Harry sat in the common room with Ron at his side. "What am I going to do? How am I going to ask her?"
Ron sighed, " I dunno, mate you've got yourself into a right mess. No offense or anything, just it's right confusing. How are you going to ask her. She's my sister, mind you, so you better be kind and err, romantic"
Harry chuckled, "I suppose you're right. But help me here. I know you're not exactly Romeo but you've got to have some idea's."
"I dunno", He replied. "Maybe you could take her someplace special."
"Yeah, yeah. I'll do that but I dunno where I'll take her. I mean it's gotta be on school grounds, cause I mean the order won't let me go anywhere. I was surprised they let me go to buy that ring. But then again I did see Tonks an Lupin so I guess that's why they let me go that time. But I dunno where I'll go this time." Harry said stroking his chin in an odd sort of way.
"How about the astronomy tower?" Ron said with his eyes wide in question.
"That is not a bad idea. Not a bad idea at all, I could take her up there have a nice dinner. At the end of dinner I could propose." Harry stood up and started pacing. "The possibilities are endless. I'll get the house elves to make something to eat. I could probably find a way to keep us warm. This is going to be great Ron."
"Yeah mate, I'm happy for you. But if your gonna find a way to keep you two warm we should go to the library and look up a spell for what you're needing. You should probably also clear it with Dumbledore , I mean the whole dinner and a proposal thing." Ron said and Harry laughed.
"dinner and a proposal", Harry laughed.
"What?" Ron said confused.
" Haven't you ever heard somebody say 'dinner and a movie'?" Harry asked.
"No", Ron said flatly.
"Ohh", Harry responded. Sometimes it was hard when your best mate grew up in a completely different environment than yourself. Hermione would have got that, Harry sighed and went on.
"Anyhow, why don't we go down to the library and get started. Hermione and Ginny shouldn't be back for a while. I need to talk to Hermione when they get back, I had her run a little errand for me." Harry said as he headed for the door.
Hermione and Ginny were heading to the Leaky Cauldron. Hermione's pockets were considerably lighter and she felt around in her pocket and ran her finger over the emerald necklace in her pocket. Harry had asked her to find something for Ginny, something, anything she would love. Hermione hadn't a clue what to get her. But when she saw Ginny eying that necklace she was sure that she would love it. Especially if Harry gave it to her.
They headed to the fire and Ginny went first. "See you in a sec", she said to Hermione. "Hogwarts", she said loudly and clearly.
Hermione followed suit and threw floo powder into the flames. She climbed into the hearth while the warm Emerald flames licked her ankles. "Hogwarts", she said. She immediately felt the effects of traveling by floo powder. She detested it, she always felt the urge to puke. In a few moments she flopped out of the fireplace and she heard Ginny laughing. Ginny reached a hand out and she took it.
Ginny pulled Hermione up and giggled. "You really are hilarious when you fall".
"Thanks" Hermione said rather grievously.
"Let's go find our men", Ginny laughed.
"Alright", Hermione said. "Let's go then."
They went up to the common room and found Harry and Ron playing wizards chess and Harry was as usual being beaten badly. Ginny came up behind him and wrapped her arms around his neck in a cat-like way. "Hey babe", she said sweetly.
"Hi", He replied kissing her.
"Hey not at the chess table!" Ron said laughing.
"Well I won't get mad if you and Hermione snog while we're playing chess if that makes you feel better." Harry replied.
"Well then", Ron said, "If you won't get mad." Ron pulled Hermione closer and kissed her deeply.
"Why don't we go down to dinner?" Ginny suggested. "I'm famished. The only thing I had when we were shopping was a pumpkin tart." Ginny then got up dramatically, and headed toward the door. "So, are you coming?" She waited . Ron got up and followed his sister out the door leaving Hermione and Harry in the common room.
"Did you get something?" Harry said quickly.
"Yeah, I did. It's this silver necklace with an emerald in the center that tells you stuff I'll explain more later. But when she saw it her eyes lit up. I could tell she wanted it more than anything. I bought it right after she left." Hermione explained pulling the back box out that held the necklace.
"Thanks Hermione. I owe you one. I'll go put this in the dormitory and get down to the Great Hall. You go now. Just tell them that I was putting the chess board up okay?"
Hermione nodded and left. Harry looked at the piece of jewelry. It was exquisite. The Emerald was huge the size of a robin's egg, and it was flawless. He traipsed up to his dormitory and pulled the lid of his trunk open. He carefully set it in his trunk between some socks and boxer shorts. He smiled and took a moment to appreciate how lucky he was and then he ran down the steps through the common room and when he came within forty foot of Ron , Hermione, and Ginny he slowed his pace to a fast walk.
He came up behind Ginny and wrapped his arms around her waist. "Hey Hun", he murmured into her ear.
"Hi", She whispered back. "What took you so long?"
"It's a secret", He smiled.
"Ooh a secret? Will you tell me ?" She replied curiously.
"Eventually", He answered.
"Tell me now", she said in a mock whiney voice.
"No", He chuckled. "You'll just have to wait and see."
"If I must." She said dejectedly.
"Cheer up", he said in response to her fake sadness.
"You'll just have to cheer me up yourself", she teased.
"Later", he smiled. "Not in front of Ron."
"Oh so it would be fine in front of Hermione?" Ginny asked.
"Okay, Not in front of her either." He supplied.
They arrived in the Great Hall and Ginny's stomach rumbled in anticipation. "Hungry ehh?" Harry asked.
'Yes, I told you that already." She smiled.
They sat down and waited for the tables to fill with food. Ginny was hungry, she watched the silver and gold platters and willed them to be covered with chicken ,beef ,and turkey. She was startled from her stare down when she heard Dumbledore's voice. "Good evening everyone", He began. "Tomorrow is Christmas Eve, We will be having a feast so be on time at six o'clock sharp. Unless of course, you have a previous engagement." Dumbledore's eyes twinkled mysteriously and the plates filled instantaneously with piles of food. Ginny didn't spare a second thought on what Dumbledore had said. There was more important business at hand. A chicken leg actually.
Ginny was happy and full, Harry had his arm wrapped tightly around her waist and was lightly tickling her stomach with his nimble fingers. She rested her head pleasantly on his shoulder. She wished she could always be content as she was now. She could scarcely believe that in the previous days she was mere inches from death. She still wanted to cry sometimes but overall she was healing. She smiled softly and looked up at Harry. He was gorgeous, he was everything to her. He wasn't looking at her at the moment and she loved the way his tall frame shielded her tiny one. She had gained a little weight since school had started and she was very self-conscience about it. Harry made her feel beautiful even when she didn't think she looked that beautiful.
"Want to go somewhere", she whispered.
"Where", he replied.
"Room of requirement", she supplied
They turned from their original path to Gryffindor tower and moments later they were at the door of the room of requirement. Ginny opened the door and was surprised to find the same room that had been there the night Ron had found out about she and Harry. They climbed into the giant chair and Harry ran his fingers through her thick hair. Her most prized possession. Every night she meticulously applied Dr. Bitts Magical Hair Care potion. She saved up for weeks to buy that stuff. It was worth every knut.
"So are you doing alright", Harry asked his hand coming to rest on her stomach.
Harry was laying with his back resting on the arm of the chair and his legs stretched out , with Ginny laying on top of him there bodies close. "I'm doing…okay", She sighed. "Not great, but I'm getting better everyday." Ginny took Harry's hand and kissed it softly.
"That's what I thought", Harry said. "Just know that I'm here for you forever and always. I love you."
"I love you too", she answered.
Ginny turned over and planted her mouth on Harry's. She teased him with her tongue and she felt him writhe with pleasure. She felt his hand snake over her body, one hand was caressing her bottom while the other took pleasure in her ample chest. Any other guy would have been slapped by now. She wasn't quite sure how her body made Harry so excited but she supposed it was the same reason his made her so happy. At the moment her hand was rubbing Harry's crotch and the other was in his hair.
Harry was unbuttoning her shirt and she wasn't putting up a fight. Her hands were fumbling around with his belt and she was loosing herself in her sexual pleasure. Harry was kissing her chest now and she was moaning slightly.
"Miss Weasley, Mr. Potter, I think you should get dressed and head to your dormitory." Said a voice.
Ginny immediately froze, Harry followed suit. They were in a very compromising position and Ginny saw a amused Professor McGonagal poking her head around the door. She brought herself into full view and Ginny began buttoning her shirt as fast as she could possibly manage. She fumbled with the buttons more than she normally would and she un-startled herself from Harry so he could get his pants buttoned.
They stood and followed McGonagal as she was headed to Gryffindor Tower as well it seemed. She began to speak and Ginny tried combing her hair back into an acceptable form.
"Now children, I know you may care for each other immensely but you are very young. Too young to engage in, well, what you were going to engage in by the looks of it. So the main lesson from all of this is, lock the door." Professor McGonagal smiled and turned a corner where Ginny began to giggle. Harry joined her and they made their way to the common room uneventfully and they sat on the couch talking for a while before Harry began to yawn.
"To bed then Ehh?" Ginny said.
"Yeah", Harry answered.
They got to the steps and Harry said goodnight. He then turned to go up the steps. A few moments later Harry realized Ginny was still there. "Sleeping in my dorm tonight?" He asked.
"Uhuh", she said nodding. They reached the door and went through it where Ginny could hear her brother snoring and all the other hangings were shut across the room. They were virtually alone, Ginny smiled and came close to Harry snaking her arms around his strong chest and kissing his neck.
"Alright then, just make sure you lock the door" Harry smiled.
