Chapter 2: Home at the Weasley's
Disclaimer: once again I do not own any of the characters in this story only the plot belongs to me
Harry and Ron were sitting around the kitchen table awaiting Hermione and Ginny's arrival. Molly Weasley was busy with the order so she had Ron and Ginny go collect Harry and Hermione, so they all left around the same time, in order to make it home in time to go and take their apparitions tests. With a sudden glow of light Hermione fell out of the grate and with a sudden 'pop' Ginny appeared in front of the table. Hermione pushed her truck out of the way and walked quickly towards Ron who then in turn stood up and gave her a very passionate kiss. Ginny also moved but towards Harry and pulled him into a hug.
'I'm so glad your o.k.; I was so worried about you Harry. I love you and never want to lose you ever.' He wrapped her into another hug then without thinking kissed her passionately. 'I love you too Ginny and am never going to leave your side.' After a long silence from both parties, Molly appeared along with half of the order members including Sirius and Remus. Sirius then broke the silence surrounding them all.
'Well I hear congratulations are in order Harry!" Everyone looked around and nodded. "Congratulations on being made Head Boy and Quidditch Captain, knew you had it in you. And I know for a fact your father and mother would be so proud of you!" Sirius then walked over to Harry and gave him a hug. "One more thing congratulations Ginny on making Head Girl, you deserve it, along with the fact that you beat Hermione by one mark in Defence Against the dark Arts and that she is happy being just a prefect." "Thank-You Sirius, I'm glad to have gotten the position." Ginny said this quite awkwardly. She then walked back over to Harry and wrapped her arms around him. In another hour or so Harry, Ron and Hermione would be taking their apparition tests. Suddenly with a load 'pop' everyone was pulled from their thoughts as Dumbledore appeared. "Would you excuse us for a moment, noticing that I want the students to all leave?" "No Professor I'm old enough to listen in on meetings and join the order, so is everyone else. I'm sorry but no more keeping me in the dark, Sir" Harry replied with a hint of anger to his voice. "Harry this is not order business this concerns the ministry of magic, can you excuse us please." "O.k. Ron, Hermione, and I have to go anyway, and thank-you for the birthday present and the appointments." "Your welcome, Harry you deserved it and good luck on your test, bye Harry, see you soon." Dumbledore watched as the two couples disappeared. Ron, Harry and Hermione decided to go now to take their tests and apparate right home and start researching for the war to end all wars, the war of chaos. "One minute, I have to talk to Dumbledore, be right back, and meet me here so we can leave." Harry dashed back into the kitchen and walked over to Dumbledore. Dumbledore turned around. "What is it Harry?" "I need you to help me become an animagus, I want to be able to turn into and animal at will, it may help out!" "Well Harry I can show you, but you will have to work really hard at it or it may be that you are a natural at it considering your dad was strong in that area, we will begin at the start of the year, you should be able to master it by Christmas break." "Thank-you Professor. Goodbye." Harry quickly exited the kitchen and went to the grate in the living room where Ginny was anxiously waiting to say goodbye and wish him good luck. Harry walked up behind her and slipped his arms around her and told he loved her and would see her soon. Ginny turned and kissed goodbye and the watched as one by one they disappeared into the grate.
When they reached their destination at the ministry, they proceeded to the ministers' office to take their tests. "Minister Weasley." The office door opened and Arthur Weasley ushered them inside, he had been given the role as minister as he was the perfect candidate. "Good afternoon Ron, Harry, Hermione, I assume you are here to complete your apparitions test, so lets start, here are your coordinates/ destinations. You will then apparate back here after you have talked to a man named Cornelius Fudge, the ex-minister for magic, see you when you return!" With a small 'pop' Hermione vanished, then Ron and finally Harry and then they all appeared in the ministers office at the Leaky Cauldron where Fudge awaited to show them the coordinates back to the ministry, they had passed. Once again with a small 'pop' they were back in Arthur Weasley's office. They had passed distinguished. When they were back, they waited for Arthur to return to give them their licenses. About ten minutes later Arthur returned with other members of the order, who are obviously on good terms with the ministry as the minister is a member as well. "As Minister for Magic I am pleased to announce that you all passed on your first try distinguished, Great job, Here are your licenses. Mr. Potter if you will so kindly wait here a minute, there is something we need to discuss. Hermione, Ron we will meet you at home. Good day." Arthur then escorted his son and his girlfriend out of the office and imperturbed the door. He then turned, walked back to his desk and sat down. "Mr. Potter…." "Mr. Weasley its Harry, I do not care if you are Minister for Magic but you are a very close friend and almost like a father to me. Please it's Harry." "Well than Harry, I am aware that you are going out with my little girl and I know that you love and would protect her from everything but I must ask what your intentions are." Harry was absolutely in shock and replied. "Mr. Weasley, I love your daughter and wish to request your permission for her hand in marriage, in the near future when the war is finally over and we are free again." Harry looked at the ground then back to Mr. Weasley. Once again Arthur spoke. "Harry this is certainly a big step but I do accept although it might be easier if you were married before the war as those you love make you stronger Harry." "Mr. Weasley shouldn't you mention this to Mrs. Weasley, I am planning on proposing to Ginny before school starts." Harry already had his mind made up he loved her and needed her with him, plus he already has a ring, it was his mothers engagement ring and he wanted it to be Ginny's too. "Harry does not feel as if I am pressuring you but this war is coming and Ginny is a big part of it." "Mr. Weasley, I've been planning this since Christmas last year, I want her to be a part of my life." "Well than Harry what are you going to do about a ring……… if you do not mind me asking?" "I already have one sir, it was my mothers." "Oh well than Harry I was just curious because Sirius told me he gave them to you. Well why don't we go home, Harry!" "Yeah let's go and Mr. Weasley I request permission to take your daughter to Paris tomorrow night for dinner?" "Harry you know it's dangerous, but I will let you because I know the circumstances for going am I right?" "Yes and thank-you, one more thing no shadows or guards, I will make sure we get home in one piece and Voldemort will never know because I am a fully accomplished occlumens and Legillimens." "Ok Harry and good luck!" With that they apparated. Once they returned to the Weasley manor they found the entire order including Dumbledore there waiting to begin the meeting starting with introducing a new member. They all proceeded to the kitchen. Harry, Ron and Hermione were already members because they are the ones deeply involved, so Harry and Dumbledore are in charge and Harry requested to let in a new member. "I know some of you will have a problem with the person I want fighting by my side but it is not up to you anymore as this person is of age. Ginny is a major part in fighting Voldemort to me and I want her by my side. Ginny if you accept the terms of the order you may stand and come sit by me and Professor Dumbledore." Ginny stood much to the undelight of her Mrs. Weasley and went and sat down next to Harry. After a few more hours the meeting adjourned and Harry and Dumbledore remained. "Professor I need to tell you that I shall be proposing to Ginny tomorrow night, I am taking her to Paris, but I need you to promise no guards as I can take care of myself, I am qualified to." "Harry I'm happy for you and trust in your instincts completely. Good luck!" and with that he apparated. Harry quietly walked upstairs to his own room only to find Ginny sleeping, he picked her up and brought her to her own room and then wrapped her in his arms and fell asleep.
A/N nothing happens tonight Ginny and Harry just sleep
