The Meaning Of Christmas

Chapter 2: You're all I want for Christmas

(364 days later.........lol Christmas Eve)

"Mr. Weasley?" Harry knocked on the door to Arthur's workshop.

"Come in Harry!"

Harry entered the room and glance at all the muggle artifacts spread throughout the room. Plugs, batteries, a rubber duck, a dissected television set, and many other things were scattered around the small workspace.

"Um......... Mr. Weasley......... Could I ask you something?"

"Anything, Harry."

"Well, you see......... It's muggle custom to......... To......... ask the father......... Well I......... Could I ask Ginny to marry me?"

A huge smile suddenly appeared on Mr. Weasley's face.

"Of course, my dear boy, of course! Dear me, Molly thought this day would never come!"

"Thanks Mr. Weasley!" and with that, he went to look for Ginny.

"I swear Gin! He's going to ask you!"

"Don't be ridiculous 'Mione! He's not going to ask me any such thing."

"Don't be so sure." She stated with a knowing smile.

"What do you know that I don't?"

"Let's just say that my husband didn't invent those extendable ears for nothing."

"Hermione Granger! What did you hear?"

"You'll find out soon enough."

"Grrr......... Fine! Be that way, then!"

"Ok, I will." She started chuckling. "Honestly Gin, don't look at me like that! Oh!"

"What?" Ginny exclaimed, hurrying over to her friend.

"The baby kicked!" she said, with awe in her voice.

"Geez! Don't scare me like that!"

"Sorry, but she's never done it before."

"What makes you so sure it's a girl? The chances of having a girl in this family are very slim."

"I know," Hermione said laughing, "but I can hope!! So anyway......... How do you think you'll do on your N.E.W.T.s?"

Harry found Ginny in the living room discussing N.E.W.T.s with Hermione.

"Hey ladies." He said, somewhat nervously.

"Hey Harry." They said in unison.

"Um......... Ginny, would you like to go for a walk with me?"

"Sure. You don't mind, do you 'Mione?"

"Of course not!" Hermione said, winking at Ginny. "I'll just go see if Molly needs any help with dinner." With that, she waddled (a/n hehe) out of the room.

Harry and Ginny grabbed their coats and went outside. They walked in silence until they nearly reached the orchard. He nervously took her hand.

"Harry, are you okay?"

"Yeah," he said grinning awkwardly, "Ginny, I have a early Christmas present for you."

He pulled a small, square box out of his pocket and gave it o her.

Slowly she opened it. Inside was the prettiest ring she'd ever seen. She looked up at him with tears in her eyes.

"Oh, Harry!"

He took the ring from the box and kneeled in front of her.

"Ginevra Molly Weasley, I want my arms around you for Christmas. I want to share your kisses. I don't need any presents under the tree. You're all I want, my darling. The rest is only tinsel and show. Will you marry me?"

He looked up at her tear streaked face......... hoping.........

"Yes, Harry Potter! Yes, I will marry you!"

"I love you, Ginny"

"I love you too, Harry"

Then they kissed. A kiss full of promises of tomorrow and everyday after that. A kiss that made them oblivious to the shouts of joy coming from the kitchen of the Burrow.

Hehehe......... well there you go! I wanted to have this up by Christmas, but I was sadly disappointed. Big thanks to Nomis (George) for prereading this chapter (without her, Ginny would still be saying, "Don't be ridiculous 'Mione! He's not going to ask me any suck thing.") Thanks to those of you who reviewed. By the way ShadowHand......... I wouldn't normally put it that way either, but I was trying to include lyrics from the song.

That reminds me. I don't own any of the songs that are used for the chapters, except one that I may use later on.
