I own nothing. Sorry for the late update!
"Hermione," Astoria said shaking me, "Wake up."
"What is it?" I said pulling the blanket over my head.
"I think Draco is going to ask me to marry him," she said with a soft scream.
"What was that?" I said pulling the blanket down.
"Draco told me that he wanted to marry me and that he hated that he didn't have control over the time that things were coming and now I think he's going to ask me to marry him," she said quickly.
"Wow," I said my eyes wide, "What are you going to do?"
"I don't know," she said sighing, "I want to marry him too, but things are going too fast."
"Yeah right," I said rolling my eyes.
"What do you mean?" she asked confused.
"Did you ever stop to think that things are going so quickly because they're meant to be?" I asked sitting up, "I mean everyone knew you and Draco were going to get together and everyone knows you're going to get married. Now, I say stop thinking and let things come."
"Didn't I tell you that last night?" she asked cocking her head to the side.
"Probably," I said smiling, "We seems to give each other the same advice a few hours later."
"Let's see how long it is until I have to tell you this," she said laughing.
"I'll be counting the minutes," I said standing up, "Let's get ready."
"I already am," she said spinning around showing me her outfit.
"Oh," I said going to my bag, "Okay, then let me get ready."
I took my bag into the bathroom and quickly took a shower and changed. As I got dressed I thought about Draco and Astoria's relationship. Astoria might have been right when she said things were going too quickly.
Although every time I looked at the two of them together I knew that things were going to go great with them, as long as they didn't mess it up. Things for them were going to get a lot harder.
They were supposed to be together though. How could things be so hard? I know that nothing is ever easy, but if this is happening to Draco and Astoria then what was going to happen with George and me?
"Are you ready Hermione?" Astoria said knocking on the door.
"Yeah," I said opening the door.
"What's up with you?" she asked leaning against the door frame.
"Just thinking," I said shrugging.
"About what?" she asked cocking an eyebrow.
"You and Draco are having all these issues and you're supposed to be together," I said sighing, "What does that say about me and George?"
"Am I going to have to knock some sense into you again?" she said smirking, "You and George are not Draco and I. Anyway, Draco and I are doing good we're just having trouble timing everything."
"What if we…" I tried to say before Astoria put a finger to my lips.
"No what if's," she said firmly, "Let things play out. And twenty-seven minutes."
"What's twenty-seven minutes?" I asked confused.
"How long it took before I had to say that to you," she said turning around and walking to the door, "Are we leaving now?"
"Yeah," I said laughing, "Luna, Harry, and George should be in the Ravenclaw Common Room."
"What about Draco?" she asked curiously.
"I'm not sure," I said honestly, "He didn't tell me."
"I'm worried about him," she said softly, "Something is going on and he's not telling me."
"He'll tell you when he's ready," I said opening the doors to the Ravenclaw Common Room, "Hey guys."
"Hey," George said walking up and kissing my cheek, "How did you sleep?"
"Good," I said smiling, "How about you?"
"Had some good dreams," he said smirking, "But too many people to explain that."
"Oh," I said blushing slightly.
"Enough love whispers over there," Harry said with a laugh, "Let's go get food.""
"Yeah," Astoria said brushing her hair out of her face.
"After we eat I'll go talk to Draco," Harry said knowingly.
"Thanks," she said smiling.
"Can we talk Hermione?" George said as we began to walk off.
"Sure," I said waving for the rest of the group to go without us, "What is it?"
"We didn't really talk that much yesterday," he said taking a deep breath, "Just wanted to tell you how much you actually mean to me."
"Then tell me," I said smiling.
"Okay," he said sitting down on the couch and motioning for me to do the same, "For the first few years I just thought of you as my little brothers friend, but then I saw you at the Yule Ball I knew I liked you. I wanted to tell you, but I thought you liked Ron. I didn't want to say something and find out you don't like me that way. Merlin, when I saw you in that dress. You were the most gorgeous person I had ever seen."
"George," I said wrapping my arms around his neck.
"I wanted to be with you," he said calmly, "Fred kept telling me that I should tell you that I liked you, but I was afraid. I wish I would have listened to him and told you back then. Maybe we would have a family by now."
"Oh George," I said kissing his lips passionately, "I love you. I never liked Ron. I've liked you since I first came to this school."
"Why didn't you tell me?" he asked softly.
"Because I was so young back then," I said shrugging, "I thought you deserved someone better than me."
"Hermione," he said running a hand through my hair, "You are the best thing for me."
I let a smile cover my lips and kissed George once more. As we kissed I felt complete. George was the person that I loved the most and he loved me back. Then I pulled back when I realized what George had said.
"You want to have a family with me?" I said my eyes wide.
"Yes," George said smiling, "I know that it's really soon, and I'll wait until you're ready, but I do want a family with you. You want a family too, right?"
"Of course," I said nodding, "I've always wanted a family."
"A little too much though," he said sighing.
"No," I said grabbing his face and making him look at me, "I know it would be better if we wait a little while though. So we know that this is what both of us want."
"I won't change my mind," he said instantly, "But you're right. We can wait."
"Thank you," I said kissing him again, "Let's go meet up with everyone."
"Okay," he said standing up and bringing me up with him, "I love you Hermione."
"I love you too," I said grinning, "Now come on."
"You got it," he said throwing me over his shoulder and walking out of the room."
"George," I yelled with a laugh.
