A/N: Lets Get Started with Early Afternoon at the Burrow. Enjoy.

1: We've got stars directin' our fate.

December 31, 1999

The Burrow 3:30 P.M.

"Its only the biggest part of your life." The words were circling my mind over and over as I could tell Arthur was occupied setting up the tent. The guys and I were setting up for the New Years Eve Party taking place later that night. For all purposes, we never ended up getting a graduation party after the battle of Hogwarts and of course earlier that spring we celebrated Ginny and company. I see tonight as our version of what we missed out on. Now as Hermione, Ginny, Molly and them were in Hogsmeade picking up the last of what we needed for the night. My mind turned to Arthur and what I needed to do before what I intend to do.

"Geese Man get it over with already."

Ron noticed me slouching as I brought my point of the tent up.

"Not that easy Ron, considering its only proper to do."

"Just because I found out first that you were planning on popping the question to Ginny doesn't mean you have to drag it out."

As I was set to retort I could hear someone pop in nearby. Apparition always leaves a recognizable sound to anyone in the wizarding world.

"Look who decided to join us."

"Neville and Luna took their sweet time getting here."

Our points were moot as the two popped in and greeted Arthur and offered to take over while he went back inside to grab the polls.

"I got to grab the polls a minute, be back soon."

We noticed him pop off and Ron just started prodding me in the back repeatedly with his elbow.

"Hey…quit it."

"Mate if you want your chance now would be the time."

Now I got his jist and since they nearly got the tent set, my focus turned inside as I walked to the open door. As I could hear Arthur muttering to himself I decided to make my move.

"Sir…"

He fumbled forward and tripped over the polls nearly hurting himself in the process.

"Harry, you really should learn to better use that cloak of yours."

"That wasn't the cloak Mr. Weasley I just came up."

He took that in stride as I helped him set the polls down and took a chair out so he could get a breather. My eyes turned quick to outside wondering how long it would be before they'd be back then back to Arthur while touching my pocket containing the ring. I was now at the ready.

"Sir now that I have you there was something I really needed to ask you about."

"Your Internship not going smoothly. I have some pull Harry but not as much as you and Ron would want."

"Its not that…Sir I feel that its only right to ask you…"

As I readied to ask him his attention turned to my pocket. What he asked next was something I did not anticipate at all.

"Can I See it Harry?"

"See What Sir."

"If what you were going to ask me is what I think you are intending to. Then I want to see it."

My face flushed red complete with embarrassment and shock. "How did you know sir…"

"Harry, you have been a godsend to Molly and I as well as our family this whole decade. If there was anybody who would deliver Ginny the life she deserves, it would be you."

"So then do I have it?"

"Let's see that ring first."

As I pulled out the black box the ring shone brightly in the natural light of the kitchen. Arthur stood amazed at the diamond and the band. His focus turned inward to the details allowing me to explain.

"Its 5 ½ Carrots. Cost me half of my Galleons But at least whatever I give up to have Ginny in my life forever will be worth it." Arthur was all smiles as he turned to give me my answer I was looking for.

"Harry you have my permission. Now let's get back to what we really need to do."

We got up and grabbed the rest of the polls heading back outside while we noticed Luna gleefully in the snow pile nearby.

"…Millennium…"

"Wonder what she's doing." My thoughts were an understatement as we could hear another apparition in the distance.

"Lets finish this tent." Arthur took charge while I focused on Molly and Ginny leading the way with bags. As Hermione joined Ron my eyes went into overdrive focusing on the woman I wanted to spend all time with and what I knew had to be done tonight. Out of nowhere though Hermione poked me in the back.

"You do it yet?"

Now I was mad as my face furiously turned to Ron while my mind reached for the wand in my jacket.

"Petrif…"

"Mate calm down she found out from Dad."

That allowed me to calm down as we turned back to the tent. Our party would begin soon enough and I knew what I had to do before this Millennium ended and we started another one.
