Note. So here it is. And I hope you really like it. There's one more chapter after this and it was really fun writing it and I loved all the reviews

It was finally graduation day and Hermione thought she was going to throw up. She walked to the Great Hall in a daze for breakfast and Dumbledore announced there were no classes for the day so Hermione and her friends went out by the lake and began to talk about what they were going to do. They were afraid they wouldn't see each other for awhile but Hermione put a stop to talk like that right away not wanting sadness to spoil their graduation. So talk went of course to jobs and relationships as Ginny was one to gossip.

Harry, Ron, Draco and Blaise were all pleased to have been accepted into the aruror program and Luna in a surprising decision had decided to be a herbologist with Neville. Ginny had decided that no drama was happening without her and if Harry was risking himself so would she but Harry had begged her not to and she had finally relented and decided with Hermione. On being a healer. (although Hermione's schedule would be much more flexible due to her connections. And her adorable baby.) Lavender hadn't decided between teaching or healing and Ron was patiently waiting for her to decide. She was leaning toward teaching and was trying to stay at Hogwarts but if she couldn't she'd be a healer. The rest of their friends had mostly taken jobs at the ministry while a few had opened shops in Diagon alley taking a cue from Fred and George.

Hermione and Draco picked where they were staying and finally told them they'd gotten a small house in London. It was near both jobs and most of their friends so Hermione was happy. They continued talking through the day stopping only for lunch and finally everyone left to get ready for the ceremony and Hermione and Draco were alone. Holding out his hand to her he led her upstairs to her room where she saw a beautiful emerald green dress and a pair of sparkly shoes. Immediately letting go of his hand she ran to her bed and picked up a shoe holding it to the light and watching the colors with a smile. Hearing a laugh she turned and Draco whispered.

"Surprise."

"This is for me? Its beautiful!"

He nodded. "Wear it under your robes at the ceremony."

Nodding she agreed although confused as to why. Smiling he kissed her before going to get ready. Hermione shrugged to herself before staring in the mirror at herself. She quickly got into the shower and toweled off before studying herself again. Usually she had Ginny to help her with this but this time it was just her. Come on. she told herself. You're the brightest witch of your age. Sighing she thought for a moment before beginning. After about forty minutes she studied herself and let out a smile. Then she looked again and began applying makeup. Not a lot. Just enough to enhance what she already had. Then she carefully began getting dressed. When she was finally ready she closed her eyes for a moment and forced herself to open one and look at herself. Hesitantly she opened them both and smiled. She looked okay.

Hearing a small gasp behind her she turned and saw Draco looking at her in awe. "You look amazing." She smiled shyly and took him in before saying.

"You clean up good too."

He grinned at her. "Well I am rich and far above these muggles aren't I?" Hermione looked up angrily until she realized he was kidding so she played along.

"There's the Malfoy we all know and love."

He laughed before offering his hand again and they walked downstairs to see her friends waiting and they walked to the ceremony together. It started with a beautiful speech that made Hermione and Ginny cry effectively ruining their makeup until they spelled themselves. Which I actually could've done in the first place now that I think of it. Then they found themselves beside Dumbledore and watched as the students smiled and soon the ceremony was over. Hermione felt a deep sadness wash over her and could tell her friends felt the same. Nonetheless they began taking pictures and smiling.

They had so many students around them it was hard to keep all their friends straight. As a thank you to everyone that had stuck up for her Hermione had gotten little gifts of appreciation. After about fifty pictures they began talking and laughing again until Dumbledore presented Hermione with her son. She almost cried when she saw him. Dumbledore had spelled a uniform with Slytherin and Grifyndor colors. She was so touched by the gesture.

"With parents like you two we really have no idea where he'll end up."

Hermione smiled thoughtfully. "Well now that we know Slytherin isn't completely made of prats and gits….."

Draco turned to her and she quickly amended. "Maybe he'll be like Harry and get to choose."

They smiled and took a few pictures of the whole group and the group with the baby and then Dumbledore. Hermione was quickly becoming exhausted and her friends were too. In a sweet gesture Dumbledore took the baby saying he'd watch him for the night. He gave Draco a smile that made Hermione wonder what was going on but said nothing. Then she noticed Harry and Ron looking to.

She noticed Draco smiling before taking her hand and kissing her gently and she melted into it. Smiling he kept her hand and knelt on the ground and it seemed time literally stopped. All the students seemed to stop what they were doing and began staring and Ginny and Lavender placed themselves in front of Pansy to stave off any drama.

"Hermione, I love you. More than I ever thought I could love anyone. I can't imagine my life without you and I don't want to. Please marry me."

And that's it for now please review!
