Chapter Text
The Slytherins wake up in the morning and they feel the bed for the Gryffindors. They go down stairs to find them and Ron cooking breakfast while Blaise was clinging to Ron with his arms securely around his waist and his face buried into Ron’s neck. Ron every once in a while would pet Blaise’s head tenderly saying, “aww you’re so cute my love,” with a loving smile. The other Slytherins decided after seeing Ron and Blaise that they wanted to do it too. Theo first, he walked behind Neville and wrapped his arms around him and placed a tender kiss to his cheek before resting his head in the crook of Neville's neck. Neville jumped slightly before realizing who it was. “Good morning Theo, did you sleep well,” Neville asked sweetly, running his fingers through Theo’s soft, dark hair.
“Yeah, but I missed you when I woke up,” Theo said, slightly tightening his grip on Neville. “Aww darling, you just looked so peaceful I didn’t want to wake you,” Neville said, turning around and wrapping his arms around Theo’s neck gently tugging him down for a kiss. Theo kissed Neville back passionately. Neville reciprocated that passion in the middle of Ron and Blaise’s kitchen. Soon they stop when they run out of breath. They looked over and Ron was smiling and bouncing lightly on the balls of his feet out of pure excitement. Blaise chuckled at his lover’s cuteness.
Pansy was next; she walked a bit more confidently over to Hermione and gently hugged her from behind. “Good morning Pansy,” Hermione said, turning around and kissing Pansy on the cheek. Pansy without thinking kisses Hermione on the lips and Hermione immediately kisses back. Draco after watching his friends walks up to Harry and he hugs Harry. Harry hugs Draco back to Draco’s surprise. “Good morning Draco,” Harry said and got on his tiptoes and pecked Draco on the lips. Draco pulled Harry into another kiss almost immediately.
Blaise felt left out and scooped Ron up and sat him on the counter farthest from the stove and he whispered into Ron’s ear, “let’s show them how it’s really done my dear,” and firmly placed his lips to Ron’s. Ron opened his mouth without being asked and Blaise gladly shoved his tongue in Ron’s mouth properly snogging Ron. Ron was moaning and enjoying every minute of Blaise snogging the hell out of him. They did that without taking a break for maybe 5 minutes. Once they stopped so they could breathe; their friends were silent. “How in the world do you two get anything done? You work at the same school. Is this how you spend your lunch breaks and planning periods,” Hermione asked.
Ron nodded guiltily, “yeah we have the same free periods so we can spend time together. All our students know of our relationship and always ask when we’re getting married. I always say whenever Blaise proposes,” Ron said. Blaise smiles and helps Ron off the counter. He spins Ron around making him giggle before putting him down. “Baby let’s go out on a date tonight,” Blaise said shyly. “Ok my love,” Ron said.
Blaise smiles, “wear something nice ok,” Blaise said. Their friends knew what Blaise was planning. Later he pulled everyone aside while Ron was getting ready. “I’m proposing tonight can you guys sneakily take pictures because I know he’ll want pictures,” Blaise asked and they agreed. Blaise went upstairs and finished getting ready. Blaise somehow still finished before Ron and was waiting for him. Ron came down in a lovely maroon blazer, a black silk dress shirt with maroon dress pants, and black dress shoes charmed to repel snow.
Everything fit his form flawlessly. Blaise was in a forest green pants suit with a light grey dress shirt underneath perfectly tailored to him. The two of them looked beautiful together complimenting each other perfectly. The two went to Blaise’s black Mercedes-Benz. The rest follows them in Harry’s car; they glamourize the car and themselves so Ron wouldn’t recognize them. They get to a nice village in Northern Italy. Snow covered the ground. It was stunning.
They go to the center of town and Blaise sees Harry, Hermione, Neville, Draco, Pansy, and Theo ready with the camera. He got down on one knee and grabbed Ron’s hand. Ron turned to look down to him and Blaise began to speak, “Ron Weasley this past year has been the best time of my life. I remembered when I saw you again when we were interviewed for our music program at Verona Scuola superiore e scuole medie. When I saw you again my heart was thumping loudly in my chest. I never realized how beautiful you were. When we started working together and I started to get to know you like really know you I fell hard.
I would do everything I could to make you laugh because after I heard it became my favorite song. When I asked you out I was so nervous and I’ve never been that nervous to ask someone out before. When you said yes I used my planning period planning our date. I even called your sister for help. You are the most precious person in my life and you make me so very happy, so Ronald Weasley will you continue to make my world complete and marry me?” Blaise pulled out the ring box and opened it showing off the gorgeous diamond ring. By the end Ron was a sobbing mess and said through tears, “YES! YES! Of course I’ll marry you! I love you Blaise Zabini!”
Blaise slipped the ring on Ron’s ring finger and stood up scooping Ron up, kissing him with all the love and passion he had. Ron reciprocated every bit of what Blaise gave. Their friends took off the glamours and waited for them to be done before they ran up and enthusiastically congratulated the happy couple. Ron was smiling so bright that if he was the sun the snow would be completely gone. Blaise was smiling just as bright. Ron and Blaise immediately begged their friends to be in their wedding as their groomsmen and groomsmaids. Their friends agree immediately.
Ron smiles and hands Blaise a box. “I honestly thought you wouldn’t propose because of your anxiety so I was going to propose today too. Blaise opens the box and smiles. It was a gold band but it was a snake with a ruby in its mouth. “I love it baby,” Blaise said as he slips it on his ring finger. He then grabs Ron’s hand looking at the gold ring. It was simple but had Gryffindor lions around it and a ruby in the middle; it’s funny how they both thought of the same stone and color band.
The 8 friends went out to dinner to celebrate and got free food since the owner saw the proposal from his office. They all talked and laughed and talked while they ate. This was the happiest any of them have been since before the war. The war is the reason Blaise and Neville struggle with anxiety, Ron suffers from anorexia, Harry struggles from PTSD, Hermione suffers from OCD, and Draco and Pansy struggle with depression. They go home and decide to have homemade hot cocoa and homemade chocolate chip cookies. They also bake and decorate sugar cookies having the time of their lives; they decided to make this a tradition.The Slytherins went to the study to read.
Ron, Harry, Neville, and Hermione went to the living room and started beating each other with pillows laughing. The Slytherins walk into the room, and we're confused. They’ve never had a pillow fight before. They were angry at first but realized they were laughing. “What is this,” Draco asked. “A pillow fight, it’s a muggle game we played all the time in the common room at Hogwarts. This is tame compared to our pillow fights back in school,” Harry said laughing.
Ron, Hermione, and Neville were giggling while on the floor. “How do you play,” Blaise asked. “More importantly, how do you win,” Pansy asked after Blaise spoke. “Well you just beat each other with pillows and I guess the last one standing wins,” Hermione says. Blaise grabs a pillow and slaps Draco with it. “Oh it’s on Zabini,” Draco said, grabbing a pillow and soon Pansy and Theo joined in. Ron, Harry, Neville, and Hermione grab their pillows and jump back into the pillow fight. Most people would be weirded out that 8 grown adults were playing a childish game but to be fair these 8 adults barely had a childhood. Pressure from parents to be perfect all the time, fighting in a war, abuse, etc. These 8 adults deserve to have childish moments every once in a while.
