Your Night

By: Silver Ice

"Tomorrow I will be a new man," Ron declared to himself, taking a swig of his Fire Whiskey in happiness. Ron was sitting in the kitchen at the Burrow, and the next day was to be the first day he'd be coaching the Chudley Cannons. The job had come at a perfect time, about 3 months after the end of school. Ron wasn't happy about the job alone though; he was thrilled because he knew he'd finally have money. Not just any money, good money. Which meant he'd finally be able to propose to Hermione. Ron didn't know what to be happier about.

Since Ron and Hermione had gotten their small flat at Hogsmeade life hadn't been too easy. Ron had planned to get himself the flat after graduation, but it had been a surprise when Hermione had moved in too. Of course, it had been a surprise when her parents had been killed. The Granger's had been the last of Voldemort's victims before he was finally defeated. Ron hadn't hesitated to offer Hermione co-living conditions, and she hadn't hesitated to accept. The move wasn't forced either, because the two had been dating for most of seventh year, and needless to say they had only gotten closer.

Now it had been 12 weeks, and for the last 4 Ron's mother had been begging him to propose to Hermione. Ron had wanted to, came really close once, but the issue of a good job and money had always held him back. Not anymore though, the only questions left were how and when would he propose.

"Do you think he's gone mad?" Fred asked George.

"With a grin like that--it could be worse!" George replied. Ron was drawn out of his thoughts by their conversation and quickly frowned.

"Can't a man think in peace around here?" Ron asked as he finished his Fire Whiskey.

"Sure Ickle Ronniekins, a MAN can think in peace," Fred and George replied, holding back their laughter.

"Very funny, but the two of you won't be able to aggravate me today," Ron said, clearing his goblet from the table.

"Oh, so Ronnie is the big bad couch now, huh?" Fred asked with a grin.

"I sure am…now give me ten!" Ron shouted.

Fred and George both rolled their eyes before declaring they were going to go aggravate aggravatable people. They apperated and left Ron alone again. Ron would have loved to have them around…just not now. He sat for a while longer and began to feel the start of a buzz before falling asleep right at the kitchen table.

"So, tell me, how's school going?" Hermione asked Ginny curiously. Hermione had been left at home when Ron had went to the Burrow for the day, and instead of following him there, she had decided to visit Ginny at Hogwarts. Ginny had been more than thrilled to see her friend walk in to the common room in the evening.

"Well enough, I guess," Ginny muttered in response.

"How are N.E.W.T preparations going?" Hermione questioned, knowing the answer.

"Awful! I didn't think it'd be so difficult in seventh year!" Ginny exclaimed.

"It's not that bad," Hermione said.

"I guess you're right, but I wish I had you and Harry here to help," Ginny said with a sigh.

"What about Ron? Hermione asked.

At this Ginny laughed, "One-tracked mind, always thinking about him!"

Hermione flushed, "No, I don't think about him all the time!" Ginny cleared her throat loudly at this. "Okay, maybe I do think about him all the time, but what about you--thinking about Harry all the time," Hermione said in retaliation.

"That's different, he's very…thinkable!" Ginny said, for lack of a better word. Hermione laughed.

"Guess you've got me," she said.

"Ha, I win," Ginny declared, "now I only wish I could have Harry!" Ginny said, finding herself day-dreaming about Harry and his amazing eyes and messy hair. Harry with his tall muscular body. Harry with-Ginny stopped as Hermione snapped her fingers.

"I'm sorry Ms. Weasley, but you're suffering from Potter Depravation. Seek out a Potter immediately." Hermione said smiling.

Ginny rolled her eyes, "So…how are you and Ron doing?"

"Well, I think he's going to propose!" Hermione squealed, glad to finally say what's been on her mind.

"WHAT?" Ginny exclaimed, "What would give you that idea?"

"He's finally gotten a job he loves, and I know he's been holding the proposal off because of money…but now that won't be a problem!" Hermione explained, hoping she was in fact right.

"In that case, congratulations in advanced!" Ginny said, making me grin like mad.

"Oh Ginny, I can't wait! You should have seen us a few nights ago when Ron first got the news!" Hermione exclaimed. She then looked around, and seeing no one near by she whispered something into Ginny's ear.

"No! Really? Wow," Ginny said, mouth wide. Hermione only nodded, grinning like a fool.

"Honey, wake up!" Hermione said, shaking Ron's shoulder after she clicked off the alarm.

"I don't wanna," Ron whined with a yawn.

"What about your team, they're waiting," Hermione said, making Ron shoot out of bed.

"Oh my-thank God you woke me up!" Ron said, quickly kissing Hermione before getting dressed. Hermione remained in bed after the small 'pop' of Ron apperating sounded, and spent the next few hours reading lazily. Trying to read them anyway. Her mind kept drifting though. First to yesterdays conversation with Ginny, then to 'that day'. She just couldn't seem to get it out of her head.

*Flash Back to 'that day'*

Hermione was sitting at the bench just outside of Hogsmeade. It had been less than a month since Graduation and Hermione was pleased with life. She was reading 'Hogwarts, A History' when someone snuck up behind her and grabbed her around the waist.

She gasped, "Hey!"

"What?" Ron asked, picking Hermione up and sitting her on his lap.

"You scared me silly!" Hermione declared with a sigh of relief at seeing Ron.

"I'm very sorry indeed, it's just--I've been wanting to ask you something important," Ron said, tensing as he spook.

"That is…" Hermione asked.

"Well, I've really enjoyed us being together and now living together, but something is missing," Ron said.

"Oh," Hermione said in growing excitement.

"Well, you see Hermione. I was wondering if you'd-" It was at this precise moment that a loud group of people decided to pass out of Hogsmeade, droning Ron out.

"What Ron?" Hermione asked, as the group disappeared.

"Oh, well, I was wondering if you'd cook for me," Ron said, the moment lost.

"Oh," Hermione said sadly, "sure Ron."

*End of Flash Back*

Hermione couldn't believe her luck. She just knew he'd been about to propose, and those loud people had ruined it! She huffed in anger thinking about what she'd almost had. At this Hermione pulled herself out of bed and began in mindlessly clean. She didn't know how long she'd been cleaning, but it was about half way through cleaning the kitchen that Pig flew in through the window. Hermione's heart raced as she took the letter from Pig's foot. She read it and smiled in anticipation.

A/N: This took long to type. I type badly. Lol, thank you to Cheryl for listening to me as I typed this badly. Wow, please review…next chapie… 'the letter' and Ron's coaching…. Oh yeah, thank you to Cheryl for the great title…What might have been!
