Asking Arthur
Harry knew what she wanted. And he's beginning to think that he wants it to. He decides to go the traditional rout and ask her dad for his blessing first.
"Hey Mr. Weasley" he said as Arthur came home from work
"Oh hello Harry." He replied sheepishly sitting down.
"Erm Mr. Weasley could I ask you something?" he asked nervously
"Ask away" he nodded
"So you know Ginny and I have been dating for five years now. And I was wondering if I- if we could have your blessing" he said quickly and nervously
"About time" he said smiling "And of course, but don't worry, I won't tell Molly yet" he said smiling, proud to have been included.
Getting the Ring
After receiving permission from Arthur, Harry asked Hermione to help him pick out a ring. They went to a muggle store and walked up and down the show cases of engagement rings when Harry stopped at one.
"Hermione" he called and she came over "I think this may be the one" he said pointing to ring in the back with a knotted gold band and a diamond with an emerald on each side.
Hermione gasped, "Oh, Harry its perfect" she said as Harry looked at the ring closely.
After paying for the ring Harry explained exactly how he planned on asking Ginny, and Hermione never ceased smiling.
Setting up the Big Night
Harry bustles around planning everything. He gets reservations to her favorite restaurant, buys new dress robes, and we sure to tell her to wear a very pretty dress. He also had hired a photographer to document the event from a nearby table. He was so nervous, but knew deep in his heart, every think would work out perfectly. The date was August 10, 2009, just one day before her 28th birthday.
The Question
Harry sat there smiling at Ginny and she wondered what was up, so she asked
"Harry, is everything alright?" she asked furrowing her brow
"Oh, yes, everything is perfect in fact" he said smiling brightly "How's your dinner?" he asked her
"Oh, it's wonderful; you know this is my favorite place to eat." She said nodding
"I'm glad babe" he said holding her hand softly, he knew this was the perfect time, and turned to the photographer and nodded, it was time. He let go of her hand and reached in to his pocket, pulling out the ring and bending to his knee, "Ginerva Molly Weasley, would you do me the honor of becoming my wife?" he asked proud and confidently. Ginny immediately began to cry
"Oh, Harry" she said nodding "Of course" she said as he slipped the ring on her finger, gave her a kiss and the room erupted in applause.
They Tell Molly
Harry and Ginny went home that night and decided they would head to the Burrow the next morning for breakfast; everyone would be home anyways, so it was the perfect time. They got there the next morning and they popped in. Harry winked and smiled at Arthur and they sat down at the table, "Morning everyone" called Harry and Ginny. Ginny purposely used her right hand the entirety of the day, until finally Molly gasped "Ginny!" she squealed she grinned slightly "Yes mum?" she asked innocently. "Y-yo-you have a ring!" she exclaimed. She nodded and leaned into Harry's shoulder "Last night" As soon as the words were out of her mouth, Molly stood up and began to immediately begin to make the wedding plans and after breakfast the two head home for her birthday dinner.
