Ron smiled mischievously and beckoned for Harry to come over. "I've got something to show you." Harry approached his friend as Ron reached into the pocket of his robe. "Look." Ron brought out a red, velvet-lined box. He opened it partially and Harry caught a glint of something white. "I bought it in a Muggle shop near The Leaky Cauldron. The Muggle said it was worth 14 'carrots'. Isn't it beautiful?" Ron gushed, beaming from ear to ear.

Harry smiled and hugged Ron. "Good luck, mate."

Ron smiled sheepishly and glanced at Harry. "It's just that…Harry, I need some practice"

"So Harry, you sit in this chair and pretend you're Hermione." Harry sat, grinning widely. Ron went down on one knee in front of him, trying to look serious, and held up the box with the ring. "I love you. I want to spend the rest of my life with you. I want to go to sleep every night with you lying next to me, and I want to wake up every morning to see your hair on my pillow. Will you marry me ?" He awkwardly removed the ring from the box, and slipped it on the grinning Harry's finger.

"RONALD BILIUS WEASLEY, I WILL NEVER SPEAK TO YOU AGAIN."
