1A/N:Sorry this chapter took so long I know I had been posting basicly one a day, but orchestra had me a little busy for a bit. Also I had a bit of writer's block with this next chapter. I know where it needs to go the only question is how I get there...

Disclaimer: Do not own Harry Potter, but if I did I would also be the proud owner of a cadillac XLR.

Hermione woke to the sun shining in her eyes, and looked at the clock to see it was 6:20 am. She crawled out of bed and made her way down to the kitchen to smell coffee brewing. As she walked by the bath she heard the shower going, and continued on to the kitchen. When she entered the coffee pot poured her a cup, and she found herself sitting at the table enjoying the morning news from the Daily Prophet.

Suddenly she heard the shower stop, and the door open about ten minutes later. Up behind her walked Ron and gave her a quick kiss. His hair was still wet from the recent shower, so it was brushed down.

It had been only three days ago since Ron had asked Hermione to move in with him, and she was having the time of her life. Hermione hadn't started work yet, but Ron had. As Ron ate a quickly made breakfast he dressed in his new robes, and with a quick kiss to Hermione left for work. Hermione sat reading the paper a bit longer. She flipped through the pages, and came to a page all about quidditch.

The Chudley Cannons made a resounding sweep over the Wimbourne Wasps at last nights game with a score of 650 to 300. It is said that the Cannons have a high chance of making it to the World Cup with their new seeker, Harry Potter. As Hermione read those last words she stopped. That couldn't have said Harry Potter, but the more she read it she realized that's indeed what it said. Below this small article was a picture of a now older Harry Potter catching the snitch. In tiny print was written photograph taken by Collin Creevey.

Hermione couldn't believe this, neither her nor Ron and talked to Harry in two years, ever since he walked away that day at the train station. Now here she was looking at a picture of him catching the snitch in a pair of orange robes for a professional quidditch team. She had never doubted that Harry was a talented seeker, but never thought of him following Oliver Wood and going pro. She was also surprised to see Collin's name under it, not only was he taking pictures for the Prophet but of course had to still be a fan of Harry's.

After having quite a shock she looked at the clock to find it to be almost noon. She figured since she still had a few boxes of her things to unpack she would start work on that before Ron got off at 5. Inside the bedroom she found a few boxes stacked up marked with a lot of different things. She also had her old school trunk their, and decided to see what she still had inside. When she pulled the trunk open she found it stacked with things she had saved. On top was the omnioculars that Harry had bought all of them at the Quidditch World Cup their fourth year. As she dug deeper she found a lot of books, and a small shoe box full of S.P.E.W. badges that no one had ever bought. Another tiny box was full of pictures from all the years together. Most of them taken by Collin it showed how he had progressed as a photographer.

The one photo that stuck out was the one taken by Collin on the day they graduated. They all had gotten a copy as he had promised, but she highly doubted any of them took the time to look at it. In the picture she looked at the three smiling, the two guys on the outside and her in the middle. Harry still had a few scratches on his face and arms from the long battle with Voldemorte only days before. The three looked so happy, but that was before it happened.

She put the pictures and things back in the trunk and stuffed it in the closet, and continued to unpack the rest of her boxes. Luckily now she could use magic, and it made the work a lot easier, and faster. When she looked at the clock it was 4 and she only had an hour before Ron was to get home. She ran around the house trying to find anything to do, but she just couldn't get the graduation picture out of her head. She couldn't believe they had been through so much for it all to end the way it did in the train station.

The door finally opened and she walked into the living room to see Ron enter the house. She gave him a quick smile and a kiss, and let him take his cloak off.

"How was work?" she asked him quickly as he walked into the kitchen.

"It was great, I am so happy to have finished my training. We had a bad deal with some trolls today but that was about it," he said giving Hermione another kiss. "So, what did you do all day?"

"Well for a while I read the prophet and found out something interesting. Harry has become the seeker for the Chudley Cannons."

"I know," Ron added going over to the cupboards to get the dinner making itself.

"You know!" She added with great excitement.

"Yeah honey I work at the minstry. Plus I Seamus is the new Head of the Department of Magical Games and Sports after Ludo retired last year." He added quickly looking at Hermione. "They announced about Harry at the end of last season."

"Oh ok," she said as a plate of food levitated over in front of her.

"Don't worry I still like them no matter who plays on the team," he said with a smile to Hermione, and she gave a small smile back. When they finished dinner Ron said a quick spell and the dished started washing themselves. The two lovers walked into the living room, and sat on the couch cuddling together for a while just happy to be in each other's presence. They stared into the fire and the silence got old Hermione finally started talking.

"Do you ever look at the picture from our graduation?" she asked looking to Ron.

"Not since I got it from Collin a few days after. Why?"

"I found it in my old school trunk today, and haven't been able to stop thinking about it since.I feel so bad about how all this ended," she added sadly.

"Honey none of this is your fault, and it definately wasn't planned. I had always pictured Harry telling you how he felt one day and you two becoming so close that you got married. I never thought of being the one that would be holding you in my arms today," he said looking at Hermione his hands clenched around hers. She smiled back at him and gave him a kiss. "Well it's getting late and you have your first day of work, so lets get off to bed shall we?" Ron added quickly.

"Yeah you're right I have a big day tomorrow. I probably should get some sleep." With that Ron pulled her up stairs for the two of them to get a good nights rest.

A/N: ok that's it for this chapter I know it's not my best, but I couldn't remember for a while how this chapter was going to go. I really like how this story is going so far, and I hope y'all do too. Please Review!
