Chapter One
A Wedding Proposal
Ginny Weasley surveyed the desert menu in front of her.
"I don't know Nick, I'm really not that hungry. Why don't we just leave it at dinner?"
Nicholas Dalton smiled as he leaned over to gently tuck a loose strand of Ginny's hair behind her ear returned
"But what would be the fun in that?" He asked playfully. "Come on, I hear the chocolate cake is awesome and I know you love chocolate"
Ginny considered this for a bit before placing the menu down and smiling back at him.
"Oh alright, you've convinced me, I suppose I'll just have to have some of this great cake"
Nick's eyes lit up and Ginny couldn't help wondering what was going on, after all, it was just cake.
While Nick called the waiter over to place the order, Ginny couldn't help but think how great her life had turned out. After graduating from Hogwarts with top marks in everything, Ginny had been stuck as to what career path she should follow. She had opted to take a four year course at a magical university on advanced charms as that had been her favourite subject. As the course had drawn to a close, however, she was still at a loss as to what to do when Professor Dumbledore had extended the invitation for her to take over Professor Flitwick's position as Charms professor. Ginny had readily agreed and it was during her trip to Flourish and Blott's to find appropriate texts for her class that she'd met Nick.
Ahh, Nick. She was so blessed to have found him. He was perfect in every way. He was sweet, kind and considerate and always ready for a laugh. He was the manager for the bookstore and she'd first spied him when she had enquired about a particular book. He was tall, almost 6 ft, towering over her own petite 5'3" frame. He had brown hair and the softest blue eyes imaginable. When he smiled, the room lit up and Ginny thought for sure that she was going to melt into some warm puddle. He'd been helpful and friendly and just as she was leaving, he'd asked her if she would go out to dinner.
Of course she agreed, who wouldn't? And with that started 6 of the best months of her life
"Gin? Hey Gin, where've you been for the last 5 minutes?" Nick asked, laughing slightly.
Ginny flushed. "Oh sorry! I was just daydreaming. What's up?"
Nick smiled again at her and pointed to the cake.
"Your desert's arrived"
"Oh, thanks" Ginny said, grabbing her fork and looking at the wonderful mass of chocolate in front of her, a diamond sparkling from the top…A diamond?!
Ginny glanced in wonderment at Nick who had by now knelt down in front of her. Taking her hand, he gave her one of his most ravishing smiles.
"Virginia Anne Weasley, would you do me the great honour of becoming my wife?"
Ginny didn't even have to think as the tears streamed down her face.
"Yes"
