Author's Note: Hey everyone! Here's the next chapter and I thank all of my reviewers so so so so so much! Sorry that this chapter is so short, but my brother is forcing me off of the computer! I'll update again soon!
Harry and Ginny stared at Ron and Hermione and Ron and Hermione stared back. The shopkeeper obviously didn't notice the awkwardness between the couples because he was just as cheerful as ever.
"Here's the ring sir! All paid for, and it's a beauty if I do say so myself! One of my finest!" the shopkeeper said to Ron. Ron went up to the man and got the box, told him thanks and he and Hermione ran out of the shop as fast as possible without even saying anything to Harry and Ginny. When Harry and Ginny finally got away from the shop, Ron and Hermione were no where to be found.
"Harry, Ron and Hermione are engaged! Why didn't they say anything?" Ginny asked excitedly.
Harry had been thinking about this himself. "Gin, I think that they might have been engaged before us. If that's true, then I think that they were happy for us and they didn't want to take the spotlight from us, you know?"
Ginny considered this. "Harry, I bet you're right. Ron might be thick, but he's my big brother and Hermione is practically my sister, and their both your best friends so if they were engaged they wouldn't want their engagement to get in the way."
Harry and Ginny walked along in silence enjoying the clear night that was settling in. I could get used to this, he thought. By the look on Harry's face it looked as if she was thinking same thing. They decided to stop in and have dinner since they were in Diagon Alley and hadn't eaten since breakfast.
"Harry! I think I figured something out!" Ginny exclaimed suddenly. Harry almost spilled his soup on himself because of her sudden outburst.
"Geez Gin! What did you figure out that is worth screaming over?" Harry asked while trying to think of a spell to clear the puddle of soup on the table.
"I know when Ron proposed!"
Harry's head snapped up. He forgot about the soup and was immediately interested in what Ginny was saying. He motioned for her to go on.
"I'm pretty sure that he proposed the night they found Hermione. They went off for a walk and they were gone for a while. When Hermione came into my room later, It looked like she had been crying, but she was smiling bigger than I had ever seen! And that must be the reason that Mum was practically skipping around the next day, hugging Ron and Hermione every time she saw them! I just assumed that she was happy that they were together, but she was going a little over the top. But now it all fits!" Ginny smiled smugly, obviously proud that she was the one who figured it out.
"Ginny you're probably right. What a shock!" Harry said teasingly. Ginny scowled and flicked a piece of food at him. This led to a playful food fight that was watched with amusement by all the other diners.
A/N: Once again, sorry that this chapter was so short, but I'll try to update this weekend. Please Review!
