AN: Just a little timeline to help make things a little clearer. Ciao!
Month One: It was the first time they made love. It was also the night they told each other I love you.
Month Two: They told Draco's parents that they were dating. His parents were surprisingly supportive. It turned out that they didn't care as long as he made Draco happy, and Draco was very happy! (The war had drastically changed his family.)
Month Three: They announced to the wizarding world that they were dating. The support that they received was astounding. Draco supposed that they just wanted their Savior to be happy and they saw that he was with him.
Month Four: Harry helped Draco open a restaurant that catered to magical creatures. It was time that his lover's talents were put to use. Draco would work at the restaurant during his spare time; otherwise, he hired others to carry out his wishes. Ginny was included among the ranks. Surprisingly she had paid attention when her mother had taught her how to cook.
Month Five: Draco was often found alone during this month, thinking about the future.
Month Six: They finished their auror training. They were now fully fledged aurors. The worrying began!
Month Seven: Draco realized that he wanted to spend the rest of his life with Harry.
Month Eight: Charlie began seeing a guy from the dragon reservation he worked at. His name was Cameron.
Month Nine: It was Draco that landed in the hospital with a concussion and a few broken ribs. Harry caught the Death Eater that put him in the hospital and will be attending his trial.
Month Ten: Harry realized that he wanted to spend the rest of his life with Draco.
Month Eleven: Ron and Hermione announced that they were going to have a baby. She was only four weeks pregnant.
Month Twelve: It was time.

Upon realizing that he wanted to spend the rest of his life with Harry, Draco had done a lot of thinking. Now sitting here with Mr. and Mrs. Weasley in the small restaurant Draco decided it was time. He often took them out for dinner now to give Mrs. Weasley a break from cooking. On these days Harry would take the food Draco had so carefully prepared the day before over to the Weasley's and eat with them.
But how to do it? Finally he couldn't take it.
"May I have your permission?" he blurted out.
"Permission for what dear?" asked Mrs. Weasley. At her words Draco flushed and started shifting. Now he had to finish the sentence.
"Uh," he said. Then he realized what he was doing. Malfoy's didn't stall! Taking a deep breath he finished the sentence.
"May I have your permission to ask Harry to marry me?" Not letting them speak he continued. "You're the closest thing he's got to parents, so it's only right that I ask you. I would very much like it if we had your blessing." We he paused to take a breath he glanced at them to find tears pouring down Mrs. Weasley's face.
"I'm sorry," he said quickly thinking that they were angry tears. "I shouldn't have asked. Please enjoy your dinner. I'll just leave now." However, when he went to stand Mrs. Weasley caught him by the wrist.
"Wait," she said pulling him back down. She tried wiping her tears away and finally managed to stop crying as Draco watched her in silence.
"I'm sorry if you thought that I didn't want you marrying Harry," she said. "Because the truth is that I would like it very much if you would marry Harry."
"You mean…?" asked Draco. Mrs. Weasley nodded and Draco couldn't help but swallow the woman in a hug. "But then what were the tears about?"
Mrs. Weasley pulled back and looked at him. "Because you considered us Harry's parents and thought enough to ask us for our blessing. It means the world to us," she said nodding at her husband. It was at this point that Draco noticed that Mr. Weasley was also crying.
"So," said Mrs. Weasley as they sat back after drying their tears. "When are you going to ask him?" Draco smiled.
"Soon. Would you like to go with my mother and me to pick out a ring? Of course, I have to tell her first that I plan on marrying him." At his words Mrs. Weasley's smile grew and she agreed.
The rest of the night was filled with talk of plans.
Author's Note: So this chapter is short, and as you can see it skipped eleven months in their relationship. However, I gave you a timeline to fill in some gaps along the way. I may eventually go back and do some additional chapters. However, this is all for now. I wanted to add that no, I am not going to do a wedding chapter. The next chapter is going to be the proposal (another short chapter) and then the epilogue. I may eventually add it, but not at this time. It just doesn't fit in my plans at the moment. Two more chapters to go. I can't believe I'm writing this much even though I'm sick! Ciao for now, countryangel!
