Her Fallen Angel
The Proposal

Summary: He was her fallen angel and she would be the one that would lift him back up.
It was all set. Dinner on the roof top at the restaurant where they had had their first date. The restaurant was a small one, just a little Chinese one that was on the edge of Diagon Alley. It wasn't considered to be a very high class place, and that was exactly the reason of why the two of them liked it so much. The owner of "Yummy Chinese" was just an elderly couple that treated Harry and Ginny as if they were their own grandchildren. Another reason of why they loved this quaint little restaurant where they were never singled out for their status.
"Good evening Harry."
Harry smiled at the elderly Chinese woman before him. "Good evening Mrs. Chan, how are you doing tonight?"
"I'm doing great. Are you planning on popping the big question at her tonight?" Mrs. Chan asked Harry with a small mischievous smile firmly placed on the lips.
Harry laughed and shrugged his shoulders, almost bashfully. "I'm planning on, let's just hope that she accepts right?"
"I'm sure that she will Harry. Nobody could reject such a fine young man as yourself."
"Thanks for amusing me."
"You silly children these days. Now you better go upstairs and make sure that everything is all set up and ready before Ginny gets here! You want to make a good first impression tonight! And I'll be waiting to here Ginny's shout of laughter or joy and the screaming of the yes!"
Harry just smiled at the woman and ran up the stairs to the roof top.
It was their fourth anniversary, another reason of why this day was going to be so incredibly special to the two of them. Harry had made no hint whatsoever beforehand that he would ask her to marry him. It was supposed to be a surprise for her.
Harry was dressed casually tonight, trying not to draw too much attention onto himself to make it seem like something really important was going to happen. It was just some normal dress robes that were a dark green color, similar to all the other ones that he had worn on their dates to restaurants.
He sat down in the chair by the table and reached into his pocket to take out the velvet box that held the ring. Opening it, a smile begin to play at his lips. It was a beautiful ring, a simple, thin gold band -- just what Ginny preferred most. She didn't like the thick, extravagant gold bands. Then there was a beautiful heart cut diamond surrounded by two small rubies. A small chuckle escaped him, the ring was so very Gryffindor with the red and gold, but he knew that that wasn't the reason of why he had bought it. Ginny loved red and gold, simple reason for that, they were her two favorite colors. And why not give a girl an engagement ring with her favorite colors?
Harry heard the light noise of Ginny's footsteps coming up the stairs and he quickly closed the velvet box and put it back into his pocket. He looked up just as Ginny came up the stairs and he immediately grinned at her, feeling like a little boy who had almost been caught doing something he wasn't supposed to be doing.
"Hi," Harry said to Ginny, hoping to sound just like how he would normally sound when they went out on a date together. It came out with a hint of falter but it was expected of course, the guy was practically a jumble of nerves! Ginny, however, didn't seem to notice anything missing, thank goodness, and only smiled back at Harry.
"Hey," she replied back to him.
She was just as beautiful as always, and it was pretty clear that she hadn't spent any more time than she would have on a normal date. Not surprising of course, considering the fact that she didn't know anything about what Harry was about to do. She was wearing dark red dress robes. Extremely dark so it didn't clash at all with her hair. Her bright red curls were left down, cascading down her mid-back with only a few clips in them to pull back the bangs. She wore little makeup, a hint of the lip gloss that she always wore, and a little bit of blush.
The two of them broke into conversation as Ginny sat down when Harry pulled her chair out for her. Nothing out of the ordinary, just normal conversation with the laughter floating out occasionally.
"You do know what today is don't you?" Harry asked her as two fortune cookies were placed onto the table when they had finished eating.
Ginny looked at Harry and grinned, "Of course I do, fourth anniversary at the same restaurant where we first had our first date."
She reached for a fortune cookie and Harry felt himself began to panic slightly. She broke the cookie in half and nibbled on it slightly, deciding to wait a little while until she would look at it. What if she says no when I ask her to marry me? What will I --
His thoughts were cut short however when he heard a loud noise, a noise sounding as if somebody had just broken through a door. The noise was then followed by the screams of somebody -- Mrs. Chan, his mind screamed at him.
The two looked at each other and then Ginny nodded her head. "Stay where you are Ginny, and keep your wand out."
"Be careful!" Ginny cried after Harry as he bolted down the stairs.
Ginny stared back at the chair where Harry had just been, not knowing what to make of the situation. She took her fortune cookie and pulled the little slip of paper that held the fortune out. She gasped when she read the words that were written on the paper.
Will you marry me Ginevra Weasley?
She was his
He was hers
Plain and simple
But one thing they did miss
Not just anything
It was the most important
Life is never simple
It's not a simple ring
It's full of twists and turns
You're sure to find a shock
At every little corner
A new thing to mourn
They were told not to forget
But that was what they did
They weren't supposed to be happy
Wasn't supposed to get too comfy
Now it's back to square one
Back to being confused
Back to wondering what to do
Back to wishing
For something that will not come
Something that is impossible
Something that is too good
They want their lives to be simple
And I hate to be the one to say
Hate to break the news
That it will never happen
It will never be that way
