Hermione

Harry opened the door to the beaming face of Hermione, one of his best friends and a person who he was beginning to see as a love interest.

Harry let Hermione in and moved to the kitchen.
Harry poured himself a coffee and put some muffins on a plate for them to eat, and then made tea for Hermione.

Hermione began the conversation by asking Harry if he had read the news, which he said he hadn't.
Hermione reached into her handbag and pulled out a shrunken copy of the Daily Prophet.
Hermione resized it, and then asked Harry to read it.

Harry threw the paper down and looked inquisitively at Hermione.
"Hermione, has anyone proposed to you yet? he asked.
She blushed and shook her head 'no'.

Harry turned his back for a moment and muttered "If I must, I must" and summoned his mothers engagement ring, that he kept in his jewelry box in his room.

Harry turned back to Hermione and sank onto one knee.
Hermione was speechless and had tears dripping out of her eyes.
"Harry?" she whispered,

"Hermione Jane Granger, will you marry me?" he asked, regaining his composure.
Harry let the lid of the box the ring was in open, to reveal a sparkling diamond flanked by two rubies, on a shining silver band.

Harry slipped the ring onto Hermione's finger, before she regained composure and jumped into his arms, screaming 'Yes, YES, YES!"

Harry leaned forward and kissed her softly on the lips, before hugging her for what seemed like hours.

Hermione nuzzled into his chest and muttered that they should go and tell someone.

Harry suggested her parents, while Hermione suggested going to the Weasleys.
