Chapter 1:Happiness
He watched her as she walked across the grounds, beautiful, sophisticated, and brilliant. He saw her smile as she got closer to the lake. Her smiles always made him feel better not to mention they were adorable. He also smiled as he remembered the day they'd met.
He looked around the living room of Number Twelve, Grimmauld Place. Ron and Hermione were sitting on a couch, talking quietly. Ginny was a building a card castle out of Exploding Snap cards. Fred and George were thinking up names for their new and latest inventions. Tonks was sitting in front of a mirror, trying to decide what color to change her hair to today. Remus was sitting at the table, looking up something. He also heard Mrs. Weasley in the kitchen, fixing lunch. He figured everyone was avoiding him because he was basically an emotional rollercoaster right now, what with Sirius's death and everything. He'd just gotten here not too long ago and already, everyone was staying away from him. He sighed. Then he heard a door open.
He looked up and standing there was Professor Dumbledore but he wasn't alone. Two kids stood in front of him. They looked about his age, one was a girl, the other a boy. He was surprised. The girl had waist-length, curly but slightly wavy, dark brown hair, cerulean blue eyes that twinkled like the Professor's, peach-toned skin, a curvy but muscular figure, and a cute smirk that turned into a smile as she looked around the room. The boy next to her had short, slightly curly auburn hair and bright emerald green eyes that twinkled too, a masculine and muscular figure, and a goofy grin that was planted on his face. They both walked towards the others. The boy walked over to Ginny and started helping her build the card castle. She grinned at him. The girl walked over to Fred and George.
"Fred! George! My partners in pranks!" she said as she hugged them both.
"Hi Jess!" they both chorused each picking her up and swinging her around.
"Hey Ron, Mione, how are the both of ya?" she asked turning towards the pair.
"Great Jess" Ron replied.
"I'm just fine Jess." Hermione spoke up.
Hey Gin, is my idiotic brother helping you with your card castle or just wrecking it?" she asked surveying it.
"I really dunno Jess." Ginny replied giggling.
Oliver chuckled. "Oh come on sis, you know I was helping her."
"Yeah, suuure I do." Jessica replied rolling her eyes.
Then she spotted him. She walked over.
"Hi, I don't believe I've met you. I'm Jessica Dumbledore, Professor Dumbledore's granddaughter, in case you're wondering and that guy over there is my twin brother Oliver." So she was related to Dumbledore. That would explain the twinkle in both of their eyes.
"I'm Harry Potter, nice to meet you." he replied shaking her hand.
"You're Harry Potter? Then I have something for you." she said.
Then she reared back her hand and slapped him.
"That's for yelling at my grandfather last year." she growled.
"Jessica!" "Harry had every right to yell and scream at me!" Dumbledore said walking over.
"Still, it's the principle of the thing." she spoke up.
Harry was holding his cheek, filling with anger and rage every second she stood there glaring at him.
"He himself said that it was his fault Sirius died." he growled at her.
"It's Lestrange's fault that he died, Potter." she retorted, her face contorting with fury.
His anger took over then. He jumped up and came at her but she flipped him over on his back. He had the wind knocked out of him. She bent over him and said, "You don't choose your opponents very wisely." Even though he was furious at her, he was surprised when she held her hand out to him to help him up. He looked up at her and she smirked. He rolled his eyes and took her hand.
After that day, they remained on 'touchy' terms to put it lightly but eventually her charm had pulled him in and they began to be friends. She'd helped him get over Sirius's death and helped him to accept the responsibility of saving both the magical world and the muggle one. They both fought against Voldemort that year, their sixth year at school, yet their first year of knowing each other. Now in his seventh, they'd gotten closer than friends and started going out. Now it was almost the end of the year, close to graduation. Harry wanted to propose to her. He knew that he only known her for almost two years but he felt like he'd known her for a lifetime. Now he was just watching her as she gracefully walked down to the lake and just sat on the bank, drawing pictures on the surface with her finger.
Now Harry knew that the war with Voldemort was still waging and that he could be killed and that he should be concerned or worried about the upcoming fight with Voldemort but at the moment as he watched his girlfriend, he felt totally at peace. He finally decided that it was time. He plucked a lily that he saw and walked towards her. As he stood over her, he put the lily through her hair, right over her right ear. She turned and smiled.
"Harry, what brings you out here?" she asked.
"There's something I need to do." he replied.
"Okay."
He reached over and took one of her hands, reached into his pocket with the other.
"Jess, I know we've only known each other for almost two years but I love you so much and I want to be married to you and have children with you, children with your eyes, and your lips, and my Quidditch skills, and my last name. Basically what I'm trying to say is, (He opened the small blue velvet box) Jessica Melody Dumbledore, will you marry me?"
She looked from the ring to his face. He watched as a single tear slid down her cheek and she smiled again. She threw her arms around his neck and whispered, "Yes, I will."
Harry hugged her back then kissed her, feeling that in that moment he was happier than he'd been in a very long time.
