The Proposal
The pearly clouds slid by under our feet, the broom dipped down beneath the clouds and the English countryside came into view. After a couple more minutes we landed in a beautiful, secluded paddock. He helped me off the broom, not that I needed any help I was on my house quidditch team after all, but it was nice of him all the same.
"My lady" he said offering me his arm and smiling that smile that I love. I giggled and took his arm.
"Why thank you, you kind man" I managed to say between giggles.
We started walking up a small hill, when we reached the top I gasped. There in the field just over the hill was a little picnic set up, complete with a checked blanket spread on the ground and a small basket on one of the corners. I stood still for a moment then started running towards it.
"I'll beat you there" I shouted over my shoulder
In response he laughed, that laugh I love. When I reached the edge of the blanket I threw myself down on it and rolled onto my back watching his advancing figure. When he reached me the jumped down onto the blanket and with a thud he landed next to me. We stared at the sky for a minute then I decided to do something to break the silence, I rolled on top of him and kissed him. It reminded me of our first kiss, so long ago now, it was chaste, tentative and tender, it only lasted a few seconds but it was so full of love. When we broke apart I rested my head on his chest and listened to my favourite sound, the steady sound of his beating heart. His hand had managed to tangle itself in my hair and was now resting on the back of my neck. I had always hated my hair, and if it hadn't been for my brothers threatening those first kids that teased me because of it I would still be called names. My hair is Red, Ginger, Orange, whatever. Everyone in my family has red hair; I hate it so much, but he? He loves it.
"Gin?" He says, his voice pulling me out of my thoughts
"Mmm?" I murmur turning my face up to look at him
"Were you listening to anything I just said?" he questioned me
"Um… Yes you were just saying how much er how much you love me and how you couldn't live without me." I say grinning up at him
"I still don't think you were listening. Anyway Gin I need to ask you something and then we need to eat the food before it gets cold."
I looked at him with my best 'quizzical' face and said "OK Shoot"
"Ginerva Molly Weasley, love of my life, I love you with all my heart, will do me the honour of accepting my proposal and becoming my wife?"
When my mind had processed this I sat bolt upright and looked down at him, he had got a ring out and was looking up at me hopefully. Oh Merlin he's serious I thought to myself. I was frozen, but only for a second, then I flung myself down on him and kissed him squarely on the lips.
"Yes Draco I will, of course I will" I whispered against his lips then lowered my head and kissed him again.
