Chapter 14: Glad You Came
The sun goes down
The stars come out
And all that comes is here and now
My universe will never be the same
I'm glad you came
You cast a spell on me, spell on me
It hit me like the sky fell on me, fell on me
And I decided you look well on me, well on me
So let's get somewhere no one else can see, you and me
Turn the lights out now
Now I'll take you by your hand
Hand you another drink
Drink it if you can
Can you spend a little time
Time is slipping away
Away from us so stay
Stay with me, I can make
Make you glad you came
"Harry, what's going on?" Ginny asked, careful not to spill her champagne while he pulled her through the crowd. He turned slightly and grinned at her.
"You'll see." They slid out the doors into a small garden. He led her through until they came across a small wooden bench. He gestured for her to sit down.
"Okay, now what?" she asked, somewhat impatiently. He smiled.
"Ginny," he began dramatically, "You have known me since I was eleven years old. In that time, I've grown into quite the idiot, occasionally. And I get into trouble all the time, because trouble basically follows me everywhere. I've become the most famous wizard of all time and I've hated every single second of it. I fell in love when I was sixteen years old with the most incredible girl I've ever met. She's beautiful and smart and brave, fiercely so. She's talented and she's quite a frightening thing to behold on occasion. She's loving and funny and caring and literally perfect in every way possible. And when I came back from being an idiot, but making the world safe for us to finally be together, she was waiting for me."
"Uh…Harry, I was there for all of this. Why are you telling me?"
"Gin, look around. I see thousands of stars and lightning bugs floating around. And I see a place that's safe enough for us to finally be together. So why aren't we?"
"Wait, I thought we were. Are you saying I haven't been your girlfriend for the past four years?" He laughed and shook his head.
"I'm saying I want us to be together together. Ginny, you are literally the most incredible girl I've ever known in my entire life and I want to marry you." She sat there in shock, staring at him. He grinned and looked at her carefully.
"Gin, you okay?"
"You want to marry me?! Like…marriage?!"
"…Yes?" he said, faltering slightly now.
"But that's for…forever," she said quietly.
"I know. I want to be with you for forever. Well, at least for our forever."
"Oh my God. How long have you been planning this?"
"A few months. Wanna see your beautiful engagement ring?" She nodded excitedly and he pulled out a small back velvet box.
"Then say yes," he teased. She fixed him with a mock glare.
"Like it's even a real question? I love you, Harry Potter. Of course I'll marry you," she said, leaning over and kissing him lightly. He smiled and lifted the tiny lid. She gasped and stared at the small ring nestled inside. It was silver with a large amethyst sitting in between two small diamonds, even smaller diamonds circling the setting.
"Ginny Weasley, will you marry me?" She giggled quietly and nodded, small tears forming in her eyes.
"Yes. I would love to marry you."
"And live together in our forever," he whispered, slipping the ring onto her finger.
"Glad You Came" the Wanted
A/N So hey…I'm sorry this chapter is so short, but I have bad news. The next chapter is probably going to be even shorter. I'm not doing this on purpose, I promise. It's just how my brain works. So yeah, reviews? Please and thank you! :))
