A/N: Hey, people out there! Back with another one-shot. But first, I know what Ginny's patronus is, still, that was in OOTP, and so, it could have changed. I know, JK Rowling has never said anything about it, but still. Have a nice reading!-Love, me.
Disclaimer: JK Rowling is the creator of the world of Harry Potter, not me.
Harry Potter sat in front of the Burrow's fireplace. The seventeen, soon-to-be eighteen, man could not remember the last time he had been so relaxed. Although it was three in the morning, and his eyes were screaming for rest, he could not get up, or simply close his eyes and go to sleep. No, because finally, he, The Boy Who Lived, the Savior of the Wizarding World, was peaceful.
Suddenly, he heard the creak of the stairs. Harry grabbed his wand from his side and stood up slowly and soundlessly. Even after a two months of a world free of Voldemort, Harry's instincts were still on alert as ever. A dim shadow appeared on the Weasley's living room entrance.
Harry relaxed his grip on his wand and sat on the couch once again. The shadow moved and sat next to him. The shadow's left hand caught light of the fire and that alone revealed the clear presence of an engagement ring.
"Why are you up so late?" Ginny Weasley asked.
Her voice sounded tired, but sweet at the same time. Harry, who was looking at the engagement ring with a smile, looked up to find some, slightly concerned, brown eyes. As he looked at her, she relaxed, evidently seeing his smile.
"I just came for a glass of water but," he stopped slowly. Really, he didn't know what made him sit down and just enjoy the silence. With a slight shrug he said, "I felt, so, peaceful."
Ginny looked at him closely and then put her head on his shoulder.
"Did I interrupt your relaxation time, oh noble ?" She said jokingly after some minutes.
"No, you made it better," he said as he tilted his head to kiss her. She joined him and was surprised by the passion the kiss had. But soon, her surprise died down and she returned the kiss with the same passion. Ginny broke the kiss to take air some minutes later.
"You know something Harry, I really really love you." She said honesty.
"I love you too." Harry said. He saw Ginny bit her lip. "What's wrong?"
"Oh, nothing, it's just that well," she bit her lip again, "I had something saved for your birthday but I don't think I can resist showing it to you anymore."
He smiled. "Do you know how happy I feel that your biggest concern is about my birthday present?"
"It's not your birthday present," she said with a smile, "your birthday present is much bigger than that." She gave him a wink. Harry felt his cheeks go a little bit hot. "But well…"
She trailed off, looking into the fire. After some moments of thought she smiled and took a long look at Harry. She raised her wand and said, "Expecto Patronum".
A silver doe shot out of it, landing gracefully on the floor. It bowed his head to Ginny and then to Harry. After that, the doe trotted around them before it slowly began to dim until it was gone.
Ginny turned to look at Harry, who was looking at her with pure love.
"When did it change?" He asked softly.
"After you left." She said with a sad smile. Harry kissed her cheek. "The first time I saw it was when Luna, Neville, and I were teaching how to conjure a patronus to the DA."
"I love it." Harry said as he planted a kiss on her lips. The innocent kiss soon turned into a whole snogging session, but after ten minutes, Harry stopped. "But not as much as I love you."
Before his lips touched Ginny's, though, she whispered, "I love you too."
