Prompt: Heart
A Moment Like This
It was all worth it she learned. All the heartache, the pain, and the joy. It had all been moving towards this moment, this one perfect moment, and she couldn't be happier that it was finally here.
It hadn't been easy for them, far from it. Anything and everything seemed to blow into their path, determined to pull them apart. When she left Hogwarts she thought this would never happen, they had had their chance, and it had blown away in the wind. She was wrong, and she'd never been happier to be wrong.
A chance meeting in a pub in Muggle London, and it had started all over again. Much to her surprise Harry hadn't married Ginny, and they didn't have a whole lot of kids with messy red hair. Seems Harry's relationships, much like her own had a nasty habit of falling apart.
They took it slow, it had been nearly three years since she had seem him last. There was a lot of catching up that had to be done, and she liked it. It gave her an opportunity to get to know him again, and this was a different Harry. A mature, had his head screwed on right kind of Harry, and it didn't hurt matters that he had become very good looking in the time gone by.
After a short amount of time it was perfect, the things that had drawn her to Harry in the first place, and him to her, had still been there, everything fell into place. It was as if this was how it was supposed to be all along, so many times over the past couple of years she had hit herself for letting things get between them to begin with. She knew however that if it hadn't Harry and herself wouldn't be the people that they were now, and this wouldn't be the same.
Cho know knew that Harry was the one for her, the only one for her, and if what was about to happen was any indication, he felt the same way.
They had gone out to dinner, to one of their favourite places. Now she was sitting on the couch in his flat watching him pace a little, straighten somethings un-necessarily, then ask her again if she'd like a cup of tea.
"No Harry," she smiled. "Come sit down," she patted the spot next to her.
He sat down next to her, she could feel his leg shaking, his hands fidgeting with the hem of his shirt.
"Harry, stop it, what's wrong?"
"Nothing. Nothing is wrong, every things fine, perfect, it couldn't be better."
"Then calm down."
"Yeah, sure."
"What's going on?"
"Uh," he looked at her finally, and he gave her a smile, "I'll be right back."
Her heart started racing as she watched him practically run to his bedroom, this was it, it was finally happening. She was sure of it. Harry came back with a very nervous smile on his face, as he sat down next to her.
"God," he muttered, "I don't know how to do this."
"Yes," she whispered.
"What?" He said.
"If it's what I think it is then yes, if it isn't then I've made a very big fool out of myself," she said, putting her head in her hands, anything not to look at Harry.
"I think it's the former," he said quietly, taking her hand away from her head, pulling something out of his pocket.
"It is?"
"Yes," he laughed.
She looked at him then, watching him slip a ring onto her finger, "It's beautiful. I love you Harry."
"I love you too," he said before kissing her.
