It's been three years since after the battle of Hogwarts. Hermione and Harry had come to spend the summer as always at the Weasley's burrow. The burrow however since after Harry's proposal to Ginny was pretty much cramped, leaving Hermione and Ginny to sleep on the living room couches and Ron and Harry on mattresses near them. Ron awoke to see the first rays of the morning sun outside. The pinkish gold colors seeped into his head and made him think of ways to propose to Hermione when suddenly he heard a voice. He recognised it as Hermione's firm bossy voice. "Ron I thought I asked you to fix the crack in that wall."
Bloody Hell thought Ron to himself 'She's speaking like we're a.......' a gin spread on his face as he thought of two words ' married couple'. Hermione ofcourse did not know that she was sleep talking or that Ron of all people could hear her. A moment later Ron heard Hermione say something else something that made him realise that he should propose to her that very day. He had heard her say"Ron I know I am an annoying know it all but I love you as much as one should love their life and more. Ron will you marry me?"
After that Ron heard no more of her sleep talk.
That day after lunch, Ron asked Hermione to meet him in his room. When she had done so he shut the door and faced her, seriousness in his eyes. "Hermione I need to ask you something-"
"Me too Ron"
"Fine why don't you go first"
"No its okay you go first"
"We'll say it together"
"Okay"
"Hermione"
"Ron"
"will you marry me?". There was a moments silence which was broken by both of them breaking into a fit of laughter at the idea of both of them proposing to each other at the same time.
"Oh I thought you'd never ask." joked Ron which again sent Hermione laughing like a lunatic.
Quickly he pulled out a silver ring with sapphires embedded on it and slipped it onto her index finger.
"Ron" gasped Hermione "It's beautiful"
"Yeah it is but it's not as beautiful as you 'Mione"
Hermione embraced him a hug and stayed there in his arms for quite sometime, she felt safe like that.
"When should we tell everyone that we're e engaged?" asked Hermione breaking the silence.
"How bout today?"
Hmmmm. Maybe we should wait until after Harry and Ginny's wedding. Too much excitement can be harmful for your health you know."
"Only my squirrel's tail haired love would know that."
"Ron. Stop it. I love you."
"I love you too Hermione Jean Weasley"
"Ron I'm not one as yet."
Yeah but in a couple of weeks you will be."
