This will probably be a shorter story but multiple chapters. Don't worry I won't forget about Georgia Virginia, the girl who helped them all or South Hallway, third door on your right.

Chapter 1 The Start

Harry Potter came down the steps of the Burrow freshly showered and very anxious. Everyone was gathering downstairs for dinner. It was Christmas Eve and the trio was home for Christmas. Two of the remaining Horcruxes were gone and two more needed to be found. It had been six months since Ginny had confronted him at Bill and Fleur's wedding but he remembered it like it was yesterday.

Flashback:

Harry, Ron, Hermione and Ginny were sitting at a small table during the reception. They were silently watching most of the guest dancing on the dance floor, Harry sat idly playing with the butterbeer bottle in his hand. Suddenly Ron puffed up his chest, stood and turned to Hermione.

"Mione would you..er..dance with me?" Ron looked a little sick.

"Sure, Ron." Hermione smiled shyly and Ron beamed as he whisked her away. Harry gave a small smirk at the couple. Ginny put her chin in her hand, elbow leaning on the table and gave a big sigh. Harry heard and turned his head towards her, he noticed she was watching the dancing couples longingly.

"Gin, do you want to dance?" He asked standing.

"Sure!" Ginny's eyes lit up and he couldn't help but smile.

They approached the dance floor as a slow song came on. Harry pulled Ginny up into his arms and she rested her head on his chest. They rocked back and forth to the beat of the song, enjoying the silence and just holding each other.

Suddenly Ginny looked up into Harry's eyes.

"Harry."

"Mmm."

"Look into my eyes, please." Harry sensed the need to do what she asked and so he opened his eyes and locked them with hers.

"Harry I Love you." Ginny said so easily but so sincerely.

"Gin.." Harry's eyes were pained.

"Harry if I don't know that you care, I don't know if I can wait. I've done that for years now and to be honest it's making me sick. I'll wait for you until the end of the world if I know you care. To know that you care, we need to be together. I have watched you lately and I can see how depressed you are, how can you win when your hearts not in it? I understand Harry that I can't go to battle with you, but I'm already in danger, everyone in the world is...but I'll wait at home for you. Just tell me we can be together...now..not when we you win because I don't know if I could handle that."Ginny paused and took a deep breath, waiting for Harry's response. When it didn't come she took another breath, "You know what, forget it Harry. Good Luck. Just don't expect me to be waiting when you come back. Goodbye." Then she turned away and started for the burrow because it was taking everything she had not to let the tears pour.

As she walked away Harry came out of his shock and ran after her, catching up he grabbed her arm and she spun around.

"Gin, I'm afraid."

"Afraid? What's the great Harry Potter possibly afraid of?" Ginny replied with a sarcastic tone and laugh.

"Of losing you." And Harry cupped her face in his hands and kissed her passionately.

"It's a good thing that worked because I don't know if I could let you go that easily." Ginny laughed and Harry pulled her into the biggest hug she had ever had.

End Flashback.

Everyone was in the kitchen waiting while Mrs. Weasley put the final touches on the meal. Finally everyone sat down. Mr. Weasley sat at one end while Mrs. Weasley sat at the other. Everyone else filled in the middle, everyone but Mr. and Mrs. Weasley were sitting next to their wives or girlfriends.

As the meal progressed, everyone became more engrossed in separate conversations. Suddenly Harry pushed back his chair silently to avoid being noticed. He kneeled down on the floor and pulled out a box from his pocket. Ginny was involved in a conversation with Hermione and was startled when Harry grabbed her hand.

"Hey Ginny?" Harry said quietly. He wanted to do this quickly before people would notice him on the ground. Ginny turned around and looked down at Harry.

"Harry..."

"Ginny will you marry me?" Harry asked opening the small box to reveal and large diamond surrounded by smaller ones set on a gold band.

"YES!" Ginny shrieked! This finally caused the crowded and loud room to instantly become quiet. Harry got back in his chair quickly and gave Ginny a long kiss.

"Ginny? Harry?" Mrs. Weasley asked.

"Harry just asked me to marry him!" Ginny exclaimed and suddenly there was a loud uproar from the entire kitchen. Everyone was giving their congratulations and if it was possible the noise in the kitchen was ten times louder than before Ginny's shriek.

Almost loud enough to hide the loud BANG that came from the backyard.
