Chapter 5

"Hi Harry," Ginny said awkwardly.

"Oh, hi Ginny," Harry said awkwardly as well. "It has been a long time since I've seen you."

"Yes, it has been about five years," replied Ginny.

"So, Happy Christmas everyone," Hermione said to break the awkward silence that had followed Harry and Ginny's greeting.

"Well, I'm so glad that everyone could be here. I just miss my family so much," Molly said, yet again going into an emotional tirade.

"Mum, we know, we know. We're glad to be home too, but don't go all sentimental on us," Bill told his mother.

"Yes, we've all been very busy," Charlie said. "Speaking of which, Oliver, it has been a long time since we've seen you, are you still the Keeper of Puddlemore United?"

"No, I haven't been the Keeper of Puddlemore United for a year, as a matter of fact, I was the Keeper of the Chudley Cannons."

"Was?" Ron inquired.

"Yea, I broke my leg recently, and even though I can walk fine, I will never recover completely so I can't play Quidditch any more."

"How awful," Harry sympathized.

"Yea, but I have a great friend helping me out," at this he snatched a glance at Ginny.

At this comment, Ginny blushed very red, something that Harry didn't fail to notice. He couldn't help but feel a little jealous. It looked as if there was something going on with her and Oliver.

The conversations continued as they relived old memories. Oliver was talking to Bill and Charlie about Quidditch while Ginny was talking to Ron, Hermione, Harry, and the twins about the twins' latest pranks.

Harry then pulled Ginny to the side. "Ginny, can I talk to you?" Harry asked.

"Yea, sure," Ginny replied wondering what Harry wanted to talk to her about, she was still a little uncomfortable around him.

"OK, let's go outside, I don't want to be overheard," and with that he led her outside under a tree.

Harry had come to the party to do something, and he wasn't leaving until he did it. All the same, Oliver came to do something too, he had come to tell Ginny that he loved her. He was about to ask her to talk to him, but Harry beat him to it and asked to talk to her first. Oliver just figured that he'd talk to her later.

"What do you want to talk about, Harry?" Ginny asked.

"I wanted to talk about us."

"Us? I thought there was no us."

"That is where I made the biggest mistake of my life. I only broke up with you because I thought it wouldn't be fair to you if I was never around. However, I realized I was wrong. I quit my job as an auror to become the new Defense Against Dark Arts teacher. I was miserable without you. I love you." He then bent down on one knee and asked, "Will you marry me?"

Ginny was so shocked; she looked at Harry and thought about what he had just said. All previous thoughts about Oliver were thrown out the window. She now realized what she had to do, "I love you too, yes I will marry you."

At this Harry put the ring on her finger and pulled her into a passionate kiss. They were so wrapped up in each other, they didn't notice the 25 year old young man that walked sadly out of the burrow and up the street away from the woman he loved.
