"Where are we going?" Hermione complained, throwing her head back as she complained to her boyfriend. "Why do we have to go in this as well?" She stroked the material of the car seat that she was sitting on and Charlie chuckled. Being a muggle-born, you'd think that she would be used to cars and wouldn't be moaning as much as she is. "When did you even learn to drive?"

"About two years ago," he answered, indicating to go to the left before driving in that direction. "And I can't tell you where we're going because then that would ruin the whole concept of a surprise." He rolled his eyes but didn't remove them from the road. She didn't remove hers from his.

"But why the car?" This time he did turn to look at her, smirking and adding a wink before turning his attention back to where they were going and she sighed, tilting her head back as she looked at the car's interior and only looking back down when he slowed to a stop and lowered his window.

Her relationship with Charlie hadn't been easy at all - they'd first began two years ago, starting a friends with benefits sort of relationship, sharing a bed every now and then to relieve the stresses and demons that still rocked their world even after the war. Feelings had soon gotten involved and they began their relationship after six months of just sex - then they decided to keep it secret, trying to reduce the chances of Molly trying to plan a wedding like she'd done for George, Ginny and Ron already.

Many arguments had sprung up between then and now, Hermione wanting to tell everyone instead of hiding it and having to lie to her friends whereas Charlie wanted to keep it as a secret. They'd only just told everyone last week and immediately the wedding planning had begun, giving the couple a headache.

"We're here." Having been caught in her thoughts, Hermione hadn't catalogued where they'd gone. A movie theatre. A drive-in movie theatre. "So? What do you think?" Charlie asked, parking the car and turning the ignition off. "I thought we could have a nice, romantic date since we've only had arguments and planning lately."

"Aw, Charlie," she cooed, leaning over to kiss him on the cheek. He turned his head at the last second and captured her lips in a sweet kiss. "I love you."

"I love you too."

The two nestled down in their seats, their seat belts unbuckled and Hermione resting on his lap almost immediately with her legs stretched over the gap between the two seats and her feet resting on her previous seat. His hand rhythmically stroked up and down her back beneath her shirt and it wasn't long before he wasn't interested in the movie that was playing.

Only a few seconds later and her breath hitched and she wiggled on his lap. His answering groan was enough for the two and they soon forgot that James Bond was playing on the big screen.


As they caught their breaths from their activity, the two were snuggled with Hermione watching the ending of the movie whilst his looked down at her with adoration in his eyes.

The credits started before being abruptly cut to turn to a black screen. He watched her brow furrow with confusion before her whole face turned to shock when the next words appeared.

Hermione, will you marry me?
