E is for Emerald
Draco Malfoy dragged Hermione Granger down into the dungeons, gripping her wrist. When they arrived outside the portrait that covered the entrance to the Slytherin common room, Hermione stopped her boyfriend.
"Draco, are you sure about this?"
"Very, very sure. Don't worry, baby, I won't let the meanie Slytherins hurt you."
"That's not what I meant." Hermione grumbled.
"It doesn't matter. I want to show all of those gits my fabulous girlfriend before she gets to shoe her own house." He said, grinning broadly. "Pure." He said, and it was obviously the password, because the portrait swung open. Hermione sent him a look, grimacing at the password, but he shrugged. He stepped inside and pulled her with him.
"WELCOME!" He proclaimed when they reached the end of the small tunnel. "To Emerald City!" Everyone in the common room, which looked to be about most of Slytherin house, turned to look at them.
"What's she doing in here?" Pansy Parkinson screamed, looking between Draco, Hermione and then their intertwined hands. "Draco." She walked up to him and placed a hand on his chest. "Don't do this." She whispered.
"Get off me, Parkinson." He growled, pushing Pansy off him, and Hermione suddenly realised how cute it was when he growled. "Now everybody, listen up right now!" Draco looked the rest of the room. "I would like to make an announcement!" Everyone's head turned, and Hermione could sense they were all scared that he'd hurt them if they didn't. "I would like to introduce you to Hermione Granger, Gryffindor house, sixth year, and the most beautiful girl I have ever met."
Hermione felt herself blush, as a few people started to make fun of them, but Draco shook them off. "She is my girlfriend." More and more people started to criticise them, but he just spoke louder. "And soon to be my fiancé!"
"What?" Hermione whipped around at gaped at him as he got onto one knee. "Hermione Granger. When we leave this hell-house, will you marry me?" Hermione continued to gape before forcing an answer out.
"Y-yes!" She stammered squealing, and before she knew it, Draco was forcing a ring onto her finger, and hugging him. When she looked at the ring after pulling away, she found it to be a massive emerald. So massive, in fact, that it weighed her finger down.
"You like it?" He asked, ignoring the shouts coming from all the Slytherins, as he nodded towards the ring.
"It's beautiful." She whispered.
"It's emerald."
"I can see that."
"It's massive."
"My hand already feels it."
"It cost a lot of gold."
"You didn't have to do that for me."
"You're worth it."
"Am I now?" She giggled and wrapped her arms around his neck.
"You don't deserve that emerald."
"Oh!" She pushed away from him, shocked, but he pulled her back.
"That emerald deserves you."
