A/N: I'm not particularly  happy with how this chapter turned out but meh- Enjoy-

Marina's P.O.V:

I was currently in my room watching Pansy, Daphne and Ginny destroy my wardrobe looking for the perfect outfit for my date with Draco. Draco had brought up how we hadn't had a proper date and decided he wanted to go on one today. He had asked me out 3 days ago and Pansy, Daphne and Ginny had freaked out and decided to choose my clothes.

I had been waiting for half an hour when finally they walk out of my wardrobe with an outfit. Draco had told me not to dress too fancy and not too casual so I guess this outfit fit that description. It was a dark green turtleneck sleeveless sweater with a black skirt. Daphne also acciod her knee high black boots. They paired this with Pansy's leather jacket. Then Ginny did my make up in neutral while Pansy and Daphne decided what to do with my hair. They ended up curling it so it looked wavey and they put it up in a high ponytail with a few hairs framing my face which were curled even more to set in small ringlets. I loved the whole thing.

It took me 2 hours to get ready which I think was a bit crazy but by then I felt ready for the date. I'd never been on a proper date so I was nervous, I was also very excited.

There's a knock on the door and I quickly answer. Draco is standing there in a dark green sweater with black jeans. We're matching even though we didn't talk about it. I hear the girls squeal and Draco finally looks away from me and his eyes find the girls. He turns back to me and raises his eyebrow. I shrug and take his hand. He pulls me close.

"You look wonderful, Love." He whispers in my ear. I feel my breath hitch. I smile at him and mumble out a thanks. I wave goodbye to the girls and we walk out.

After we walk out of the school's protective charms Draco apparates us away. When we land we're surrounded by trees and underbrush. The sun lights seeps in through the gaps in the trees making patterns on the ground. I look at Draco and he grins at me. He holds up a blind fold. I glare at him.

"Please, Mia?" He pouts. I make a face but nod.

He finishes tying the blindfold. He takes my hand and starts walking, taking me with him. He tells me when to lift my feet and when to duck under the branches. After a while I feel the ground change from sticks and leaves to grass. We keep walking in silence for a while before we finally stop.

Draco walks behind me and places his hands on my shoulders. "You're going to love this." He tells me as his hand goes up and tugs the blind fold off. I gasp. I'm watching a beautiful sun set which is reflected in the most peacefully still lake I have ever seen.

I turn to him with a small laugh and he grins. Behind him I see a single tree and behind that open felids and behind that the forest. Laid out next to the single tree is a picnic. I feel my smile widen so much it starts hurting. Draco pulls me towards it and we both sit down.

"Where are we?" I ask.

"That forest there," he gestures to the forest. "It leads to Malfoy manor, this is Malfoy lake, I come here often, no one except the family knows about this place." He tells me. I can't believe he would show me this if only his family is supposed to know about it.

"It's beautiful." I say. He nods in agreement. "Thank you, for bringing me here..." I say softly. I turns to me, his eyes shining. He pulls me in for a soft kiss.

"I love you, Mia, I'll always love you." He whispers against my lips. He pulls away and grins. "Hungry?" He asks, opening the basket. Yes, I am hungry, considering I haven't eaten anything since breakfast. He takes out sandwiches, fruits, sausage rolls and a salad.

We eat and talk, it's a comfortable feeling being here with him. I've never been happier. We watch the sun set, it paints the sky in pink and orange and blue and purple. I love it.

I'm standing staring at the reflection of the moon in the lake while Draco packs the picnic basket. After a few seconds I feel his arms wrap around my waist and I lean into him.

"Today was amazing..." I tell him. He kisses the tip of my ear and I giggle. He turns me around in his arms. I look at him and I'm surprised to find him looking nervous.

"I'm glad you had fun, but we're not done." He says, I raise my eyebrows in surprise. "I have to say something." He tells me in explanation. He brings a hand up and cups my cheek, I lean into it. "You're the best thing to ever happen to me, I never thought I could be happy but you..." He sighs silently. "You loved me more than my parents have ever and you made me happier than either of them. You were there for me when no one else was and you never left my side. You showed me what a friend was, you showed me what love was. I love you, God! I love you so much! I can't imagine a life without you..." He whispers, running a hand through his hair. I feel tears on the edge of my eyes, no one's ever said something like this to me.

He takes his arms from around me and places them on my shoulder, pulling me away from him so he can look at my face. "I want you with me forever, I want you there every morning when I wake up and I want you there every day of my life. I want to spend the rest of my life with you..." I feel my heart beat pick up. I'm breathing heavily. Is he really? Is he really gonna- He goes down on one knee pulling out a box from his pocket, he opens it.

"Will you marry me?"

I feel my heart explode. I feel the tears stream down my eyes without stopping. I cover my mouth to try and stop the weird choking noises I'm making.

"YES!" I cry. "A thousand times yes! A million times yes!" His smile lights up the world making it bright, his smile is brighter than the moon itself. He stands up and pulls me into his arms kissing me.

He slips the ring onto my finger and I finally look at it. It's beautiful. The band is black with silver vines wrapping around it. The vines have roses on them, my family emblem. The vines with leaves holding up the beautiful green emerald, it's cut in a circle and if I look inside it I can see a rose held in place, it looks just like in beauty and the beast.

I look back up at Draco and kiss him. "I love you, I love you so so much..." I whisper.

A/N: Hehe surprise! Also I'm sorry the discription of the ring sucked- I'm too lazy to find a picture of a ring and I'm not really good at discriptions so yeah- Anyways just wanted to point out that Draco did infact ask Hermione/Marina's mum and Blaise before he asked her to marry him. Anyways next is the epilogue. Bye! See you Feathers!!
