I am getting into the habit of slightly longer oneshots. Whoo!
Anyways, sorry for the longer wait, I wanted this one to have some clever humor in it.
It might not be clever to you, but I thought it was super clever.
Wooo, as always, I LOVE reviews.
Enjoy :)
(Also, I just discovered the line break! Awesome!)
Blissful.
"Are you sure Hermione?" Ginny's worried voice floated through the hallway, greeting Charlie Weasley's ears.
"I am sure Gin, it says positive." Hermione said, distraught.
"Well maybe you did it wrong?" Ginny supplied.
Charlie could hardly believe his ears, it seemed that his girlfriend of a year was pregnant. He used a silencing charm on his feet and crept towards the open door to her study. The two women were hovered over something, Charlie couldn't see, but he assumed it must have been the pregnancy test.
"Did it wrong?" Hermione hush-screeched, "How could I do it wrong?"
"Sorry Hermione," Ginny said, hugging the older witch, "I didn't mean to imply you did it wrong, I just don't understand how the result was positive. Could you explain it to me?"
Rather than stay around and see Hermione explain muggle pregnancy kits, Charlie tiptoed out of the house and apparated to Diagon Alley.
Less than a week later, Charlie Weasley stepped outside of his house with Hermione Granger blindfolded and in a sophisticated black number.
"Charlie," She giggled, "Where do you think you are taking me?"
"Shh!" Charlie stage whispered, "I am kidnapping you, now be quiet so the full effect takes place."
Hermione giggle once more, but stayed quiet. Charlie made sure she was holding onto him and then apparated them both away from their shared house.
Charlie untied the blindfold and said, "Here we are!"
Hermione gasped, they were at the top of a cliff in the middle of the night. She noticed there was a picnic blanket laid out complete with a few floating candles, setting the mood of the night to romantic. She was more captivated by the view from where they were standing though.
The ocean was peaceful, not still, but still peaceful. The moon's adoring gaze caressed the surface lovingly. She could clearly see a few birds flying throughout the sky, shadowed by the moon's fullness. In all, it was a beautiful sight.
"Well Mr. Weasley," She said coyly, "I do believe that you have outdone yourself."
"I am glad to hear you say that, love. Take a seat." He said, and helped her sit down. He sat down across from her, popped open a bottle of fizzy drink, poured himself and Hermione a glass and said, "To us!"
Both of them drank a little and then Hermione asked, "Charlie, why did you get apple cider? We usually drink red wine."
Charlie touched his pocket lightly, feeling the metal through the fabric of his pants. It was now or never.
"Mione," He got down on one knee and grabbed her hands in his, "I have loved you for a very long time. At my brother's wedding when I asked you to dance, I did it because I was already friends with you, but that night, something in your eyes made me fall for you. I love you, and always will love you Hermione Jane Granger. I love you and my child you are carrying. I hope you would do me the honor of allowing me to love you as Mrs. Hermione Jane Weasley." He pulled a ring with a simple diamond in the middle of it out of his pocket and presented it to her.
He looked into her eyes and saw unshed tears, wondering if he had done something wrong, he opened his mouth to ask what was wrong, but was tackled by Hermione.
"Of course I'll marry you!" She said breathlessly and then kissed him firmly on the lips. She drew back and asked, "What do you mean by the child I am carrying?"
"I am so happy for the both of us! We are going to be parents!" Charlie said, eyes blazing with excitement.
"Charlie, I'm not pregnant." Hermione said firmly and then a bit sadly, "Is that why you proposed?"
Charlie's eyes widened, "No! I love you Hermione, which is why I want to marry you." He grabbed her hand and placed it upon his heart, "The only reason this beats is because of you. I love you more than anything."
Hermione's joy returned and she asked, "So how did you get the idea into your head that I was pregnant?"
"Well about a week ago, you and Ginny were in your study arguing over whether the test was positive or negative, I only assumed…" He trailed off, the rest having been explained earlier.
To his surprise, Hermione began to laugh bordering on the edge of hysterics. Charlie looked at her questioningly, "What?"
Hermione calmed herself and said, "I was teaching Ginny simple algebra. You know, muggle arithmancy. She and I got in an argument of whether or not an answer was positive. Sorry that I am not pregnant."
"We can easily remedy that." Charlie said, eyebrows waggling.
"I believe I will take you up on that offer Mr. Weasley."
"I am ever so glad, Mrs. Soon-to-be-Weasley."
The only sounds heard on the cliff that night were those of laughter, joy, and pure bliss.
