the day extra special for her and now they were in Central Park after a carriage ride. They had been talking for a bit when Draco said he had a surprise for her.

"Oh, and what would that be?"

He pulled a small piece of paper from his pocket and handed it to her.

"What's this?" She said, looking at him.

"A riddle." He said grinning, cause he knew how she loved riddles.

"Oh, I love riddles!" Hermione said excitedly and began to read.

Closer than close

Yet still so far

A silver ring,

An emerald isle

He asked for her hand,

And they danced into eternity

She stared idly at the paper, biting her lower lip, thinking deeply. Suddenly, her face lit up.

"I've got it! A marriage, no – an engagement!"

She looked up to find Draco oh-so-close. He kissed the tip of her nose, and leaned back. Getting on one knee while pulling a small box from his pocket, she just sat gaping at him.

"Will you dance into eternity with me?"

"OF COURSE I WILL! Yes, yes, yes!"

She launched herself from the bench and into his arms. Draco, being unprepared, fell back laughing. So they lay on the grass for a moment, earning some weird looks while they were at it.

"I love you."

"Of course you do, I'm Draco Malfoy."

She laughed. "Oh, yes of course. No one can resist you."

"That's right. But its okay, cause I love you too."

"Of course you do, I'm Hermione Granger."

They both had to laugh at that. Draco stood up, pulling Hermione up to a kiss. Pulling away almost three minutes later, he asked her a very important question.

"Would you like the ring now?"

"Oh, yes!" She giggled, unable to keep her happiness in.

He took the ring out and slid it on her finger. It was a simple silver band, inlaid with five small diamonds.

"Oh, Draco. It's Perfect!"

"You haven't even seen all of it! Look on the inside."

She glanced at him curiously, but did as she was told. She could barely make out the engraved words, as they were so small.

'I hereby declare my undying love for you'

Hermione laughed and put it back on, then smiled brilliantly at him.

"So, it won't die tomorrow?"

"Definently not."

"Good."

He kissed her again, this one passionately slow, full of love.

'Oh, no. It won't ever die.'


Well? How was the end? Did you like it? I did. I always wanted it to end this way, and now it has. That's it! I'm done! Wow. This is the first story I've finished in a really long time. I feel so happy with myself! I hope you enjoyed reading it and aren't too sad it's over.
You should be seeing me soon though. I've already cooked up another plot for Hermione and Draco, so watch for me, k? I'll miss you all! Now it's time for THANK YOUS!
