Six Months Later

I arrived back at the house extremely happy. I had my first day at work. I work on the floor below Harry so he met me and took my out to lunch. I love lunch. And pie. Lunch and pie are my favorites…

I walked into the silent room and frowned. Something was off. I couldn't put my finger on it but something was wrong. I walked into the kitchen and noticed someone had washed all the dishes. The table looked cleaned, as did the counters. I walked back into the living room. Someone had tidied up the coffee table and dusted. I placed my bag on the floor.

" Hermione?" I called timidly.

" Yeah?" I heard a voice answer from the guest room. I walked down the hall and into the room.

" What are you doing here?" I asked looking at her dusting the pictures in the room.

" I came to see how your first day was," Hermione answered.

" And you decided to clean while you were here?" I asked running a finger over the cleaned dresser.

" Well, I have been here for like an hour. Where were you?" Hermione asked.

" Ok, don't jump to any conclusions," I warned.

" What did you do?" Hermione asked with a mixture of suspiciousness and sternness.

" I had a drink with Colin," I mumbled playing with the hem of my shirt.

" Ginny!" Hermione said looking stunned.

" What?" I asked defiantly.

" Harry is going to be so angry!" Hermione said looking disappointed.

" I didn't sleep with him!" I cried.

" That wont matter to Harry!" Hermione said.

" What wont?" Harry asked from the doorway.

Hermione dropped the disinfectant and I turned quickly.

" I gained four pounds," I lied.

" Oh, that's alright," Harry said confused. He turned and walked into our room.

" Liar, liar pants on fire," Hermione sang quietly.

" Shut up you hussy," I snapped.

" You have to tell him!" Hermione snapped back.

" I will. Not now, with you here." I answered feeling horrible.

" Well I'm going to go!" Hermione called leaving. I tried to hold her back but she fought out of my grip and walked into the kitchen. " Bye Harry. Are we still on for dinner tomorrow?"

" You bet!" Harry called walking out in jeans and a shirt. He kissed me and I smiled at him. The front door slammed. I turned to Harry. " Happy Anniversary!" Harry called handing me a box. I smiled and opened it. It was a diamond bracelet.

" Oh, Harry it's beautiful!" I gasped.

I ran into our room and handed him a package. He quickly opened the new watch that had belonged to his father. I had found it from Remus who had gotten it fixed and cleaned for me. Harry cried a little. We were just going to have sex when an owl swooped in. Harry opened the note and read it. He began to swear. Just then the door opened and Hermione came back in.

" I am so sorry. I forgot my purse," she said. She glanced at Harry. " Oh, so you told him you had a drink with Colin?"

Harry's head shot up.

" What?" he asked looking at me.

" Harry," I began.

" Well, I'm going to go," Hermione said looking horrified. " We'll see you tomorrow."

" You had a drink with Colin?" Harry asked looking angry.

" Well yeah. Harry it wasn't anything. It was just two friends," I said pleadingly.

" Why?" Harry asked.

" He asked me. I didn't want to say no," I said. Harry looked furious now.

" Right, I should have realized that. No, its fine. This means nothing. We're just screwing around," Harry spat with venom.

" We're just screwing around?" I said feeling anger and hurt building up inside of me.

" Isn't that what we're doing?" Harry asked.

" You think we're just screwing around?" I screamed.

" No, see I thought we were in love and then you turn around and have drinks with some guy." Harry yelled back. I had never seen him this mad. He looked like he did minutes before Voldemort died.

" That's right! Just drinks. And it wasn't with some guy, it was with a friend. It meant nothing. The entire time I sat there all I thought about was you!" I said flinging my jacket on the ground in absolute horror. " I love you too much to fuck with this relationship. I don't think about anyone but you. I am not going to fuck someone! I love you remember?" I screeched. " I'm sorry I did it, but I am allowed friends. I cant have you get angry at me every time I want to hang out with a friend. I don't even know if I'll see Colin again. See he and his wife are moving further into the country. He's getting a new job because his wife is having a baby!"

" Ginny, I'm sorry. I flipped out I said things I didn't mean," Harry said mournfully. He edged over to me and hugged me. I breathed a sigh of relief. He kissed her neck and went back to her lips. She led him into the bathroom and fell back onto the bed.

" Are you going to stop freaking out?" I asked.

" Yes," Harry said turning red.

" Good then you can have your other present," I said with a smile and placed my hand on the zipper.

OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo

" What time do we have to be there?" I called from the bedroom.

" Seven," Harry answered with a mouth full of pizza.

" Harry!" I said when I walked into the kitchen. " We are eating there."

" Yeah, Hermione's cooking," Harry explained.

" Ew," I said taking a slice.

" Ok, now you have tomato sauce all over your forehead. How is that even possible?" Harry asked wiping it off my face.

" I don't know," I answered reddening slightly.

" We should get going," Harry said glancing at the clock.

" Ok, how do I look?" I asked looking at my appearance.

" Butt ugly lets go," Harry joked putting my coat on for me.

" Thanks," I snapped walking outside into the brisk air. " Its freezing!" I said shivering.

" You are wearing opened toe heels," Harry said glancing at my feet.

" Hey, you didn't just call them shoes this time! I told you living with me would pay off!" I said as we got into the car. " Hey maybe one day we could just Appararate."

" I still don't trust it. We'll just drive. Much safer," Harry muttered.

" Harry you don't have to be afraid," I said rubbing his arm.

" I'm not," Harry said tensely.

" You are not always going to land in the ocean," I said smiling as he looked angry again.

" Ginny, when we said we would never speak of that again I meant forever," Harry said his grip tightening on the steering wheel. Harry had meant to go to the Atlantic street in London, instead he ended up in the ocean. From now on he has been afraid of it ever since.

We arrived at Hermione's ten minutes later. Harry smiled and helped me out of the car. I walked up the stone steps and rang the doorbell. We waited a moment and Hermione opened the door. She smiled at me and pulled us in.

" Are you ok? Did I ruin it?" Hermione asked quickly.

" We're fine. You really need to learn when its appropriate to speak," I said handing her my coat.

" I am so sorry. I told Ron and even he agreed with you," Hermione said handing her a glass of wine. I took it and sat down on the couch. I looked around the house and smiled.

" So what are you guys up to?" Ron asked.

Harry shook his head violently and Ron looked down. I stared at the both of them and then at Hermione. She was looking at Harry. He mouthed something to her and I sighed. Why was I always left out of these things?

" So dinner? Yeah? I hope you came hungry," Hermione said smiling. No one told her that they all came full so they wouldn't have to eat anything. She came back out with a platter of pizza.

" I ordered pizza this time. I am a horrible cook. Ron you told them we were ordering out right?" Hermione asked suddenly turning to Ron who closed his eyes.

" Right, guys we're having take-out," Ron said smiling.

" I don't know why I leave you in charge of anything!" Hermione cried taking a slice.

The rest of the night went nicely. We all chatted and talked about work and home life. At midnight we figured we better get going and walked out into the cool air. Harry drove down the road a bit stopped at a drop off. I glanced around and saw the entire city twinkling from below me. I smiled and got out. Harry set up a blanket and a heating charm. He also extracted a basket and some wine and glasses. I glanced around and noticed hundreds of flowers and a box of chocolate.

" Oh my god!" I cried as he set everything up for me.

" Surprise!" Harry said softly and walked me over to the blanket.

I smiled and we stood there for a second. Harry began to fumble around a little bit and then he stopped.

He turned me around to face him and I suddenly felt scared.

" Ginny, I love you more than anything in the entire world. Will you marry me?" Harry asked. He got down on one knee and produced a giant diamond ring. I gasped and looked into his eyes.

" Of course I will," I said in between sobs. Harry jumped up and hugged me. I couldn't believe it! I was engaged! I was crying into Harry's chest as we danced around. This was a dream come true. He even let me scream it out loud a couple of times.
