Epilogue

Author's Note: Okay this is the LAST chapter, haha. Thanks to Kelly for helping me with the idea while leaving Technology. Haha. You guys might have noticed it said this chapter was up and then it disappeared, that was because I put it up and saw that the punctuation was weird so I took it down again and now I hope it's better! Hope you like it! Thanks for reading! Please review!

"No peeking."

"Harry. You're covering my eyes, how the hell can I peek!" I demand.

He laughs, continuing to lead me up a hill of some kind. He had portkeyed us from his flat to somewhere freezing. I couldn't see where we were because he kept my eyes closed the whole time.

The ground beneath me is crunching wildly and I'm breathing in frigid air, I realize now that I must being walking on snow. Why is Harry leading me somewhere covered in snow?

I shiver and continue to walk cautiously.

"Harry, you know I hate surprises, can I please just see where I'm going!" I question.

He laughs again and I smile unwillingly, I can't resist that laugh.

"You'll just have to wait," he says, teasingly.

My shoulders fall and I continue to wonder, with his hands over my eyes. It takes a few minutes of walking and wondering until he finally stops. There's still a bitter coldness surrounding me and a sharp wind whipping at my face.

"Don't open your eyes yet," he tells me, removing his hands from my face.

I don't look at my surroundings because the only thing I hate more than a surprise is a ruined surprise.

He turns me around and holds me still until I grow itchy with anticipation. What could I possibly be staring at when I open my eyes? His hands leave my arms and I wonder what will happen next.

"Harry?" I call just to make sure he's there.

"I'm right here," he says. "Just one second."

I wait a moment.

His voice is excited and I can tell he's grinning, "Okay, now open your eyes," he whispers in my ear.

I hesitate for a second, basking in the anticipation. I slowly open my eyes and my breath is instantly caught in my throat.

I'm standing on a mountain ridge covered in sparkling snow. The ridge looks over a forest, with tall, dark trees growing closely together. The sky is black, save for the palette of swirling colors above us.

Brilliant pinks meshing with neon greens and traveling behind and through the glittering blues while the royal purple reverberates all around. I've never seen anything like it and I feel close to tears.

I gasp, "Harry it's beautiful."

He doesn't say anything as we look over the landscape. It's all so utterly breathtaking and romantic, I wrap my arms tightly around him.

"What'd I do to deserve this little expedition?" I ask, looking up at him.

His face goes serious and my stomach flutters, he takes my hands and gets on one knee in the cold snow.

OH MY GOD.

"Hermione," he begins. "We've been through a hell of a lot of things. We've tackled a bitch, who now works at a nursery school, getting thrown up on by little children who she hates because daddy lost all of his money at the race track." I laugh at his imitation of Natalie's voice which continues to haunt my nightmares.

He looks up at me lovingly.

"We've dealt with Death Eaters and paparazzi, heck we've even befriended a gay man and his newfound Soho-born boyfriend and came out alive!" I smile thinking of Robbie and his flirty, blonde boyfriend who is indeed from Soho. "We're even here to tell the tale of becoming the Godparents of the insanely hyper Ron Weasley Junior!"

I laugh at this, thinking of Ron's little boy who is always moving about or crying incessantly.

Harry continues, "I only hope I'll have you with me forever, because I know if you weren't by my side in everything I would lose it... Just like I should have long ago."

I feel foolish as a lone tear drips down my face, he ignores it.

"Hermione, I lost you once and I'm prepared to take any measure to make sure that never happens again," he grins, reaching into his pocket and he pulls out a small black, velvet box. He opens the box to reveal a simple ring, "Will you marry me?"

My breath gets caught in my throat again, he's smiling at me expectantly and the amazing display of imprisoned light is dancing behind him. It doesn't take long for my answer to escape my mouth.

"Yes! Yes of course I will!"

His smile grows and he slips the ring onto my finger, standing to meet my gaze.

"I love you," he says, leaning in close.

"I love you too," I reply, and he kisses me in the incandescent snow.

Author's Note: And they lived happily ever after! Hope you liked it, I tried to get everyone's own little 'epilogue' in there. As you can see Ron found fatherhood, Robbie found love, and Natalie... Natalie found barf, actually. This is the last chapter. There is no sequel. Hope you liked it! Thanks for reading and reviewing!
