Early the next morning Ron awoke quickly dressed and planned the day accordingly. He went to Neville's flower shop to buy some beautiful lilies for Hermione and left a note in her apartment. He knew this would work just right.
My love,
I have a little game for you to play. Play it right and you will find me. Where I am, no one knows. Although it might help a little bit to look at the book you always swore on when we were at Hogworts.
Love,
Ron
Knowing where the book was in her house he quickly found it.
Congrats Hermione,
I knew you were bright. This book also happens to help you with your next clue.
As you walk, you hear trains, and if you pay close attention some people vanish through a wall. Look for a note on the other side.
Love,
Ron
Hermione awoke, the memories of last night played fresh in her mind. Her and Ron had danced, and walked by the pond in the moonlight. He had kissed her hand. But he didn't propose. Hermione remembered that quite well.
Ron had led her to the pond smiling and laughing. Hermione was thinking about how romantic her surroundings were. The moon shone brightly and reflected in the unusually clean waters of the pond by the willow tree. He kissed her hand. Then he talked about his brothers and sister and marriage.
She got up out of her bed and walked down the hall of her apartment where she found beautiful lilies on her table. She read the note recognizing Ron's scrawl.
'I know what book it was!' Hermione thought.She went straight to her bookcase. The bookcase was five feet tall with what seemed like an infinite number of books for the size. She smiled as she came across her favorite book Hogworts: A history. She opened the book and another note from Ron fell out. She thought carefully about the riddle and decided to take the knight bus to the London train station.
Hermione was greeted at the train station with the high pitched tone of a train whistle. She looked around carefully when she reached platform 9 and 10 and went in between the wall. The platform looked so empty and different. There was a note tapped onto the wall.
Hermione,
Even though we met here, there is somewhere else that sticks out in my mind.
Take a ride on the train for one more time,
And look to find the dearest memory of mine.
Love,
Ron
Hermione willingly boarded the Hogworts Express, thinking about her clue. What would stand out there that was so special to him? Was it their first date? Or their first kiss? Suddenly it pieced together. Madame Padifoot's café. The train ride ended before she knew it. She quickly grabbed a sandwich and some hot tea to go, wanting to know what Ron was really up to. She looked around and saw another note on the poster board with her name on it.
Ron Weasley was running out of places to send Hermione. He gave in, he need his sister and best friend to help him. Ron ran quickly to the Leaky Caldron and placed the call.
"Gin, Harry!" Ron yelled through the fire, "Where are you two?!"
"What Ron?" Harry appeared looking very tired.
"I'm proposing to Hermione and I'm making it a game and I'm running out of places to send her!" Ron said.
"Send her back to her apartment." Ron heard Ginny's sleepy voice come through. "Tell her to relax and look pretty because you're taking her somewhere pretty."
"You are aren't you?" Harry asked. Ron nodded.
"I'm going to do it right this time. We talked last night there by the pond and I'm having mum make a picnic dinner. I've sent here to all the places I can think of as special. She's going to be coming to Diagon Alley soon. I told her to talk to Tom so I'll do that!" Ron let Harry and his sister go back to sleep andbeing told he has to call them with her answer.
Ron quickly gave Tom a note with a riddle on it and went to his apartment to prepare for everything.
