A/N: I gave in to all the begging, so here's the epilogue. I did notice how many people reviewed when I said that this story was over, but I might write an epilogue…

Two years later

Hermione walked into the birthday party of one of her co-workers at the Ministry of Magic. A huge banner hung from the ceiling, exclaiming, "Happy Birthday, Jenna!" Hermione grinned encouragingly at Draco, who she had arrived with. Draco rolled his eyes at her enthusiasm, but smiled back. For some reason, he looked kind of nervous. Hermione spotted Ginny in the crowd of people and waved. Ginny waved back and started heading over.

"Do you mind?" Hermione asked Draco.

"Hmm? Oh, go ahead. I have someone I wanted to talk to myself."

"Okay. I'll be right back." She kissed him on the cheek and walked over to Ginny.

"Hey, Ginny!" she greeted her friend enthusiastically. "How's your first year at the Ministry going?"

Ginny shook her head. "As if you didn't know. My boss treats me like an imbecile, but it pays well."

Hermione shrugged. "Everyone treats new workers like imbeciles. Soon, you'll move up in status and actually be respected for a change. Oh, are you still with Blaise?"

"Yeah," Ginny replied. "He works in my department, which is nice."

"Must be. You can actually see your boyfriend during the day."

"Oh, yeah, I forgot. You and Draco work at opposite ends of the building, don't you?"

Hermione sighed. "Pretty much." Then, she spotted something. "Hey, why is Fred here? He doesn't work at the Ministry."

Ginny followed her line of sight until she saw her brother. "No, he doesn't. But Angelina, his girlfriend, is really good friends with Jenna. Hey, is he really talking to Draco?"

Hermione moved so she could see who Fred was with. "Yeah, I think so. That's weird."

"Yeah, it is." Ginny looked puzzled. "They hate each other, don't they?"

"That's what I thought. I suppose we'll learn about it later, though. Draco will tell me."

Ginny nodded. "Then, you tell me. Oh, Jenna!" she called.

A woman with long, shiny brown hair turned around. "Ginny! Hermione! I'm so glad you could come!"

"Happy birthday!" Hermione said.

"Where's Draco?" Jenna asked. "And is Blaise here?"

Ginny pointed. "Draco's over there. Blaise is… here somewhere, I guess." Someone came up behind Ginny and hugged her around the shoulders. "Oh," Ginny said. "He's right here."

"How'd you know it was me?" Blaise asked, moving so he was next to Ginny instead of right behind her.

Ginny rolled her eyes. "Because I know you."

Blaise grinned. "Of course. Happy birthday, Jenna."

Jenna smiled, too. "Thanks. Oh, do you mind?" she asked as another friend waved at her.

"Oh, no, go ahead," Hermione replied. Draco had just beckoned to her. "I'll be right back."

Draco still looked nervous. She wondered what was up with him. "Hey, Hermione," he said. "Um, can we talk? Over there?" He pointed to an empty part of the room.

"Sure," she said, perplexed. "What's up?" she asked when they stopped.

"Hermione." Then, to her complete astonishment, he knelt, and said, "Will you marry me?"

Hermione saw a movement over Draco's head. It was Fred, standing next to Angelina, grinning from ear to ear. He was giving her a thumbs up. She looked back at Draco's face, and nodded. "Yes," she whispered. "Oh, God, yes."

A/N: That's the end. Hope you loved it. Glad you all reviewed so much (and if I have any new readers, you had better review). Love you all.
