You know that wholesome trope in shows where one partner is proposing to the other but they get so overwhelmed with emotion that the other partner also kneels and they propose to each other through happy tears and broken sentences? Totally (bi) Ron and (bi) Hermione.
Okay but listen. Listen.
Ron goes out for drinks after work with Harry and George, and after a few glasses of red currant rum Ron blurts out that he’s planning to propose. Harry’s eyes go wide when he says it, but he reigns it in before buzzed Ron notices. George sees it though. When Ron goes to the bar for the next round, George rounds on Harry. “What’s up, mate?” Quickly Harry tells him that when he and Hermione were out with some Ministry coworkers she also said she was planning to propose. George breaks into a huge grin but shushes him as Ron returns. George waggles his eyebrows in a we’ll talk about this later type way as they take their refilled glasses.
When they do talk about it later of course Ginny overhears and wants in. She’s the one who hatches the scheme to have Ron and Hermione pick the perfect times to propose... that just happen to be the exact same time. In the end it takes several favors from Ginny’s Chudley Cannons friends, a line of experimental Weasleys’ Wizard Wheezes products, entry to the Perenelle Flamel Magical Reserve, and getting Percy to keep Hermione tied up at the office and off their trail, but it’s absolutely worth it. The co-conspirators show the video of the proposal at Ron and Hermione’s wedding reception. (Ron leans over to kiss his wife’s jaw and to conveniently hide his reddened face in her hair.) They laugh and love along with everyone else in the room, embarrassed but so very happy.
