Bill and Hermione were at the Burrow with their 'dates', Ron and Fleur. It was just after dinner and everyone was lounging around the living room. Fred and George had gone upstairs to make new products for their shop. Harry and Ginny went to 'chat' outside. Mr. and Mrs. Weasley were cleaning up the kitchen. That left Bill, Fleur, Charlie, Percy, Ron, and Hermione.

Bill made eye contact with Hermione and gave her a hand signal. "Excuse me," Hermione got up and went outside to get Harry and Ginny. When she found them, they were snogging by the pond. "You guys have to come inside. Molly said it was getting too cold out," Hermione said to them and they stopped kissing at once.

"Do we have to Mione? Just tell them that we got lost or something," Harry whined.

"There is a cake inside," Hermione said. Harry and Ginny looked at each other and sprinted to the house. Hermione ran after them. Even though the cake part was a lie, there was still a big announcement to be told.

When she got inside, Bill coming downstairs with the twins for the 'cake'. When everyone was in the sitting area everyone was wondering where the cake was. "There is no cake," Bill said. Everyone groaned and at that point, Molly and Author walked in.

"What is all this about?" Molly gestured to the saddened, slumped over young adults.

"Bill and Hermione said there wuz ze cake 'ere for us," Fleur looked at Molly with an accusatory look.

"Well, I have an important announcement to make and I needed everyone here to do it," Bill said and glanced at Fleur who was sitting up and eager. Bill felt bad because Fleur probably thought he was going to propose to her. Hermione stood up and made her way from the back of the room to the side of Bill. Ron eyed her, interested in where this was leading. "Hermione Granger," Bill turned to her. He got down on one knee and pulled out the prettiest light blue sapphire ring ever. "Will you be my witch forever and marry me?"

The room went deadly quiet. Hermione went pale. Ron's face turned red and Fleur fainted. Everyone else in the room was either really confused or happy and confused. Bill's face looked ready to break down and cry.

Hermione had tears streaming down her face as she looked at Bill. "Yes, yes, yes, yes, a billion times yes," She walked over to Bill and he stood up, placing the delicate gem on her ring finger.

"Finally!" Ginny stood up and did a little victory dance. "What? Did nobody get the subtle hints dropped? Do you really think Hermione needed two hours to study alone, WITH Bill? What kind of family is this?" Ginny walked over or more liked jumped, to Hermione and gave her the biggest hug ever.

"Well, this family was messed up to begin with. If it makes you feel any better, Fleur and I cheated on you guys too," Ron broke the silence. Ginny walked over to Ron and slapped him on the face. "What was that for Gin? They cheated so why can't I? Fleur kissed me first."

"There are differences between a boy and a girl, Ronald. Boys are total arses whereas girls can see right through the shady, lying side of boys. Like you Ron, that's exactly like you and Hermione. And Fleur, you're exactly like Ron. No wonder you two were made for each other," Surprisingly, Mrs. Weasley was the one to snap at Ron. And once again, the Burrow was completely silent. The now awake Fleur had tears streaming down her face and it was all a complete mess in the Weasley household.

"I love Bill and all of you are just going to have to deal with that. And if you don't care, then fine. But if it bothers you, then leave. Because I really don't care at all about what you think. I survived a bloody war for Merlin's sake! And you people practically die over my life choices," Hermione huffed out, clearly distressed.

"Pick a side. If you choose Ron, go to him. If you choose, Mi and I, come to us," Bill says. Surprisingly, Mr. Weasley sided with Ron. Everyone else sided with Bill and Hermione. Fleur was crying so hard that she crumpled to the floor in the middle. Everyone was tired and grumpy so they went to bed without any more talking.
