---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The next morning Ron awoke to a certain someone's hand in his face. He opened one eye and carefully took her hand off of his face and placed it on the bed. He then got up, kissing her softly on the cheek. He walked into the bathroom and took a shower, afterwards brushing his teeth and combing his hair. He then walked downstairs and started breakfast- bacon and eggs-.

A few minutes later Hermione woke up, and starred at the empty place next to her for a few seconds, then looked around the room once, and got up rubbing her eyes. She walked down to Ron- still in her pajamas- and grinned. Ron placed the breakfast on the kitchen table, and made a smiley face with the bacon and eggs on Hermione's plate. He grinned looking up at her. " G'morning, love." He walked over to her and hugged her, as she hugged him back. He kissed the top of her head as she looked over at the breakfast. She then looked up at him. " Are you feeling ok?" She asked placing a hand on his forehead. Ron laughed slightly " I'm fine." He pulled out a teddy bear with a red bow around it's neck, from behind his back. Hermione quickly withdrew her hand from his forehead and looked at the teddy bear, glancing up at Ron. He grinned and handed it to her. She took it and looked at it, sitting down at the kitchen table.

" It's kind of a be-lated anniversary gift.." He explained to her as he also sat down at the table and began eating. Hermione stroked the bear and smiled at Ron and kissed him on the cheek. " Thank you." She said placing the bear on the table and taking a sip of coffee. He grinned again " Your welcome.." He said. He started thinking about the real reason why he was doing this for her…he frowned a little thinking how he should tell her. Ron finished his breakfast and dropped his fork on his plate. Hermione looked over to him, chewing her food. She swallowed " Is something the matter?"

Ron starred at her for a moment then shook his head slowly. " n-no…" He stood up, and walked out of the room without another word. Hermione starred after him, a brow raised, chewing more food. She looked down at her plate, and finished the rest of her meal. She then stood up, levitating the dishes into the sink, then walked into the living room, in which Ron was playing a game of chess by himself.

Ron didn't notice Hermione enter and rested his face in his hands, starring at his knees…thinking. Hermione looked at Ron worriedly. She realized that he hadn't noticed her presence in the room. She looked around the room then starred at a book with an I-have-an-idea expression on her face. She silently walked over to the book, picked it up, and dropped it on the ground, making a loud "thud". Ron jumped and turned around to look at Hermione. " What the bloody he—" He looked down at the book then at Hermione, who had her arms crossed and was looking at him with a smirk upon her face. He grinned as he watched her walk over to him. Ron looked up at her, from his view, on the ground, and grinned again. Hermione held her wand, pointed it at a familiar olden radio, and flicked it once, making some lovely music appear. Ron smiled, then stood up and took her hand. " You had better let me have this dance.." He said as he started dancing with her. " Oh, now why would I allow you to dance with me?" She said as they danced around the living room. " I don't know..possibly because you love me?" They continued to dance. " Hm…that is a possibility…" She said, and they continued to dance gracefully around the room, enjoying themselves so much. They continued to dance for what seemed like nearly an hour. " I love you, 'mione, always have, always will…" He grinned and looked into her eyes. " As do I." She said, as they twirled around the room, they didn't even notice a knock at the door, and a certain Mr. And Mrs. Potter walk into the room, they stood there, in the doorway of the living room, grinning, watching them. Harry whispered something into Ginny's ear then walked over to them and lightly tapped Ron on the shoulder, as he cleared his throat." May I cut in?" He asked politely, attempting to bow, but instead, tripping. Ron, startled to see him there, looked over at him and grinned a little, " Now why would I allow this lovely, and beautiful woman to dance with you?" He asked, still dancing with her. " Well, because perhaps your gorgeous sister would like to have a word with you? " He said nodding toward Ginny, who waved a small, tiny wave. " Oh, you sure she's gorgeous? " He said, jokingly. Ginny rolled her eyes. Harry nodded, and grinned slightly. " Positive." Ron smirked then kissed hermione on the cheek and then walked over to Ginny, while Harry started dancing with hermione, chatting.

Ron and Ginny both walked into the kitchen, where they sat down at the kitchen table, after getting themselves a cup of coffee. " What is it?" He asked as he took a sip from his coffee. Ginny sighed, a heavy sigh. " Have you told her yet?" She asked, also taking a sip. Ron's face seemed to grow sadder within those few words. He shook his head slowly. " No…I-I don't know how to…She's just so cheerful, a-and…I just can't…" He continued to shake his head, looking down at his feet now. Ginny looked over at him. " You have got to tell her Ron. You have no choice in the matter. You two are leaving in only two days…" She said, sadness in her voice. She seemed rather sad ever since she walked in the door…or, in Ron's case, ever since he noticed her presence. " I know…I know…I-I'll tell her today..." He said taking a sip from his coffee. " Alright, you had better tell her today, otherwise I will tell her for you." She said standing up. Ron then too stood up and walked out of the kitchen and into the living room.

Ron looked at Hermione, she seemed so peaceful, and happy. He would hate to take that cheerful expression away by telling her the horrific news. He looked down at the floor, then over to Ginny. " Do I have to?" He whined. Ginny nodded. " Yes." Was all she said. Ron closed his eyes for a moment then sighed, and walked over to them, tapping Harry on the shoulder. " May I take my wife back, please?" He asked, his gaze, slightly looking down. Harry noticed the sadness in Ron's face, and nodded handing Hermione back over to him. Ron took her, and began to dance, only very slowly. Hermione noticed must have noticed his sadness. " What's the matter, Ron?" Ron looked down at their feet. " I have to tell you something…" He said, very gloomily. " What is it?" She asked, looking at him. " W-well…you see…" He began, not quite sure how to tell her. " The ministry needs some very qualified Aurors to go on this very special, and very dangerous, a-and, very…well, bad, mission." He said, as she looked at him, her cheerful expression starting to fade. He knew that would take her cheerfulness away. Something would have been very wrong if it hadn't. They continued to dance, very slowly. Ron sighed. " And well, y-you see—"

" You were chosen for that very mission…weren't you?" She cut him off. They stopped dancing, and Ron nodded. " Both Harry and I…" He added. Hermione closed her eyes as they both hugged each other tightly.

Ginny and Harry looked over at them, and noticed that Ron must have told her, as they saw a tear flow from Hermione's eye.

" How long?" Hermione whispered.

Ron closed his eyes for a moment. " About a year…if not longer." Hermione closed her eyes tighter, trying with all her might, not to cry. She tightened her hug, wishing he would never leave her, while Ron was wishing the same thing. They stayed like that for a while, when Ginny cleared her throat. Ron and Hermione looked up at Harry and Ginny, and walked over to them. Ginny hugged Hermione, and they both walked into the kitchen, both at the verge of crying.

" I was so depressed, and upset when Harry had told me. " Ginny said, shaking her head slightly, starring at her mug. " Yeah.." was allthat Hermione said. " Why did they have to be chosen…" Hermione thought out loud. Ginny shrugged. " Knowing our luck, it was bound to happen." Harry walked into the kitchen and placed his hands on Ginny's shoulders. " C'mon, it's getting late, we hade better go." He said, as Ginny stood up. " I'll see you later then, Hermione." Ginny said, hugging her. " Alright…" Hermione said as Harry also hugged her good bye. " Bye." They both said and walked out of the house, and appariated home.

Ron then walked into the kitchen, looking depressed. He walked over to hermione and knelt down beside of her. " I love you…" He said, stroking her shoulder. Hermione pulled him into a hug, making him almost fall over from his kneeling position. " I love you too.." She said, hugging him tightly. Ron startedrubbing her back. " C'mon, let's go to bed." He said standing up and offering her a hand. Hermione took his hand and stood up, and they both walked into their room, and got ready for bed.

Once they were in bed, Ron had an arm wrapped around Hermione and was rubbing her arm.

" 'mione.." he whispered. " Hm?" She said, halfway asleep. Ron sighed. " You know…" he paused and starred at the dark ceiling. " You're my life, my everything…" he whispered to her. " And…I don't know what I'd do without you…" He said, looking down at her arm again. " That's nice…" she said, not really paying attention to him, since she was just about asleep. Ron sighed and kissed her on the forehead, and then closed his eyes, hoping to fall asleep soon.
