I hope you enjoy this story. This is my first story ever, so reviews would be appreciated. Thanks :)
Harry adjusted his new tie nervously. Ginny would be here any minute now and he still didn't know what to say besides the obvious 'I love you! Will you marry me?'. He searched for the ring in his pocket, clenching the tiny box in his fist. There she was…
'Hi sweetie!', she exclaimed happily before kissing him passionately.
'You really made an effort! I can't believe I was away for three days and this is what I've come home to.' Her dark brown eyes observed every detail carefully. There were hovering candles everywhere. A sweet reminder of better days at Hogwarts and Harry had opened the door to the garden. The night sky was filled with millions of bright stars.
'I never knew you could be so romantic, Harry!'
Harry got a hold of her hand and squeezed it gently. 'Please come with me..'
Ginny noticed he was very nervous. His hands were sweaty and he kept moving around. She stepped outside and enjoyed the scenery. Their small house had a rather large garden (thanks to a very effective enlargement spell) and little fireflies flew around, illuminating the path to the rather large oak tree. Harry and Ginny had spent many hours enjoying its shade during the last heat wave. It was the tree that convinced Ginny to buy this house. She always dreamed of a large garden with trees and swings. She had this perfect romantic vision of family life. It was something she held onto, especially after what happened at Hogwarts. Harry and Ginny both needed to find new purpose for their lives. Yes, they had friends and family, but they had lost so many during this dark war. Ginny felt tears prickling in her eyes when she remembered everyone they had lost. She didn't want to cry, not tonight. She already knew what was going to happen. Harry wasn't very skilled when it came to surprises. She had found a small box in his suitcase and heard him whispering on the phone with Hermione. She didn't say anything. She wanted him to do everything he planned. She would be happy either way.
'Ginny? Ginny? I know this all might seem a bit strange, but I really want this to be special. You see… I…. I'm not good at explaining what I feel, especially when it comes to you.. I love you so much and there's only one thing that would make me happier than I already am. Will you marry me?'
Ginny smiled and hugged Harry. She held him tight and kissed his cheeks and lips.
'I'm assuming that's a 'yes'?', Harry replied sluggishly. He was relieved. He knew she would probably say yes, but it had to be a special moment. Ginny assured him by kissing him once again, long and passionately.
'I can't believe you did this for me. Thank you,… but now I have to call Hermione.. and my parents.. and my brothers… and.. well.. basically everyone. Come on, we have a wedding to plan!', Ginny shouted as she ran inside. Harry just laughed. They had been living together for almost a year now. Things would change now that they were going to be married. He didn't worry.. He would love every single minute of it.
'Hermione! Guess what!', Ginny practically screamed whilst holding the telephone. Harry could hear Hermione's excited screams on the other side of the room. Planning the wedding was going to be an interesting process. He smiled and kissed Ginny's neck before walking towards the kitchen for a glass of water.
