Hi everybody! Sorry that it took me so long to update. I was really busy with school and ….. well school about covers it.lol. so here is chapter 6…..

Chapter 6

Question of the year

As Christmas rolled around, the usual decorations went up, the teachers all seemed much happier, and Peeves began hiding in the suits of armor while singing rude carols again. On Christmas morning, Hermione was pleasantly surprised with a large pile of gifts on the foot of her bed. Much more than usual. As she reached out for the largest of the gifts, which had Lavander's neat writing on the gift tag, a smaller gold box caught her eye. She opened this one instead and as she did, a note and a pair of brilliant diamond earrings fell out of it. She picked up the note. It said;

Hermione,

Your mother and I found these earrings while shopping at the mall and thought you would like them. We decided to send them early because we were afraid that your sister would take them and than refuse to tell us where they are. She misses you so much. She is always asking when her big sister will be home, and she can't wait to find out if she'll get to go to Hogwarts also. Well everybody here is fine right now and we hope you are too.

Missing you always,

Father, Mother, and Sarah.

Hermione put the earrings on immediately, and opened the rest of her gifts, receiving a broomstick care kit from Harry, chocolate from Ron, an assortment of new fashionable clothes from Lavander, and at least three pairs of high heeled shoes and high heeled sandals from Parvati. After that, she put on the least revealing outfit that Lavander had given her, which was rather hard considering that they were all extremely revealing. She ended up wearing the tight fitting red shirt and a pleated black not-too-short mini skirt, and the High heeled clog that made the outfit come off as being not too dressy and not too casual. Then she grabbed a new sweater-vest, which was green, and hurried downstairs to go to breakfast with Lavander and Parvati.

Ron was sitting in an armchair in the Common Room, when Hermione came marching down from the girls' dormitory with the other girls close behind her. He grabbed Hermione's hand and said,

"I need to ask you something." Hermione walked over to an arm chair and sat down. She smiled at him.

"Do you love me?" Ron asked as he bent down on one knee, and as he did so, every single person in the room seemed to go completely silent. Ron put a hand in side his robes as Hermione told him she loved him more than she would ever love anything on the earth. At that he withdrew a small black box from his robes. Hermione stared at it, now understanding the direction this conversation was taking. Was he going to….

Ron opened the tiny box and Hermione drew in a small gasp of surprise. Inside was the most gorgeous ring she had ever seen! It had one large white diamond and two smaller pink diamonds set in the middle of a gold band.

"Hermione Jane Granger, will you marry me?" As he said it, the whole room seemed to hold its breath waiting for the response.

"Oh Ron, of course I will!" Hermione said, leaping from her seat, throwing her arms around Ron's neck and kissing him. The whole room burst into cheers. After the ring was on her finger, Ron took Hermione's hand and they went down to break fast together.

Harry was sitting at the Gryffindor house table when Hermione and Ron, both grinning like there was no tomorrow, came into the Great Hall and sat down next to him. Not long after this, Ginny came in and plopped down next to Hermione, spotted the ring, and said,

"Where'd you get that?"

"Ron gave it to me. Come here," Hermione replied. Ginny leaned in closer.

"We're getting married!"

"YES! I'm getting a sister! I'm getting a sister!" Ginny sang, dancing around in her seat. Everybody started to stare at Ginny's vigorous twisting from side to side in her seat now and were asking what was going on.

"Ron and Hermione are getting married!" and then everyone was congratulating and patting Ron on the back.

When Malfoy heard about Ron and Hermione, he was angry and confused.

How could she do this? Did that night on the astronomy tower mean anything to her(A/N: uhhhh…survey says….NO!)

What was she thinking, that she could just toy with my emotions and then rip my heart out and show it to me? No way! I'll show her.

She'll see…

Ginny was ecstatic. Not only was she going to be getting a sister, but her sister would be Hermione, her best friend. Ginny looked at Harry and saw him staring at her. She flashed him a smile and started talking excitedly to Hermione about the wedding.

"Ginny," Hermione said turning to face her friend.

"Hmm?" Ginny said absent-mindedly, staring wistfully (A/N: Thank you my dear older brother for giving me this word, I love it! lol) at Harry.

"Would you like to be my maid of honor?"

"YES!" Ginny screamed. After a while, she calmed down and continued to stare dreamily at Harry.

Hermione laughed inside her head as she thought,

This has been the best Christmas of my life.

One week passed, and Hermione was as happy as she had ever been. Then, on New years day, she received a letter that said,

Hermione,

Meet me tonight on the astronomy tower and we'll discuss wedding plans.

-Ron-

So, she went. When she got there, Ron wasn't there, but someone else was.

"Hello, Hermione," Draco Malfoy said…..
