Hello this is my first attempt at a Harry Potter as well as Ron/Harry fanfic. It has not been betaread so please forgive any spelling or grammatical errors as English is not my first language. This is set after the war, like two years after and ignores the epilogue of the last book. If you want to betaread, even if you are not an official betareader on the site and want to betareader for me, just post a review and I will send you a Private Message.
In the Review please mention how you can help me so I can decide if it will be enough for me.
Chapter One: Taking A Step Further
Harry Potter had never known the love of a family. The first family to really love him were the Weasleys and it was also where he had gained his first best friend Ron Weasley on the first train ride. His two best friends Ron and Hermione had been with him through thick and thin. He couldn't imagine his life without either of them, especially Ron.
After the Second Wizarding War had finished, Harry had realised his feelings for Ginny had been that just of like they were for Hermione. It was then that Harry had realised that his heart truly belonged to Ron. A few months later, Harry and Ron had gotten together. Hermione and Ginny also realised their feelings for one another and were also together.
Harry was currently sitting in his room at the Burrow, holding a box in his hand. It had been four years since the war had ended and Harry was now 20 years old. He had taken almost full responsibility of Teddy Lupin who was the son of Remus and Tonks. Out of all the Marauders, Harry felt he could relate to Remus the most. Mainly because, Remus was singled out and punished for something he had no control over. People thought things about him that were not necessarily true and the same could be said about Harry being the Chosen One.
Then, the fact that Remus had also seen a lot in his life. Losing three of his best friends in the frame of 24 hours, then when Sirius was finally found innocent, Remus and Sirius had managed to get back into their relationship, Sirius being gay and Remus being bisexual they had a romance relationship together. However, Sirius had been killed in the Department of Mysteries. Tonks, who was Sirius's cousin had also been fairly upset about her cousin's death. Her and Remus in that period of time became fairly close and eventually Remus managed to find love again and they had gotten married in Harry's seventh year and had their son Teddy Sirius Remus Lupin.
The box Harry was currently twisting in his hands held a blue and white ring. Harry wanted to propose to his boyfriend soon, he wanted to take their relationship to the next level but wanted to do it the right way. His stomach tied into knots but he knew he had to do this. He wanted to make their relationship official by law.
Harry was sure he wanted to go ahead with this. He may be only 20 years of age but he was ready as he would ever be. The black-haired boy headed down the stairs, taking a deep breath. He saw Mr. And Mrs. Weasley sitting together.
"Come Harry, you look worried about something. Is something the matter?" Mrs. Weasley asked. Upon hearing Harry's name, Ron, Hermione and Ginny all came inside. Seeing Ron, Harry felt his heart beat even faster but all the same it made him more determined to go ahead with this.
"Mrs. Weasley, may I speak with you and Mr. Weasley alone please?" Harry asked, twiddling his fingers. Hermione gave him a knowing look but it seemed to make Harry more nervous. From the look on Hermione's face one could tell she had guessed what Harry wanted to talk to the Weasleys about. Ginny and Ron both looked confused however. Harry moved over to Ron, giving a soft kiss before pulling away.
"I'll catch up to you later, I promise." Harry said softly and Ron still looking confused, nodded in agreement before looking at the other two as all three of them headed up the stairs. Mr. and Mrs. Weasley put up silencing charms so no one would try to listen in to them. Mrs. Weasley motioned for Harry to sit down which he did so opposite from Mr. Weasley. Mrs. Weasley gave Harry an encouraging smile.
"Now Harry what would you like to talk to us about?" Mrs. Weasley asked kindly. The black-haired didn't even know if he had felt this scared facing Voldemort especially since at that time there was a chance of him being killed, but right now he wasn't in that sort of danger.
"Mrs. Weasley, both you and Mr. Weasley know that I've had a lot of bad stuff happening in my life. Now, it's finally over. I don't have to face the pain of losing anyone anymore. Also, I love Ron more than my own life. If push came to shove, I would die for him. I...I...want to take my relationship to the next level. I want to ask him to marry me and..." Harry couldn't say anymore and he was pretty sure his face was beetroot red right now but he somehow managed to hold the gaze of the two adult Weasleys which was surprising considering his palms were shaking and his knuckles were white from being nervous.
Mrs. Weasley listened to Harry softly, looking at him. Her eyes filled with tears at his words about her youngest son. Before she used to have a wish to have Harry officially part of her family but having him married to her youngest daughter, but she had been happy for her youngest son and Harry. The red-head plump woman moved forward and hugged Harry, for whom it was very obvious that it had taken him a lot of courage to come and speak to them.
"Harry, the two of us would love nothing more for you and Ron to settle into your life. The two of you have our full blessing with everything, I will support you all the whole way." Mrs. Weasley said teary-eyed. Harry smiled, feeling tears come to his own eyes but his body seemed to relax and he seemed to settle down. Mr. Weasley came over and patted the boy on the back.
"Welcome officially to the family." Mr. Weasley said, a large yet soft grin on his face. Harry felt right now he could float on the highest cloud and even touch the highest mountain from how happy he was. It was in a sense a new beginning for him.
