Hermione couldn't help but laugh at Harry's reaction. "Yes Ron's right, Harry. We're not old, you prat. Your parents were married right out of Hogwarts, and so were Ron's! We're just engaged... and likely will be for quite a while. No need to rush into a wedding!"
It was much easier to talk about their engagement-- and for Hermione to start feeling excited about their engagement-- without their impending wedding right around the corner. Instead, it could be a vague thought far off into the future. That was fine for now!
At Ron's comment, Hermione shot him a nasty glare. "Feels like we've been dating since the stone age?? Thanks, Ron." She ate another piece of her dragon steak, washing it down with wine before adding, "I feel as though we've been dating twenty minutes-- UNDERWATER."
Turning her attention back to Harry, she gave a nod. "Surely you'll be Ron's best man, but don't worry. I don't want to have a huge fussy production like Bill and Fleur's wedding, everyone panicking about shades of gold dresses and how to wear their hair... that's entirely unnecessary." She was sure Ginny would be pleased to hear that, at the very least. Or perhaps she should have a go at her-- tell her she must wear a pink dress. Hermione made sure to remember that one for future reference.
