Drive
Information brought to the order just hours before had changed everything. According to this information, everyone's lives would either begin or end tomorrow. Voldemort would be making his move. Hogwarts was going to be attacked.
There was no use trying to prevent it, it simply had to be. Either Harry Potter or the Dark Lord was going to die tomorrow. But before Harry could even think about the possibilty of his life ending come dawn, there was something he needed to do first. A question he needed to ask somebody.
This particular somebody happened to be curled up into him at this very moment as they sat in front of the fire of the Gryffindor common room. This person's name was Hermione Granger, current Head Girl of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Head Girl though she may have been, she was also Harry's girlfriend, and had been since the end of their sixth year.
He fiddled with the box in his pocket as he decided how he was going to ask his question. The traditional way was not enough. He wanted this to be extra special. Though he was never one for recitals, Harry did often find himself humming a muggle tune. A particular one came to mind and he decided it would do.
"Hermione?" He whispered to her.
"Yes Harry?" She whispered back as she turned to face him.
'Better now than never.' Harry thought. He pulled out his want and pointed it at the nearest object; a cup that Hermione had been sipping tea from some time earlier. "Transformese tocadiscos." The cup turned into an object resembling a muggle record player. Hermione let out an audible gasp at the complexity of the magic Harry had just shown, but her most overpowering feature at the moment happened to be the confusion playing about her eyes. Harry focused his thoughts on the song he wanted the record player to produce. After a few moments silence, the player began.
"Sometimes I feel the fear of uncertainty stinging clear
And I cant help but ask myself how much I'll let the fear take the wheel and steer
It's driven me before, it seems to have a vague
Haunting mass appeal
Lately I'm beginning to find that I should be the one behind the wheel
Whatever tomorrow brings, I'll be there
With open arms and open eyes yeah
Whatever tomorrow brings, I'll be there, I'll be there
So if I decide to waiver my chance to be one of the hive
Will I choose water over wine and hold my own and drive, oh oh"
Hermione had recognized the song as one of American muggle popular culture, but that did not concern her at the moment. The thing that had drawn her now undivided attention was Harry. He had made to get up, but then stopped abruptly, knelt down in front of her and grabbed one of her hands.
"It's driven me before, it seems to be the way
That everyone else get around
Lately, I'm beginning to find that when I drive myself, my light is found
Whatever tomorrow brings, I'll be there
With open arms and open eyes yeah
Whatever tomorrow brings, I'll be there, I'll be there
Would you choose water over wine
Hold the wheel and drive
Whatever tomorrow brings, I'll be there
With open arms and open eyes yeah
Whatever tomorrow brings, I'll be there, I'll be there"
Harry's other hand brought forth a small velvet box. Inside was a dazzling diamond ring. Hermione was too shocked to speak. Harry however, regained his courage and forced his mouth to move.
"Hermione, I don't know what tomorrow may bring, but I do know that I want to spend the rest of my life with you. Whether that be the next few hours or the next hundred years, I wish to be yours. I've been too afraid to ask you until now, but I reasoned that this best not be left unsaid. Hermione Granger, will you marry me?"
His eyes looked hopefully into hers only to see that she was crying. After a split second of panic on Harry's part, Hermione smiled. "Yes Harry, yes." She said simply and proceeded to claim his lips in a kiss as he slid the ring onto her finger.
