"You look amazing," Ginny murmured.

"Yes, but I still say she should've worn something more interesting," Luna commented.

"It's supposed to be her wedding," said Hermione's mother, "not yours."

"Zit eez still beautiful, if a little dull," Fleur said to Molly Weasley.

"Guys, please. She's still got a good four hours before the wedding so let's give her some space," Ginny said, sensing her friend's discomfort.

Hermione winked at Ginny as they left. If it was up to her only Ginny, Molly and her mom would be helping her with her dress. She still didn't really like fleur that much (even if she was polite towards her) and Luna was honestly...Luna."

Downstairs Neville broke another glass decoration. She couldn't help smiling. Properly, for the first time in a long while. In truth she hadn't truly been happy since Ron had asked her to marry him. She loved him and his family but it just didn't feel right. Crookshanks purred from behind the bed. She stroked the top of his head gently. No, who she really wanted to marry was Harry Potter.

After the war, she, Harry Ron and Neville went back to Hogwarts with Ginny and Luna to finish their educations as none of them really did much in their final year. She had recovered her parent's memories and they weren't very happy with her but thanks to her friends, she convinced them to see that she did the right thing. During that year she decided to take Ron over Harry a) because of Ginny but b) mostly because of Ron taking subjects with her to become an auror. If he wasn't there, she might have seen Harry in a different way back then. The reason she loved him now was because she and Harry had become aurors together and during that time, he had chosen to help her with all her missions, even if Ginny asked him to take her on a date, he put it on hold to help her.

Meanwhile, Neville became Hogwarts herbology teacher, Luna now works at the Ministry in the Department of Mysteries, Ginny is an amazing healer at St Mungo's and Ron works for the department of Magical games and Sports(he failed at auror training but became seriously good at Quidditch). This meant that Harry and Hermione were aurors together, alone, in the same office.

Feeling miserable, Hermione decided to quickly change into her old clothes and go down to the Hog's Head.

It was a bright morning in Diagon Alley. Harry, Ron and Hermione were walking around the various shops. Flourish and Blotts came into view as the trio walked along the crowded area. Just at that moment, Ron grabbed them both and apparated into the Three Broomsticks, took out a ring and proposed. How could Hermione have refused? Nobody had seen her later at her parents' house, when she ran into her old bedroom and sobbed.

That's why she was in the Hog's Head instead of the Three Broomsticks. She didn't want to remember that now. She ordered some fire whiskey and sighed. If only Ron hadn't decided to become an auror and had chosen to work in the department of Magical games and Sports in the first place, if only Ginny had not been on the Quidditch team as captain, then maybe she and Harry could have made something work. Outside she heard a pop. Please don't let it be anyone I know she begged silently. The door opened with a light creak. Hermione nearly fell of her chair.

Please review! I can only update occasionally though, because school comes first and I've got other fanfictions to write.
