Hermione was sat in the bedroom her and Ginny shared turning the pages of one of her Transfiguration books absent-mindedly. Her thoughts were on something that had been confusing her that day; her boyfriend Ron was acting really odd. When she saw him at breakfast that morning, he looked ill and didn't really talk much. In all the 7 months they had been going out she could only think of one other time Ron had acted like this and she could remember it so clearly…

It was the day Ron had finally plucked up the courage to ask her out. After their impromptu kiss on the night of the battle they had been constantly catching each other's eye and then looking quickly away. They hadn't really talked about it, but they both knew what each other's feelings were. One night the four of them had arranged to out to Hogsmeade. Harry and Ginny were already an item, so Ron and Hermione sometimes used to have entirely different conversations while they had their own. The next thing they both knew Harry and Ginny had slipped out quietly obviously with the intent to get them both alone. What Hermione found out later was that they had both had enough of them skating round the subject so they decided to take matters into their own hands.

I am so going to kill them too, Hermione had thought at the time. She and Ron were walking through the streets of Hogsmeade, which at that time were virtually deserted.

"So… have you got the sudden impulse to kill Harry and Ginny as well?" Ron tenderly asked breaking the somewhat long silence that had developed between the two. Hermione nodded breaking into a nervous laugh. Her friends had set her up good and proper but she was somewhat glad; she had wanted to get with Ron for a while now. A while being two years

"I think we need to talk." Ron stopped pulling her to a nearby bench

"Yeah we do" She sat down thinking about the kind of speech she had practised for nearly two weeks now, ready to tell Ron all her feelings. Unfortunately all that went out of the window at that point and Hermione was left with a jumble of thoughts in her brain.

"Do you regret…that kiss… we had?"

"No." She answered bluntly looking at him with a sad smile. She had done it on the spur of the moment and she exploded with happiness inside when he reciprocated, pulling her of the floor.

"Neither do I. Hermione," he held her hand and turned fully to face her "ever since then I have wanted to tell you this but I couldn't find the courage. I love you. I've loved you probably since I first met you, but I never saw it until the Yule Ball and Viktor bloody Krum. I dunno what I would do if I didn't have you as one of my best friends but I dunno what I would do with out you in my life and with someone else."

Hermione gripped Ron's hand "Ron, I love you too. Ever since Lavender Brown I realised how wonderful I thought you were; your bravery, your kindness and everything about you…even all the arguments we've had. I thought if we were going to die I wasn't going to go without kissing you first. I just wish it wasn't facing death in the face was the thing to reveal our feelings, because I love you Ronald Weasley and have done for a long time."

They kissed, breaking away grinning silently thanking their friends for actually doing something sensible...

A soft knock on the door made Hermione come out of her thoughts. Ginny was leaning on the door and gave a smile.

"Hey, can I talk to you for a sec?"

"Yeah, sure."

Ginny came in and sat down on the bed next to Hermione. She twisted her fingers in her hands, and Hermione noticed she was holding a piece of parchment in her hand. Hermione felt slightly nervous, oh no, she thought, what's going on?

"Ron wanted me to give you this." She handed her the piece of parchment and she opened it to reveal Ron's scrawny writing.

Hermione,

If you look in your trunk you'll find your Christmas present. If you would put it on and then come meet me Ginny will explain the rest.

Love Ron

"What's going on?" Hermione was puzzled. What was going on?

Ginny glanced at the trunk and Hermione reached for it and opened the clasp to reveal a parcel wrapped in white gift wrap. She opened it to reveal something she had seen a few weeks earlier and had instantly fell in love with. It was hanging up in Madam Malkins shop window and Hermione had stopped when she saw it. It was a beautiful floor length light pink dress; it was off the shoulders and had a red jewelled outer rim. Hermione hadn't dared try it on; she couldn't afford it and she knew that so if she tried it on she would never take it off. She couldn't believe Ron had bought it for her.

"Try it on then." Ginny said smiling at her and nodding at the dress in Hermione's hand. Hermione undressed while Ginny silently went over to her own trunk and started to dress in her own clothes. She had chosen a simple blue dress that went down to her knees. She looked at herself in the mirror, deciding that she looked fine and turned.

"Wow!"

Hermione grinned at her reflection looking back at her. She looked glowing; the light pink seemed the perfect colour hanging just right off her shoulders while the length was just off the floor. Hermione smoothed down the fabric and continued looking at herself in the mirror. This was the second time she felt truly beautiful; the other being the Yule Ball. She loved it even more than when she saw it in the window and yet she couldn't believe it was hers.

"You look stunning!" Ginny was in awe of how she looked. She hadn't fixed her hair or make-up yet but she still looked like she was ready to go. She still didn't know this was her wedding day and yet she looked ready for one of the most important days of her life; Ginny only hoped she looked this beautiful on her wedding day.

"I'm still wondering what all this is for?"

"Oh here it's another note from Ron."

Hermione,

I know you look positively radiant even without seeing the dress on you. I could tell in the shop it was going to look wonderful. Hermione, I love you and I want to spend the rest of my life with you which is why I have arranged for us to get married today with Harry being best man and Ginny your bridesmaid. I have it all arranged at the church in the village and all I need now is my blushing bride. I love you, so will you do me the honour of becoming my wife?

Ron

Hermione looked up shocked beyond belief. She was going to get married. She didn't expect it but at the same time it seemed right; she loved Ron with all her heart and she wanted to spend the rest of her life with him as well.It came as a bit of a surprise to her and she somewhat wished he had asked her in person but the gesture was meant to be a surprise so she still thought it was sweet;more romantic. She imagined their wedding day to be meticulously planned but now that she thought about it this seemed so perfect. She had the gorgeous dress, she could soon fix her hair and make-up and she would have her two other best friend there and for her she didn't need anything else except the love of her life.

She looked up "Let's get going, we've got a wedding to get to!"
