The Proposal

It was Sunday morning and Ginny had already left for the spa with Hermione and Harry was on his way into the village. He was nervously fidgeting with his tie as he and Ron headed down the path.

"Where are we headed to?" Ron asked.

"I'm headed for the village. You're headed to Professor Sprout in greenhouse three." Ron groaned. He then took of in a jog across the grounds as Harry continued down the path making a detour to visit Hagrid.

He knocked on the large door and heard Fang's, now familiar, booming barks.

"Shut up ye stupid dog!" he heard Hagrid mutter. Then the huge door swung open.

"Oh 'ello 'ere 'arry! Care for a cuppa tea?" he asked ushering Harry inside. Harry nodded as he sat down.

"I wanted to talk to you about something important..." Harry started and Hagrid nodded. 'I'm going to ask Ginny to marry me." Hagrid's eyes filled with tears.

"Oh yer Mum and Dad would 'ave been so proud..." he said giving Harry a watery smile. I still remember when your Dad proposed to your Mum...

Flashback::

It was Lily and James' seventh year at school and it was the Christmas feast. There was garland and holly everywhere. Lily was dressed in bottle green robes and James was wearing midnight blue. Lily was coming down from her dorm when Sirius went up to her and told her that James wanted to speak with her urgently. He led her downstairs and into the Great Hall. There was a note on the long house table...

"Lily I know where your favorite spot is... go there... James."

Lily tore out of the room and sprinted out into the snow she ran toward the lake. She sprinted all the way to the south end and looked for James. She felt a strong hand take hers. She turned around and saw James. He led her to a platform levitating near the bank. She carefully stepped on and James followed. They floated out over the black water and when they reached the middle of the lake James turned to face her and said, "Marry me Lils?" He still had the Potter cockiness as usual. Lily had tears streaming down her cheeks. She just nodded and jumped into his arms. Then there was an uproar form the direction of the castle. The whole school had been watching, but she said yes and they both couldn't have been happier.

End Flashback

Harry listened as Hagrid relived the memorable proposal. He was getting anxious, so after hurried goodbyes to Hagrid, he left and headed for the village.

His first stop was the spa.

"Hello! How may I help you?" the woman at the desk asked sweetly. "Oh my you're Harry Potter." Then she gave him a sultry smile and wink.

"I believe Miss Ginny Weasley, my girlfriend, and Miss Hermione Granger are on their way here as we speak." she nodded. "I want to pay for anything they want today." She looked up in surprise. Harry pulled out a sack of galleons and set it on the table. She nodded and took the money.

He left the spa and headed for the Three Broomsticks.

"Oh Hello Harry!" Greeted Madame Rosmerta. "What can I do for you today?"

"Well actually I'm planning on proposing to Ginny tonight-"she gasped. "and I need your help."

"What can I do?"

"Well I sent her and Hermione to the spa today and I'm assuming that they'll come here for lunch or a butterbeer. So I need you to give this to Ginny." He held out a slender rectangle box and a piece for parchment. She nodded. "Now I still have a lot to do so I really must be going..." She waved goodbye as he left the pub.

Next, he decided, he would stop by the jewelers and get the ring polished.

A bell rang as he opened the door. He looked around. It was dry and the dust hung in the air. It reminded him of Ollivanders wand shop in Diagon Ally. He slowly walked toward the counter, dust kicking up as he walked. He rang the bell and a few moments later a white-haired, wizened, old man stood in front of him.

"My name's Percus Ollivander. How may I help you young Mr. Potter?" Harry looked at him dumbfounded.

"I didn't know Mr. Ollivander had a brother." He said stilled dazed. Percus nodded. "Well I need a ring polished." He said coming out of his daze and holding the ring out. Percus took the silver band.

"This was Lily Evans ring. Was it not?" Harry nodded. "Well this is a fine ring. Very high quality."

"How do you know that?" Harry asked confused.

"I made it." He replied simply.

"Oh... Well I am planning to propose to my girlfriend tonight so I need it polished." Percus nodded.

"Your girlfriend is Ginny Weasley. Correct?"

"Yes but how did you know?"

"It seems that Potter's have a certain attraction to redheads." He replied with a wink.

"I'll be back later today to pick up the ring..." Harry said leaving the store. Percus nodded and waved.

He headed for the hair salon next.

"Hellooo beautiful... M'name's Bobby. How can I help you?" Bobby asked Harry as he entered the salon.

"I sent my girlfriend and best friend to the spa today and I believe they'll stop in here. I wanted to prepay for anything they want done."

"Okay what are their names?"

"Ginny Weasley and Hermione Granger"

He nodded. Harry placed some galleons on the counter, said goodbye to Bobby and headed for Wizard Republic.

He headed down the street and saw Ron waiting for him outside the store.

"Hey is everything ready?" Harry asked.

"Yeah. You just need to put the finishing touches on the room."

They entered the store and were met with a smell of lilies and soft rain. Harry inhaled deeply. He and Ron then walked over to the counter.

"How may I help you gentlemen?" the attendant asked.

"I need to pick out a dress for my girl friend, who after tonight will be my fiancée."

The woman nodded.

"What is your price range?"

"I don't have one. I want the best."

"Okay follow me right this way." She led him to the back room where all the most exquisite gowns were.

"What color were you looking for?"

"Pale green"

She disappeared for a few moments only to return with five or six dresses. The first was too puffy and frilly. The next was a velvet material and Harry didn't like it. The next one was way too short. So short, that Ron nearly had a stroke picturing his little sister in it. Finally there was the one. It was light green satin with a chiffon drape front. (look at this dress for a visual picture ?stid1150&pid23685&cfid28)

It was perfect.

"How much?" Harry asked.

"200 galleons."

"I'll take it!" Harry said and Ron gaped.

"Harry that's... that's 200 galleons! Are you mad?"

"I know how much it costs but I don't care."

Ron nodded numbly.

"When Miss Weasley comes here will you give her this dress?"

The attendant nodded as she rang Harry up.

They paid and headed for the school. Only stopping to pick up the ring. They still had things to get ready.

NOW THIS IS WHERE I LEFT OFF IN THE LAST CHAPTER

"You have two minutes until the portkey activates." He said knowing that when he saw her next she would be the future Mrs. Potter. She nodded and stepped away from him. She looked at herself in the mirror one last time before feeling that familiar pull behind her navel...

She was swirled past blurred objects finally landing in her dormitory. She blinked thinking it was a dream. There were white candles everywhere. They were giving off a vanilla scent. The floor was covered with red rose petals. She carefully walked toward her bed where she could see a piece of parchment.

It read:

Ginny,

You...

Are perfect,

Beautiful,

Exquisite,

Breathtaking.

When you're in

The room

I can't concentrate,

I'm taken with you.

The way you smell,

The way you move,

The way you fit

In my arms.

Perfect.

I want you

I need you

Love me...

Let me

Love you

For all

Eternity

Ginny I love you more than life, pick up the white roses and meet me by the lake for a midnight serenade.

Harry

Ginny tried not to cry. However she felt a single tear slip down her cheek. Damn you Potter for being so sweet and making me cry. She thought. She turned around and saw that there were long stemmed white roses scattered on the floor. She bent down and picked them up, one-by-one following the trail down to the common room. When she picked up the twelfth rose she felt the sensation behind her navel again.

She was suddenly standing next to the lake on the south end. She turned around and saw him. Harry was standing not ten feet from where she had appeared. He walked toward her and took her hand. He brought it to his lips and kissed it.

"You look dazzling tonight." He said softly. "Care for a dance?"

Ginny nodded and Harry led her to a platform floating near the bank. He stepped on to it and helped her on. She slipped her small hand into his and he curled his arm around her slender waist pulling her closer. She rested her head on his chest. The music swirled around them, as they floated toward the middle of the lake.

Some day, when I'm awfully low,
When the world is cold,
I will feel a glow just thinking of you...
And the way you look tonight.

She looked up at Harry. He smiled back at her. She felt the butterflies stir up in her stomach. This feeling had become familiar to her by now.

Yes you're lovely, with your smile so warm
And your cheeks so soft,
There is nothing for me but to love you,
And the way you look tonight.

She was completely in love with Harry Potter. He was completely in love with Ginny Weasley.

With each word your tenderness grows,
Tearing my fear apart...
And that laugh that wrinkles your nose,
It touches my foolish heart.

"Gin..."

"Yeah"

"Love is an illusion

So intangible

Sought out by many

Achieved by few.

To love is to allow yourself

To be etched upon,

Like an open book

Filled with sorrow, pain, worry,

Elation, joy, rapture...

Love it like and ugly woman

With a beautiful soul.

Unseen, unrecognized,

Embraced.

Love is like rain

Powerful and deadly,

But it brings new life,

New hope,

New beginnings.

If love is achieved,

It is never lost,

It stays...

Forever.

Love is truly only one thing,

Selfless..." Harry let her go and looked her right in the eyes.

"Ginny Weasley I choose to be selfless. I choose to love you. Forever and always,

Marry me?" Ginny gasped. There were tears running down her cheeks now. She nodded.

"Yes Harry Potter I'll marry you! Oh Harry yes yes yes!" she yelled jumping into his arms.

There was an uproar from the direction of the castle as Harry slipped the ring onto her left ring finger. She was his and he was hers. Forever and always... The song, the dance, and reality was forgotten when Harry kissed his future Mrs. Potter.

Lovely ... never, ever change.
Keep that breathless charm.
Won't you please arrange it ?
'cause I love you ... just the way you look tonight.

Mm, mm, mm, mm,
Just the way you look to-night.
