I hope she likes this, I know she will, Ron thought as he paced the grounds outside the predetermined window. He checked his watch 10 minutes left until 8 o'clock. I hope Harry can get her away from her books.
"Hermione," Harry whined as she was testing him on the ingredients for a potion, "You know I don't care anymore, plus we both need a break, we've been at this for the last 6 hours!"

Hermione just stared at him and shrugged, "Fine Harry I accept defeat…. Just for tonight so don't get too happy." Hermione just smiled and then she realized a certain red head wasn't there anymore. "Where did Ron go?"

"Oh he went to the dormitory, said he needed some rest," Harry said smoothly, looking straight at her. It's almost 8 o'clock better get her towards the window, hopefully this works. "Well I do have one more question for Astronomy; can you come to the window?"

Hermione sighed, "I already told you the name of the systems, but only this last time, take some notes, it helps you know." Hermione trudged her way to the window only to be surprised by a firework display. "Harry, who did this…" but she received no answer, Harry sneaked away up to his room.

"Hermione Granger, I love you so much, I had no other way to express what I feel in my heart, it is like fireworks in my heart every time I see your face, your smile, gosh even your lovely bushy hair." Ron yelled towards the window.

"Ronald Weasley, stop this spectacle," Hermione yelled back playfully, what had she done to deserve this wonderful treatment. Then it all came back to, it's our anniversary.

"Never 'Mione, I love you!" At this point the fireworks starting forming words in the sky; 'Happy Anniversary Mione, I love you and will you do the honor me the honor of being my wife?'

Hermione looked up at this question, could she really get engaged, I know I love him, but this is just such a big step.

"Hermione I know this comes as a shock, but I know we are meant to be together forever, and I want to start that forever as soon as possible, you don't have to answer any time soon, I will wait, no one can ever come between us 'Mione, not Krum or the slag Jessica, it's you and me and that's it, I love you and Happy Anniversary." Ron was content with what he said and walked back inside the castle, leaving Hermione with her thoughts.

Did she really want to say no, no I definitely don't want to say no, I know that he is the one for me, but I can't say yes either, we are both too young, I'll have to think about it, well until then I'll just celebrate my anniversary, engaged or not. Hermione is determined with her answer and hopefully he can accept that.

Ron entered the common room and walked over to Hermione who was sitting on couch. "Hello Love"

Hermione turned around and smiled, "Thank you Ron, I loved it, it was wonderful, I'm so sorry I forgot our anniversary, but there was so much on my mind, I'm so sorry, I love you Ron, Thank…' Hermione was made silent by a kiss. Hermione just blushed.

"I'm the one that rambles, I can't have you take my signature rambling away now can I?" Ron said jovially. "I was serious you know that Hermione."

She just nodded, not trusting her mouth to say the right things.

"You don't have to answer, I meant what I said when I will wait."

Hermione smiled widely, "Ron I love you dearly, and I do want to get married, but I want to wait a bit for us to get engaged."

Ron looked disappointed but gave her a small smile anyway, "I Love you Hermione and I trust your decision. But I can't say I agree with you, but I'll wait forever if I have too."

Hermione jumped out of her seat unto Ron, "Don't be sad, just give it a few more months, plus you know I am a traditional girl, wink wink…"

Ron took a bit to understand what she meant about the 'traditional girl' part, but then he finally got it. "Yes Hermione, I know you are, and I know how to fulfill all your needs of being a traditional girl."

Hermione winked at him and gave him a quick kiss, "'Till then, Good night my love." She turned away from him and went towards her dorm.

Ron sighed and plopped onto the couch, and heard someone coming down the steps, "its okay Harry she went to sleep already."

Harry sat down next to his best friend, "So how did it go?"

"She loved it, but I need to ask her father to marry her, the whole 'traditional' thing. But I'm willing to wait, I love her mate."

Harry looked at his friend and gave a sad smile, he has it so bad, well I shouldn't be talking, and I love my own little red head as well. "Well mate, we have our first exam tomorrow let's get some sleep" Ron nodded and followed Harry up the stairs.


"He what!" the younger Weasley exclaimed.

"He asked me to marry him, but it was so sweet, It was so hard to tell him no." Hermione sighed and screamed into her pillow.

"It's okay Hermione, he'll wait forever for you, I know he will" Ginny said reassuringly.

Hermione nodded, "That's what he said, but I bought myself some more time with telling him to ask my father for permission, so that should give us a couple more months."

Ginny smiled and laughed loudly.

"What is so funny Ginny?' Hermione asked quizzically.

"I'm so happy; you are going to be my sister-in-law!" Ginny exclaimed hugging the bushy browned-hair girl.

The two young girls gossiped for a few more hours until sleep overcame them.

"Good night, Ginny." And all she heard was a slight snore. She lied down and whispered, "Goodnight Ron." She swore she heard him say 'Goodnight Hermione, I love you.' But she scoffed it off and fell asleep to dreams of the sweet day that was going to happen sooner than she thought.
