Rozzy is alive! Hey guys, sorry I haven't been able to get on here for the final few chapters. I've been crazy busy (not to mention trying to write a novel, and failing - I've only written like half of what I should have by now) but anyway I'm back now.
Thanks so much for all your reviews last chapter! It was amazing to see so many of you invested in my story ... you all seemed so relieved that Bradley was finally gone! (Believe me, I was too.) If you can't remember what the hell I'm talking about, because it's been way too long since I updated, maybe you should go back and read the last chapter or two ;)
Shoutouts to everyone, because you are amazing: ctc, SilverLily1, whispered touches, glowyrm, ForbiddenLove7, 91698padfoot, bookworm1256, Little Emily, Senorita Sassybuns, Sugarplumjellygum, SparkyDorian, werewolfatemyphoenix, yellow 14 and purelywhite-nami. Legends!
Again, this prompt doesn't have a whole lot to do with what happens in the chapter, but it did help inspire it so I guess that's okay.

WednesdayThere is a knock on the door and Harry emerges to open it, still doing up the buttons on his dress shirt. Ron and Hermione are in the doorway, smiling and dressed for dinner at a good Muggle restaurant.
"Oh, it's you two," says Harry. "Since when do you guys knock?"
There is an awkward pause. "Oh, er… no reason," says Hermione, still beaming. "Are you two ready to go? They said they wouldn't be able to hold the reservation if we weren't there by eight."
"I'm ready. Ginny's still doing her hair but she won't be long," says Harry. "How are you two?"
"Oh, you know…" says Hermione, as Ron says "What?"
"Big day, eh?" says Harry wryly. "Me too. I was ordered to tail a bloke who was seen acting suspiciously in Knockturn Alley and wait for further instructions. I followed him to Cardiff and back before anyone realised it was Traynor in disguise."
"Sorry?" says Ron. He's jiggling his leg distractedly.
Ginny appears from the bathroom. "I'm ready!"
Harry isn't listening. "What is up with you two?" he asks.
"What do you mean?" asks Hermione, trying in vain to suppress her smile.
"You've been grinning like idiots since you got here, and Ron's acting like he's been Confunded."
The two of them share a glance, as though communicating without words. Ron rolls his eyes with a look that clearly says he's lost the silent debate, and Hermione turns back to Harry, looking positively radiant.
"We're getting married!"
So yeah, I was trying to say that Hermione looked like an angel because she was radiantly happy but I couldn't quite find a way to put that into the word count, haha. Plus it was kind of Harry's POV and I didn't think he'd really say (or think) that.
Apologies to Senorita Sassybuns for including a marriage proposal ... hopefully it is not cliche though, since a) it is not the end of the story yet, b) we didn't see the actual proposal and c) it's not Harry and Ginny. Feel free to condemn me anyway, heh.
Please review!
