The Seeker: Harry James Potter
Disclaimer: I do not own the Harry Potter characters.
Alright, y'all. Before I start the highly anticipated Chapter Twelve, let me explain to my confused reviewer, kensai2, why does Harry drives to the Ministry.
The Ministry of Magic, as stated in the Order of the Phoenix written by J.K. Rowling. So, Harry had to travel to the phone booth in the Muggle World with Mr. Arthur Weasley before allowed to enter the Ministry. So, in my fic, I'm making a car park at the Ministry. So, Ministry wizards can enter the Ministry via car.

On with the story…
Chapter Twelve: The Proposal
Harry Potter entered the kitchen of his enormous mansion, gained from his Quidditch club and national team. He saw Cho at the stove, frying some pancakes. Harry gave her a peck on her cheek, before walking to the refrigerator, to drink some milk. Suddenly, the door bell rang. Harry exited the kitchen and made his way to the front door. It was his best friends. "Hello Ron, Hermione. What brings you here this early?" greeted Harry. Ron looked at Harry slightly before answering, "Oh, just checking on your current state. You know, you've attempted more suicides than Percy's praises for Cornelius Fudge."
Harry and Hermione sniggered at Ron's humor. Cho exited the kitchen asking, "Who is it, dear?" Harry called back, "Its Ron and Hermione. Can they stay for breakfast?" Cho gave both of them a hug and answered, "Sure, why not?" Hermione followed Cho to prepare breakfast, while Ron helped Harry remove the sling. "How's it?" asked his concerned friend. Harry jokingly replied, "It hurts like I have just been bitten by an acromantula," (A/N: Hey, I ain't making that up. Check Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them by Newt Scamander. Aragog from COS was an acromantula.) Harry replied, knowing warily that Ron has a phobia for spiders.
Ron shivered and answered, 'Hey, Harry. It's not funny. We were almost killed in our second year by an insane spider. Follow the spiders, said Hagrid. It was suicide!" Harry laughed heartily and started a game of pool with Ron. Ron was fascinated by the Muggle game, and practiced playing it with Harry ever since. Before long, Cho and Hermione called for Harry and Ron to the dining room. They abandoned their game and entered the dining room, joking.
While they were eating, Cho and Hermione were talking about the new necklace sold at the new jewellery store in Diagon Alley. Harry took the opportunity to tell his friend about his interests. He kneeled on a knee, and showed Ron the ring and necklace which Cho was talking excitedly to Hermione about. They were to busy to notice their boyfriends' antics. Ron blushed and replied in a girl's voice, "Oh, Harry! I don't think I can believe it…" Harry thumped Ron on the head and exited the dining room, with Ron in pursuit.
It was six o' clock in the evening. Harry dressed himself expensively, in a tuxedo. He was looking forward to dinner, where he could spend some intimate time with Cho. She was still in the bathroom, perfecting herself. They were due to arrive at Cupid's Lair at seven. (A/N: The newest restaurant located in Hogsmeade) It was the fanciest and most romantic spot in the Wizarding World. Harry chuckled and felt his pocket again. Yes, the engagement ring was there. He gelled his hair for this occasion, but somehow or rather, his hair was is untamed and wild.
Cho exited the bathroom in a silk dress, strapless and blue in colour. Harry beamed at her and said, "You're gorgeous," which earned him a peck. The doorbell rang at six thirty. A chauffeur with a limousine was parked at Harry's mansion's gate. Harry smiled and said, "Ladies, first." Cho thanked him and entered the limousine. Harry locked his mansion's door, before joining Cho in the limousine. The chauffeur closed the door and sat in the driver's seat. He drove them to the airport where there was a private jet awaiting the young couple.
It flew them to an airport near Hogsmeade. Another limousine was there to drive them to Hogsmeade. They had lots of intimate time together. They talked and shared some romantic moments together. (A/N: Hey, didn't want to make it to mushy, yet) When they arrived, the chauffeur opened the door for the couple. They exited the vehicle and Harry felt for the ring. It was still there. Harry held her hand and walked with her to the reception. The waitress at the reception was dressed like Cupid. Harry chuckled and said, "Mr. Potter and Miss Chang." She looked into the book before replying, "Yes, welcome Mr. Potter and Miss Chang. Please follow me to your table."
Harry smiled at Cho and followed the waitress. It was located at the terrace of the restaurant, overlooking the quiet village of Hogsmeade. Harry pulled the chair out, for Cho to take a seat before settling in his chair. The waitress handed them their menus, before attending to other couples. Harry glanced at Cho who was reading the menu attentively. She asked, 'Harry, there's so many food. I don't know which to choose from." Harry smiled and called for the waitress. "Give me Love set 2, and two bottles of champagne," said Harry, before the waitress nodded and left them.
The couple heard soft music playing inside and decided to join in. Harry stood up and offered his hand, "May I take this dance?" Cho smiled at him and replied, "I'd love to." Harry led her to the dance floor and a slow song started playing. Cho leaned in towards Harry and placed her chin on his right shoulder. They danced for several minutes and Cho melted into his arms. Harry was deep in thought. He wondered when the right time for proposal was. "Maybe when we take a stroll in Hogsmeade," he thought. After the dance, they returned to their seats, and dinner was already served. Harry poured champagne into two goblets and drank deeply. Cho merely sipped it.
After dinner, Harry paid the bill before leading Cho out of the restaurant. They strolled through Hogsmeade and finally they reached the Shrieking Shack. Cho heard from Harry that Professor Lupin used to transform into a werewolf there. Harry took a deep breath and his hand plunged into his pocket. The next few seconds was Cho Chang's most magical moment of her life, the love of her life proposing to her. She said, "Yes," with tears of joy in her eyes. Harry slipped the emerald and gold ring around her finger before kissing her on the lips.
How was that? Just review. Thanks
