Disclaimer: I don't own Harry Potter. If I did, one- I would not be here writing about it, and two- I would not have included the epilogue to completely screw up people's dreams of DMHG.

Setting: After Hogwarts and the war.

Summary: What might have happened after the war, if Draco and Hermione had chanced to meet. *The epilogue in the 7th book is completely disregarded, and the characters are a bit OC.*

Chapter 7: Pwetty Fwower

That night she was going on a very formal date with Draco, it was their four month anniversary. She decided to wear a dark brown dress that complemented her curves, high heels, and some simple jewelry; then she let her hair fall over her shoulders in soft curls. Draco picked her up at seven and took her to one of the nicest restaurants in town, La Rev, meaning "the dream."

The evening passed, and they were still deep in conversation when the waiter brought out their dessert. Draco suddenly looked very nervous and quickly nodded to their server, who set down the elaborate chocolate cheesecake in front of Hermione. Her eyes widened as she saw an extra sparkle in the chocolate, and turned to see Draco kneeling before her.

"Hermione," He started bravely, "I know this may seem sudden to you, but I am completely positive I have met the love of my life." *dramatic pause* "Would you do me the honor of becoming my bride."

The words were barely out of his mouth when she jumped into his arms. Considering that he was kneeling, this action succeeded in knocking him to a more-or-less sitting position on the floor. This caused many stares to come their way, but Hermione was too busy screaming "YES!" at the top of her lungs to notice. Laughing Draco got both of them off the floor and took the ring out of her cake. Kissing her, he put the still icing covered ring onto her finger, showing his claim to the world.

They next weeks were spent planning their wedding. The Grangers were overjoyed that their 'little girl' was happy, and insisted on helping with everything. Ginny was soon in on the action as well. Hermione supposed her quick acceptance meant that Harry had talked to her; in addition to the redhead's love for parties and their details. As for Draco's side of things: his family had died in the war; Pansy was completely mortified by the entire affair, and, much to Hermione's joy, wanted nothing to do with it; while Blaise and most of the others just followed Draco's lead, like usual, and accepted the couple.

The colors chosen were midnight blue and silver, and the elaborate decorations would have made royalty jealous, and a Malfoy proud (which, of course, it did). The wedding took place in a magnificent cathedral and continued with the reception at Malfoy Manor. They their honeymoon in Greece and other places along Mediterranean Sea.

Epilogue

*three years later*

A little blonde boy around two years old came running through the house. Panting he stopped in front of Hermione, who smiled down at him, "Yes, Adrian? Can I help you?"

With big eyes he showed her his hand and said, "Mommy, I twied to pick you a pwetty fwower, but...but…" he started crying, "it cutted me and now I'm bleeding!" His mother gently examined his hand and found a scratch on the palm.

Trying to hide her smile she said, "Let me kiss it and make it better," she proceed to kiss it and make it better. Then she continued, "Now, why don't you show me that mean flower who dared to hurt my son." He lead her out to the garden and pointed at a mangled rose barely attached to its steam. She carefully cut it lose and put it into some water. Adrian saw that he had completed his task, and, smiling, he left in search of another adventure.

Hermione stared at the deep red rose her son had given her, then she looked at the kitchen table and saw another rose. This one made the first rose pale in comparison. It was from her husband, and it was just as red as the day he had given it to her. At the moment, Hermione was very contented with life. She knew it was not perfect, but right now all she wanted was for her rose to stay red for an extremely long time.

A/N: Well, that's it. I hope you liked it! :D I'd be eternally grateful to anyone who lets me know what they thought about it. :) Also, on my home page is the outfit Hermione wore for the dinner, her wedding outfit, and the bridesmaids' attire.
