ReviewedPart Two of Seven. I don't own anything. The chapters will get a little longer eventually. Thank you to Glynna_vyre for beta'ing.
“I still don’t see why you have to marry the git,” Ron mumbled as he shifted the box of Hermione’s books into a more comfortable position to carry. Hermione dropped her own box back down on the table and spun around to face him.
“Ronald Bilius Weasley, I have had enough. I have been with Severus for two years now. I know you aren’t happy that we never worked out, but can’t you please be happy for me?” Hermione’s voice softened towards the end, her eyes pleading with Ron to accept this.
He looked out the window of her small flat into Muggle London and sighed. “I’m really trying, Hermione. I don’t think I’ll ever like him, to tell the truth, but I’m trying to accept this.” He gave her a small grin.
Hermione smiled and walked the small distance between them. Hugging him, she spoke. “Thank you, Ron. You’re my brother, and I will always love you. Just try not to make too much of a fool of yourself at the wedding, okay?”
Ron laughed and released her, “I’ll see what I can manage.”
They both returned to packing up Hermione’s flat in preparation for her move to Spinner’s End.

You know, I really thought you'd find a way to save her. Now I'm terribly afraid to have rightly guessed what he's going to do next.
Response from shatteredrose (Author of The Lady and Her Knight)
I was thinking about taking it that way, but the song that inspired me to write this story for them didn't quite end that way. I hope you aren't terribly disappointed.
Response from snitchette (Reviewer)
Terribly sad is more like it. And some blood (Ron's preferably) to avange them. Severus can even kill him (painfully of course) before...
Hi there,
I have a question about Ron's plan.
If Ron gave her the wine why would she blame Severus
when she got sick from it ?
Pansycat
I love how you've written the despair in your story!
oh damn update update!!
I knew that! Bad author to make such evil cliffie! Is there hope for her or should I fetch a box of tissue ?
Response from shatteredrose (Author of The Lady and Her Knight)
If you've heard the song, you might want to grab a box of tissues. However, I do promise a bittersweet happy ending.
Why am I under the impression that they really shouldn't try that wine?
Response from shatteredrose (Author of The Lady and Her Knight)
Probably because they shouldn't try it. :D
Can Ron really not make a fool of himself? I doubt it.
That's such a nice scene. But I fear given the summary that, soon, things are not going to be so sweet.
Dang.
Oh this is so tragic! I hope Severus gets revenge on Ron.
Arrrggghhhh! Ron's gift of wine has poisoned Hermione on her wedding night. I guess he figured that if he couldn't have her, no one would have her.I hope Severus can figure out what was done and an can find some way to make Hermione well again. I'm so afraid that she will die if something can't be done soon.Please update soon!Beth

I'll be uploading the next two chapters ( I decided to condense them from 4) as soon as my beta sends them back to me. Then it is up to the admins with how quickly it gets posted. Hopefully it won't be too long though!
What a beautiful wedding they had. I've always thought the Black Lake would have made a lovely site for getting married. I'm happy that their friends seemed so happy for the newly weds, but Ron's gift of the elf wine is scaring me a little... well, a lot. I've gotta to catch the next chapter to see what happens.

I must agree with the Black Lake being a great spot to get married. I wish it existed (with the giant squid) so that I could marry there myself!
What an idiot. Stupid, stupid boy. I'm surprised that Severus was able to control himself.
As sad as this ending is, it is very well done when I consider the song that inspired you to write it. Well done!
Beth
Stupid Ron! I hope he rots in Azkaban. Or gets the Dementor's kiss.
Beth
This was really sad but a fitting end to such a tragic story.
Somehow, I knew this would end like that. I wouldn't have want any other end but it's still very sad.
Response from shatteredrose (Author of The Lady and Her Knight)
Yes, but I did toss in a bit of happiness with them together in the end, even if they are dead. I promise that my next story is actually going to have a happy ending. Maybe that'll make up for killing them off in this story.
A beautiful, if heartwrenching tale. Nicely done. I suppose Ron living with himself for the rest of his life is punishment enough? Probably not, but one can hope.
Well she's marked Ron as her brother, but that doesn't necessarily mean owt.
Looking forward to seeing what happens next!
Strange way to propose.I'm hoping the story's not going to move in parallel to the song!
Response from shatteredrose (Author of The Lady and Her Knight)
Unfortunately that is the goal. I hope its not too upsetting that I chose a bittersweet ending.
Ack - that song has such a sad ending! I am hoping you have an alternate version in mind.
Interesting start. Would like to see more before I develop any real opinion. ^_^
Response from shatteredrose (Author of The Lady and Her Knight)
Well the next two chapters are in queue! Thank you for reviewing.
