A/N: Well, I still don't own Harry Potter. I don't even own my family's copies of the first four books; those are my older brothers'. Thank you so much to everyone who reviewed. (And there were a lot of you-twelve in all.) I'm really sorry it so long to update! But the first step of the Percy Challenges is in this chapter!

Outlawed-little-angel: Well, I'm glad you liked it! I wanted to update sooner, but I've been VERY busy. I spent most of the past week writing a paper about how genetic characteristics of fruit flies are passed on. (Love the name!)

Webster: I'm so glad you love the story. I'm glad he proposed too. Yeah, it is the perfect proposal; I wish someone would take ME to Italy to propose to me. (I'm actually half-Italian so that would be really awesome.) I'm so glad you found the story and that you love it.

Lily Nicole Potter: Ah yes! My favorite original character besides Callie reviews! I'm looking forward to the wedding too. I put in the checklist because I thought you guys would love it. You're awesome too!

Iluv-Siri-Boy: I didn't know that. Thanks for telling me. I'll utilize that from now on.

Hippygirl: Yes ma'am! (I like the name.)

Ayumi-dono: No, this isn't the last chapter. They have to tell their families, plan the wedding, and then get married. And after that, there will probably be a sequel.

Tardychick06: Yes, proposing with Callie and proposing in Italy; that was wonderful. I want the guy I marry to ask me to marry him in Italy. (Oh wait, I said that before. Well, who cares?)

Atomic Elf: Yes, you got two author's notes; this time you only get one. Thanks for reviewing every chapter.

Lostangel92: So glad you liked the chapter! Thanks for reviewing!

Son gomay vidal goku: Well, here's the more you wanted!

Kimi: Well, the other story is done. Yeah, I had fun writing that proposal.

Sarahamanda: I updated as fast as my insane life allowed.

Oliver looked at Ginny as they sat in his office. "I suppose we have to tell our families about this. I think they'd want to know."

"I know Fred and George will be thrilled to hear about it," Ginny replied. "They write me about once or twice a week to ask me if you've asked me to marry you; they want you to be their brother-in-law for some reason. I'm not sure why, but they do."

Oliver smiled. "I'm not sure I want to know why. I'll stick to they're my friends and I've always been like a brother to them and they want to make it official."

Ginny smiled. "Yeah, I'd stick to that. It's much better than whatever their real motives are. But on the plus side, Ron, Bill, Charlie, and Harry all really like you; that must count for something."

Her fiancée looked at her. She looked stunning; she'd changed into a pair of jeans and a black v-neck top, an outfit that showed off her curves in all the best possible ways. Her auburn hair hung loose, still curly for earlier in the day. "It does," he told her. "Having the respect of your brothers and Harry means the world to me."

"I know," she told him. "And Dad likes you too; he told me when we were home dealing with Percy that he was glad to see me with you because you make me happy and take such good care of Callie and me."

Oliver looked at Ginny. "I love you both so much." Then he kissed his fiancée.

When they pulled apart, Ginny looked at him. "Oliver, we should tell your sisters tomorrow morning. And then we can write letters to our families."

"Actually, I already wrote to your parents," he told her. "I wrote your father and asked his permission to marry you; he gave it with his blessing." He lifted a piece of parchment off his desk and handed it to her. "This was his response."

Dear Oliver, Ginny read.

First I would like to thank you for the good manners you showed in writing to my wife and me to ask our permission to marry Ginerva. I must say this only increases my respect for you. My wife and I were very impressed that you showed us such respect by asking us before you asked Ginny. And my answer to your request to marry my daughter and adopt my granddaughter is yes, you may. Oliver, I would be glad to have you marry my daughter and adopt Callie. I would be very proud to call you my son-in-law. I wish you and Ginny all the happiness in the world, and I give you my blessing to ask Ginny to marry you.

Sincerely,

Arthur Weasley

Ginny looked at Oliver. "You asked my father's permission to marry me?" She threw her arms around him and kissed his cheek. "Oh Oliver! That's wonderful." She looked at the letter again. "You want to adopt Callie? You really want to adopt Callie?"

Oliver nodded. "I want to make it official. Almost everyone in the wizarding world thinks that she's my daughter including her. I just want it to be real; I want her to become Calandra Rose Wood when you become Ginerva Kathryn Weasley."

"Oh!" she whispered. She didn't know what else to say. Finally she found the words. "Oliver, I would like that very much. You are, in my mind, the only father Callie ever needs to know."

"So you want me to adopt her?" he asked softly.

She nodded. "She needs a father; you are an excellent father for her."

The next morning, Oliver called his sisters into his office where he was waiting with Ginny and Callie. Maria burst into the office right away. "Are you engaged? Oliver, did you ask Ginny to marry you? Is that why you need to see us?"

Oliver laughed. "I want to wait until Juliet arrives before I tell you. I want to tell both of you at the same time."

"Ginny, are two engaged? Did he ask you to marry him yesterday? Did you say yes?"

Ginny laughed at the eleven-year-old girl's eagerness. "I think we'll wait for Juliet before we tell you our news."

Juliet ran into the room just then. "Ollie, did you ask Ginny to marry you? Did you? Did you?" she was speaking so fast her words were running together and she could barely breathe.

"Yes, I asked Ginny to marry me yesterday," Oliver said with a sigh. "And she said yes. We're getting married this June."

"Yes!" Juliet yelled, hugging both Ginny and Oliver. "I'm so happy for you! You're really getting married. Did you take her to Zio Ricardo's villa?"

"He did," Ginny told her future sister-in-law. "We had a picnic in the field near their house and then later in the evening, we had dinner with them."

"Did you meet our cousins?" Maria asked.

"I wanted her to," Oliver said. "But Emiliana was the only one who was home. Alessandro was on a date, Giovanni was working, Eliana was out with Pierto, and Elisabetta doesn't live at home anymore."

"Did you like Emiliana?" Juliet asked.

Ginny smiled. "She's very talkative."

Oliver laughed. "She's Italian; my mum says that Italians love to talk."

"Are you getting married because Callie's Oliver's daughter?" Maria asked naively.

"No," Oliver said severely. "We're getting married because we love each other. I love Ginny very much and she loves me, or at least I hope she does."

Ginny laughed and stroked his cheek. "I think I do love you."

Oliver's sisters looked at the couple. "They're so cute," Juliet whispered to Maria. "I mean, look at them. They're each other's perfect matches. The way they look at each other, the way they talk to each other, they just give themselves away."

Oliver smiled as he picked Callie from the rocker she was sitting in. He settled her on his hip and kissed her strawberry-blonde head. "You're my little princess," he whispered to her.

"See what I mean?" Juliet whispered to her younger sister. "He loves their daughter so much; it's so adorable. When I get married, I want to marry a guy like that; I want to marry a guy who is good with kids."

"A guy who loves children and wants a houseful of them," Maria commented. "I want a guy who has the same goals in life as I do."

"You're looking for Mr. Wonderful, aren't you?" Ginny asked Juliet and Maria. "Girls, guys like your brother are one in a million. They don't come along every day; they're the sons of good mothers and the brothers of good sisters."

"Then why is Percy such a jerk if he had a good mother and sister?" Oliver asked as he bounced Callie on his hip.

"Extenuating circumstances," Ginny replied. "We tried our best to make him a good guy but some lessons just don't take in some people."

At the end of March, the newly engaged couple went to the Weasleys' house to celebrate Callie's first birthday, Oliver and Ginny's engagement, and the birth of two new Weasley grandchildren. Alicia and George had a new daughter, Emily Sophia Weasley; Fred and Katie had a new son named Joseph Michael. Emily was born March 14 and her cousin was born March 15. The day was also the first of Bill, Charlie, Fred, George, and Ron's challenges for Percy.

When Oliver and Ginny arrived at The Burrow, everyone else was there. Katie and Alicia were in the living room talking to Penny and holding their new babies. "The guys are out in the backyard talking about Quidditch," Katie told Oliver.

"Thanks," he told her and then headed outside.

"They're devising ways to deal with Percy," Alicia told Ginny. "Now sit down. Your mother has Maya and Angelina penned up in the kitchen. The boys are outside with the guys and the girls are various places. Katie's daughters were playing dolls in the living room, as were Alicia's twin girls.

Ginny sat down but let Callie go play with Elizabeth, Rebecca, Molly, and Maggie. Then she started talking to her sisters-in-law. "Do you have any ideas as to what the guys are thinking up?"

Alicia shook her head. "No, Fred and George are letting Ron, Bill, and Charlie be in charge of this challenge since they've been so busy in the past two weeks since Joe and Emma were born."

"So I take it little Miss Emily is keeping you busy?"

Alicia laughed. "It's not so much her as it is Nick, John, Beth, and Becky. Having two sets of twins and a newborn baby isn't exactly easy. Nick and John are more trouble than Beth, Becky, and Emma combined. You'd think that twin four-year-olds would be less trouble than twins in the terrible twos and a newborn baby. But no…"

Katie laughed. "You're married to a Weasley twin. What did you expect your Weasley twins would be like?"

"I was hoping the goodness of the Spinnet family would rub off on them."

"What Spinnet goodness?" Katie teased. "Your siblings are all rascals and so are you. Now the Bells are well-behaved people but not the Spinnets."

Alicia rolled her eyes. "Please, you are not well-behaved."

"None of the Dumbledore grandchildren are well-behaved," Harry said as he walked into the room. "I was always in trouble at school. You two were always in trouble. Oliver was insane. If you're one of the Dumbledore grandchildren, you're not perfect."

Katie rolled her eyes. "I was a perfect little angel; I have no clue what you're talking about."

Harry rolled his own eyes. "Right, Katherine, believe what you want. I have to take this stuff to Bill. I'll be back later."

It was only as he was leaving that Ginny realized Harry was carrying a bag of Weasleys' Wizarding Wheezes with him. "What are they doing?" she asked.

Katie shrugged. "I have no clue. Quite frankly, I'm not sure I want to know."

Alicia nodded in agreement when suddenly the baby in her arms started crying. "You're hungry aren't you, little one?"

Ginny noticed Penny watching as Alicia began nursing Emily. Penny seemed a little curious and more than a little uncomfortable. "What's wrong?" Ginny asked her sister-in-law.

"I-I've-I've just never seen anyone breastfeed a baby before," Penny slowly answered.

"Really? Never?" Katie asked, shocked.

"I'm an only child and both my parents are only children. I've never been around babies before I married Percy and was around all your kids. Alex and Larissa were the first babies I ever saw up close."

"You're kidding!" Alicia squealed. "Oh my gosh! The first time I held a baby I was like two. It was either Harry or one of my siblings or another one of my cousins."

"Same here," Katie said. "And it was one of those three babies."

Penny looked at them. "You've been around babies your entire lives? Don't they get annoying after a while?"

"Nope," Ginny replied. "They can be tiring and frustrating but you'll never stop loving being around babies. The first time I held Callie in my arms, I was hooked; she's like an addiction. I can't go a single day without my baby."

Callie looked up at her mother just then. "Mama!" she cooed as she threw her arms up in the air.

"Callie!" her mother cooed back. She looked at Penny. "Callie's the best thing that ever happened to me."

"Not me?" Oliver asked walking in.

"You're second best."

He kissed her. "That's good enough for me. Now we need you ladies to come join us in the backyard at the Quidditch pitch. You'll see what we're doing. Now, follow me."

Percy was standing at the center of the Quidditch Pitch. "I'm not sure I want to do this."

"Oh come on," Harry said reassuringly. "This will be fun."

"What does he have to do?" Penny asked.

"Score seven goals on Oliver in two hours," Charlie announced as if he was announcing that he liked cheese pizza. "It shouldn't be that hard."

"It shouldn't be that hard?" Percy yelled. "Oliver's only one of the best keepers in the world."

"Fred and George are going to be beaters," Charlie went on. "Harry will be the Seeker, and Ron and I will be the other chasers."

"And Ron and Charlie can't give Percy any help," Harry added.

Penny shut her eyes as her husband, his brothers, Harry, and Oliver flew up in the sky. Katie, Angelina, Alicia, Maya, Ginny, and Hermione stood together, eagerly watching. "I wonder what will happen," Katie said with a smirk.

Percy scored three goals easily. "Oliver intentionally let those go in," Alicia said. "He wanted to make things seem easy at first but now he'll make it hell for Percy."

And Alicia was right. After those first three goals, Oliver stopped every shot Percy made. Percy was getting visibly frustrated. He was swearing and grunting. He was making stupid, hasty decisions that were ending up in him making more stupid mistakes. Angelina shook her head. "Percy needs to just calm down and stop thinking with his pride; pride always screws you over in Quidditch."

Ginny nodded. "Years of watching our brothers play Quidditch should have taught Percy that."

"Yeah but how much attention did he pay to those Quidditch matches?" Angelina asked. "Think about it. He probably went because he was a prefect but he wasn't that interested in Quidditch. He probably just read a book or something most of the time."

Katie nodded. "He never came to any of the parties or anything."

"But he did try to break up the parties," Alicia pointed out. "He never failed to do that."

At the end of Percy's two hours, he'd scored six goals. When the men landed, Bill shook his head. "You just needed one more goal to pass that task. We'll give you points for scoring six goals and for hard work and effort but you'll need to do better next time. But this challenge isn't completed. Fred and George are going to give you a pastry to eat and you have to not get mad about it if you're turned into a canary or anything."

Percy moaned. "Fine."

George handed his brother a Pasty. Percy eyed it cautiously and carefully bit into it. He chewed slowly and then swallowed with a look of fear on his face. Instantly, he turned into a chicken. "We charmed it so it would turn him into the animal that he most like," George announced. "And he's a chicken."

Ginny laughed as Oliver wrapped his arm around her shoulders. He pressed his cheek against hers. "Cold, love?" she asked.

"Why do you ask?" he asked as he pressed his palms against her neck.

"Argh!" she shrieked. "Because your hands and cheek are as cold as ice."

He smiled. "It is a little colder up in the air. But if you kissed me, I'm sure it would warm me up."

She rolled her eyes. "That is so immature, so third year. But we could try it sometime. Right now I'm thinking we should go inside and eat dinner."

He kissed her lips. "It worked," he told her with a smile. "My lips are warmer already."

She laughed. "Some days you are such a prat. I'm not quite sure why I love you or why I agreed to marry you."

"You love me because I'm hot," he joked. "And we're getting married because we love each other."

"No, I love you because you're smart, sensitive, loving, caring, and you're wonderful with my daughter," she told him. Then she kissed him. "I love you because you're the best thing that's happened in my life in a long time, tied for first with Callie."

After dinner and cake, the family went into the living room to open Callie's presents. Ginny and Oliver settled on a loveseat with Callie in Oliver's lap while Ginny opened presents. "This one is from Uncle Percy and Aunt Penny," Ginny said. "What do you think it is, Callie?"

"Doggie!" the baby squealed.

Ginny laughed as she unwrapped the package. "No, Callie, it's not a doggie. It's a dress. See, it's a pretty blue dress."

Callie clapped her hands together. "Doggie!"

Oliver smiled. "No, Callie, it's not a doggie; it's a dress."

Ginny picked up the next package. "This is from Grandma and Papa. Oh, look, Callie, it's books. Lots of pretty books, we can read these together before bed. And this from Uncle Charlie and Aunt Maya; aren't these pretty dolls?"

"Doggie!"

Ginny smiled as she opened the next present. "This is from Uncle Bill and Aunt Angelina. It's stuffed dog."

Callie grabbed the dog and hugged it. "Doggie!"

"There's also a dress for you. I think you'll like it." She picked up the next package. "This is from Uncle Fred and Aunt Katie. It's a toy broom."

Uncle George and Aunt Alicia gave her a box of stuffed animals, including a dog. Uncle Ron gave her a toy wand. Uncle Harry and Aunt Hermione gave her some clothes, a dress, a couple of shirts and a couple pairs of pants. Ginny gave her daughter some clothes and some toys. Oliver gave her some stuffed dogs; Callie was in love with dogs for some reason no one knew why. But Callie's favorite present was Oliver's dogs. She kept hugging them and hugging Oliver.

Ginny looked at Oliver. "You make both of us so happy. I love you so much."

A/N: Okay, so after many weeks of waiting you can finally read chapter 17. Aren't you happy? Please review and tell me if you like it or if I should stop writing. And I am thinking about writing a sequel to When You See a Guy Reach For Stars in the Sky. I'm not sure if I'll do it or not but I'm thinking about it.
