Hey! I'm sorry it's been so long! Schoolâ€. Well it's a wonder I have time to eat. Besides the fact that AP apparently stands for Absolutely Painstaking, I lost my floppy disk with the much much MUCH better version of this chapter on it. So, sorry! Also, I'd just like to say, this story, if I am thinking correctly, will be much longer than the previous one. Here it goes!

Hermione returned to her apartment, feeling as though she had came back with less than what she left with. She walked in and set her things down on the table, thinking she was just imagining things in her excitement. "Hey 'Mione!" called Ron from the other room.

"Hey!" she responded.

"So, how'd he take it?" Ron entered the living room from the kitchen, his smile as endearing as ever. Hermione beamed back at him. Neither of the two had really stopped smiling since their engagement.

"Very well, actually," answered Hermione as she walked towards the couch.

"He didn't try kiss you again, did he?" asked Ron jokingly.

"Oh, come on, Ron. That was a year ago" Said Hermione, still smiling mind you, as she took a seat. "Actually, it was about seven or eight months ago," She said to herself as Ron was taking a seat.

"Do you have that date memorized or something?" asked Ron curiously, with a laugh.

"No," she responded. "Matt does." Ron's eyes grew wide. "Well not that date! I mean the day I started working at Starbucks." Ron was still giving her an odd sort of look. "It's the date most of the summer employees start," she said, only telling half a lie.

"Well, never mind Matt." Said Ron, moving closer to his fiancé and kissing her.

"Well what do you propose we talk about?" asked Hermione, smiling as she looked at her husband-to-be.

"I propose," he said in the same tone as Hermione had, "We don't talk at all." Hermione smiled slyly, and Ron pulled her into a passionate kiss. His arm slid up and down her back, while Hermione tightened her hold on him, pulling herself closer and closer. Each minute their kiss became more and more passionate, until, that is, the phone rang.

Hermione let go of him, but Ron pulled her back. She giggled. "Just a minute." She said. Ron kissed her again. She just laughed and went to answer the phone. (It had been put in so questions wouldn't be raised by Matt when she told him she didn't' have a phone, and besides, it was easier to keep in contact with her parents that way.

She picked up the receiver. "Hello? Oh hey! Oh I did? I thought I had—do you want me to come by and pick it up tonight?" Ron stood up to follow her. "Oh, right, the drive. Well, I can come by tomorrow if that's ok. Oh no, I couldn't possibly ask you to—you're going to be in town anyway?" Ron came up behind Hermione and began to kiss her neck. Hermione let out an uncontrollable giggle. Quickly she covered her mouth, and pushed him away playfully.

"Yes, yes that's fine. Whenever you get a chance. Are you sure it isn't too much trouble? Alright. Thanks! I will. You're the greatest. See you tomorrow!" Hermione hung up the receiver. "Matt says hi, and congratulations."

"So then I take it, it wasn't your parents?"

"Of course it wasn't, I just told you it was—my parents! I completely forgot! We've got to tell them! When are we supposed to go to the burrow?"

"Six-thirty."

"Maybe we should just wait until tomorrow to tell them."

"How about we invite everyone over for dinner tonight instead? You're parents can spend the night so they don't have to worry about driving back home, and this way, we can tell everyone at once."

"Ron, you're a genius!" she said as she gave him a hug.

"You just figured that out?" asked Ron, pretending to be hurt.

"I better call them." Hermione picked up the receiver and dialed her old phone number. "Hey Dad! I'm fine, and you? Ron's family is coming out for dinner and we wanted to see if you'd like to come."

So I leave you with a not so good chapter, and a not so good ending. Sorry! Blame the lack of sleep. Since I gave you all such a long wait, and a bad chapter, I'll update as soon as I can! Please stick with me; I have a feeling you'll like this story. Thanks for reading!
