So… on with the story then...

You Picked Me

"Hello Mrs. Weasley. I'm here to get Ginny." Harry Potter said, standing in the kitchen of the Burrow, a place where he felt comfortable and well-liked.

"Of course, dear. She'll be right down. Do you want a spot of breakfast before you go?" Mrs. Weasley's kind eyes looked into Harry's green ones.

"No thank you. I've got a picnic breakfast for Ginny and I."

Ginny bounded down the stairs before Mrs. Weasley could respond. "Bye, mum. See you later." She said as she pulled Harry out the door. "So where are we going today?"

"I thought we could go for a little ride and then have a picnic breakfast." Harry retrieved his broomstick and mounted it, Ginny hopped on behind him.

Harry kicked off and the two began to soar upwards until the houses underneath them were no more than tiny little dots.

One, two, three
Counting out the signs we see
The tall buildings
Fading in the distance
Only dots on a map


Ginny wrapped her arms tightly around Harry's waist, glad to be here and nowhere else. She held her face to Harry's back, breathing in his wonderful scent. She couldn't help but notice how their bodies seemed to fit together like two puzzle pieces.

Four, five, six
The two of us a perfect fit
You're all mine, all mine

Harry circled down into the field where he had set up their picnic. The sight took Ginny's breath away. The picnic was set up in a clearing in the field, and it was completely surrounded by wildflowers so tall that if they lay down they could not be seen from the small road that ran parallel to the field.

And all I can say
Is you blow me away

Harry touched down lightly and set the broom next to the red and white checkered blanket. He sat down on it and gently pulled Ginny into his lap. He gave her a soft kiss on the lips before offering her a strawberry from the assortment of food he had set out. They sat in silence for a while, until curiosity got the better of Harry. "Ginny, what made you choose me? You could have anyone you wanted, and yet, you picked me. Why?"


Like an apple on a tree
Hiding out behind the leaves
I was difficult to reach
But you picked me
Like a shell upon a beach
Just another pretty piece
I was difficult to see
But you picked me
Yeah you picked me

"Well," she began, "You're smart, good-looking, athletic, and charming. Who wouldn't want you?"

She smiled at him and nestled her head into the nape of his neck, where again, their bodies seemed to be made for each other.


So softly
Rain against the windows
And the strong coffee
Warming up my fingers
In this fisherman's house
You got me
Searched the sand
And climbed the tree
And brought me back down

Again, they sat without speaking, just enjoying each other's company.


And all I can say
Is you blow me away

This time, it was Ginny who broke the silence. "Harry, what made you choose me? You could have anyone you wanted, and yet, you picked me. Why?" she parroted his words back at him jokingly, but at the same time, more serious than she had ever been before.


Like an apple on a tree
Hiding out behind the leaves
I was difficult to reach
But you picked me
Like a shell upon a beach
Just another pretty piece
I was difficult to see
But you picked me
Yeah you picked me

"Well, you're smart, good-looking, athletic, and charming. Who wouldn't want you?" Harry repeated her own response back to her in the same jokingly serious tone.

Like an apple on a tree
Hiding out behind the leaves
I was difficult to reach
But you picked me
Like a shell upon a beach
Just another pretty piece
I was difficult to see
But you picked me

"Ginny, I have to tell you the real reason I brought you here today." Harry said.

"What is it Harry?" Ginny looked confused.

"I have something to ask you. Ginevra Molly Weasley,"

Like an apple on a tree
Hiding out behind the leaves
I was difficult to reach
But you picked me

"Will you marry me?" Harry held out a diamond ring that sparkled in the morning sunlight.


Like a shell upon a beach
Just another pretty piece
I was difficult to see
But you picked me

"Yes."


Yeah you picked me
