Chapter 5
She dreamed that night, but even her dream was a memory. She no longer dreamed of new things, of future things. No, she dreamed of the past, reliving the old.
dream
Ron was pacing the floor in his flat. His hand fingering the tiny ring in his pocket. "Bloody hell, 'Mione. What is taking so bloody long?"
"Ron, honestly, you are the one who told me to look my best. And watch your language while you're at it."
At the sound of her voice Ron looked up and saw what he was certain was the most beautiful creature to ever live. There stood Hermione in a pale blue dress, her hair pulled up in a delicate manner with a few whispy strands framing her face. He saw she was struggling to fasten her necklace.
"Here let me help you with that." He took the few short steps needed and took the necklace in his hands. His fingers brushed against her skin and sent chills through her body. After he had fastened the clasp of the necklace he leaned forward and kissed the place his fingers had just been. He slipped his arms around her waist pulling her against him. He rested his head lightly on her shoulder, "I love you so much Hermione."
"And I you."
"Well shall we?"
"Lead on."
After a wonderful canlde lit dinner, they talked abut the furture and their dreams. Finally at 11:50 Ron asked if she was ready for their walk.
"Of course I am. Well let's go then."
"Wait, tonights walk is a surprise I need you to apparate to right outside The Three Broomsticks in Hogsmeade."
"Oh, ok" replied Hermione a bit confused.
With a nod and a crack they diapperated and then appeared in front of The Three Broomsticks.
"Well, come on then" he said
They walked up the road to Hogwarts, there arms holding each others body close to the other. Once there ron said, "Now we can officially start our walk."
She heard the clock in the tower begin to tollit s twelve chimes. She smiled and took his hand as they began to walk. They had had walked for about 10 mins in silence when suddenly Hermione spoke, "Ron, we are walking the same path we took on our first walk."
"Yes, we are."
"But why? I mean I would be happy walking our same walk we do now."
"I know that, but I told you this walk was a special one. Do you remember the first walk we took? The one when we started walking this path?"
"Of course I do. It was our first date, our first kiss, the night we became a couple. I especially remember the kiss."
"You still remember that kiss after all these years?"
"It's only be two years Ron. Yes I remember it, mainly because of what I felt. Because I still feel it each time you kiss me."
"Oh?" With that Ron stopped walking and bent his head down to hers capturing her lips with his. Causing her nearly to collapse, she would have had it not been for his arms holding her up. "Did you feel it then?" he asked with a smirk.
"Um, yeah think I did."
He chuckled and they started walking again. Finally they reached the spot he had been waiting on. They were just out of the whomping willow's path when he dropped her and and took the ring out of his pocket. Getting down on one knee he picked up her left hand, looking up at the tears forming in her eyes at the realization of what was about to happen.
"Oh, Ron."
"Hermione, I love you. I have loved you from the moment you told me I had dirt on my nose and that my spell wasn't very good. You are my life, my world, my hopes, my dreams. You are what I live for. I've tried to imagine myself loving someone else and it is impossible. There is no one I can love besides you. So now I am asking you here, where we shared our first kiss, our first date, and so much of our lives together, to be my wife. To share your life with me, to give me the honor of calling you my wife. Hermione Jane Granger, will you marry me?" At the last word he held up a tiny ring a diamond in the center with two saphires on either side of it, up to her.
Through tears and laughs and smiles he heard her say yes. Shaking he placed the cool gold band on her finger. As she felt the ring sliding onto her finger she heard the chimes of the clock once more, one toll. She smiled widly once more and then let herself get lost in his kiss.
end dream
Hermione woke up, the tears dried on her face, greatful it was Saturday. She rolled over and re-entered her dream word.
second dream
She stood looking out the window she was using for her bridal room, she couldn't help but smile at how stark her white bridal gown looked in the bright orange room.
"Mum, will you help me fasten my dress?"
Her mother came forward and slid the zipper up the back of her dress. "Hermione, you look beautiful. I'm so glad you decided to have the wedding here. It is going to be beautiful."
"Mum, I'm so scared. Am I really doing the right thing? I mean getting married?"
"Hermione, I've watched you love Ron for so long and nothing seems more right to me than for you to be marrying him. You without him doesn't make sense. Now tell me this, can you live another day without him? Can you live another moment not knowing that he will be next you always?"
"No, I can't. If I can't have him in my life everyday I'll go crazy. He is my life. And today he becomes my husband."
"Well, see there. I think it is time. Your dad is waiting for us at the bottom of the stairs."
Hermione looked into the mirror and took a deep breath. She straightened the flower wreath on her head and then turned to go out the door. Her mom stopped her and gave her a quick hug and kiss and together they stepped out the door and walked down the stairs where her father greated them.
They walked into the garden at the Burrow. There she was met by Ron and together they walked towards the officiate and took their vows, committing themselves to each other for life. Finally, Ron was told to kiss her and finally they were compleated. They were the one they were always meant to be.
end second dream
Moaning she rolled over. She wasn't ready to wake, she was enjoying her sleep and enjoying her dream. That was something that hadn't happened in a long time. She glaced at the clock and without thinking twice pulled the covers up over her head and drifted back to sleep.
third dream
They bid their families farewell and set off for their wedding night. Ron refused to tell her where they were going, "Typical" she had told him.
When they arrived she was amazed to find a beautiful room with flowers and candles surrounding a bed with beautiful white linens. As they walked in Ron softly closed the door, he quickly did a locking and silenceing charm and then he swept her off her feet and carried her to the bed.
He laid her gently upon it and then came down to rest beside her. He was leaning on one arm while brushing the hair away from her face.
"Do you know how beautiful you are? You truely are wonderful."
She reached up and touched his face, "I love you so much Ron. How could I ever live with out you? You are my life, my love, my strength."
"I love you too. You make me complete." With that last comment he moved forward and kissed her. He slowly moved his hands down her body and his kisses followed.
They woke the next morning in each others arms still smiling.
end third dream
Hermione awoke with a start and a smile on her face. She looked in the mirror and saw her puffy eyes and her larger than normal hair, but it didn't matter. She was content. She looked at the clock, amazed to find she had slept for 15 hours, she normally only got four hours any more. She put on her dressing gown and headed down to make a pot of coffee and get ready to face the day.
