Harry Potter One Shots

Ron x Hermione ~ Valentine's Day

A/N: This is going to be after they are completely done with Hogwarts. So they're 19. I believe Hermione would've stayed another year to get a complete education. So, they're 19.

Ron was a nervous mess. His palms were sweaty and his armpits probably smelled. He grasped the black velvet box one more time.

"You got this Ron. Just give her the flowers and tell her you love her. Merlin, I'm bad at this." Ron muttered to himself. Hermione deserved way better than him. Ron tugged on his hair. Merlin, Hermione was perfect. The front door opened.

"Ron, I'm home. How was work?" Hermione questions as she walked in.

"Great. Happy Valentine's Day." Ron smiled. Hermione was taken by surprised.

"Oh Merlin. Now I feel bad. I didn't get you anything. I'm only joking." Hermione smiled. She handed him a watch that was red and gold, the Gryffindor colors. On the outside, the words engraved made Ron's lips curve in a smile.

"It's leviOSa, not levioSAH." Ron muttered.

"I know it's a bit cheesy, but it sure brings back the old days." Hermione smiles.

"It does. I love you Hermione." Ron said, kissing her forehead. Hermione smiled and smelt the flowers.

"These are beautiful, they remind me of the flowers that grew around Hogwarts. Where'd you get these?" Hermione questions.

"I asked Neville to pick some for me. He gladly did. I believe his direct words were, 'I'm had to help anyone who takes interest in plants! Tell Hermione I said hi.' He picked every flower k told him you ever picked in our years at Hogwarts." Ron said.

"You remember stuff like that?" Hermione asked, shock written on her face.

"Hermione, believe or not, I noticed a lot of things. I'm not completely oblivious." Ron chuckled. The nervousness he felt before was starting to disappear.

"Really? Could've fooled me." Hermione smiled. Ron smiled. Now or never.

"Hermione, I actually wanted to ask you something." Ron said seriously.

"Go on then." Hermione said. Ron sighed. He got down on one knee and grabbed Hermione's hand.

"Ever since their year, I've been madly in love with you. I couldn't stop thinking of you. And, after the war, I realized that I could lose you at any moment, I was afraid of that. I'm still afraid. I'm afraid of what the future holds. I will always be afraid. But I want to go through life with you. So, my question is, will you, Hermione Jean Granger, make me the happiest man alive and marry me?" Ron asked, pulling out the black velvet box, revealing the beautiful diamond ring.

His blue orbs found Hermione's brown. For once in her life, Hermione was left speechless. Ron waited for her response. He wanted to marry Hermione. He was completely and totally in love with her.

"Oh my god Ron. Yes! Yes! I will marry you!" Hermione exclaimed excitedly. Ron slipped the engagement ring onto her ring finger on her left hand.
