(A/N: Sorry this took so long, but I was having trouble coming up with a plot for this chapter, but I finally got back to it once I saw a Neil Simon comedy.)

    "Holy Crap!  What do you think you're doing?  You shouldn't be hauling that!  Let me help you!"  Draco yelled out as Ginny walked by carrying a basket full of laundry.

    "Oh Please.  I'm fine.  Don't worry about me, besides, this is my job and I have to do it."  Ginny replied trying to yank the basket out of his hands, but gave up.  "Fine.  If you want to help me, then fold the clothes.

    It was July 30, and Ginny and Draco were staying at the Weasley's house for the summer.  Harry and Hermione had come to stay for the rest of the summer holidays a week earlier.  The next day was Harry's birthday, and the Weasleys were taking him out to a nice restaurant in Diagon Ally.  "By the way, what did we get Harry?"  Draco asked in a whisper while they were folding the laundry.  "And by we, I mean you."

   Ginny chuckled and answered also in a whisper.  "We got Harry the new Wizard's Camera he's been ogling all week.  Who would of though Harry was interested in photography?  I think that Colin Creevey is rubbing off on him."

    "How were you able to afford a Wizard's Camera?"  Draco asked.

    "Easy.  Out of your wallet.  Besides, it's not everyday you turn 18 and get your apparating license.  I think it was worth it.  Which, by the way, you haven't passed yours yet."  Ginny replied giving Draco a false glare.

    "Hey I told you I'd pass it.  I just haven't gotten around to it yet…" Draco said stammering.

    "You said that a month ago.  And might I add that you did take the test, and you apparated in Scotland!"  Ginny said now staring harder at him.

    "My God you've got your mother's stare." Draco said.

    Ginny chuckled.  "Oh geez.  I just remembered something.  How come you never told me you had such a beautiful voice?"

    "Here it is a month after graduation and you ask me now?"  Draco asked laughing.

    "Like I said, I just remembered."  Ginny replied.

    Copying Ginny favorite answer.  "You didn't ask."

    "Oh blow off!"  Ginny said hurling Draco's boxers at him.  "Here.  Fold your own underware."

Soon…     The Waesleys took Harry and Hermione to the famed Red Griffon Restaurant in the swanky part of Diagon Ally.  The waiters had just taken away the main course and were now bringing out the birthday cake to their table singing Happy Birthday.  Some of the other patrons were also singing along too.  Someone at the bar was also watching, but not looking at Harry.  Back at the table, Harry had his own surprise to give.  But first, cake.  Harry blew out the candles while making a very deep wish.  Then he cut the cake and everyone clapped.

    Later, when everyone was finishing their cake and talking merrily, Harry stood up fingering something in his pocket.  He gulped and tapped his fork against his water glass.  "Excuse me everyone because I have a very important announcement, or question really.  Ever since my first day at Hogwarts I have always felt something was missing.  Then it hit me.  It was love.  Then I did find the girl of my dreams, although I didn't realize it at first.  As the years went by, my love grew into pure affection.  So I then ask you this."  Harry then took a small box out of his pocket, knelt down in front of Hermione, and opened the box containing a beautiful gold ring with sapphires and diamonds embedded in the band.  "Hermione, will you marry me?"

* * *

    Hermione stared in shock at Harry, who was still kneeling in front of her holding the sapphire ring.  They stayed like that for a good 2 minutes.  "Um…Hermione?  Can you answer please?  My knee is starting to hurt."  Harry said quietly.  Everyone else at the table was staring with mouths agape.

    Hermione snapped out of her shock and blurted out something incoherent.  "Excuse me?"  Harry asked.

    "I said yes you dope!"  Hermione practically shouted.  "Of course I will!"  Harry then got up and gave Hermione a very love-filled kiss.

    "So when are you going to have the wedding?"  George asked.  Harry and Hermione both looked at each other then Harry answered.  "I was thinking of a Christmas wedding.  How does that sound?"

    "Sounds good to me."  Hermione answered.  "When did you get this ring?  It's beautiful!  But what are the sapphires for?"

    "The Sapphire is your birthstone, and I got it last month after graduation, and was working up the nerve to ask you." Harry replied.

    "It took you a month?"  Hermione asked jokingly.  Still looking at her ring.  "Are these real?" Harry nodded.

    "I was not expecting two weddings in one year!"  Mrs. Weasley cried out.  Laughter filled the table.

    "So what did you wish for Harry?"  Ginny asked.

    "Does it matter?  It came true."  Harry replied smiling.

    "Go on Harry, you already got one birthday present, now open the others." Ron said pointing at the pile next to Harry.

    "OK.  Let's see…this is from Mr. And Mrs. Weasley.  Oh thank you!  A season pass to all the Chudley Cannons games!  Thank you!  This next one is from Fred and George.  I'm afraid."  A few chuckles while Harry cautiously opened the rather small package containing about a dozen brightly rapped cubes.  "Um…what is it?  It's not Ton-Tongued Toffee is it?"

    "No, it's our new invention from our Joke and Candy shop."  George said proudly.  "We're trying it on you, but don't worry.  It's a new candy invention, not a prank."  Fred added.

    "Ok…mmm…it's delicious!  What flavor is it?"  Harry asked.

    "We're not quite sure.  We just threw in every fruit flavor we could think of and called it Fruit Frenzy Cubes."  Fred replied.

    "Thank you!  This next one is from Ron…oh cool!  101 Ways to make it to Quidditch Stardom.  Thanks Ron!  This one is from Percy.  Oh…how thoughtful.  101 Ways to make in the Ministry of Magic.  Thanks Perce.  Hmmm…this one is from Ginny and Draco.  Oh wow!  It's a Wizard's Camera!  I'll be able to take great pictures with this!  Thanks you guys!  And this last one is from Hermione.  Oh…um…The Kama Sutra.  I'll thank you later." Harry said with a big grin on his face.  Hermione blushed.

    "I was hoping we would take a look at that…later."  Hermione said.

    The Weasleys, Malfoys, and soon-to-be Potters then got up, paid the check, and was leaving the restaurant, when a very drunken Pansy Parkinson got up from her stool at the bar and blocked their path.  "You bastard!  How could you just push me away?  I loved you!  And you just walked all over my heart and had to marry that bitch Weasel!"  She said drunkenly pointing at Draco.  "After all I did for you too!  Remember in 3rd year when that big oaf's Hippogriff attacked you?  I was there at your bedside in the hospital wing!  And who danced with you at the Yule Ball?  Me!  How could you fall for a Weasley?  She ain't even that pretty!  Not like me."  She said.  Her last sentence was a bit of an overstatement considering a bulldog was cuter then her.

    When Draco finally came out of his shock, extreme anger overcame him.  "How dare you!  How dare you insult my wife!  I never loved you!  I wish I were dead when you were at my bedside, and I was really close to puking at the Yule Ball.  I only took you because no other decent man would.  Plus Ginny was already taken.  It's over between us!  Leave me, and my family alone, and I hope you never come near here again.  Go back to the pit you came from, bitch!  I can't believe you actually graduated from Hogwarts."  With that, he walked out the door pulling Ginny with him.  The rest of the Weasleys and Harry and Hermione followed.

    "That was harsh Draco.  Not even she deserved that."  Ginny told him.

    "I'm sorry, but that has been building up inside of me for the last 5 years.  I really couldn't stand her too."  Draco replied when they stopped in front of the Leaky Cauldron.

    "Well this has been a very interesting evening.  Happy Birthday Harry!"  Fred said chuckling.

    Everyone shouted in unison.  "Shut up Fred!"

(A/N: During this whole chapter I was making it up as I went along, and it kept getting better and better.  By the way, a Wizard's Camera is like a digital camera, but it's only for magic users.  Hopefully I will be able to get Chapter 9 up faster than this one.)
