Ginny lay in Harry's lap, a single tear silently rolled down her face. It had been a week since the downfall of the dard lord, Voldemort, and Ginny lay thinking about the death of her brother and the death of many other people she had been close with. Harry stroke Ginny's hair, not alowing tears to fall down his own face. He remain heart-broken at the loss of his friend, someone that he had been close to for many years, since his very first day at hogwarts.

More tears fall down Ginny's face. She had gotten something she desperatly wanted, but had lost more in the course of gaining it. She was back together with Harry once more, yet she found it very hard to smile. She wiped the tears that fell from her gorgeous, dark, brown eyes, smudging her eye-liner more then the tears had already done. She would never have life the same again she had lost so much...

A year later, Ginny lay in Harry's lap once more. Tears spilt as she thought of all those lost in the war. This day, a year ago, had been the death of Tonks, Lupin, Fred, and many more. Harry looked deaply into her warm brown eyes, and was comforted. If it had not been for Ginny, Harry would not have made it this far. He loved Ginny with all his heart, and had thought that he would never get a chance to be with her again, after he did the stupid 'Noble' thing and broke up with her. Yet, here he was now, with the love of his life, as tears poor down her beautiful face.

Harry wrapped his arms around Ginny, holding her tightly, never wanting to let her go. Ginny looked up into Harry's eyes, and smiled. She whiped her tears away, and kissed Harry softly. 'Thank-you... ' She hugged Harry. Harry had been there for her, every weak moment she had. Every bad day, every sad moment, he had been there to comfort her through everything that had been happening the last few years.

'I love you so much, Ginny.'

Ginny lay her head down into Harry's lap, and slowly fell into a peacefull sleep.

'And would you like anything else, sir?'

It was a week after Ginny had layed in Harry's lap, crying.

The man handed over the ring, and smile. 'Some lucky woman you have, that ring was the engagement ring of none other then Miss Ravenclaw herself. It was passed down through the family, and when her daughter was murdered, we managed to get it then.' The shop owner smile as if to say he had gotten it for a very unfair price.

Harry thanked the man and walked out, a small bulge in his robe pocket.

XxXxXxXxX

Harry silently entered the burrow, where Ginny, himself, and the others were staying, to catch up with eachother. Trying not to be noticed, he snucked into the room he and Ron had been sharing. Mrs Weasley didn't allow Hermione and Ron to share a room. Poor them. Harry had laughed so hard when he found this out, making jokes such as, 'Well maybe we should get up to something, then she will make up change rooms and you get to have Hermione!' And much other things along this lines, stuff that made Ron go red.

Harry snuck the ring into his suitcase, and shoved it under his bed.

'What are you doing, Harry?' Ron walked in to find Harry's legs halfway under his bed.

Harry jumped up, hitting his head on the underside of the bed. 'N-n-nothing.' He said, climbing out from under the bed, rubbing his head.

Ron laughed and said something which the words 'Payback' was clearly heard.

'Oh shut it..' Harry glanced down to make sure the suitcase was hidden.

'What the..?'

'I was looking for Hermione, i thought you might have stashed her someone in here, since you cant seep in the ame room as eachother.' Ron went red as Harry laughed. Harry turned and ran downstairs

Just as he turned a corner, he ran straight into Ginny, knocking her off her feet.

'Oh shit, Sorry Ginny!' He rushed over and helped her back onto her feet. 'You okay?'

'Ow, my head hurts..' she said in a low voice, clutching where she had been hurt.

Harry moved her hand away to see a small cut on her head. He pulled out his wand and fixed it as best as he could. 'Better?' He smiled, whiping away the blood with his shirt sleave.

Ginny smiled. 'Thanks...' She turned and walked up into her room, where she and Hermione had been staying.

XxXxXxXxX

'Hey Hermy!'

Hermione rolled her eyes at this greating, she disliked being called 'Hermy.'

'What you doing?' Ginny sat down onto her bed, and begain to flip threw a few pages of books Hermione had been looking at early.

'Waiting for Ron.'

'Oooooooooooooooh' Ginny smirked, but didn't get a changce to say what was on her kinds, because at that moment Harry had walked into the room. 'Your mother wants your help in the kitchen.'

Ginny sighed, before getting up and slowly walking downstairs.

Harry walked over to Hermione, and took the book out of her hands. He placed it gentally onto her bed. Harry had something closed tightly in the palm of his hand. Its box was still in his pocket. Harry sat down infront of Hermione, and opened his hand.

Inside was a beautiful engagement ring. It had a saphire on it, that with two small emeralds on each side. It was simple enough for an engagement ring, but it was beautiful! The goblin made gold, the carving of a rose on it's side. It was the most beautiful ring Hermione had ever seen.

She reached out and took the ring off Harry. 'It is so .. beautifl..' She sighed.

'Keep it close to you...' Harry kissed her cheek, and turned and walked out the room. Just as he reached the doorway Ron entered the room, looking slightly confused as why Harry was there, with a smile on his face, while Hermione looked amazed.

XxXxXxXxX

Harry walked downstairs to see Ginny helping cook the dinner for that night.

'Well hello again.' Harry kissed her cheek, before walking outside into the beautiful setting sun.

He felt lifted, like a balloon that no-one could ever pop, he felt like nothing could go wrong, and everything in his life was about to turn to normal. He had been planning out his future for a while now, and had deside that she was the one he truely wanted to be with for the rest of his life. He could see in her eyes, Hermione really liked the ring.

XxXxXxXxX

'Morning, Harry...' Ginny said sleepily, before walking downstairs for breakfast. Harry smiled, and as she walked out of site, Harry entered her room.

'Hello, Hermione. Have a nice sleep?'

Hermione smiled. 'Never better, the ring, it was beautiful!' It seemed like the smile on her face had been there since he had given her the ring. 'i can't believe your going to- wow...' Hermione stopped in mid-sentance and looked at what Harry had just pulled out off his pocket. 'So this is...'

A simple gold necklace chain dangled from his hand. 'Now all it needs is the pendant i gave you when...' Harry looked at Hermione. 'Herm...' she looked like she just saw a ghost.

'Oh...' Harry turned to see that Ron had caught the last sentance of what he said.'

'Oh! I was just, uhm Harry was just giving me this...'

'It was a chain to her birthday necklace, it broke before...' Harry said calmly. 'I'm going to go out for a while, seeya.' Harry turned and walked away, but not before he could hear Hermione saying 'He told you, he was giving me a necklace chain, thats all it is.'

Harry walked downstairs to find Ginny eating her breakfast. 'Sounds like they're having a fight?'

Harry nodded. 'I'm out for a while..' He kissed Ginny sofly on the lips, before walking out the door once more.

'That boy is up to something...' Ginny shook her head, and continued on her toast.

XxXxXxXxX

Harry walked back in a few hours later, out of breath, a few bulges in his jacket and jeans pocket.

'Something in your pocket or you just excited about something?' Ron smirked.

Harry let out a small laugh. 'Wheres Ginny gone?'

'Oooooooh thats why your happy! She went out with mum for a bit.'

'Oh har har.' Harry realised Ron was getting his payback for the 'few' joke Harry had made earlier.

Harry walked upstairs to Ginny's room, to find it empty. He picked up a quil, and a spare bit of parechment Hermione had, and he scribbled a note to Hermione, and placed a few more items under her pillow.

Harry started to walk out, but he bumped into Hermione and Ginny as he did turned around. Both were carrying a few bags, and were laughing, and talking about what they had brought.

'You still haven't told me whats in that... Oh, Harry!' Ginny smiled. 'What are you doing in here? If mum catches you she might think i'm hidden under a bed!' She put on a fake look of shock.

Harry laughed slightly, before taking the bags off her, and placing them on her bed.

Ginny smiled, and sat down on her bed.

'So Hermy, what was in that oh so secret package you brought. Is it for Ronnykins?' She smirked, making kissing noices.

'It's nothing...' She sat down on her bed. 'What the..' She could feel something underneith her. She lifted up the pillow, but caught eye of Harry shaking his head, and mouthing something.

Ginny looked from Harry to Hermione, looking confused. She shook her head.

'So Hermy, why were you and Ronnikins fight early?'

'Oh...uhm...' Hermione went bright red and looked towards Harry.

'I heard something about a necklace, and it was nothing, or something like that?'

'Yeah, uhm, Ha-.. uhm i was given a necklace for my birthday, and he found the chain that was just given to me, and uhm, he thought, well uhm, yeah...'

'Okaaaaaaaay then...' Ginny looked slightly confused. 'Uhm, who gave it to you?'

Hermione muttered something under her breath.

'What was that?'

'I said don't you worry! It is between me and Ron!' Hermione looked angry.

'Well find then, no need to bite my head off!' Ginny got up and walked out of the room. Harry shrugged, before following Ginny.

XxXxXxXxX

'Gin, wait up!'

Ginny turned around. 'Dunno what her problem is!'

'Don't worry about her.' Harry smiled and took Ginny's hand.

Ginny looked into Harry's eyes. 'Harry, uhm...'

'Yes?' Harry noticed the way Ginny was looking at him. 'Whats wrong, Ginny?'

'You have been acting...different lately...?'

'Oh..yeah... Don't worry about that..I'm fine...' He wouldn't quite meet her eye when he said this.

'Well, okay then...' Ginny sighed and walked off.

XxXxXxXxX

Hermione lifted her pillow to find a few items. She found a candle set, smelling of roses. She found a small wrapped up parcell, which was soft, as though containing clothes of some sort. She found a bunch or gorgeous, expencive things. She couldn't think of what to say, she was amazed at Harry's taste.

She picked up the note and smiled as she read it. She opened the parcell and two things fell out. One, a beautiful, black, sparkly dress, that ell just bellow the knees and a muggle watch. She picked up the silver watch, with little heart charms on the side, and smiled so brightly, as she put it on. 'Wow... It is beautiful... Harry...'

XxXxXxXxX

During dinner that night, oth Ginny and Ron noticed the watch on her wrist.'

'Whats that?' Ron asked, looking confused.

'It's a muggle watch.' Hermione said showing it to Ron. Ron looked very confused.' Whats with all the numbers?'

'They are used to tell the time, aren't they?.' Ginny said, having known what it was, as she had taken muggle studies.

'Yes, it is.'

'It looks new?'

'Yes, my friends, uhm, gave it to me for doing him a few.. a few favours.'

'Oh, Hermione has another boyfriend!' Ginny laughed.

Ron glanced over to Harry, he looked angry. He got up and stormed out of the room.

'Geeze, Ron can be such a baby at times! I was just joking!'

Harry got up and walked out shortly after Ron. He walked into his room, but found it empty.

Harry heard someone moving in the girls room. He walked in to find Ron trashing all of Hermione's stuff.

'RON! NO! STOP!'

Ron grabbed a few things and threw them at Harry. It was all of the stuff he had brought recently.

'Ron!' Hermione ran into the room, followed by Ginny.

'YOU CHEATING PEACE OF SCUM!'

Hermione screamed as Ron grabbed her arm. He shoved the ring into her hand, and poored out a bad full of stuff Harry had brought.

'RON! STOP IT! YOU GOT IT WRONG MATE!'

'Mate? Mate!? Well listen here MATE.' He spat, pulling out his wand.

'Harry...' A tear fell down Hermione's face.

'What is he saying, Harry? Cheating?' Ginny looked hurt.

'Ginny, please, don't listen to him...' Hermione said, as more tears stained her face.

'Harry?'

'EXPELLIARMUS!' Ron got blasted back at the power of the spell, his wand hit the floor. Hermione pulled out her wand and walked over to Ron. She put her arms around him, and whispered something into his ear, and handing him a note she summoned over. Ron read it and seemed to calm down slightly. He glanced from Harry to Ginny.

'WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON HERE!?'

Ginny looked furious, as a tear rolled down her cheek.

Harry walked over to Hermione, and took the ring and note.

'Harry? Cheating? What is he talking about?'

Harry walked over to Ginny and whiped the tears from her eyes. 'It's just a big mis-understanding. Hermione was just helping me deside how to...' harry glanced over to Hermione, who smiled tearfully. Ginny reached out and took the note off him.

Hermione. Thanks for helping me hide everything until i am ready to ask Ginny to marry me. Inside the package is a watch, please keep it for all your help.

'Marry me..?'

Harry took her hand, and slipped the ring onto her finger. 'I love you so much Ginny, I need you, i can't live without you...'

Ginny smiled more then she had smiled all year. 'I love you too...' She couldn't think of what else to say, everything Harry had said, was what Ginny felt.

Without a care that both Hermione and Ron were watching, Harry leaned in and kissed Ginny. Ginny returned this kiss, allowing Harry to slip his tounge into her mouth.

The couple kissed pationately, without a care in the world. They didn't want to break apart, they wanted to stay in eachother arms forever. Nothing could ruin this moment ... but something could make it better.

'They look so happy...' More tears had fallen down Hermione's face. Ron looked over to Hermione, to see the tears. He whiped her face with his sleave. 'Thats what you wnat isn't it?'

Hermione glanced over to Ron, looking slightly shocked. 'Whoa, what are you saying?'

'Marry me?'

Hermione squealed and kissed Ron, just a pationately as Harry and Ginny were.

Ginny pulled away from Harry when she heard what Ron said, and she glanced over to Ron.

She looked up at Harry and smiled. This day would be one no-one would ever forget. She kissed Harry once more. The day had seemed like a nightmare, turning into a blissful dream.

((Honestly, who thought that Hermione and Harry were a thing? Both cheeting on their bf/gf? Just proves that you don't judge a book by its cover! D ))
