Disclaimer : I own only the plot.


It was a warm summer afternoon. Harry was sitting in his auror department office. There was a pile of papers lying in front of him which he had to go through that day but instead of working, he was sitting on his chair and thinking, thinking about the only person that he could think of these days , the only person he could pay full attention to , the only person whose words reached his ears and made sense for everyone else was mumbling these days , the person he loved the most – his girlfriend Ginny . These days his world was all about her he just couldn't stop thinking of her – he was crazy about her. He was in love with her.

He was thinking about how wonderful she had looked at lunch that day, her flowing red hair ,her beautiful chocolate brown eyes , her smile that lighted up the entire room , her cute freckles , her soft lips and how they felt on his .She is just perfect he thought . An Office memo flowing into his office and landing right on his desk caught his attention, it had urgent written on it . He sighed and picked it up from there and opened it. His eyes moved quickly through the parchment twice and then widened he re read the memo again . It was from Kingsley Shacklebolt , the minister of magic , it said that he had been offered the job of the head of the auror department . He had to reply by the end of the week and would be appointed as the new head if he accepted the very next month! He immediately sent a yes back to Kingsley.

He was really excited about this, he thought about the future with the new post and soon Ginny came back to his mind …… He had been wanting to take their relationship to the next level but he knew for a fact that she wanted to do it for the first time on her wedding night, she had written it in her diary which he just happen to read! He deeply loved her and really wanted to marry her but he wanted to wait till he was more settled with his job and with this promotion it felt just right, he thought about it and decided that it was time he did it, he was going to propose to Ginny this Friday on their fourth anniversary. It felt absolutely right. He thought about how he would do it, first of all he needed a ring – he knew where to get that, there was a muggle shop near by which sold jewelry and he had hear some muggle ladies once say that it had the best jewelry and this way he could shop for the ring without it making the prophet's front page and ruining everything. As he was just about to get up he saw the pile of papers on his desk – he had to finish all that work before he left that day , so he sat down and set to work at full speed .

By the time Harry finished work that day it was already 7 p.m. and he had to leave for dinner at the Burrow. It had been four years since the final battle, which everyone now called the battle of Hogwarts. Harry and Ginny had got back together soon after .He had joined the ministry as an auror while Ron had joined George and helped him run the shop for a while. Then after two years even Ron had become an auror. Hermione also worked at the ministry but she was in the Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures still working on house elf liberation. Ginny was a professional quiditch player and played for the Holyhead Harpies. She was a celebrated and Fleur now had a two daughters the first was the two year old Victoire and the second was Dominique who was just a month old. Charlie was now in Britain and was married to a co-worker named Emily. Percy had married a girl named Audery and was working as a high official under Kingsley, the minister of magic. Fred had very recently married Angelina Johnson making her Angelina and Hermione were also going out and Ron had told Harry that he was going to propose to her on her birthday.

Harry apparated right outside the Burrow's door and knocked. Ginny opened the door and smiled at him. He pulled her close and gave her a quick kiss on the lips and then they entered together. Ginny told him that Mrs. Weasley was in the kitchen and everyone else had already arrived. They went to the burrow's backyard and after greeting everyone joined in the conversations. Every now and then Harry stole a glance at Ginny and smiled and thought to himself, "she is so perfect! It would be so nice to be with her for the rest of my life. Life would be so perfect with her!" "How are you Harry dear?" Mrs. Weasley said breaking his chain of thought. This reminded him that he had to ask her parents permission before proposing. He replied saying that he was doing well.

Soon Mrs. Weasley served dinner and everyone was sitting down at tables in the lawn. Harry sat down across from Ginny and all evening he just couldn't tear his eyes from her. He barely talked to anyone at dinner, making small talk with the Weasley brothers or Hermione. Hermione who was sitting right next to him noticed that Harry was staring at Ginny much more than he usually did.

So after dinner she found him alone and asked, " Harry, What is it?"

"What is what?" Harry asked her.

"What is it with you staring at Ginny way more than you usually do?"

"Nothing Hermione"

"C'mon Harry I've know you for a very long time and I know there is something going on here."

Harry blushed at this and replied, "Well its nothing Hermione, really."

Hermione replied with a look as if saying 'Huh?Really?'. Harry just sighed, checked that Ginny was out of earshot and whispered to her, "Well I'm going to propose to her"

"No way! That is so great! I'm so happy for you!" she replied in a whisper.

"But I haven't told anyone else yet so you have to promise me you'll not tell anyone, even…no especially Ron."

"Okay, I promise Harry."

Rest of the evening went without any more revelations until after dinner.

After dinner everyone slowly left and only Ron, Harry, Ginny and Mrs. And Mr. Weasley were left at the burrow. Ron and Ginny went up to their rooms and Harry said goodbye and apparated but only to the front door because he still had to ask Mrs. And Mr. Weasley's permission to marry Ginny. As soon as he heard the sound of two doors close and he knew Ginny and Ron were in their rooms he apparated back in. He told the bewildered looking Mr. And Mrs. Weasley that he wanted to talk to them privately. They led him to the living room and they all sat down.

Both the Weasleys stared curiously at Harry. Harry took a deep breath and said "Mrs. Weasley, Mr. Weasley, umm actually I…, er its about Ginny …..I want to marry her and … I wanted to take your permission before I asked her…."

"Oh Harry Dear! This is such great news, of course you have our permission we couldn't be luckier than to have you as a son as well as a son in law!"Mrs. Weasley cut in. Mr. Weasley nodded in his approval. They both smiled at him and then they bid goodnight once again and Harry apparated this time back to his own house.
