"Ginny and I have some wonderful news," said Harry while holding Ginny's and hand looking about the table filled with the people he loved the most," we are getting married."
The table burst into chaos of congratulations and applause.
"Oh goodness! How wonderful!" exclaimed Mrs. Weasley over everyone else.
"That's wonderful you two! How did he propose, Ginny?" asked Hermione once the commotion settled.
"Well, we had volunteered to ya know, um, rebuild and transport students' items back to their owners," Ginny started cautiously because of the still open wound, "and we were the last ones on the platform because we were checking that everything was claimed. After we checked, we left the platform and a few feet away, Harry stopped me and said…"
"I stopped her at the place where I was standing when I first laid my eyes on her and I told her that, and then I said, 'I first saw you here almost eight years ago and I loved you right off the bat. I loved you because you were a part of your family who freely and kindly helped me through the platform. A year later, I loved you, again, because you we my best friend's sister and I thought you were cute because you had this adorable crush on me. And then over the next year my love for you grew because I could not imagine a life without you after it almost happened in the Chamber. The next year, my fourth year, I started to love you in a different way, but I made, no forced, myself to like Cho Chang instead, because Ron would have had my head it he knew that I liked you. My admiration grew over the next few years, until in my last year I couldn't help it any more. My loves for you had grown together and I knew you were the only one for me. This year, I left you. I couldn't put you in any more danger that you already were. I had witnessed you almost die and couldn't see it actually happen to you. I am so glad that you forgave me.'" Harry looked around the table and saw the awe at his sentimental speech in all the women's eyes and bits of jealousy in some of the guys as they realized how bad their proposals looked in comparison, and he continued, "so then I got down on one knee and said, 'Ginevra Molly Weasley, will you make me the luckiest and happiest man in the world and marry me, because I love you and promise that I will never leave you ever again.'"
"Awe, Harry, that's so sweet," Hermione exclaimed.
"I am so lucky that she forgave me and that she said 'yes,'" finished Harry as he looked in the love of his life's eyes.
All around the table, the family looked on at the happy couple, except for Ron, who just looked extremely confused.
"Vat's wrong Ronald?" asked Fleur.
"Harry and Ginny's story reminded me," answered Ron, as he turned to Hermione, "Hey Hermione, wanna get married?"
"RONALD!" exclaimed Mrs. Weasley before Hermione could answer, "That is no way to propose, especially after Harry just poured his heart out to your little sister! You should be…"
"It's all right Mrs. Weasley," said Hermione, cutting Mrs. Weasley off, "if Ron had asked any other way I would have assumed one of you had hexed him. That was a very Ron way and it's the Ron I love so," turning to Ron, "of course I will marry you."
The table burst out again, just as it had over Ginny and Harry's announcement, until one voice, the voice of reason in all matters of the family, "What are you four going to do about school, since you boys will not be returning, while Ginny and Hermione properly finish out their education?"
