hey everyone , don't worry I'm not dead , I've had some family issues going on with my sister and a certain boy at the moment so I havn't had much chance to write. Also , I just got tumblr .. I know ! So follow , me ( dobbysblog) only got 5 aha! Thanks :))
I was slouched on a sofa in a brand new apartment. Hermione's brand new apartment. It was a lot larger than mine , and had three bedrooms instead of two. There was a kitchen/diner and separate living off the kitchen. It was all very modern , the flat was only made 3 years ago!
" Hermione it's gorgeous, how the hell could you afford a place like this?" But rather than being offended by my question she merely chuckled , there never have been any boundaries between us.
" Well , I paid in muggle money, because obviously this is a part of muggle London , I had a lot of money saved up from various different Saturday jobs , and so I transferred it into muggle money , and my parents paid for the rest , but of course I'm going to pay them back in due course"
" You lucky buggar" I joked.
" So." she sighed , evidently exhausted from the move "Coffee?" She asked me.
" No , I'm really very okay thank you" I had tried the stuff , and frankly it tasted like goblin piss. She laughed at my response , and offered me a Peachtree fizzing tea, to which I eagerly nodded my head. She flopped down on the couch , and we sat down for a nice , long catch-up. After what felt like hours , we came onto the subject of my brother.
" How did he take the news?" I asked her , as I had not seen either of them since we left the Burrow two weeks ago.
" Well , at first he was frustrated that I didn't tell him before I bought it , but he was okay considering.." she hesitated " considering that he thinks we've been dating long enough to get married, and yet I haven't asked him to move with me" I had just taken a sip of tea , and spat it out all over her. " That's the second time you've done that" she observed as she muttered an incantation over herself.
" How did you know?"
" I overheard him talking about to Harry , it was a pretty intense conversation as well. Don't get me wrong , he hasn't actually asked me , he doesn't even know that I know , but it's just a bit awkward. You know I'm not ready to get married." I only nodded my head , still taking in the fact that Hermione knew how in love my brother was with her, so in love that he would be willing to get married. I was jealous.
" You should be lucky that he loves you as much as he does , that he wants to marry you"
" What, like you don't have a boyfriend who doesn't want to marry you?" My heart sank , how could I forget that he had already asked me to marry him? " you want to don't you? You want to marry him!" she exclaimed. I didn't say anything , which confirmed her beliefs even more. " Ginny Weasley, do you want to marry Harry?"
"Does it have to be said?" I looked seriously at her , and as soon as did all sense of joke was gone from her eye.
" Go home , and go get him. Or at least talk to him about it." I looked at her blankly.
"You really think I should? I mean what if it messes us up?" She sighed.
" Ginny , I've know Harry since I was 11 years old , and never , not once , have seen him happier than when he's been with you" I blushed.
" What do I do now?" I asked her , honestly not knowing the answer. This day had taken an unexpected turn. I mean , was I seriously considering telling Harry that I wanted to marry him?
" You go home , and you talk to him about it" She pulled me off the sofa , and practically pushed me into the fireplace , with barely a goodbye , before I found myself spinning back to Toni's apartment.
...
" Gin!" I heard Harry call from the kitchen " Ginny!"
Right , as soon as you walk in there , just tell him 'I want to marry you' I jumped off the bed , wearing a plain white vest and a pair of grey shorts.
" You've got a letter" He informed me , moving his head in the direction of the owl sitting on the table. It was bold , a dark brown , and rather large. Around it's ankle was a piece of black parchment tied up with a red ribbon. I took it off his ankle , and it immediately flew away.
Ginny, it read,
I'd me more than happy to come and help , although I must say I've not been in the healer training programme long! I understand that you don't want to tell anyone official about him , but surely it would be better for Grawp to be with his own kind? Anyway , not my place. I'll meet you at The Weasley house on Thursday morning , make sure Hagrid is there, Grawp's going to need some support from someone.
Draco.
Tell him you idiot , just do it , it's Harry. " Well that's fantastic isn't it?" I asked Harry, not the question I wanted to , who was sitting with a rather forced smile on his face.
" Yeah , yeah it's great" he said , rather unenthusiastically. I walked over to him and pulled him off his chair.
" Look at me" and he did , straight in the eye " trust me , he's not the same person. I know , dear Godric I know , that he made some mistakes, but haven't we all? Harry , he's our last chance at making Grawp better. Trust me on this" And I bought my lip down on his. Now this is where you tell him. Just spit the words out Ginny.
" I know. I do. If you trust him , then" he hesitated " I trust him". He pecked on the cheek , and then walked out of the room. crap. Go and tell him! I sat down at the table , and grabbed a piece of parchment and a quill, replying to Draco's letter.
"Harry?" I called back into the hall this is it , I thought , I'm going to tell him that I want to marry him. His head popped round the door frame.
"Yeah?" I hesitated.
" Never mind."
