"I'm sorry, Harry! I really, truly am. I would've told you sooner, but someone made me promise to wait..." Hermione also knew she couldn't tell Harry sooner because she'd gone and told Ginny, but Ron never had to know that! She also had a bit of a reaction to Harry's comment about Ron plucking up the courage, and her eyes shot over to Ron. He didn't seem to want to share what had really happened, so she followed his lead. The proposal didn't really matter anyway, it's the engagement that counts! ...Isn't it?
Thankful that he changed the subject, she finished off her last piece of meat before washing it down with the remainder of her wine. "Not that I care to reveal just yet, thank you for checking. And Ron's right, Harry. Dinner was top notch. I'm very, very impressed."
Hermione wondered if Ron was referring to her book idea that she'd fleshed out a bit when she was intoxicated. She had forgotten that she'd told Ron about that until she found the messy outline the next morning when she sobered up. Hermione decided she needed something more substantial than an outline-- and that she needed to concentrate first and foremost on her house-elf liberation initiative.
