to die! So that's why he's alive!!! Muahahahaha =D
:~: Chapter 1 :~:
*Ginny's Point Of View*
I woke up with a start. I pinched myself to make sure it was true. No way was I engaged to him. "Ow," I pinched myself to hard. I turned around and saw his bright green eyes looking at mine.
"Hello, future Mrs. Potter," he said kissing my neck. So, it was true, I am engaged to Harry Potter. The Harry that I loved since I was eleven years old. The Harry that saved my life more than once. The Harry that found me annoying until my fourth year at Hogwarts. The Harry that started dating me since my fifth year.
"Hi, Harry," I replied kissing him. I still couldn't believe that I was engaged to him. "So, when should we tell everyone?"
"Hmm.let's tell them tonight. I guess I'll invite everyone over here and make dinner and well, tell them," he replied as he was getting up.
I got up also to put the sheets right. "Are you going to take a shower?" I asked.
"Yeah."
"Okay, I'll go down and make breakfast," I said not wanting to turn around since I could feel him right behind me.
He put my hair away from my shoulder and kissed it. "I love you," he murmured. I love the way he says everything, I love his bright green eyes, his glasses, his untidy hair, and I love him.
"I love you, too," I whispered turning around and giving him a great big kiss. Just then someone knocked the door. "You better get that, this is your house." He laughed and went down. Poor Harry, had no idea about his surprise birthday today.
I followed until the stairs and heard my big brother, Ron, and his fiancée and my best friend, Hermione Granger. Ron said, "Hey Harry. We were bored at Hermione's house so we came here to eat lunch with you and Ginny. Where is she by the way?"
"Wait a minute. Did you say lunch?" Harry asked surprised.
"Yeah, of course." Hermione replied.
"Okay then. You guys just do something down here while I go upstairs and take a shower and come back. Start on lunch, please, that'll be great." I heard Harry coming upstairs and he said, "Go take a shower in the other bathroom. I'll take a shower in this one." I nodded and went to the bathroom to take a shower. I smiled and thought that the plan worked like a charm. I had to wear something good for Harry's surprise birthday today. I still don't think he realizes that it's his birthday today.
*Harry's POV*
I can't believe beautiful Ginny Weasley is my fiancée. I got dressed and went downstairs to Ron and Hermione who had already started cooking something which smelled so good. I looked down at my watch. A quarter past 12 already! Wow, Ginny and I slept in for a long time. I walked into the study to get the photo album that Hagrid gave me at the end of first year. I looked at my parents wedding picture and wondered if my wedding would be like that. I wish my parents would've been alive today. They would've been so happy that I was getting married to Ginny. I went inside to the living room and "SURPRISE!!!!!!!"
I froze and looked around. Ron, Hermione, Ginny, Sirius, Mr. Weasley, Mrs. Weasley, Fred, George, Angelina Johnson Weasley, Katie Bell Weasley, Bill, Fleur Delacour Weasley, Charlie, Percy and Penelope were standing beaming at me. Was it really my birthday already? My 23rd birthday? "Oh my God," was all I managed to say before all the women started hugging me. Do they know already that I'm engaged? No, probably not. Ginny wouldn't have said anything without me. Ginny hugged me last and kissed my cheek.
Were they all here before I woke up? Probably, I was in the shower for 15 minutes. The guys just shook my hand and wished me a happy birthday except for Sirius my godfather. He hugged me and said, "You look so much like your father." I'm getting used to that comment from Sirius.
Mrs. Weasley told everyone that it was time for lunch. After we finished eating, I looked at Ginny and she nodded. I stood up and said, "Ginny and I have an announcement to make."
"We're engaged," she said. Everyone started congratulating us and hugging us. The guys didn't seem to mind about hugging me anymore. I didn't care, I was going to get married to Ginny.
Hermione said, "I knew you were going to get married since the first time you started going out."
Fred and George roared with laughter. Fred asked, "Since when did they start going out?"
I blushed so much that I started clearing the dishes and taking them to the kitchen. Ginny was at my heel and she too looked like she was blushing. "I am so sorry for that. My brothers can be so dumb sometimes." I loved the way she looks at me like that. She was just so beautiful. I can't describe it. She was just beautiful in so many ways that it hurt me because I would have to go to work and leave her at home after we get married. We stared at each other for a moment until Hermione and Ron came in the room.
"Ginny, would you like to go to Diagon Alley with me tomorrow? So that we can have a look at things for your wedding and mine?" Ginny looked at me with a look that said COME WITH ME, YOU HAVE TO PICK SOME THINGS, TOO.
Ginny nodded and said, "Sure, Harry and I would love to come tomorrow."
Uh-oh. Looks like I'm already married. I laughed and hugged Ginny. "I'll come if you promise me that we could go to Quality Quidditch Supplies."
She nodded and hugged me back.
"Harry! Time to open your presents!" shouted Sirius from the other room.
We all went back and I reached for Ginny's present. But she said, "Save the best for the last." I smiled at her and she smiled back with a smile that weekend me knees.
"Open ours first, Harry," said Fred and George. And so I did and it turned out to be a 3D model of a Quidditch Game against Slytherin in my second year. "We made that for you because that was the first time you got the Snitch from Malfoy."
"Thanks guys, it's great," I said. I was amazed how they could do all sorts of things.
So, I continued opening gifts. Mr. and Mrs. Weasley gave me a watch that was just absolutely great. Charlie and Bill gave me an actual Golden Snitch. Fleur gave me a book called "How to learn French in less than 10 days.". Percy and Penelope gave me a chessmen set. Ron gave me an entire robe and Muggle clothes of the Chuddley Cannons. Hermione gave me a version of the Marauder's Map, but it was actually of Potter Place. Sirius's gift was what looked like 14 yearbooks from his parent's days at Hogwarts. "These were your parent's yearbooks, Harry, I suspect that you would want to look through them later." I reached for Ginny's gift. I opened it and gasped. It was a scrapbook from when they first started going out. It was so beautiful. It had pictures of Ginny in the back cover and said I love you all over. I opened it and it said, 'I love you, Potter!' in Ginny's voice. I looked at Ginny in an amazement. It was so great. Do girls actually remember these kinds of stuff? I wondered if she might've had pictures of her engagement ring. She did. Ginny is my fiancée.
*Hermione's POV*
"Wow! You. Are. Engaged. To. Harry," I said. "I can't believe it. My two best friends after Ron." Ginny and I were sitting in the living room at the Potter Place. Harry and Ron went out probably to celebrate the announcement.
"Yeah. It's great, huh?" Ginny asked. "I love the ring."
Yeah, the ring was great. A Golden Snitch. "So how does it feel like being the future Mrs. Potter?"
Ginny blushed. "The truth is I love him more than anyone in the world and I would love to be Mrs. Potter."
"Of course, we all know that Harry loves you too," I said. "So how did he propose?"
"Well, we went to a Muggle's Cricket match. England vs. Australia. I told Harry that I didn't know what Cricket was, so he took me there. Then he told me to look at the scoreboard and I did and it said, Ginny Weasley, will you marry me? -H.P.- I looked at him and he was holding the ring and he was on one knee and I screamed 'YES, OF COURSE, I LOVE YOU!' and I kissed him. I guess all the Muggles figured out that it was us and started pointing us, but I didn't care," she replied. I wonder how she said all that so fast. "Hermione!!!! I completely forgot! Your wedding is in 8 days! We should really go to the Burrow before anything happens between you and Ron because it's bad luck if the Groom or the Bride see each other a week before the wedding. So we should really pack up. I don't think Harry would mind if I go away for a week and plus, it would give Ron and Harry time to talk about 'things' with each other."
I agreed and nodded. "Yeah, so let's go up to our room. Can you believe that Harry bought this place? I mean, naturally it'll be yours' and his', but I am so grateful that Harry let us stay here for the Summer. It was really peaceful to get away from the Ministry for 2 weeks." I said as we were walking up the stairs. First we went to my room then Ginny's.
"Your gift for Harry was great, Hermione. I couldn't believe that you of all people would give Harry a gift like that. From Sirius, I would've expected it. But you? Tsk, tsk, tsk." Ginny said. I started laughing.
"Your's was great to, Ginny. I mean, did you look at Harry's face when he opened your gift? It was like he was thinking 'Do girls actually remember these kinds of stuff?'"
Then finally we heard Harry's voice.
"Ginny? Hermione? Are you here?" he started yelling. "If you are, then do you mind telling us -
He was interrupted by Ginny. "Yes, we're up here, now shut up, Potter!" Ginny yelled playfully.
They could hear Harry coming up the stairs. "Oh, you get one for that, Weasley!" he yelled again. He came into view by Ginny's bedroom and smiled at her. "What are you doing, Potter-to-be and Weasley-to-be?"
"Well, Potter, we were packing our things to go to the Burrow before Weasley-to-be's and Weasley's wedding," Ginny replied. I thought it was pretty funny that they were calling each other that and I didn't realize that I burst out laughing. Ginny and Harry stared at me as if I was completely delusional. I stopped and started turning a bit red.
"So, anyways, Harry, we're going to go the Burrow. Thanks for having me here for the past two weeks. It was great to get out of the Ministry. Trust me, being Head of the Department of Educational Services is not very easy. Not that it's great seeing your future father-in-law being the Minster everyday, but it's just very difficult. I'm sure that I'll be over it as soon as I'm married. I'll see you at the wedding, Harry," I said kissing him in the cheek.
Ginny got up behind me and kissed Harry. She said, "I'll see you next week." I didn't want Ginny to leave Harry even though she said it will be a big break from the guys. "Tell Ron that we'll be at the Burrow and if he tries to contact Hermione, I'll make sure he won't get to go his wedding." We all laughed at that comment and Harry agreed.
Ginny and I went to my room with our trunks said good-bye to Harry once again and disapparted to the front of the Burrow.
*Ron's POV*
"Where did the girls go, Harry?" I asked when I arrived at Potter Place.
Harry looked up from reading the Daily Prophet and said, "They went to the Burrow. And Ginny said that if you try in anyway to contact Hermione, she will make sure that you won't go to your wedding." I could see that he was trying to hold his laughter. "So anyways let's go eat dinner. I'm starved. I was waiting until you came so I wouldn't have to eat myself."
I looked at him. I know he was my best friend for some reason. We've been best friends for nearly twelve years now and I couldn't believe that soon, "The-Boy-Who-Lived" would be his brother-in-law. He went to the kitchen and soon came with two bowls of what looked like spaghetti. We ate in silence while I thought about how great it was to work with the twins at the Weasley's Wizard Wheezes. Even though, I'll be soon employed as the Head of the Department of Magical Sports and Games, I'll sure miss working there. Suddenly, I wondered when Harry's and Ginny's wedding would be. So I asked him.
He said, "I don't know, Ron. We just got engaged day before yesterday and yesterday was my birthday so we really didn't have a chance to talk, today, the girls left for the Burrow so I'm sure we wont be able to talk about the wedding for atleast a week."
"Harry, I just want you to know, I think it's great that you and my sister are engaged. I mean, I just knew that you guys would end up with each other from the first time you started going out. I think what I'm trying to say is."
"Ron, it's okay, I understand."
"So do you want to play chess?" I asked deciding to change the subject.
"Sure"
We played until we could play no more. We went to bed almost immediately. I couldn't wait until next week.
