Hermione's View

Disclaimer: Again I do not own any of these characters.

"Hermione where are you?" Alicia called from downstairs. Hermione left Ron to talk to her. She looked back to make sure he would be aright with out her. Hermione had changed after the war but not his much and she was worried he kept telling her it was nothing but was it….

Downstairs Alicia had set up a wizard chest board. When Hermione raised her eyebrows at the board Alicia sighed and said, "You promised last night to play." Hermione looked her over carefully, nope not lying. "You know I don't pay attention when I'm nodding off especially now after the war. It is probably hard on you but you didn't see some of the stuff we saw."

Alicia looked up from the board her eyes swimming with tears, "You don't think it's hard as me for anyone else? I was the one brought up to be a death eater, to obey my lord, and to destroy my brother your best friend. Now do you see who hard this is for me?" Hermione gasped so this happiness she had was just show for Harry to make sure he wasn't worried about her.

Alicia calmed down and Hermione said, "Alright I'll play and I'm sorry." Alicia gave a weak grin and made her first move.

After they finished playing (Alicia won) Ginny came and joined them at the table. "Really a pity Mione, that you can get top grades at school but can't beat Alicia at chess." Alicia smiled and said, "Maybe your boyfriend Ron can teach you?" Ron walked in and gave them all a questing look. "What about me?" he asked.

"Nothing, Ron," the three girls said in unison. "Jinx you owe me a soda," Hermione yelled. Alicia and Ginny gave her looks saying what in the world is that. "It's a muggle game when you say something at the same time you yell that phrase and the other muggle has to give you a soda." Hermione's two friends rolled their eyes thinking that Hermione was always going to be a muggle at heart no matter whom much magic she had.

Ron broke the silence by saying, "Hermione uh, want to go on a walk with me and just chat?" Hermione nodded and stood up. They left Ginny and Alicia playing chess and chatting lightly about Harry becoming an auor which both were glad about but were scared for him too.

They stopped at the Weasley's garden and Ron grabbed both of Hermione's hands. "Hermione I know we agreed to get married after the war, if we both survived to get married but I want to make an actual proposal." Ron paused to garb a tiny black box and to drop to one knee. "Hermione Granger will you be my awfully wedded wife by my side always." Hermione dropped down with him and hugged him tight.
