A.N. For those of you who don't remember, the flashback started in the very first chapter. I know it's a little confusing, but that's how the story goes. This chapter is dedicated to Fallen*Angel, who is a great reviewer!!!!!!!!!!

"Happy Birthday to you!" sang Ron, Hermione, Jersey, Harry and all of the other Weasleys. They were celebrating Ginny's 21st birthday at the Burrow. She had a huge, Strawberry with creamcheese frosting cake in front of her. She took a deep breath, closed her eyes and blew out all 21 of the candles. Everyone in the room clapped and whooped.
"We'll cut the cake," Mrs. Weasley said. "Why don't you start to open your presents."
They all went outside where a large pile of presents was waiting for Ginny.
"You shouldn't have," Ginny said, looking at the pile.
"Don't worry about it Gin," Charlie said, rubbing her on the head. "We'd do anything for our little sister."
"I know, but-"
"Just start to open the presents," Hermione said, handing her one of them.
Ginny sat down and started to pull the wrapping off of one of the presents. It was a book about Merlin, after all, she had told Hermione all about Merlin's castle.
"Open ours next," Fred said. "It's from both me and Angelina."
It was a gift certificate to a jewelry store in Diagon Alley.
"Open mine next," Harry whispered into Ginny's ear. He handed her a box with a few air holes in the side. Ginny took the top off of the box and gasped.
"Oh my god, Harry it's so… adorable," She reached into the box and pulled out a pure white kitten with bright yellow eyes. The small crowd of people huddled around her oohed and awed at the sight of the kitten.
"What are you going to name him?" Harry asked.
"I don't know," Ginny said, stroking the kitten's soft fur. "Wait a minute, what's this?"
There was a note attached to the kitten's collar.
Meet me in the backyard of the Burrow at eight o'clock tonight. I have a surprise for you.
Love,
Harry
Ginny read the note to herself and then put it in her pocket. She smiled as she stroked the kitten some more and then said, "I'm going to call him Merlin."
Still patting the kitten she took another present and started to open it.
"Mum? Will you watch Merlin for me? Harry has a surprise for me, and I don't know what it is," Ginny said.
"Of course dear," Molly Weasley said, taking the cat in her arms. "Just come by here when you're done."
"I will," Ginny replied. She kissed her mother on the cheek and then went out the backdoor.
Harry was standing there, a rose in his hand.
"For you," He said, holding it out to her. Ginny took it and smelled it.
"It's beautiful," she whispered. "Thank you." Harry leaned forward and kissed her lightly on the lips.
"Close your eyes," he whispered. She did, and she instantly felt herself Disapparating. She didn't know where they had gone.
Harry looked around the deserted corridor. Professor Dumbledore had lifted the spell that doesn't let you Apparate on Hogwarts grounds, just for that one night. There were candles flickering all around. Harry and Ginny were standing outside the Gryffindor portrait hole, only the Fat Lady wasn't there at the moment. Harry had wanted total privacy.
"All right, you can open your eyes," Harry said. She did, and looked around, slightly startled.
"Harry, are we at Hogwarts?" she asked, looking up at the empty picture of the Fat Lady.
"Yes."
"Why?"
"Ginny, this is the first place we kissed," Harry now leaned forward and kissed her on the lips.
"That is so sweet." Ginny said against his lips. "But, if you don't mind my asking, why are we here?"
Harry pulled away from the kissed and said. "I need to ask you something."
"Sure, anything Harry."
"Ginny, I love you-"
"I love you too."
"I fell in love with you in my seventh year, and I'm still falling. You are the most beautiful woman in the world, and I wouldn't be able to live without you. Ginny…" Harry reached into the pocket of his robes and pulled out a box.
"With you, I am the happiest man on earth. Will you- Ginny, will you marry me?"
Harry opened the box and pulled out a ring. It had gold twisted into a vine, and in the center of the vine was a flower, with a diamond in the middle. Ginny gasped, covered her mouth with her hand and stared at the ring. Then, she looked at Harry, and said, "Of course I'll marry you." She pulled him up off of the ground and planted a kiss on his lips. When she pulled away he took the ring out of the box and put it on her finger.
She looked at it and said, "Harry, it's so beautiful."
"Not as beautiful as you," Harry said. "We'd better get back, they'll probably start to worry about us."
"Why don't you just go back to the apartment," Ginny said. "All of my new presents were already transported there. I just have to get Merlin."
"All right, see you there," Harry said, kissing her lightly on the lips once again.
"Bye."
Harry disappeared, and after a stunned moment, so did Ginny.
"Oh, Ginny, You're back!" Mrs. Weasley exclaimed. Most of the Weasleys were cuddled up on some couches back at the Burrow, along with Hermione and Jersey.
"Yep," Ginny said in sort of a dazed voice.
"Have a good snogging session?" Fred asked, causing Angelina to hit him on the arm.
"Gin is something wrong?" Hermione asked.
"No, Hermione," Ginny said, unable to hold her smile any longer. "Everything is perfect."
"Really?" Jersey said. "Why is it so perfect?" Ginny smiled even wider, but didn't answer.
"That's a lovely rose," Hermione said, gazing at the rose that Ginny was still clutching in her hand. "May I see it?" Ginny held out the rose and gave it to Hermione. But Hermione grabbed Ginny's hand.
"Oh my god, Gin," she gasped, gazing at the ring that was glittering on her finger. "What-where-how-" Jersey now went over to Ginny.
"He asked you to marry him?" She gasped.
"Yes!" Ginny said, unable to control her happiness. Hermione and Jersey pulled Ginny into a group hug. Mrs. Weasley was sobbing happily into Mr. Weasley's shoulder.
"Harry is going to be my brother-in-law," Ron said in a dazed voice.
"Oh my god, I'm so happy for you," Hermione said, tears starting to come out of her eyes. "Tell us about it."
Ginny sat down and explained how Harry had taken her to the place that they first kissed and then asked her.
"That is so romantic," Hermione said, after Ginny had finished talking.
"My little girl is going to get married," Mrs. Weasley sobbed. "I am so happy." She pulled Ginny into a hug.
"So am I Mum," Ginny said. "It's getting late. I'd better go to the apartment. Harry must be worrying."
"Come back tomorrow," Mrs. Weasley said. "I want to see both of you together."
"We will Mum," Ginny said. She took Merlin in her arms and Disapparated.
Six months later, Ginny and Harry's wedding took place. A magical wedding is the exact same as a Muggle wedding, they wear tuxedos and a wedding gown. And hour before the wedding, Jersey and Hermione were helping Ginny get dressed. She was wearing a long, white gowned. A short tail went in the back of it. The dress was pretty simple, a semi-low neck, and no sleeves. There was a bow in the back. Ginny's hair was piled on top of her hair, with small jewels enchanted to stay in her hair. Ginny was so beautiful. Hermione was Ginny's Maid of Honor. Ron was Harry's Best Man. Harry was all dressed, a black tuxedo and a tie (not a bow tie, because I can't imagine Harry wearing one of those). He was pacing the room. James was in one corner, and Sirius was in the other.
"It'll be fine, Harry," Sirius said. "You're acting just like your dad did when he was married."
"Hey-" James started to exclaim.
"Hey, Harry," Ron said, coming into the room. "My mum wants to talk to you." Harry, stopped pacing immediately and went out into the bright sunlight. The ceremony was going to be outside, under an alter that had roses and lilies weaving through the wood.
Mrs. Weasley was standing near the alter, waiting for Harry.
"Harry dear," she said, hugging him. "After this you're going to be part of the family. I know that you and Ginny are perfect for each other. I hope that you will always be happy."
"Thank you Mrs. Weasley," Harry said.
"Call me Molly," she said.
"Molly," Harry corrected himself. Mrs. Weasley gave Harry one more hug before Disapparating somewhere.
Dum dum da-dum Dum Da Dum da-dum, came the music from the piano that had been brought outside. Harry smiled as Ginny came out of the building, slowly walking past the rows of people, who had all turned around to look at her. She smiled at Harry as she walked up to him.
"You look gorgeous," he whispered.
"You don't look so bad yourself," she joked. They turned toward the minister as he started the ceremony.
"Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today…"
(I'm going to skip the next part, since I don't know the whole speech, plus it would be a little boring)
"You may kiss the bride," said the Minister. Harry leaned forward and kissed Ginny on the lips, and everyone in the crowd burst into cheers and applause. Harry pulled away from the kiss and said, "I love you so much."
"I love you too," Ginny replied.
