Chapter One- Anniversary
A year ago on this very date, March 6, Harry asked me to be his girlfriend. Now, today is our year anniversary. He sent me a card during transfiguration saying:
Dearest Ginny,
My love, it is our anniversary, and I want to do something really special tonight. Follow the rose pedals from your dormitory. Dress nice. But not too nice, I wouldn't want you to feel awkward. I love you. And I can't wait to see you tonight darling. Once again, I love you.
Forever yours,
Harry
As I reached my dormitory, I dressed myself in a nice pink skirt and a white shirt. I looked one last time at the mirror, and finally started to follow the rose pedals. The red and white rose pedals, led me out the castle and to the rock by the lake, where Harry and I first became the best of friends. I found Harry dressed in nice pants and a nice shirt and a tie, sitting on the rock that we wept together on.
" Hi Harry. Happy Anniversary."
Harry turned and smiled. He took me into his arms and embraced me; he then kissed me.
"Happy Anniversary Darling. Here's your present."
He handed me a little box. I opened it slowly, and to my surprise I found the prettiest ring I could lay my eyes on.
" It's a promise ring. I hope that you will wear it every day."
He took hold of the box and slipped the ring onto my right ring finger. I couldn't stop smiling.
" Before I forget to give you your gift, here you go love. Happy Anniversary."
He opened it quickly.
" Ginny you shouldn't have! It's the newest and fastest Quidditch broom."
He embraced me tightly and swung me around. Harry put me down and kissed me continuously.
" Thank you Ginny. Thank you. Thank you!"
" Harry read the engraved lettering."
He looked at the engravement and read:
Happy Anniversary love. I love you.
Harry hugged me once again.
"You're the sweetest Ginny. I love it, but not as much as I love you."
I smiled.
" I love you too."
" Ok. Well, I have something set up. 11:08 is the precise time that we have to be back here. Ok?"
"Alright.Do you have a bed time?"
"No silly."
I didn't understand. 11:08 P.M. …that's late. We rode his new broom to a restaurant and celebrated. As the darkness took over the land we reached the rock once again at 11:05. We sat watching the moon, as 11:07 approached, we rode the night sky on his broom. We stopped in front of the moon, he looked at his watch and said,
"Happy Anniversary Darling. I love you."
He kissed me.
"Happy Anniversary."
We finally decided to turn in for the night. I slept peacefully. How wonderful everything went yesterday. It felt as if I was dreaming.
