Please read and review. I'll write more if you guys like. This is just a little sample of what I have planned. If you like it let me know, and I'll finish tomorrow.
JKR owns all!
It was Friday, June 17 and for most, wizards and muggles alike, there was nothing special about this hot and hazy afternoon. For one wizarding house however, this summer's eve would change their lives.
It had been another boring summer's day for the trio who were so used to being in constant action. Though they had found jobs in various wizarding shops in Diagon Alley, it still didn't compare to being at Hogwarts.
"I'm going to King's Cross to fetch Ginny. Anyone coming, I'm leaving now." Mrs. Weasley's voice rang through the cozy walls of the burrow and managed to reach Ron's attic room quiet clearly. Harry, Ron, and Hermione looked at each other hoping one of the others would suggest they accept the offer so as to escape the confines of the burrow.
"I know we had work today but blimey if I spend another minute listening to the ghoul's pathetic moans I think I'll cut off my ear."
"Not funny Ron." George said after he unexpectedly apparated into Ron's already cramped room. "You should appreciate your ears Ron. I never did and look where that got me!"
"Oh shove off George. I'm going with Mum, you two joining me?
"You two go on," said Harry "I'll stay behind if you don't mind."
"You sure Harry? I can stay with you if you'd -"
" No! I -uh you go Hermione. Go with Ron, I just need to have a quick word with him before you go."
Harry's determined eyes met Ron's questioning ones. They held each other's gaze for a moment before George spoke.
"Er- Hermione best leave these two to their uh- gossip."
"But Harry's just said he needs a word before we leave."
"With Ron." Said Harry curtly.
" Face it Hermione," began George, "we're not wanted here." And before she could object George grabbed Hermione's arm and disapparated to meet Mrs. Weasley in the kitchen.
Ron stared curiously at where Hermione and George had just vanished. After he could stand the silence no more, he addressed Harry.
"Well if you won't address the hipogriff in the room-" Ron began but Harry was not one to small-talk his way through a conversation
"I'm going to marry Ginny."
"Excuse me!"
"I am going to ask your sister, Ginny, to marry me. Tonight."
"And a thick git like you wouldn't think to ask your best friend first!"
"Ron, I don't need your permission. I will ask her to marry me, tonight, at dinner. She's coming home to her own engagement party. Please Ron, I don't need your permission, but I'd like your blessing."
Ron collapsed onto his bed and absently shook his head at Harry. "Bloody hell mate, don't you think it's too soon? I mean Merlin knows I want to marry Hermione, but I'm not asking her now!"
"But why not Ron? This year I've done nothing but go to Quality Quiditch Supplies, sold a few broom maintenance kits, come home, sleep and repeat the same routine. I want to start living my life, my life with Ginny."
"Blimey Harry, I don't know what to say." Ron rubbed the back of his head awkwardly.
"Well, do I have your blessing? You're my best friend and it wouldn't seem proper-"
"Of course you have my blessing Harry! You think I want my little sister running around with some prick? Your much better for her than some old git, not to mention she'd as good as kill me she found out I said no."
"So that's a yes? I have your blessing?"
"You have my blessing mate." The two friends clapped each other on the back. "Hey, we'll actually be brothers now!" Harry said as the thought crossed his mind for the first time.
"Great! Just what I need another brother!" The two laughed as they clamored down the stairs to meet Hermione and George in the kitchen.
"You gunna tell 'er?" Ron asked jerking his head to Hermione.
"Nah," Said Harry. "just you and your dad. Everyone else will find out eventually."
"I'm leaving now and I mean it this time!" Mrs. Weasley shouted as she walked from the living room and into the cluttered kitchen.
"Oi! Mum, we're right here." Ron rolled his eyes.
"Yes well, I'm leaving. Are you coming Ronald? Hermione? Oh and Harry of course Ginny can't wait to see you." Mrs. Weasley shepherded them out to the back porch.
"Actually Mrs. Weasley, I'm going to help Arthur set out some tables by the garden. You know Kingsly, Percy, Fleur, Bill, Charlie, maybe even Andromeda and Teddy are coming for dinner?"
"Yes, I invited them for Ginny's final welcome home diner. Well all right then, let's go you two." And with that Mrs. Weasley, Ron and Hermione disapparated for King's Cross leaving George and Harry in the kitchen.
"Well mate, set an extra seat for Angelina, I'm off to get her." And George too dissaparated, leaving Harry alone in the Burrow with Mr. Weasley.
Like I said just a taste of my plan. PLEASE read and review. Thanks 3
