"I think we need to talk, Hermione."
"Why, there's nothing to talk about, honestly. I think I know what your going to say, and I agree with you. We're not the same people we were then, Ron. I know that, you know that."
"So you think we should break up?"
"I do. I'm sorry, that what you wanted to talk about?"
"Sort of, well, actually no. See, um, actually, I was thinking... wait, you really think we should break up?"
"I don't know, maybe? I mean, you don't seem happy lately. You're always nervous, and I feel like your avoiding me."
"I was, but not for that reason. I was trying to figure out the right way to do something, and every time I tried to say what I wanted to say, my tongue felt like I'd eaten one of George's ton – tongue toffees."
"So, you weren't about to break up with me? That's not what you wanted to talk about?"
"No. I found a flat, it's in Diagon Alley, nearish the joke shop. The rent is really reasonable with our salaries. I think we could afford it if we tightened down a little bit."
"Wait! Are you asking me to move in with you?"
"Yes, and no, I mean, that's part of it, but there's more. I got a promotion, I wanted to celebrate tonight, but then you said you were going out..."
"We can go out, I didn't realize you had something planned. It's just tea with Ginny. I can reschedule."
"I would like it if you'd would, 'Mione. This is really important to me."
"Sure, I'll call her in a minute. Talking about this is more important, so the flat?"
"Yes, the flat. Yes, I am asking if you'll move in with me, but Hermione, I... I'm just going to say this before I lose my nerve, I know you deserve a huge fancy everything, that this moment should be special, but I... I don't have those grand ideas. Hermione Granger, will you marry me? Would you like me to repeat the question? Is being speechless the same as 'yes'?"
"Yes."
