Notes: I don't think Hermione believes in luck. At least not in the common sense. But for me (and maybe she shares my view), luck is a more or less fortunate combination of circumstances.

Harry said it; Ginny said it; my parents said it; even George, from whom I couldn't hide anything, said it. You can do it. That's what they said. And here I am. Trying.

I have at least fifty different speeches, but I know they'll all vanish as Leprechaun's coins the moment I look at her. It's happened before; I try too hard and end up saying lots of rubbish. Spontaneous, nice rubbish, though.

Now she's here, smiling.

'I'll give this dress a last chance; it's brought me very bad luck in the past-'

Not tonight.

'Will you marry me?'
