As Harry and Ginny smiled at each other nervously, the silence continued. It seemed as if it would never end. Harry was really getting worried. Will they say we can't get married? No, they wouldn't say that. Would they?

Finally, Hermione broke the silence with a girlish squeal. Ginny's nervousness must have melted away, because she squealed too. Hermione and Ginny ran to one another and hugged, squealed again, and then they started talking in fast whispers. That was one thing Harry (or Ron) had never understood. Girl talk. They always talked about absolutely anything. I'll have to get used to it now, Harry thought. After about a minute, Tonks squealed as well and ran over to join their whispering. Harry had to suppress a laugh when he saw the look of horror on Lupin's face.

While the girls were still talking in the corner, Harry realized that no one else was going to say anything, so he walked over to Ron.

"Well, are you going to say anything?" he asked him.

Ron looked at Harry with his brow furrowed. Harry knew that Ron was doing some serious thinking and this happened very rarely when they weren't even in school. Ron looked at Harry for a minute longer and then said, "Do you love her, Harry?"

"'Course I do. I love her with all my heart and now that Voldemort's gone, (Harry noticed that Ron flinched at the mention of the name) I don't have to hide her anymore. And when she came into the hospital room, I finally realized that I wanted this more than anything."

Ron took this all in for a minute. Harry wasn't sure if Ron was going to hit him or if he was going to congratulate him. It was obvious that Ron was having trouble deciding as well. He was looking around and then his eyes found Hermione, who was still whispering excitedly with Ginny and Tonks. Harry saw the smile that crossed Ron's face as he looked at her.

"Well Harry, I guess if Hermione can be so bloody happy about it, so can I. Congratulations mate!" Ron gave Harry a firm clap on the shoulder and smiled at him, but then his face grew serious again. "Harry, if you hurt her, I swear that I will kill you."

Harry smiled. "Ron, I'm marrying Ginny, remember? If I ever did hurt her, which I won't, she would kill me first!"

They both laughed and then they went over to Mr. and Mrs. Weasley. Harry wasn't sure what they were going to say and quite frankly, he was scared. Mr. Weasley looked like he was in a trance, but Mrs. Weasley saw them walking over. Her eyes met Harry's and she ran over to him.

"Oh Harry dear, now you really will be my son, won't you?"

Harry was shocked. It wasn't that he wasn't thrilled because Mrs. Weasley had taken the news so well, because he was thrilled through the roof! It was just that he wasn't even expecting anything close to this reaction. When Mrs. Weasley pulled away, she dabbed her eyes.

"Harry, are you sure that this is what the both of you want?" she asked anxiously. Harry couldn't help but notice that she sounded a bit hopeful.

"Mrs. Weasley, I've never wanted anything more. And as far as I can tell, this is what Ginny wants too," he said. Mrs. Weasley beamed at him. She grabbed Harry and this time Ron too, in another hug. She held on to them until Ron said that he couldn't breathe. When she let go, Harry saw Mr. Weasley coming over to them. Harry tried to tell what his facial expression was, but it was unreadable.

"Harry," he started, "I know that you love my daughter, so I give you my best wishes. I can't say that I wasn't shocked, but I'm happy for you both all the same." Mr. Weasley smiled at him. Harry felt a warm surge all through his body. Everything was alright with the Weasleys. Oh wait, he thought, I still haven't talked to the rest of Ginny's brothers. Harry decided that he would talk to them last.

Harry walked over to where Remus Lupin was sitting. Lupin looked over at him when he sat down. "Harry, I will hold this against you for a very long time," he said. Harry was shocked. Of all people, he thought that Lupin would be happy for him. Lupin must have seen the look on Harry's face, because he quickly added, "No, Harry, I'm not holding it against you that you and Ginny are getting married. I'm quite happy for you." Then Lupin pointed at the girls, who were still whispering together. "You see that, Harry? That is my girlfriend over there. Now that you've proposed to Ginny, that has put the idea of marriage in Tonks' head. That's all I'm going to hear about now," he paused and rubbed his eyes, "Now that is what I hold against you, Harry. You've put the marriage idea into Tonks' head! Not that I don't want to marry her someday, because I really truly do, but now's not the right time. I'm sure that Ron is going to be thrilled with you as well. Hermione is Ginny's best friend, so that is all Ron is going to hear about now." After Lupin finished giving his speech, he put his head back against the wall and closed his eyes. Harry laughed.

"Actually, Remus, I'm surprised that I proposed before Ron did. Ginny figures that he was going to soon."

Lupin's head came off the wall at this. "Oh no, no, no, no. If Ron and Hermione get engaged too, then I'll be the only boyfriend of that group of girls over there who hasn't proposed!" Then Lupin put his head back against the wall again and this time showed no attempts of moving.

Harry made his way over to speak to Hagrid who was blowing his nose on a dirty polka dot handkerchief. It sounded a great deal like a foghorn to Harry. Hagrid noticed Harry standing there and clapped him on the shoulder (Hagrid didn't notice Harry's knees buckle).

"You and Ginny gettin' married! You two remind me so much of yer mum and dad, 'Arry. Couldn't have been a better pair then, couldn't be now." Hagrid's small eyes gleamed with happiness. Harry talked to Hagrid for another few minutes and then he slowly dragged his feet over to Bill, Charlie, Fred, and George. Harry's feet suddenly felt like lead. They're going to kill me, he thought silently.

Harry was partially wrong. When he got over there, all of them gave him menacing glares. Fred and George were the first ones to speak.

"So…" started Fred

"Harry…" George followed up Fred's comment. Then they continued to go back and forth.

"It seems as if you have proposed to our baby sister."

"It also appears that she has said yes."

"If you hurt her…"

"Then we will hurt you."

They glared at Harry for another moment while Bill and Charlie nodded in agreement. Then Fred and George's faces broke out in broad grins that were all too familiar.

"What are you two thinking about now?" Harry asked suspiciously.

"Well, Harry my boy; we just want to know…"

"Where's the bachelor party going to be!" they chorused.

Harry turned blood red and was about to say something when Ginny marched up behind them and hit them both hard in the head with surprising strength.

"OWWWWWW!"

Ginny seemed satisfied with her work, so she walked back over to Hermione and Tonks.
