Chapter Nine

Valentines Day

The next month passed by really quickly, Hermione still remembering Hans' threat. She had told the others and they had all been furious, even the normaly happy Alice threatened to kill him if he harmed her.

Finally, it was Valentines Day and Hogwarts had given the students the day off. It was sunny, so Hermione spent most of her day inside. She borrowed Harry's invisibility cloak and went to visit Ron's Grave, which was on site in a shady spot that had been their special spot. Once she was there, she pulled off her cloak and sunk to the ground beside his grave.

"Hi, Ron. I'm sorry I haven't visited in a while. There's a lot going on. I have a new boyfriend; have for a while now. Edward Cullen. I'm also a Vampire, so is Edward. Edward had to bite me to save me after Rodolphus Lestrange tried to kill me. But there's a Vampire Hunter at school." Hermione continued to tell Ron all about her life so far.

She was still there when the sun set and Edward entered the school grounds. He followed Hermione's scent and found her beside Ron's grave, tracing his name and the words on the head stone. Edward smiled sadly and suddenly felt like he was intruding. He turned to go, but Hermione stopped him.

"Don't go. Please." She begged. Edward turned back. "I didn't mean to interrupt. I was looking for you. They're starting a fireworks display before the feast. I know you can't go to the feast, so I wondered if you wanted to sit outside with me." He smiled.

Hermione nodded and got her feet. "Bye Ron. I'll always love you." She whispered, kissing her fingers and brushing them against the marble stone that bore Ron's name. Edward took her other hand and the two walked to a hill where Edward had put a blanket.

The two Vampires had just sat down when a burst of colourful light filled the sky accompanied by a bang. Hermione's eyes lit up in joy as she watched them. Edward wrapped an arm around her and she curled up beside him.

The fireworks came in array of colours and shapes, including hearts, unicorns and dragons. It was perfect. After the show, one by one, everyone headed inside except from Edward and Hermione.

Music drifted out to them from inside the Great Hall, where the tables were set out as two seats each with a large table to one side for those who didn't have an other half and the staff.

Edward got to his feet and bowed slightly, offering a hand to Hermione. "A dance, my lady?" He crooned. Hermione giggled and accepted. The two twirled across the grounds, lost in each other.

Hermione had put on a black dress and sandals while Edward was worn a pair of trousers and a button down white shirt with black shoes. They were a beautiful sight as they danced.

Harry and Ginny sat opposite each other by a window, which had been enlarged so it went from ceiling to floor. Ginny smiled at Harry and he returned it with a wink. She giggled and turned to look out the window. Her breath caught as she saw Edward and Hermione. "Harry, look." She breathed.

Harry turned and too saw the couple. The half moon's light fell on them and they danced in perfect harmony. "Wow." He gasped.

He and Ginny weren't the only ones that had noticed and all over the hall, the students were watching the beautiful couple as they danced. Finally they stopped and the man took a step back.

The two stopped their dance as the music ended and Edward stepped back. "Edward? What's wrong?" Hermione asked, confused. Edward said nothing, only slipped down onto one knee. Hermione gasped and watched as Edward pulled out a small red velvet box out of his pocket.

"Hermione Jane Granger, although we have only been together for a few months, I have found myself deeply in love with you. You saved me from myself, helped me to believe I wasn't a monster just because I was a Vampire. For that I will always love you. I promised you forever, and I intend to keep that promise and be by your side as a Husband and a mate. Hermione, will you do me the honour of being my wife?" Edward smiled, opening the box to reveal a stunning ring.

The diamond was huge and set in a soft gold band with forever carved on it. Hermione was speechless. "Yes. Yes, I will marry you!" She gasped, jumping into Edward's arms and capturing his lips in passionate kiss. They pulled away and Edward slipped the ring onto Hermione's finger. It was a perfect fit.

The whole student body watched as the man pulled out a box and said something to the woman. She was shocked, but soon leapt into his arms and the two kissed. They broke apart and the man slipped a ring onto her finger. Ginny sighed. "They're perfect. Hermione's a lucky girl."

Beside Ginny, Lavender was stood with her boyfriend, a boy from Ravenclaw. "That's Hermione? As in Hermione Granger? Wow. That was so romantic. Who's her fiancé?" Lavender gushed. "A guy she met in America. He and his family moved over here to be with her, bought a house in Hogsmede. He helped her get over Ron and the loss of her parents." Ginny replied, her eyes trained on the couple.

Later that evening, the ball began and Hermione had rushed to the Cullen Cottage to get ready. In true Alice style, the pixie like girl had gone all out with everything and Hermione looked stunning.

Her hair was half up and half down with roses in it, charmed to stay in and fresh of course, and her makeup only highlighted her beauty. Hermione's dress was beautiful as well. She wore a white dress reminiscent to the roman dresses. It wound it's way down her legs, resting on her curves, and had a deep v-neck at the front. There was a slit in the side that went from floor to thigh, showing off her legs. On her feet she wore a pair of gold high heels.

As she came down the stairs, Edward was speechless. She was a goddess. He kissed her hand that was adorned with the ring and the two ran at Vampire speed to the castle.

The doors to the Great Hall opened and Ginny watched as Hermione walked in with Edward, both looking perfect as usual. The ring was visible on her finger and Ginny vowed to get the details later. Edward whisked her to the dance floor and the two spent the rest of the evening together. In harmony.
