Where Always left off: "Hermione Jean Granger, will you forgive me for everything that happened, and would you please make me happier than I deserve? Will you marry me?"

***

Hermione stared blank and frozen at Draco. Her heart stopped when he started singing, and she stopped breathing when he proposed. She knew in her heart what the answer was, but would she say it? Could she say it? Everyone was staring at her waiting for her response. It was her do-or-die moment now.
She couldn't speak, so she just nodded mutely crying and smiling. Draco looked confused for a few moments and then realised she was saying yes.
He pulled out the ring he'd taken to carrying around. It was a gorgeous piece, one he'd spent ages designing. A slim silver band that had a ruby eyed silver snake with some “scales” in emerald and citrine. He slipped the ring on her finger, feeling her hand shaking as badly as his was. Hermione smiled through her tears and said “I love you.” When she looked at the ring on the side of the band would read:

DAM + HJG 25.6.01

He had consulted with Harry and Ginny on the design and the engraving as after her volatile relationship with Ron the two no longer spoke, let alone breathed in each other’s general direction, and he wanted her to forget the idiots’ jealousy and rantings and he shuddered remembering the weasel promised revenge on them both.

The Broken Wand & Bent Broom, Knockturn Alley

Ron Weasley was brooding and drunk. He hadn't been heard from since Draco and Hermione had started seeing each other and had been very cold when they had separated, going so far as to tell her “you made your choices, now live with them”. Ginny was shocked and when Ron called her friend a slut, -and a mudblood one at that-her and Harry had banished him from their home with several well-aimed stinging hexes pointed at his balls. When Molly & Arthur had been informed of their son's callous words to his once best friend, he was promptly kicked out of the Burrow, barred from Bill and Fleur's, and from the joke shop. Ron was told he was essentially disowned and homeless until he could grow up and apologise, something he'd refused to do because to his way of thinking, he was in the right. But that bitch and her slimy ferret would pay, and pay dearly. He grinned sadistically lifting the glass of firewhiskey to his mouth and started planning how to avenge his pride and hurt. Something for them both to hurt over for eternity. He drained the glass and left for his shitty little room above the bar and began correspondence with some of the remaining living Death Eaters left in Muggle London.
Harry and Ginny stood arm in arm at the bar having watched the beautiful scene unfold before them. They had known what Draco was up to for weeks, and had helped him come up with how to propose in a way that would mean a lot to and for Hermione. Harry knew Hermione better than anyone and the two had come to be like siblings. So much so that Hermione and Harry had changed her name to Hermione Jean Granger-Potter and listed her as his adoptive sibling on all official paperwork, and so Harry could now claim he was looking out for his “big” sister, with Hermione older than him by three and a half months. Harry knew his sister best and they shared an eerily similar taste in music and it came to pass that for Hermione's birthday the previous year; Harry had given Draco the tickets a year ago for Bon Jovi who were playing for one night only at Madison Square Garden in New York City, saying if he had wanted to give Hermione a gift that she would truly love so soon into the relationship, then this was it.
Draco had escorted Hermione via Portkey to the Big Apple, and they had time for a small dinner before they went to the concert and Hermione sang along with every word of every song and explained to Draco that the song Always was her favourite by them.
They had an amazing time and they moved in together after a couple months together. Hermione was living with Ginny and Harry having being miserable after breaking up with Ron, and after Ginny and the Weasleys had taken Hermione's side after a violent argument about her relationship with Draco, Ron was disowned until he could apologise and mean it for saying a nasty stream of abuse and threats to Hermione. Ginny was shocked and angry when Ron called her friend a slut, -and a mudblood one at that-her and Harry had banished him from their home with several well-aimed stinging hexes pointed at his balls. When Molly & Arthur had been informed of their son's callous words to his once best friend, he was promptly kicked out of the Burrow, barred from Bill and Fleur's, and from the joke shop.
Harry had wanted to press criminal charges, but Hermione told him not to bother, that Ron would eventually grow up and apologise but everyone knew he would never admit he was wrong. Ron was a selfish pig who could always find someone else to blame, and for the last eleven years Hermione, Harry and everyone else at Hogwarts and after Hogwarts had ignored it. Now they couldn't afford to anymore. Now he was a danger to them and their families, no matter how much it hurt to admit it.
Ron had gone very Dark, and no one could stop it. Harry Hermione & the Weasleys could only hope and pray that he didn't go six shades of Voldemort on their asses. Harry being who he was had tried to reason with Ron,only to have a strong thirty year old bourbon thrown in his face with a very slurred “fuck you Potter!” after it. Harry had very aptly responded by punching his once best friend in the face and responding with “go fuck yourself”, spinning on his heel and stalking away the tears running down his face once he thought he was far enough away from Ron. He flooed to his and Ginny's house and broke down on Hermione's shoulder crying like he once about a month after the War had when it hit him that his parents, Sirius and Remus were all gone, and he realised looking through all the baby pictures of himself being passed around their laps and he thought he was truly alone. Hermione had been there too, and hadn't told anyone not even Ginny. This was the first moment Harry decided to "adopt" Hermione. As head & heir of the Black & Potter houses, the goblins at Gringotts explained that either Sirius or Lily and James could posthumously adopt Hermione as Harry was head of the two houses, Hermione and Harry had changed her name to Hermione Jean Granger-Potter and listed her as his adoptive sibling on all official paperwork, and bank deeds. This had effectively entitled her to half each of all the Black & Potter Vaults, not that she'd be so shallow as to care about money. But as Harry assured her, it meant that she was sufficiently able to keep herself in books, and to keep her finances clean for the rest of her life. Ginny was overjoyed when she found out what had been done, and it officially upgraded Hermione to Lady of two houses, making her as good as a pureblood according to Ginny's information. Ginny had gone through some of the old Wizengamot archives to find the information and as far as she could tell it was still observed as a tradition. As they were now purebloods Harry had to go and suffer through the meetings. As if being Harry James Potter, the Boy-Who-Lived-Defeater-Of-Voldemort-Brother-Of-The-Smartest-Witch-In-A-Century wasn't a big enough title. Now he was Harry James Potter, Lord of the Noble and Most Ancient Houses Of Black & Potter, the Boy-Who-Lived-Defeater-Of-Voldemort-Brother-Of-The-Smartest-Witch-In-A-Century Member of the Wizengamot & Junior Auror. Now that was a mouthful and a half to say let alone think or write down as his office title when signing a letter. He'd once joked to Hermione that her office title was easy because she was Hermione Jean Granger-Potter, Lady of the Noble and Ancient House of Potter, Smartest-Witch-Of-The-Century-Sister-Of-The-Boy-Who-Lived-Defeater-Of-Voldemort & Head of the Department of Magical Creatures.
