Biggest Challenge: Part 2
"Nervous?" asked Ron, with a smirk.
Harry nodded and took a deep breath.
"Don't worry, mate. What's the worse that can happen; she can realize what an idiot you are and says no, or she can say she's just realized she hopelessly in love with Draco Malfoy- I'm kidding!" he broke off, as Harry got up to punch him.
"God you're touchy, Harry," said Ron.
"Oh, come on Harry," said Hermione, rolling her eyes at Ron. "It's really not that hard."
"Easy for you to say," said Harry. "You don't have to propose."
Hermione blushed. "You never know," she mumbled.
"Sorry?" said Ron. "Didn't catch that last part."
"Never mind," replied Hermione quickly, then turning to Harry. "Shouldn't you be getting a move on?"
"Um, I guess so," said Harry, turning around to see himself in the mirror one last time.
"You look great Harry," said Hermione. "You really should be going now. Good luck!" And with that, Harry Disapparated into thin air.
Two seconds later, Harry arrived at the doorstep of the Burrow.
'Well, here goes everything,' thought Harry. He then knocked on the door, and was welcomed by Molly.
"Oh, hello Harry dear," said Molly. "I'll call Ginny down. Please, come in and make yourself comfortable."
"Thanks, Molly," replied Harry. He walked into the living room and wandered around. He looked at old pictures of the Weasley family; Molly and Arthur's wedding, Ron and Ginny playing Quidditch, and five year old Fred and George pulling their first pranks on Ron…
He felt sad as he saw pictures of Fred alive and laughing
"I looked good with both ears, huh?"
Harry turned around and saw George Weasley standing there.
"Hey George," Harry said. "I was just looking at some of your pictures."
"Yeah, I wasn't as holey as I am now, eh?" George replied. "But those were some good times."
"Hmm," Harry responded uncomfortably.
"Hi, Harry."
Harry turned around to see Ginny Weasley coming down the stairs. She was wearing a golden low cut dress. Harry stood up and stared at her with an open mouth until George walked in and shut it for him.
"You know, that's my sister you're drooling all over," George said.
"Shall we leave?" asked Ginny, ignoring her brother.
"Yeah, I guess so," Harry said, chuckling nervously. Ginny took Harry's hand as they walked out of the Burrow.
"So where are we going?" Ginny asked.
"You'll see," Harry replied. Then, they both Disapparated into the night.

"Oh, my little baby girl is going to get married!" Molly said with tears of happiness in her eyes as she watched Harry and Ginny Disapparate.
"What!" George yelped. "How do you know?"
"Isn't it obvious?" Molly replied with a condescending smile.

They arrived at the banks of a sparkling, blue lake. Ginny looked around to see a riverboat with candles hanging magically around it.
"Harry, where are we?" she inquired.
"This is Gryffindor Lake." Harry answered nervously. "It's right behind Godric's Hollow." He turned to the boat. "Shall we?" he asked.
"Um, sure," Ginny replied. Harry helped her onto the boat and waved his wand. The boat gently sailed on the sparkly water.
"I never knew this lake existed," Ginny said.
"Neither did I," Harry replied. "I found out recently from Hagrid."
"How did he know about it?" she asked.
"In my first year, he went out looking for pictures of my parents to put in an album for me." Harry said. "Remus told him about it. This was the place my dad proposed to my mum."
"Oh," Ginny said, softly.
This was it. It was now or never, and he had to do it now.
"Erm, Ginny, I have something to ask you…"
