Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter(which includes any and all characters involved), All I own is the plot…or lack there of…and Karen and Gabriel (seems like in all of my stories I have to make up at least one character…maybe I should try writing one without doing that lol)
A/N: Hahah! Here's the last part guys! Thanks for the excellent reviews! This really boosted my confidence and got me thinking about new ideas again. I've been so busy and stressed lately that I think I just needed a quick break to unwind a little. Hopefully My Girls, Why Romeo REALLY Killed Himself and all my other fics that I haven't finished…hehehe…will benefit from it so thanks to everyone for your lovely and helpful remarks! Enjoy the last half and I know it's VERY random but believe it or not I got a lot of emotion out of my head by writing this so enjoy! Lol.
What's a fic without last time?…no fic of mine…lol…"What the fuck!" He yelled. Hermione stood up as well.
"What is it?" She asked. Draco turned and Hermione saw his pants were on fire.
"Oh my god!" Hermione screeched. Draco began to pat it out but it only seemed to make it worse. Soon the rug was on fire. Hermione panicked and grabbed a blanket to put it out.
With one swift motion the blanket turned to ice and it crashed into millions of pieces as it hit the floor. Next Hermione reached up her hand and the fire on Draco's pants went out. They both stood there panting for breath.
"What…the hell…was that?" Draco asked between breaths. Hermione looked at the mess before replying.
"I…I'm not sure." She breathed before looking at her hands.
"I think we have another problem." Hermione said before looking at Draco who was examining the burn on his leg. He nodded and Hermione looked at the burn. A handprint.
Now on to the fic…Ron sat on his couch opening and closing a small box. He sighed for the millionth time it seemed before finally closing it and setting it on the coffee table. He sat on his couch dressed up in a suit and tie and frequently glancing at the clock on the wall. Ron hadn't seen Harry or Hermione since his parent's barbeque but this was not odd considering he had spent most of his time with Karen. He picked the box back up at the thought of her and opened it once more to reveal a stylish diamond ring. He sighed again hoping she would say yes.
"Ron!" A voice startled the poor man and he almost dropped the ring as it flew into the air. Luckily he had caught it and quickly pulled it to his chest before turning to his fireplace, which was located right next to him. "Jeez Hermione, you scared me out of my wits." Ron complained. "Sorry." Hermione said sheepishly. "I…" Hermione didn't even have to finish before Ron continued her sentence. "Have another problem?" He asked tilting his head slightly. Hermione nodded. "I'll be right there." Ron said as Hermione's head disappeared from his fireplace. Ron looked at the ring in his hand before placing it safely in his coat pocket.
When Ron arrived at Hermione's flat he looked her over to see if she had grown any extra limbs or got herself hooked to Malfoy again. Draco however was found sitting on the couch looking at his hands. "What happened this time?" Ron inquired. "You know that job I left your house for?" Hermione asked. Ron nodded. "Well, Malfoy and I were hit with a few curses once we entered this old warehouse and we've been knocked out for almost a week." Hermione explained. "Jeez 'Mione, you're lucky it wasn't a few years." Ron noted.
"Anyway, now we have these…er powers I guess you'd say." Ron raised a questioning brow. "Here, I'll show you. Malfoy." Draco nodded and reached out his hand before catching a coat on fire. Hermione reached her hand out and it instantly froze the jacket. "Whoa…" Ron breathed. "Fire and Ice." Ron smiled. "Ron…" Hermione was interrupted as Harry came through her fireplace. "Sorry I'm late." He stated before standing up and dusting himself off. "What'd I miss?" Harry asked. "They're Fire and Ice." Ron said pointing to each in turn. Harry gave a questioning look. "What else is new?"
Hermione and Draco both narrowed their eyes at Harry and Ron before the two men began apologizing. "We just came back from St. Mungos and they said there was nothing wrong with us." Hermione explained. "Maybe it'll wear off." Harry shrugged. "You know like that time you both could read each other's minds." Harry explained. Hermione and Draco both shivered involuntarily. "But that took months. Maybe I should go to the library and see what I can find on different spells." Hermione said standing. Draco nodded and stood as well. "I'll check the dark arts. Might be something at my house." Draco shrugged. Hermione nodded.
"Sorry to call you both here but thanks for coming." Hermione smiled sheepishly. Both men smiled. "It's no problem." Harry said. Ron nodded before reaching into his pocket and nodding somewhat nervously. "Uh, guys, before you go…" Ron sighed. "I'm…I'm going to propose to Karen tonight." Ron said sheepishly. Harry and Hermione exchanged glances before grinning and giving Ron a hug. "Congratulations!" Hermione cried. "AHH!" Ron suddenly yelled. Hermione and Harry both backed up and found his arm was covered in ice. "I'm sorry." Hermione said while looking at her hand sadly. She turned to Draco and he held up his hand until it melted the ice. "Thanks. I better go though." Ron said looking at the clock on the wall. "Good luck." Harry called with a grin. Ron nodded with a smile. "Thanks. I'm hoping I won't need it though." Ron said just before leaving.
Karen had put Gabriel to bed and made her way downstairs when her doorbell rang. She opened her door slowly to find Ron standing with a dozen roses in a black suit. She gasped and grinned. "Well don't you look handsome." She said with a smile. Ron smiled. "Can I come in?" He asked with a grin before handing her the flowers. "Of course." Karen said startled before opening the door and letting him in. She took the flowers and went to the kitchen to find a vase. "These are beautiful." Karen said as she shut her eyes and inhaled the scent. "I thought of you when I saw them." Ron said before giving her a kiss on the cheek. Karen grinned.
"Is it our anniversary?" She teased. "It all depends." Ron began. Karen gave him a confused look before he slowly went down on one knee and looked up at her with the diamond ring in his hand. Tears streamed down her face as she put her hands to her mouth. "Karen, will you marry me?" On the staircase Gabriel put his hands to his mouth and shut his eyes. "Please say yes…" He prayed. "Of course I'll marry you." Karen cried before Ron stood up and wrapped his arms around her before giving her a kiss. Ron backed up and took the ring out of the box and placed it on her finger. She admired it before giving him another kiss. "I love you Ronald Weasley." Karen grinned.
Ron left Karen's house a little while later and went home to a restless night. "I'm getting married." He thought with a grin. When morning finally arrived he didn't waste any time in calling Harry. "Hello?" Harry mumbled into the phone. "Harry! She said yes! I'm getting married!" Ron yelled excitedly. Harry grinned and was suddenly wide-awake. "Congratulations! Have you told 'Mione?" Harry asked. Ron shook his head even though his friend couldn't see. "Not yet, you're the first person I called." Ron said still smiling.
"Guess I should get planning your bachelor party then hmm? When's the big day?" Harry asked. "Not for a few months." Ron blushed. "I'm proud of you Ron." Harry said sincerely. Ron grinned. "Thanks. I'm going to call Hermione and my mum so I'll talk to you later." Ron concluded. "Alright. See you." Harry then hung up the phone. "Who was that?" Harry rolled over to face Ginny. "Your brother's getting married." Harry grinned. Ginny's eyes lit up. She began to laugh and Harry grinned.
Hermione and Draco sat in the Malfoy Manor library. "Find anything yet?" Hermione asked with a sigh. Draco turned to her looking irritated. "I keep burning the pages." He complained before setting a book down. Hermione smiled lightly. "These keep freezing together." Hermione held up a book that was half frozen. "What if we don't get out of this one?" Draco asked thoughtfully before sitting next to Hermione. Hermione frowned. "Then…you're going to burn your girlfriends." Hermione said seriously. Draco frowned. Hermione began to laugh.
"Well, if you ever get a boyfriend I feel bad for the poor guy, he's going to be frozen solid the first time he kisses you." Draco joked. Hermione gave a pout. "And how do you know what happens if we kiss someone? Did you practice on your hand?" Hermione said referring to his burnt hand. Draco gave an odd expression. "No, I just burnt the back of my hand earlier that's all." Draco said sensitively. Hermione laughed. "Looks like we'll be stuck together if this stays." Draco commented. Hermione gave him a questioning look. "Who else will be there to put out the fires?" He asked quietly while looking into her brown eyes.
Hermione leaned closer and before either knew what was happening their lips met. After a moment, they separated slowly. Draco breathed out and a chill went through is mouth before they both saw his breath. Draco smirked. "That's a weird feeling." He commented. Hermione nodded with a smile. Someone then decided to clear his or her throat. Draco and Hermione turned to find a house elf with a blush looking at the two with wide eyes. "Master Malfoy, Blinky has message for Miss Granger." The elf said quickly. Draco and Hermione stood up to walk to the fireplace.
Once they arrived they found Ron's head. "I figured you'd be here." Ron commented as they sat in front of the fireplace. "Hello Ron." Hermione said happily. Ron raised an eyebrow at her cheerfulness and looked at Draco who shrugged. "Any luck with the Fire and Ice situation?" Ron asked turning back to Hermione. She shook her head somewhat sadly. "Not yet. There seems to be nothing about it in any book." Hermione said with a shrug. "Well, I have some news." Ron blushed. "I'm getting married." He said with a grin. Hermione squealed making Draco cover his ears. "That's great! Oh I want all the details! What'd she say? Well of course she said yes, didn't Harry and I tell you she'd say yes? You had nothing to worry about. Have you told your mother? This is so exciting! Ron I'm so proud of you. I can't believe you're getting married. Congratulations." Hermione finished in one breath.
Ron just stared at her open mouthed with a slight smile. "Uh, thanks 'Mione." Ron said sheepishly. Hermione grinned. "Congratulations." Draco said with a smirk. Ron grinned. "When's the wedding?" Hermione asked. "Not for another month or so." Ron answered. "You're both invited of course, and no I haven't told anyone yet but you and Harry. I'm calling my mum next." Ron explained. Hermione nodded. "Well, we'll have to throw you and Karen an engagement party! Just leave it to Harry, Ginny, Malfoy and I and it'll be a blast." Hermione grinned. "Thanks 'Mione." Ron said happily. "I'll see you soon then." Ron said before leaving the fireplace.
"I can't believe he's getting married." Hermione sighed. Draco nodded. "She isn't even a red-head." Draco smirked. Hermione grinned but rolled her eyes. "Why should she be?" Hermione asked. "I don't know, it just seems like all of the Weasley's have the characteristic red hair." Draco shrugged. "That doesn't mean he's going to marry a red-head. That would be like you being attracted to blondes." Hermione pointed out. "How do you know I'm not?" Draco asked smugly.
Hermione gave him a look and he smiled lightly. "Have you ever thought of dyeing your hair blond?" He asked as he examined her hair. "Draco…" She laughed. "Seriously though, it'd be lovely." He smiled. "You don't like my brown hair?" She asked with a fake pout. Draco just looked at her with a faint smile. "I love your bushy brown hair." He replied meaningfully. At that moment, it was finally clear. In one secret meaning, she knew how he felt. "I love you too." She whispered before he kissed her once again.
A scream was heard far away and immediately every red head in the vicinity came running into the burrow. "Oh my…" Mrs. Weasley quickly fell into a chair as everyone came running. She held a telephone to her ear, she was one of the few to learn how to properly use it, as she grinned like a little school girl. When all of the children and Mr. Weasley gave her a confused look she grinned at them all. "Ron's getting married!" She yelled. All of the men laughed. "Are you serious?" Fred asked shocked with a grin. "Way to go Ron!" Charlie called with a laugh.
"Can you believe it? Our little brother's all grown up." Bill said with a laugh. Ron heard all of their cheering and grinned. "Tell them all thanks." Ron said with a laugh himself. Molly repeated the message and Percy yelled out congratulations as George kept cheering. "I'm so proud of you Ron." Molly said honestly. Ron laughed. "Everyone keeps telling me that." Ron joked. Molly's eyes watered up.
"Better hand the phone over mum." Bill said before taking it as Molly cried on her husbands shoulder. "Hey there little bro." Bill knew how to use the phone because he visited many muggle locations and needed it. "Now what's this news about you getting married?" Bill teased. Ron laughed. "You know that cute little thing I introduced you to on Saturday a few weeks ago? Yea that's the love of my life." Ron grinned. "I'm happy for you Ron." Bill said sincerely. "Thanks." Ron nodded even though his brother couldn't see.
After switching the phone around to different people until Fred and George began to talk about how to ruin his wedding, in a joking manner of course, Molly took the phone again and said a polite good-bye and love you before hanging up. Ron sighed. He couldn't wait to see Karen. Realizing he had no one else to call he decided to pay her a visit.
Hermione couldn't find any information on her current situation but she did learn something outside of the books. Her power, as she had come to call it, was powered by her emotions mostly. The stronger the emotion, for instance kissing Draco, the more chill came to her body. Draco seemed to be having the same trouble as his hands caught on fire after they had separated. He simply stared at them burning and smirked at her.
The night finally came for Ron and Karen's engagement party. They decided to have it in a small pub in Hogsmeade. Gabriel was being watched by one of Karen's friends for the night so she could relax. When the couple arrived hand in hand everyone from their party cheered. Other people that had just come out for a night of drinking looked on curiously. "To the soon to be Mr. and Mrs. Weasley!" Harry called while holding up a glass. Ron grinned and turned to Karen who was laughing.
The party went on smoothly and Ron and Karen were having a great time. "Thanks for the party 'Mione." Ron said before giving his friend a hug. "You deserve it." Hermione said with a nod. Ron laced his arm around Karen's waist as she leaned on his shoulder. "Care to dance?" He asked. She grinned. "Why Mr. Weasley, I thought you'd never ask." With that she dragged him by his collar onto the dance floor. Everyone laughed at this and turned back to their drinks.
"They make the cutest couple." Ginny sighed happily for her brother. Harry looked over and found his best friend dancing closely with his soon to be wife. They were dancing a slow dance even though the song was very upbeat. "He really loves her." Harry pointed out. Ginny nodded and grinned. "I've never seen him so happy." Ginny said almost shocked. "Me either, not in a long time." Harry agreed. "Speaking of couples…" Ginny giggled.
Harry turned to Ginny and followed her gaze to Draco and Hermione. They sat at the bar laughing. "Now that's a sight I never thought I'd see." Harry smiled. "What? Hermione and Malfoy?" Ginny asked. "No, Malfoy laughing." Harry pointed at the young man as he grinned. Ginny laughed and nodded.
Hermione took a sip of her drink and sighed. "Perfect." She said happily. Draco frowned before turning to her. "Would you mind?" He asked sheepishly. Hermione smiled before picking up his glass and blowing on it. It instantly froze. Draco took it from her and laughed before showing her that the entire drink was now an ice cube. Hermione blushed. "Oops." She shrugged. Draco just continued to laugh.
Months passed until it was finally the day of Ron's wedding. "Come on Draco we've got to go!" Hermione called up her stairs. "I'm coming Granger, hold your broomsticks." With that he emerged from the staircase while fixing his tie. "What are muggle women setting out to accomplish? Strangling their dates?" Draco asked referring to his tie. Hermione smiled before going to help him out. As she tied it she made the mistake of looking into Draco's eyes. Immediately her hands turned to ice, as they had not yet found a cure.
Draco smiled and gave her a peck on the lips before putting his hands to his tie and unthawing it. "Sorry." Hermione muttered before walking towards the door. Only then did Draco have the chance to admire her. Hermione wore a simple spring dress just below her knees and a small chain necklace and bracelet with matching earrings. Her hair was for once tamed and put up into a curly do that brought out her chocolate brown eyes. She wore stylish shoes that she could manage walking in for a few hours to complete her outfit. Draco nodded before following her out the door.
Ron and Karen had decided to have their wedding at a muggle place nearby where they met. There they could have the reception immediately after and everyone would be able to fit. When Hermione and Draco arrived they both took their seats near the front on Ron's side of the hall. Molly and Arthur as well as Ginny sat in the front. The other boys were in the wedding and of course Harry was Best Man. Seamus, Dean, Neville, Parvati and Lavendar were also invited and sat near Draco and Hermione. "I can't believe Ron's getting married. For some reason I could never picture him settling down with anyone." Parvati squealed. Lavendar nodded. "She must be something special I'd say." Lavendar giggled.
Ron appeared at the front of the hall looking very nervous. He looked at Hermione with a lopsided smile and she grinned back and gave him a thumbs up. He smiled and nodded his thanks. On Karen's side her grandmother sat, no doubt her mother was in helping the bride dress. Naturally her father was giving her away and Gabriel was ring barer. She also invited a few friends but she had many aunts and uncles in the audience as well. It seemed her closest friends were in the wedding itself.
Just as Hermione thought this, the music began and everyone turned to witness Gabriel and a small girl walk down the aisle with rose petals falling in their wake. A few moments after and the wedding party marched down arm in arm. After they had all reached the front many more people took out their cameras and began taking pictures of the bride as she made her way down the aisle towards Ron. Ron stared at her amazed as she made her way to him. Her white dress flowing behind her and through the veil he could see the smile on her face as she stared straight at him.
Once she was a few feet away her father lifted the veil and gave her a kiss on the cheek before giving her away to Ron. Ron took her arm and helped her to the podium, never losing eye contact. Karen grinned and immediately the tears began to fall. "Do you Ronald Weasley take Karen Meyer to be your lawfully wedded wife, to have and to hold, in sickness and in health, until death do you part?" The man asked. Ron smiled. "I do." With that he took the ring from Gabriel and placed it smoothly on her finger. Karen continued to cry.
"Now, do you Karen Meyer take Ronald Weasley to be your lawfully wedded husband, to have and to hold in sickness and in health, until death do you part?" The man asked. Karen grinned and finally choked out. "I do." She cried happily. Ron smiled as well with a small blush. She then took the last ring from Gabriel and placed it on her new husband's finger.
"By the power vested in me," Hermione and Draco looked at one another before smiling. "I now pronounce you, husband and wife. You may kiss the bride." The crowd who cheered for the new couple drowned the last part out. Ron however had been waiting for forty-two hours to be near her, it was bad luck, after all, to see the bride before the wedding. He wrapped his arms around his wife and kissed her passionately making the crowd stand and applaud as she kissed him back and wrapped her arms around his neck.
The rice was thrown and congratulations were given until the feast was served. Harry and the maid of honor, Susan, both gave touching speeches that made almost everyone in the room teary eyed. The feast began and before anyone knew it the reception began. Ron and Karen cut their cake without messing one another's faces up too bad. Ron basically had the brilliant idea of smearing some next to her mouth so he could lick it off. Most of the guys cheered for this move and even Karen laughed at Ron's antics.
"Now the bride will share a dance with her father before the bride and groom share their first dance as a married couple." The DJ announced as a slow song began. Ron sighed happily next to Harry. Harry grinned before giving his friend a nudge. "Congratulations." Harry said for the millionth time. Ron hadn't stopped grinning all day. "My word, if people had told me getting married brought on this much bliss I would have done it years ago." Ron joked. Harry laughed. "Depends on the girl, and if I'm right, you found the right one." Harry nodded. Ron nodded.
"That's my cue." With that the groom stood up to take his place with his bride as they shared their first dance. "It's so romantic." Ginny sighed. She had taken Ron's seat while he danced and entwined her fingers with Harry's. Harry smiled at his girlfriend. Before either of them knew it, it was time to throw the bouquet. "Alright, all eligible ladies please come forward. A few stood up and went to the empty floor where the bride stood a few feet ahead of them but some single women stayed put. "Go on Granger." Draco smirked. Hermione glared at him.
Ginny was also choosing to stay put. Harry however had other methods of getting her there. He lifted her up over his shoulder, luckily she was wearing a long dress, and placed her on the floor with the other girls. Draco nodded at Harry's job and Hermione looked horrified. "You wouldn't…" She began but Draco began to wrap his arms around her as though he were about to. Hermione stood up quickly. "Fine." She said and marched to the group of girls. Karen smiled and turned her back to the girls before throwing the bouquet over her head.
It was headed straight for Ginny and Hermione but Hermione wasn't paying attention. Ginny however was and moved aside as the bouquet landed in Hermione's arms. Hermione gasped and then blushed. Karen then sat on a chair and Ron reached up her dress to get the garter while the men in the room howled. Ron just blushed and Karen laughed. He finally got it off and Karen gave him a kiss before he went to the front of the room. "Next the single gentlemen please." The DJ called. Harry and Draco both walked up with a few other men and waited for Ron to throw the garter.
Ron turned his back as the men waited. After a moment Ron spun around and threw the garter directly at Draco. Draco, once being a Quidditch Seeker player and all, snatched the garter without thinking and blushed as the other men cheered. Harry and Ron grinned at one another before giving one another high fives. Draco knelt his head down still blushing and trying to hide his smile at their trick. Hermione sat on a chair and bit her lip with a smile on her face. Draco walked over and knelt down. He began to slide the garter up her leg and stopped a bit above her knee. The men, mostly Harry and Ron argued that he had to go further and so while blushing furiously he slid it up her thigh. Hermione was blushing beet red.
Draco finally stood up and helped her up as she noticed his bright red face. Then the crowd cheered, again, mostly Harry and Ron, and pat Draco on the back. "Why'd you do that?" Draco asked Ron still with a small blush and a smile. Ron shrugged. "I didn't want you getting jealous when another man was reaching up her skirt." Ron grinned. Draco turned away with a smile and Harry grinned as well. "Looks like you two will be the next to be married." Harry commented. Immediately the napkin Draco was holding went up in flames and Hermione's glass froze and shattered into a bunch of scattered ice when she dropped it in shock. Harry and Ron stared at them curiously with sneaky grins. Hermione was quick to recover and took out her wand to clean up the mess. Draco just cleared his throat.
After Ron's wedding, Ron adopted Gabriel as his own son and moved into Karen's house. They went on a one-week honeymoon to Egypt while Gabriel stayed with Susan, otherwise known as the maid of honor, and her husband. Less than a year later, Ron and Karen were graced with the presence of their first baby girl, who would soon follow into her father's footsteps and inherit magic.
Harry and Ginny were married just after Ron had his little girl and have lived happily with their two boys.
Draco and Hermione finally found a cure for The Fire and Ice curse almost two months after Ron's wedding. They began dating a few short hours after Ron's wedding and were married a year later after finding out Hermione was pregnant with a baby boy.
Well, what do you think? I know this part was a little sappy and there was a bit of fluff and randomness as well as probably more confusion and I do apologize but this was really a working fic for me and I just couldn't stop writing it. I have read it over and I even enjoyed it with all of the mistakes so I'm hoping no one minds too much lol. Thanks to all reviewers and I'm sorry I'm not leaving comments for all of you but I did LOVE hearing from you! I forgot how nice it was to get such wonderful reviewers. Thanks!
Marmalade Fever- I really appreciate your friendship you know that? Wow, thank you so much for spending time to read my fics…I admit I do lose track of how many I have unfinished lol. I've gotten complaints of the setup but I'm thinking of trying to just leave it all in paragraphs. One person said to make a new paragraph EVERY time a person started talking and frankly...well, you know my fics they're basically ALL dialogue…maybe I should write a play! Lol. Anyway, it's a lot of work going through the ENTIRE story to find when one person stops talking. I tend to put in breaks, as you've noticed…lol…before finishing a sentence. So tell me what you think of this plan and if it's too cluttered than I can go through and read through the entire thing but I'm lazy (I admit lol) and I rather not but if it helps than I will. I really just wanted to thank you for the advice and for your thoughts…they really mean a lot to me! I love your stories! Well, I think this is long enough lol. And I'm glad that you know that I know that you're my friend looking out for a fellow fanficer lol. Thanks! Ttyl!
Spordelia Chase- It's about to get more cluttered…and I do apologize for the lack of detail and my lack of memory for putting something in between scenes…luckily I have you to remind me. Thanks! Ttyl!
EVERYONE ELSE- I'm glad you're enjoying this short little fic! Lol. Thanks a bunch! Ttyl!
