As the days went by, Harry became more and more nervous. Before he knew it, the day of their anniversary had come. Hermione had asked him to come to the yard at about six.
Harry had spent nearly all morning and afternoon to prepare himself. Ron had decided to stay out of his way and helped Hermione set up in the yard.
"I'm worried," Hermione bit her lip. "What if he doesn't like my cooking?"
"Hey, I've had some," Ron replied, "It's good. Magnifique. He'll love it."
"Really?"
"Really."
Once they'd finished setting up, Ron wished her good luck before he and Nicola left them to be alone. Harry took a deep breath before going downstairs to meet with Hermione. He had a bit of a problem holding onto the present due to his sweaty palms.
He wasn't expecting what he saw. The yard looked amazing with the table set up with an elegant centerpiece and the candles made everything just perfect. Despite their surroundings, Harry only seemed to notice Hermione standing by the table.
His knees trembling, he walked over to her. They were silent as they sat across from each other. Not wanting to think that the silence from Harry was a negative reaction, Harry said,
"This is great."
"Really," Hermione broke out into a smile.
"Yeah, it's perfect. Happy anniversary Hermione."
"Happy anniversary. Go on eat. I know it—"
"Just knowing you're here and you did this for me is enough."
They ate in silence. Once or twice Harry stopped to compliment on her cooking, but other than that, it was quiet. Once they'd finished eating, Harry decided it was time to give her the present. He reached into his pocket and took out the letter. He put it on top of the black box and gave it to her.
Hermione took out the letter, unfolded it, and began to read. Harry tried to keep himself from going into panic mode as he waited for her to finish reading. He became worried when tears fell from her eyes as she put the letter away. Had she hated it?
"That was wonderful," she wiped her tears away. "I love you too. I'll never love anyone like you."
Harry found himself relaxing. "It's true, all of It." he took her hand. "I'd be so lost without you."
This only caused her more tears. With trembling hands, she opened the box and gasped. She couldn't believe he'd gotten her something like that.
"Harry, the letter was enough, you—"
"I know. I wasn't planning on giving you the letter, but since I'd written it, I might as well give you both."
She took the necklace from the box and looked at it. She undid the other chain and slipped one of the rings through. Harry watched as she got up and put it on him. She took the other one and put it on.
"One for you, one for me," she smiled. "One day, maybe, we won't have these rings as pendants."
Harry smiled before kissing her briefly.
"They're so cute," Nicola turned to Ron, They'd been watching from the kitchen window.
"I made that happen," Ron said proudly.
"I know, I know. Do you always have to say it though?"
Ron thought a moment. "Yep."
Harry and Hermione sat on the steps of the back porch. Her head was rested on his shoulder as they held hands, their fingers intertwining with each other. The two seemed to be in a daze.
"Harry?" Hermione's voice was quiet.
"Yeah," Harry replied in the same tone.
Harry turned to her. He looked into her brown eyes.
"There will be a next year and we will wear these rings not as pendants."
They smiled at each other before their lips met again.
"Aww," Nicola sniffled.
"Yeah, aw," Ron said.
They looked at each other and grinned. They had a feeling Harry and Hermione would be together for a long time. Just like them.
"Come on, let's go say hi," Nicola took Ron's hand and they went to join the other two in the yard.
