"This is one of the reasons that I love Valentines Day! I love these little candies! They are so good!" Hermione exclaimed cheerfully.
Draco glanced at her in amusement. "I can see that. You're almost out, in case you didn't notice."
Hermione looked at the box in her hands and realized that he was right. "Darn. I only have two left."
"I have one more that I don't want. You can have it."
"Thanks!" She took the heart from him. "Aw, that's one I haven't seen before. It says 'Marry me.'"
Hermione ate it and didn't seem to think anything of it. Draco, however, was in shock. Did she seriously not get it?
Oblivious to the incredulous stare that Draco was giving her, Hermione continued to eat the last two of her conversation hearts.
Obviously that didn't work as well as I had hoped. Now I've got to try something else. Surely she can't miss this one.
XXXTHE DAY AFTERXXXXXX
"I brought you another box of conversation hearts," Draco said as he walked into her flat. "I know how much you love them." Hermione squealed her thanks happily and took the box in his outstretched hand. She pulled out an orange heart and put it in her mouth and she munched on it contentedly. Draco looked at her in amazement.
"Did you just eat that conversation heart?!" I spent HOURS looking through boxes and boxes and even more boxes of conversation hearts just to find enough that say 'Marry me' to fill up a box and she just eats it! Unbelievable. Did she even read it?
Hermione looked confused. That's quite a stupid question for him to ask. Of course I just ate it! He saw me eat it! "Um, yes. Why?"
"Did you even read it?"
"Yes, of course I did. I always read the hearts before I eat them." Why would he ask that? Why does it matter?
"What did this heart say?"
"It said: 'Marry me.'"
Draco waited expectantly for Hermione to get it, but she didn't and he didn't let on that anything was going on.
She poured a small handful of hearts into her hand and one by one, picked them up and read them before consuming them.
"This is bizarre. The hearts are in all different colors, but they all say 'Marry me.'"
"Mm, yeah, that's really bizarre. Maybe they're trying to tell you something," he said, only half-joking. She's being completely obtuse. Must I spell it out for her? "Or maybe I'm trying to tell you something."
"Ha, that's funny, Draco. The only thing that you would be saying to me with those hearts is 'Marry me' but I doubt that..." Hermione trailed off and gave Draco a double take. "No," she whispered. "This isn't happening. Is it?"
Draco looked unsure of if she was happy or disappointed, but he nodded anyway. Her eyes filled with tears. She looked down at the box of conversation hearts in her hands and emptied the whole thing into her hands. Hermione looked at every single one and they all said the same thing. Marry me. Ohmygosh. Ohmygosh. OHMYGOSH! With each heart she read, the amount of tears in her eyes increased.
She hesitantly looked back up at her boyfriend; the tears that had been in her eyes had made their way down her face. "Really?"
He got on one knee and took a ring out of his pocket. "Really. Hermione Granger,"
She whimpered.
"Will you make me the happiest person on the face of the earth and do me the honor of becoming my bride?"
"Of course I will!" Hermione held her hand our and it was shaking as Draco tried to slip the ring on her finger. He held it still as he slid the delicate ring onto her finger. Hermione held her hand out and admired the ring.
"It's beautiful."
