Disclaimer: I do not own any part of Harry Potter or it's surrounding properties, they belong to the wonderful JK Rowling. Any unfamiliar names you see though, chances are I invented that character.

Although I've been writing harry potter fanfics and submitting them on harrypotter.com for what seems like forever this is my first try with fanfiction.net. I hope that all of you enjoy the story and find it in your heart to review. Flames and all constructive criticism is welcome. I'll update soon with reviews. Thanks!

Chapter 1: The Train Ride home

Harry Potter had just defeated the Dark Lord Voldemort, at the end of his 7th year, it had been hard, to put it lightly. He was just glad that Ron and Hermione had helped him through it all, both physically and emotionally. Harry and Hermione had been dating, since there 6th year, and were a very happy couple. Ron was currently dating none other than Lavendar Brown, whom after Voldemort had killed her best friend Parvati, in there 6th year, had turned to Ron for love and support. Ron had felt a little awkward at first, but had finally gotten to know the 'real' Lavender, and was very happy with what he had 'discovered'. They were also a very happy couple. The sat in one compartment next to each other, graduation had been hard, for they all knew that they would miss Hogwarts and none of them really knew where life was gonna take them. Just then Harry stood up, and asked if he could see Ron for a moment, alone.

"What's up mate?" Ron asked, once they were out of earshot of the girls. He found it really odd, that he had pulled him aside, for there was usually practically nothing that Harry wouldn't say in front of the girls, they had all become the best of friends (or lovers) in the last few years.

"Well, as you know, I've been dating Hermione for some time, now and I wanted to ask her if she'd marry me, I thought it would be sweet, if as she stepped off of the train, I asked her" Harry said. Ron just stared at him obviously shock strucken.

"Wow, Harry, nice going, I think you should definetly do that, it's a GREAT idea! I'm so happy for you, do u have the ring?" Ron inquired. "Yeah, I ordered it out of this magazine, your sister lent me" Harry said. After Ginny started dating Collin, things between her and Harry had relaxed, quite a bit and they had become fairly good friends.

"Well, let's see it" Ron said. Harry pulled out a little black box, and opened it, revealing a nice silver band, with a heart shaped diamond on it. Ron looked at it, his mouth open in awe. He quickly closed it though, because he noticed Harry staring at him.

"Gosh, mate, how much did that cost you?" Ron asked. Harry blushed a little, even though Ron was his best friend and would always be more like a brother to him, he knew Ron was a little self-concious about the fact that Harry had always had a little more money. "Actually, not that much, I got it at a discount jewelry store, I figured I'd rather get her a nice wedding ring, than a REALLY nice engagement ring" Harry said, not really comfortable with telling Ron how much the ring had actually cost him. Ron sensed this and decided, that he shouldn't ask anymore on the matter. With that Ron gave Harry his last token of luck and they went back to join the girls.
