I give you chapter 2

A Fresh Start

Ginny woke up that morning held close by Oliver.  She smiled lazily as she watched him sleep.  She absently traced designs on his firm back.  There had been a time when she never would have thought about a relationship with Oliver.  He had always been older than her and she had a shy streak.  She remembered how their relationship had started.  Her brothers had still been teasing her about that crush she had had on Harry.  She had been about to hex them when Oliver, who had been being teased because he was very single, caught her hand and dragged her into a corner.  They came up with some ways to get back at her brothers.  The one thing that no one figured on happening was that Ginny and Oliver would get together and stay together.  Boy, were her brothers ticked.

 She closed her eyes and drifted back into sleep, when she felt his gaze on her.

"What," She mumbled not opening her eyes.

"I was just wondering if you were ticklish?" came the sleepy accented reply.  Ginny's eyes flew open.

"Don't you dare Oliver Wood!" she threatened

"Don't I dare do what my dear?"

"Tickle me."

"Well, if you insist," he grinned mischievously at her before he began his tickling attack.

"Oliver, stop it," she shrieked giggling madly.  Ginny could only take so much tickling and she rolled on top of Oliver and sat upon his stomach.  She held his hands behind his head and bent down to kiss him on his nose.  Teasing him further then finally meeting his lips.

"You really are amazing Ginny," he said taking full advantage of her losing focus and he flipped her over and straddled her and resuming his tickling. 

"Oliver, you're crushing me," She said between giggling and catching her breath.

"I know something that will take your mind off the pain I'm causing you." He joked.

"And that would be, what, you getting off me."

"No, you marrying me."  He watched her eyes go wide and her mouth gape open.  Finally something to make Ginny Weasley go speechless, he thought.  "I mean it Gin.  Will you marry me?"

"Yes, of course I will, now get off me."  She said shoving her new fiancé off her.  He reached over and wiped her tears away.

"You're crying," he commented.

"Tears of pain from you sitting on me."

She was just getting comfortable when Oliver's warning wards went off followed by a knock on his door, "I'm not here Ollie."

Oliver pulled a shirt on and went to open the door, standing there were Fred and George Weasley.

"Fred, George what can I do for you?" he said stepping outside and closing his door behind them.

"Ginny here?" Fred asked Oliver as the three men stood outside his cottage.

"No, she wasn't coming to visit me for another week or so."

"Oh, ok, if you see her let us know," George asked.

"Why," the confusion on Oliver's face was real he was dying to find out what had happened.

"She kinda left this morning with out telling us were she was going."  Fred said.

"Oh, I'm sure she's fine, now, I have to get ready for work," Oliver told the redheads and slipped back in to his house.  He watched as the twins apparated away.  "Gin, there gone, now can you tell me what the hell is going on."

"After breakfast, love," Ginny said walking into his living room, while he was talking with her brothers she had gotten dressed.

"Fine," he went into his room to dress.  Ginny went into the kitchen and she began to fix breakfast for her and Oliver.  He entered the room pulling on a clean shirt.  "You don't have to cook Ginny."

"I'm hungry and I've had your cooking," she smirked, "I don't see how you can live of that slop."

"Hey," he protested before kissing her.

"Hey what?"

"There is nothing wrong with my cooking."  Ginny left eyebrow was raised high in a silent question.  "Now are you going to tell me what happened or do I have to force it out of you."

"I'd like to see you try."

"Oh, I have my ways."  He picked her up and threw her over his shoulder.

"Put me down," her fists beat gently on his back.  He dropped her on the couch.  He crawled on top of her and started to kiss her neck.  She groaned.

"You better not use these methods as an auror; I don't want to tell you right now."

"How long can you hold out when I do this?" He trailed kisses along her jaw and then returned to her neck and down to her shoulder.

"Fine, I'll tell you over breakfast," she relented and Oliver helped her up and they went back in to the kitchen.  "But I'm serious Oliver you are not to use those techniques while interrogating death eaters."

"Fine," he sighed dramatically, "now your story," he pressed.

"I'll start at the beginning, I was at work yesterday, oh by the way, Casper says hi, and I ran in to Professor Snape and he offered me a job at Hogwarts teaching potions."

"That's great Ginny, congratulations." He said sincerely, "What did your family say?"

"They don't actually know that's why I left."

"I'm sorry."

"I'll say, you're the sorriest person I know."

"Snot."

"I went to tell them, but growing up with six boisterous brothers I tend to get over shadowed.  I think that Fred and George are starting a new shop, and Bill got a new job, and I got yelled at for interrupting Bill, even though he was finished," She smiled sadly, " You would be proud of me though, I didn't blow up at them I left them a note, oh, and the best part is that I was forgotten before I even left, when Harry and Hermione showed up."

"They did come looking for you though, that's a start, right?"

"Dad probably made them, Ronnie did try to talk to me last night though."

"You two were always close."

"Now enough about this depressing topic I want to see this engagement ring that you have for me."

"Oh that, well I got it out of a cracker jack box."

"A what?"

"It's a muggle thing that I ran across at a quidditch game actually."

"Oh." 

Oliver reached into a drawer after they ate breakfast and pulled out a little box.  He walked over to Ginny, who was still sitting at the table.  He kneeled and took her hand in his.

"Ginny will you marry me?" he asked presenting her with a diamond ring that had an intertwining yellow and white gold band.

"Sorry, but I'm already engaged to his great guy named Oliver Wood, and I just don't think that I could live with myself if I refused him ever," she joked while Oliver rolled his eyes at her and slipped the ring on her finger, "yes I will."

"Sorry to ask and run, but some of us work," he kissed her and went to put on his work robes, "clean this mess up."

"What are you smoking?"

"I love you."

"I love you more."
