It was a cold , drizzly afternoon. I was sitting in the changing rooms , covered in mud, rain , and I was freezing. We had just won our match against the Chudley Canons, I had scored all but three of our 15 goals, and yet for some reason , which I was very aware of , I wasn't the slightest bit happy. Hermione , Ron , Luna , Neville and George had all come up to watch me play, I told them to meet me back up the apartment after the brief encounter I had had with them after Jenny had caught the snitch and ended the match. Ron made it seem like there was going to be a big surprise waiting for me at home , but I doubt anything could make me feel better at the moment. It had been over a week since I had coffee with mum and Hermione , meaning no sight of Harry for over 3 weeks, a few letters have been shared , but nothing dramatic. I performed a quick clean-up spell on myself and my clothes, conjured a warming bubble, as I had forgotten my coat , and made my way home, where there would undoubtedly be company that was not wanted.

...

I found myself in my own apartment , my earlier prediction coming true. I was surrounded by people , my ears humming with the loudness of the music blasting out of my speakers. George , Ron , Percy , Bill , Hermione , Luna , Neville , Toni , Jenny Harrison ( our seeker) , Inaya , Danielle Watkins ( our beaters) , Chloe Jenkins ( our keeper) , and Lydia Jackson and Harriet Preston ( my fellow chasers) were all dancing away to the music , drinking muggle alcohol, bought along by Hermione , the ' Congratulations Ginny' banners falling off the walls , one of them wrapped around Neville's middle. I'm sure I'd be enjoying it more , if the one person I actually wanted to see was here.

...

" Ginny , what's wrong?" I had moved from the party in the kitchen and living , and gone through into my bedroom , making the excuse that I needed the toilet. Apparently I had been longer than expected.

" I can't do this anymore" silent tears were rolling down my face , and for the first time in a long time , I had let my walls down. I felt Hermione kneel down on the bed, approaching me with caution, the way you have to treat me on these rare occasions.

" What can't you do anymore?" Her voice was soft , but she spoke as if she already knew the answer. I took a huge sniff , and wiped my eyes.

"I can't do stuff like this without him. It's not the same. I mean you're his best friend for Merlin's sake , and your here with me!" I looked at her in the eye.

" Actually , Ginny, you will be able to do 'it' again soon" she smirked.

" What do you mean?" I wouldn't let myself think what she meant. She pulled me off the bed and dragged me back in the kitchen , ignoring my protests and struggles. When we entered it was a lot different, everyone was gone , and for the meantime I didn't care where , because he was standing there , in the centre of the room , wearing a casual pair of denim jeans and a white button t-shirt. But he was there , glasses and everything. I turned around to see Hermione and Ron standing in the doorway , Ron winked at me , and then they both left. But what I saw as I turned back to face him , was not a happy sight.

No , please don't. He was on his knee... one knee.

" Harry , please before you say anything. Think about this."

" I have Ginny! I love you and you love me. What else is there to think about!"

" I'm 18! I'm barely legal! You're only just coming up for 20 ! We have got lives to live. We've got places to go , people to see! I don't want to settle down when I'm not even 20! And you should feel the same way"

" But I love you , we're meant to be together"

" Who decides who is supposed to who! It's our decision , not anyone else's! And besides , This isn't me saying I don't love you , because I do baby , I love you so much. But , we've just spent three weeks away from each other. That isn't a healthy thing to do. We need to build our relationship up again before I can even consider marrying you"

" So you will consider it?" His eyes looked pleading , but that wasn't what I meant.

" No, that isn't what I was saying. Not yet , we're too young. Please don't force this on me Harry , I want to wait , and see where things go."

"My mum and dad got married when they were this age" he whispered it. But this was getting frustrating.

" Merlin Harry , take a hint! If I wanted to say yes , I would have a ring on my finger by now!" He looked like I had slapped him , he turned to face the door.

" If you walk out that door , I swear to god , we are over"

" Yeah , yeah sorry" .

" Please , let's just talk."

Dear Diary ,

He's home. Sort of. Well , he is , but he's different. He's gone too far with it this time , he asked me to marry him. I mean , I'm only 18 , and he's only 19, well nearly 20 but still. I love him with all my heart , he's been in my life for as long as I can remember, but I just wish he would back off a little bit , in fact I've been thinking it was a mistake to move in together at such a young age , but of course , I wouldn't voice that to him. We've been through so much together , so no matter what it takes , I'm going to make this okay. Everything is going to go back to the way it was before bloody Draco stuck his nose in. Okay he didn't do anything wrong , but it's nice t have someone to blame isn't it? I just want it to be good again. To be two people in love , and so I will fix it. And make it how I want it to be, because he's worth it. He's worth everything to me, and I'm not going to let something this goof slip through my fingers again. Not this time. We talked all night , just about our feelings and what not , he seemed okay with the rejection and said he still want to keep it going , which is great , it may take some time but I reckon it's going to be perfect once again in the future. Hopefully.

Ginny
