Disclaimer: Oops, I haven't put one for the last few chapters, sorry! Anyway, this all belongs to the wonderful and creative mind of Joanne Kathleen Rolwing.

A/N: I am so sorry! I really do have good excuses, but there are soo many of them the list would be longer than the chapter! Just know that I really tried to update sooner!

Now I've got even more big, sad, news. Ron and Hermione have gotten a divorce, but believe me the ending is very happy! After last chapter's comments, I almost didn't make them divorced, but it just wouldn't have the same effect as the chapter was supposed to have. With that said, enjoy the story!

"You did what?" Hermione asked loudly, staring blankly at Ginny.

"Hermione, now don't get mad. All I did was sing you up for a cruise. After reading the brochure, I'm sure there's know way you can honestly say you don't want to go on it!" Ginny exclaimed, looking her best friend straight in the eye.

"Well… I know I do need some relaxation, I guess this will be good for me. But I wish you would have asked me first." Hermione said, sighing and looking out the window.

"So, you're really mad at me?" Ginny asked with a fake baby voice.

Hermione laughed. "Of course not. I'm actually happy to go on this. I really could use a break from all the work the Ministry has dumped on me."

"That's exactly what Ron said." Ginny remarked.

"Ron?" Hermione asked, her voice a bit higher than usual. She had that weird queasy feeling in her stomach, and she was feeling a bit lightheaded. "You and Ron and divorced! You should not have these weird feeling when I hear his name." she scolded herself.

Ginny rolled her eyes and sighed. "One year and one would think you'd gotten over him. Yes, I asked Ron his opinion on which cruise you should take."

"Oh." Hermione replied.

"So you board the boat in Mexico." Ginny explained.

"When?" Hermione asked. she could see an evil grin on Ginny's face.

"tow hours." Answered Ginny, the evil grin turning into a smirk.

"WHAT?" Hermione yelled.

"Got to go." Ginny replied quickly, Disapparating before Hermione could yell anymore.

Hermione sighed. Getting there would be no problem, she could just apparate, but it would take her quite a while to pack and tell Ron that she couldn't keep the kids. For the next thirty minutes she raced around her flat, throwing articles of clothing into her trunk. She was so enthralled in her packing that for the second time she didn't here somebody enter her apartment.

Hermione was holding a flowered, blue bikini bottom, looking for the top when this stranger got to her doorway. "Looking for this?" He asked, holding up the top.

Hermione screamed and turned round to find that is was Ron holding her top. Hermione was relieved. "You scared me for a minute there." She said breathlessly. "And yes, that is what I'm looking for."

"Sorry." He replied, throwing the top into the trunk.

"Its ok." She said, returning to her packing.

"So your definitely going?" He asked, sitting at the foot of her bed.

"Yeah, why wouldn't I?"

"Oh well, I thought you might think it was too short notice." He answered.

"Oh, well, yeah its short notice, but it seems cool."

The sat there for a few minutes in an awkward silence, while Hermione packed and Ron watched. "Well, I've got to go." Hermione said, after siting down on the trunk to close it.

"Ok, bye Hermione." Ron replied. "Idiot, you came here to tell her that you love her, and your letting her walk away!" His conscious replied.

"Ron is there anything you want to tell me?" Hermione asked.

"Yeah, no, well maybe. You see, I erm, we-" Ron stuttered.

"Ron, I'm sorry, but I've got to go. The boat leaves in forty-five minutes." Hermione replied, taking out her wand, shrinking her trunk to a smaller, less heavy, size and turning away to apparate. She closed her eyes and was thinking of the three D's when suddenly she felt Ron's hand on her wrist, turning her around to face him. she stared at him for a second, before he pulled her closer and kissed her. Hermione stood there perplexed for a moment, then relaxed and kissed him back, as she felt herself go weak in the knees.

Ron pulled away from her. "I love you," he whispered, "and I'm so sorry about this whole thing. I should have let us go through the divorce. I shouldn't have even let you leave in the first place. I love you Hermione." He repeated. "I never stopped loving you an I never will. Why are you crying?" he asked, noticing the small tears seeping out of her eyes. "Did I do something wrong?"

Hermione laughed, "Of course not." She whispered. "I'm crying because I'm so happy, and because I love you so much. Now kiss me you prat." Ron chuckled, before following her orders and kissing her again. What started out as an innocent and sweet kiss, soon turned into to a passionate snog due to four years of pent up passion. Before the knew it, they had fallen onto the bed and Ron was unbuttoning her shirt.

"Wait we cant do this. Well, I want to, and technically we can, but you know we're not married." Hermione mumbled. Ron chuckled, and pulled her to her feet.

"Follow me." He whispered.

Dear Ginny,

Wow, your right. This cruise is amazing! Everything is so beautiful! Well, at least the room and the view are beautiful, cause that's the only thing I've really seen since I got on the boat. Anyway, you've probably died of anticipation while waiting for this letter (especially after Ron rushed in, asked you to watch the kids for two weeks, and then left) and I'm sorry its late, but I have been really busy. Why? You might ask. Well, guess what? Ron and I eloped!

I'm sorry you couldn't be in the wedding, but it was just so spur of the moment. He came to my flat right as I was leaving and we talked and one thing led to another, and we were snogging on my bed! But, I told him we couldn't do anything since we weren't married, and he proposed and we eloped. I hope your not too mad at us for not be able to be in the wedding (you know you would have been maid of honor) but it was really spur of the moment decision.

Well, I've got to go; I can hear Ron coming and we both know what's on his mind (sorry, I know you hate hearing about that!) Anyway, love you and see you in a week and a half.

Love from,

Hermione

A/N: Wow, it's actually over! By my updating habits, I thought it would never end. This is the longest fanfiction I have made to date. When I first started this, it was only going to be three chapters and now its seven! I want to thank all the reviewers, you guys really inspired me to write. I also want to say sorry that you had to wait so long between updates.

Read and Review please, people! And remember I have a sequel planned soon, so keep your eyes peeled for that!
