Scars
"Harry, are you ever going to uncover my eyes so I can see this surprise of yours?"
"Just a moment."
"Are we there yet?"
"Almost."
"Now can I open my eyes?"
"Okay. Open."
"Oh, it's beautiful! Look at all of those flowers! You must've put so much work into this!"
"I'm glad you like it, Ginny."
"What was it you wanted to tell me?"
"Well, I suppose now's a good time as any. Merlin, this floor is hard."
"Oh my goodness! Do mine eyes betray me?"
"Very funny. Ginny, I've known you since I was eleven, and loved you since I was seventeen—"
"A whole three years!"
"—and despite your smart mouth, I can't think of another person that I would like to spend the rest of my life with more than you. Would you be content to have a taken-for-granted, knobby-kneed, bullheaded, scarfaced husband?"
"Does he come with pancakes for breakfast every Sunday? Because if he doesn't, I really don't think—"
"Ginny!"
"I'm joking! I've waited for this day my whole life. Do you really think I'm going to say 'no'?"
"Are you going to say 'yes'?"
"Is the sky blue?"
"Ginny!"
"YES!"
"…."
"Harry?"
"Yeah, Gin?"
"Do you really not like your scar?"
"No, not really."
"Hmmm…. Harry?"
"Yeah?"
"I just wanted you to know—"
"What?"
"I dig your facial scar."
"Oh…. Thank you."
"You're welcome."
"Why are you giggling?"
"Do you know who else digs your scar?"
"Who?"
"Moaning Myrtle. She's the one who said it first!"
"That's not funny."
"I think it is. She thought you were really—er—swell."
"Well, I don't love Myrtle. Thank Merlin I'm alive and don't have to share a toilet with her."
"Nope, you get to share a toilet with me and woe unto you if you leave the seat down when you use it, and if you leave it up when you're done. Just so you know, Harry."
"Right."
"…."
"Harry?"
"Mmm-hmm?"
"I like your knees too. Even though they are knobby."
Author's Note: Yet another crazy, but less insane piece of work. More mild, I would say. I'm not capable of going all-out crazy. We'll leave that for other people to do. But if it brought a smile to your face, please take a few seconds to tell me why!
