Finally Potter
Chapter eight
"Harry where are you taking me?"
"Wait and see."
"Oh come on, tell me."
"It's a surprise."
"Harry"
"Ginny"
She couldn't protest anymore as he lopped his arm in hers and led her out of the restaurant. Harry had turned up at her flat that morning and told her they were going for a meal that night, she hadn't had any say and just smiled when they entered the small muggle restaurant.
They had enjoyed a lovely meal together in the privacy that they could only find in the muggle world. She had discovered that whenever they went to a wizard owned place somebody would take their photo or come over and talk to them. That was one of the reasons she loved going to the muggle world with Harry.
Now that they were walking around in the muggle world though she was enjoying herself. The pair were laughing and joking and Ginny spun around as Harry pushed her through the crowds. Nobody stopped to look at them they were just another couple enjoying life, although no muggle understood why they should be just glad to be alive.
Before Ginny realised she found herself on the underground riding the tubes. She grinned as she leaned against Harry as they stood there surrounded by all those people. Harry dragged her off at one of the stops and she looked around.
"Where are we?"
"Close to where we're going."
"But where?"
"Impatient aren't we, can't you wait a few more minutes."
Ginny went to make a face but Harry lifted her up and ran up the out of order escalators she squealed and people looked but Harry carried on running. He dropped her just before the ticket booth so that she could slip her ticket in and get out the other side.
He then led her out onto the main street and Ginny realised where she was, she had stood in this street so many times before. Opposite them was the large muggle train station, Kings Cross Station.
"Harry why did you bring me here?"
"Just a few more minutes Gin, that's all you have to wait."
He took her hand and led her into the station and she looked around as he stopped walking. They had reached the point where platforms nine and ten met and she was totally bewildered by the fact he had brought her here.
"Ginny do you know what this place is?"
"Yeah it's Kings Cross Station."
"No I mean this spot."
"It's right in front of the entrance to platform 9¾."
He grinned at this and nodded happily.
"Ginny you don't remember do you?"
"Remember what?"
"It was ten years ago last month that I first met you, and you were standing right here."
She wrinkled her nose and thought hard. Ten years ago she would have only been ten, the year before she went to Hogwarts and a month ago was September 1st. Her mind was working now it was ten years ago last month that Harry and Ron had started Hogwarts and…
"I was standing here with mum when you came over and asked how to get onto the platform."
"I knew you'd remember. It was this very spot where I first met you."
"So why did you bring me here?"
"I couldn't think of anywhere better to do this."
"Do what?"
To her amazement Harry took her left hand in both his and lowered himself to the floor onto one of his knees. Around them people had begun to look and Harry pulled a small box out of his back pocket.
"Ginny I know that we've been through rough times and that I've put you in more danger than I ever intended to but I love you more than life itself. I know that I would give my life if it meant that you could live. Ginny what I'm trying to say is, will you marry me?"
She bit her lower lip and gazed into his eyes a small smile playing across her lips.
"Yes, Harry oh yes."
He slipped the ring onto her finger and he stood swinging her around him and she kissed him happily as people around clapped happily.
"Weasley, oy Weasley, come on snap out of it."
Ginny shook her head and looked up at Tony. He had his arms folded and looked a bit annoyed.
"Sorry sir I got caught up in that memory."
"It's nearly five o'clock you were suppose to finish an hour ago."
She swung her legs over the table and took to her feet.
"I'll see you on Monday then Tony."
"Yeah that's if you remember you're not working tomorrow Weasley."
"Don't worry I'm taking Harry to look at places for our wedding I won't be back until Monday."
She left the room and made her way to the lifts. She was leaving the ministry within minutes. As she arrived home she looked around her flat and moved to find a change of clothes. Her mind was spinning from one thing to another, from Luna to Neville, to Harry to Hermione and then the prophecy and she knew she had to find out about that.
