3th January, 1999

"ARE YOU GETTING MARRIED?!" Ron stared at me in disbelief. "AND WITH HIM?!" he gestured to Draco standing next to me, confused.

The others arrived back at the castle yesterday and Draco and I decided not to wait any longer and tell our friends about our relationship and engagement.
We invited them to the Room of Requirement, which was turned into a comfortable living room for our liking. Among our Gryffindor and Slytherin friends, Luna was also sitting there, only she and Neville remained calm and my blonde Ravenclaw friend smiled happily at us... Ginny and Zabini were remarkably quiet from them too...

The others, Ron, Harry, Parkinson, Nott and the Greengrass sisters, cut into each other's words and threw more and more beautiful insults at each other's faces...
I waited silently for tempers to calm down and for our friends to finally finish the circus.
Although each of them was convinced that our engagement was just a crazy idea...

Draco didn't bother himself, he just casually put his arm around my shoulders and watched the events with a smug face.

"Hermione..." Harry finally turned to me. Poor boy, he looked a bit tortured as he had a large dragon burn on his left neck... At least he managed to catch the illegal dragon egg distributors who were now awaiting their trial in Azkaban.

"Is this true?" Harry looked at us questioningly.

"Draco, weren't you kidding us?!" Nott also stared sharply at his friend. "Are you really engaged to Granger?!"

I guessed that our friends would be shocked and scold the other group but I wasn't prepared for how to convince them of the truth of our feelings for each other... Over the years, we had accumulated too much anger and hatred towards each other and it couldn't dissipate in the blink of an eye.

"Yes, that's right..." I nodded firmly as Draco pulled me closer and kissed me passionately there, in front of our friends...

Suddenly I was out of breath and my legs went weak, but Draco held me tight... I liked his sudden boldness and bravery! He made me confident that he didn't want to hide our affection for each other from the others...

"STOP IT ALREADY!" Parkinson screamed, and Draco let me go but continued to hold me. "Draco, tell me this isn't your grandmother's ring on the finger of this mudblood! PLEASE TELL US YOU'RE JUST KIDDING US!" the girl stared at us with tearful and angry eyes.
"Pansy..." my fiancé finally growled, his grey eyes flashing sharply. "I love you and all, but if you dare to call my fiancee that way again, I'll curse you!" Draco growled darkly.
Parkinson suddenly fell silent and just stared at Draco with a red face. Daphne gently hugged her friend and whispered something to reassure her...

"What, have you converted, Malfoy?!" Harry laughed, shaking his head as if he still couldn't believe what he heard... "Maybe you didn't call Hermione that for years?! Now you come saying that you are suddenly in love with her, you want to marry her, and we should believe that?!"
"Look, Potter." Draco sighed. "We won't tell you everything that happened between us when you were home..." he smiled, and I looked at him questioningly.

Zabini and Ginny were grinning widely, Luna was listening ponderingly and the others were nervously waiting for the continuation...

"Let it be enough that while you were not here, Granger was looking for my secrets and realized from my memories that I have loved her for years..." she blushed a little. "I apologized for the years of hurt that she forgave me and I found out that she felt the same way about me... Then I asked for her hand in marriage..." he laughed happily. "And the rest is really none of your business..." he winked at Harry, who continued to look at us in disbelief, but finally softened.
