In the last year, Ron had been going with Harry to Auror training every three months for two months. Hermione had gotten used to it; however, every time Ron came home, she greeted him with just as much passion as the time before. In another year, Ron and Harry would have their Auror training complete.

Percy and Audrey had had their wedding and luckily, Ron and Harry had been able to make it.

George had announced that he and his girlfriend, Angelina Johnson, were engaged. Hermione hadn't seen him as happy as he was when he told the family since Fred had been alive.

One foggy day in October, Hermione and Ginny were waiting at the platform for the Auror train to arrive. The way they had organized Ron and Harry's training, they had both missed Hermione's birthday. Hermione didn't mind however, for they had both sent her gifts while they were at the camp. Hermione didn't care if they missed ten years' worth of birthdays, as long as they weren't gone for the whole year, she was fine with the arrangement.

Hermione squinted up and down the tracks, desperate to see the train coming.

Ginny grinned. "Hermione, the train's not going to come any sooner if you keep doing that."

Hermione stepped away from the tracks and closer to Ginny. "Sorry Ginny, I just really want to see them, you know?"

Ginny nodded. "I do. I have to admit, this arrangement is better than Harry and Ron being away for a year, but it does become an annoyance."

"Well, it's only another year, and then they'll be with us forever." Hermione smiled at the thought. She already knew that she would be spending her life with Ron. She loved him more than anything else, and the way he always was looking out for her, she knew he felt the same way.

"Hey, the train's coming!" Ginny exclaimed, seeing the scarlet engine in the distance.

Hermione's heart jumped to her throat. After seven years of knowing Ron and three years of being together as more than just best friends, her stomach still fluttered at the thought of seeing him.

The train came to a stop on the platform and Hermione and Ginny watched as unrecognizable Aurors-in-training came streaming out of the train. Hermione craned her neck to find either a vivid redhead or dark-haired man.

"D'you see them?" she anxiously asked Ginny.

"No," answered Ginny, sounding equally fearful.

They both searched the growing crowd for Ron and Harry. Hermione was beginning to panic when Ginny called to her. "Hermione! HERMIONE! I found them!"

She turned to see Ginny pointing over to Hermione's two best friends, who were both getting off the train.

As if reading each other's minds, Hermione and Ginny both shouted out to the two men: "RON! HARRY!"

Ron and Harry, whom had been searching for them, both looked in Hermione and Ginny's direction, their faces breaking out into grins. Hermione smiled back as they both hurried over to them.

Ron approached Hermione, and she was suddenly lost in their private world. She was hugging him and kissing him with more passion than ever before, and he lifted her off her feet, his body language clearly saying that he was never going to let go.
