Chapter 4: Timeline

Jump forward: 2 years. Harry:19 Ginny:18

"Hey, Ginny? Hello?Where is she?" Harry called out the name of his steady girlfriend.

There was a flash of red. Harry pretended he didn't see it until:

"Oh, where,oh where has my Ginny gone?"

He sang out in a mock-confused voice. He carfully approached a large plant in the corner of their room.

Ginny stifled a giggle. Harry suddenly lept into Ginny's hiding place, attacking her ribs with outstreched fingers.

"HARRY!HARRY! oh my gods, Harry, have mercy, please!" Ginny screamed as her attacker tickled her every place reachable. Finally, neither of them had any air left in their heaving lungs.

"So, Gin-pea, d'you want to go out for dinner tonight?" Asked Harry, using a new-found nickname for Ginny.

"Sure, where at, Harry-poo?" Giggled Ginny, finding a nickname for Harry as well.

'Harry-poo' grimaced,then grinned. "Oh, I was thinking that new resturant downtown, where only wizarding families are allowed. You know, the Majik dera Foud?"He said innocently.

Ginny's cinnamon buckets got as round as her fist.

"Oh, that would be perfect! Thanks Harry-I-love-you!"

They got into another wrestling match until Amber got into a tissyfit over her adopted parents leaving her alone.

"Oooh, Ambey, don't cry,shhh! Mommy will leave you with Uncle Ronnie and Auntie Mione! Dont cry sweetie,it's okay."

Ginny had refered to her brother and his new wife, whom happened to be her best friend,Hermione.

"Please, 'Mione? Amber only stopped crying when i told her she would be coming here!Please?"

Ginny pleaded, giving her friend cinnamon puppy eyes nobody could resist.

"Oh, allright. But I won't forget this when our baby is born!" Hermione said, rubbing her growing stomach.

"I know, neither will I, Hermione, Thank you.You do know I really love you." Ginny gushed.

Hermione took a giggling Amber from her mother and closed the door."Honestly," She said kissing her husband."If those two were any closer I'd swear in front of the minister of magic they were rubber-cemented together."

Half an hour later:

Harry held Ginny's hand as the waiter brought their food to them.

Ginny was glad Harry had reserved a booth in the corner. The waiter couldn't even see Ginny's flaming red hair, much less Harry's scar.

The worst part was who their waiter was: Michael Corner.(a/n: if you don't know who he is, or the Michael/Ginny thing, you are either very dense, or havent read OOTP or HBP.)

When dinner was over, and they were starting on the to-die-for creme brulee, Harry got nervous.

"What's wrong Harry?" Asked Ginny. "Don't you like the creme brulee?"

"Hm? Oh, yeah it's great. Listen GinPin, I really need to ask you something."

He started to feel sweat rolling down his back.

"OK, what's wrong, love?" Ginny put down her fork.

"Well," He began, taking Ginny's hand. "what's wrong is that you and I have been together for two and a half years,and we have an adopted daughter,and, and- I guess I want more. N-not that I don't completely love you!" He said hurridly, seeing the horrified look on his true love's face.

"I really love you. More than words can say. Well, maybe these will do it:"

(a/n: If anyone can guess what's going to happen next, 2000 cookies to you)

"I want you to be with me forever." Tears began to flood their way down both their faces.

"What I'm trying to say is, w-well: Ginerva Molly Weasley, will you make me the happiest and luckiest man alive?

W-will you Marry me?"

Ginny let loose a squeal that made a poor old wizard look concerndly at the roast pig he was about to carve into.

"Ohmygods! Harry! I-I YES! Yes, a million billion Galleons YES!"

She jumped up and ran around to give him a big kiss. Before she could pucker up, however, Harry pulled a green velvet box out of his pocket. He opened it and Ginny nearly screamed.

In the box was a silver band, accompaning a large heart-shaped diamond. Around it were the most beautiful emeralds Ginny had never dreamed about. Harry's watery eyes matched them nearly perfectly in color, sparkling in the soft candle-light.

"I love you Ginny."

"I love you Harry."
