"Hermione," Sirius called into the bedroom. "Are you ready? they won't be waiting forever." Hermione sighed. They had now been together for just over a year, and it had been wonderful. On both sides. Hermione had gotten the job with Severus, who refused to be called anything else now, and Sirius had gotten a job at Ollivander's. They were living on a healthy salary, almost making much more money than they knew what to do with. Sirius took a bit of his and bought Hermione a fair few gifts, one of which she was wearing right now, a simple diamond necklace.

They were going to a picnic, with a lot of others, or a lot to Hermione. She really had never been good in crowds.

"I'm almost done, Sirius. I'll be out soon." Hermione put on the finishing touches to her makeup, and then looked back at her self. At twenty-eight, she was still good looking. her hair was almost to her butt, and the messy curls that had plagued her for most of her school life had smoothed out finally into softer curls. she loved the look of her hair in contrast to her black tank top and her blue jeans. It was a look Sirius loved on her. She grabbed a knit shrug, also in black, just in case she got cold. It was the middle of Autumn, it could get cold.

"Are you done?" Sirius asked her, looking into the room. She looked amazing, as he knew that she would. Even more so with the way that shirt hugged her breasts, and Sirius could guess which bra she had on.

"Yes, you nosy thing, I am done," Hermione said, giving him a chaste kiss. "Let's go." They apperated out of the house, to park that they were going to meet every one. They all arrived in order. Harry and Ginny popped in with their newborn, followed closely by Remus and Luna, who were also together, only coming together after Sirius and Hermione got together, but not many people had seen them together, or even knew how they got together. Tonks came with her new husband, Severus Snape. But, they both seemed happier together, so no one questioned it. Some people even encouraged it, seeing as they were that happy together. Neville came with his new girlfriend, Katie Bell, and to finish off the party was Draco, with of all people a mudblood a year younger then him.

"Hello, all!" Hermione said cheerfully. "I hope you will all have a good time today, and i wil try not to kill you with my cooking." Every one laughed.

"Oh, it will be fine, Hermione!" Neville said. "Granted, you haven't cooked much at all these past few years, but let's put that aside!" More laughter. that broke any more remaining tension.

"Luna!" Hermione said, holding a glass of punch out for both Luna and Remus. They accepted with smiles. Luna had grown out of her dreaminess that she had in school, but she still was able to see things others couldn't see as easily.

"Hi, Hermione!"

"Hello, Hermione, Sirius. How are you two?" Remus asked in his deep voice.

"Good!" They answered together, laughing when they did. Sirius put an arm around Hermione's waist, and she smiled at him.

"Luna, I was wondering. Not many people know how you two got together. So, how did it happen?" Luna laughed, it having not changed. It still sounded like bells.

"Oh, that is simple. We have always been friends, ever since I found out about him being a werewolf, at school, as he was transforming. not knowing what else to do, I transformed into my animagus form, a white doe, and spent the night with Remus. In the morning, we both came in, and he let me use his chambers for the day, as to not arouse any suspicion as to why I was sleeping in the middle of the day. I agreed, and we shared the bed. Every full moon, we would do that, until he got fired"

"Even then, we wrote all the time, until the war," Remus continued for her. "I was fighting for the order, and she was in the room of requirement. We, sadly had no communication. I felt like the war was adding insult to injury. You already know what happened then. as soon as the war was over, Luna came to me, and she kissed me." They looked at each other, and Luna bit her lower lip.

"Hey now, this is a public place you two!" Hermione joked, laughing at them. Luna actually blushed.

"Yes, we know, Hermione," Remus said, laughing.

"Come on, Sirius," Hermione said. "Let's give these two a little bit of time, eh?" Sirius laughed, and gave Remus a wink and walked away with Hermione, to Neville and Katie. An hour and a half went by, and eventually, Hermione and Sirius got to every one.

"Time for food?" Hermione asked Tonks finally.

"Oh god, yes!" she exclaimed. "I'm, uh, starving." She blushed, and Severus walked up.

"Hello, Hermione. How are you?" Some how, he had managed to avoided her all night.

"I'm good, Severus! And you?"

"I'm fine as well." Tonks and Severus chatted with Hermione for a while longer, until the food was ready. there were steaks for every one, not very big, but all cooked well. Every one enjoyed the food, and the wine and champagne flew a little bit too freely around some people. Of all the people, Sirius was one of the sober ones. He had to be, for what he was going to do after everything was done. The main course and desert were eaten and enjoyed, by everyone. Hermione had had a couple glasses, and had been leaning on Sirius's shoulder. Sirius gave her a kiss on her forehead, and roused her up.

"Every one? Yes, i would like to ask you all to quiet down." Even with the small crowd, there was a lot of noise at the table. "Now, I would like your attention. Hermione, could you come up here with me? I have something to ask you." She looked around, smiled, and nodded. She had no idea what he was thinking.

"Of course, Sirius." She turned to face the others sitting down on the chairs.

"Hermione. I have a very serious question to ask you." He got down on one knee, and Hermione's eyes got wide. "Hermione. My dear, will you marry me?" Hermione gasped, and nodded. She got on her knees next to him, and kissed him. "Is that a yes?" She nodded.

"Yes!" She managed to choke out. He kissed her on her cheek. Every one was clapping, or laughing, even Severus.

"Thank god!" Ginny said. "I thought that you two were never going to get together! Even though you two were going at it like rabbits!" This time, every one, including Hermione and Sirius laughed at that.

"Thank you all for coming here today," Sirius said, smiling as well. "Now, I think it is time that we, as Ginny so aptly put it, go at it like rabbits." They heard a mix of laughter and groans as they disapperated.
