The Big Question!

Neville Longbottom took a deep breath as he tried to pull himself together, thoughts ran through his mind at the same rate a Snitch would be hard to find on a stormy night. Thoughts of his past failures flashed before him as he fiddled about with the small box that he held protectively in his hand.

'I can do this, this is nothing considering I somehow managed to get through the war' Neville told himself encouragingly while thinking of all the different combinations he could try to ask his lover the question.

Trying to keep calm Neville walked through the house looking for his long time boyfriend, with every step he took his nerves grew, his hand stayed glued to the small box in his pocket guarding it as if it was one of the most precious treasures on the planet.

'Stop being so nervous' Neville told himself as he continued to walk through the house looking for his boyfriend 'You know everything is going to be alright, even the new Minister has agreed so there'll be no problems with the press having a field day or with politics…this decision of mine is meant to be a happy exciting one….not a terrifying one…'

"Neville?" a familiar voice called out from the kitchen making Neville freeze, "Is that you? Are you back from work early?"

Gulping nervously Neville's grip on the small black box in his hand tightened as he replied, "Yeah…I err…I finished all of my work early and well…I got allowed to return home early."

"That's great!" Harry cried out happily as he walked over to Neville and gave the nervous young man a hug, "How did today go? I remember you saying something about having a big event on?"

"Y-Yeah, it went alright, I got everything sorted out," Neville replied nervously as he wrapped one arm around Harry's waist while keeping his other one firmly in his pocket, "How was your day? Did Ron and Hermione come over for a visit?"

"Well…they did come over but they brought Ginny with them," Harry replied with a heavy sigh as he snuggled into Neville's hold, "They're my friends and I care about them, I really do and all and we have gone through a war together but…well…I don't know if it is me but I sort of expected them to…"

"Of grown up?" Neville asked as he placed a loving kiss on top of Harry's forehead.

"Yeah and well…the way they keep trying to get me to break up with you and marry Ginny…I feel like I'm back at Hogwarts and I'm a student being told off by the teacher!"

Chuckling softly Neville nodded his head in understanding, "Yeah, Hermione does have that effect on people."

Smiling up at his boyfriend Harry tilted his head to the side in confusion as he spotted a look of fear and bravery shining in Neville's eyes. Frowning in worry Harry raised his arm and ran a soothing hand through Neville's short hair, a smile came to his face as Neville unknowingly relaxed into his touch.

"What is wrong love?" Harry asked as he continued his ministrations, "I've not seen you like this scince before the war, back when you were a nervous first year student. Is something wrong?"

"I…everything is fine Harry but…but can I ask you a question?" Neville asked nervously as he pulled out the small black box from his pocket.

"You know you can ask me anything," Harry replied confusedly only to gasp in shock, surprise and hope when he spotted the black box resting in the middle of his boyfriend's hand, "N-Neville love…is…it that what…I think it is?"

"Yes," Neville replied feeling much more confident at his lover's happiness, "Harry…will you marry me?"

"You big idiot!" Harry cried out as tears of joy fell from his eyes, "You have to ask! Yes! Of course the answer is Yes!"

With a large goofy grin on his face Neville clumsily opened the box only to show a beautiful silver ring with the Potter and Longbottom coat of arms on it. With a watery smile Harry stepped back slightly and allowed his now future husband to slip the ring onto his fingers.

As the ring went on Harry's finger the pain of the war left them both, they had each other now.
