Where does Hermione decide for them to go?

Hermione's Hometown

Making her choice Hermione they traveled to her home in the Hampstead Garden Suburb. Thus, walking through the empty streets Hermione could not help but look at it sadly. It appears Adam and Eve failed to mention how much time had passed as already nature had begun to play its role and retake what society had taken from it.

"I remember this place." Hermione said as she let her hand grace across the fence, they were walking by with Buckbeak in tow. "Walking to and from the library sitting in the park to read a book, being teased and made fun of for being a swotty bookworm..." Hermione listed off the things she left behind. "I always hated the bullying but now I wonder..." Hermione trailed off only to gasp a bit when Harry took her hand.

"We still have each other... that should be enough." Harry said as he wanted to comfort Hermione.

"Yes, I suppose so." Hermione said and thus the two shared a hug with each other "Remember the Forest of Dean when I said we could throw in the towel and grow old there?" Hermione asked as she looked to Harry.

"Yeah, I remember... I almost took you up on that if we're being honest." Harry said as he looked saddly.

"Oh? Why didn't you?" Hermione asked as Harry sighed in defeat.

"Ron fancied you and I was so focused on pleasing others..." Harry trailed off and thus Hermione understood.

"If I had known... I would have turned him down dumped him told him we wouldn't work out." Hermione said kicking herself for not realizing this sooner.

"It's fine." Harry said as he was getting past it.

"No, it's not." Hermione said and in turn she wanted to be selfish for a bit. "Harry... can... can I be selfish with a request?" Hermione asked looking to Harry with a look of love and desire.

"What is it?" Harry asked as while looking to Hermione.

"Can we marry?" Hermione asked causing Harry to go wide eyed to this.

"W-what?!" Harry asked as he looked to Hermione surprised at her offer.

"I want us to marry here in my old hometown." Hermione said gesturing to the empty street. "If we are to be Adam and Eve then we need to be married... and I want our union to be remembered for history to come." Hermione said taking Harry's hands in hers. "And more so I love you Harry not the boy who lived not the new father of mankind but you Harry Potter." Hermione said and in turn she hugged him close. "I want to be Hermione Potter... if you will have me as such." Hermione said and thus Harry could not help but smile before hugging back.

"Of course... we'll marry." Harry said and in turn Hermione smiled to this.

"Very well then even if we cannot have guests to our union, we can make do with what we have." Hermione said and thus got to the important parts. "And while I would have liked to have a pure white virgin dress we can make do with other uses." Hermione said and in turn Harry smiled.

"What do you have in mind?" Hermione asked and in turn Hermione smiled back to Harry.

"I will construct a makeshift wedding veil, and a bouquet of flowers while you work on clearing the roads leading to the Church." Hermione said as she made her plan known. "While you're at it you will construct a carriage to be pulled by Buckbeak in honor of our flight together." Hermione went on adding to the plan.

"I'll head on to the Church itself and prepare it for the celebration." Hermione said as she wanted the best for Harry and herself.

"Buckbeack can you donate some of your feathers for this?" Harry asked and thus Buckbeack nodded and presented his wings. "Not now just when Hermione needs it." Harry said causing Hermione to smile.

"The route will start at my childhood home pass by the local library and take me straight to the church." Hermione said pointing out the landmarks the carriage would go. "We can rest in my parents' home for the night, but you have to be up early mister to prepare Buckbeack and wait for me at the Church the groom should not see his bride until she's walking down the aisle which means none of this." Hermione added cupping her breasts for added effect.

"What will you due for make up?" Harry asked as he hoped to see Hermione just like she was in the Yule Ball.

"Wait and see." Hermione winked and in turn she began to take Harry's hand. "Now come along we need to prepare." Hermione said and began to guide Harry through her home to get their makeshift wedding done.
