The Quest and the Quest for Help

When they appeared Harry, Ron, Hermione, and Ginny were all extremely confused for they were in number twelve Grimuld Place.

"Um, Albus? Are you sure this is the place?" Harry asked.

"Quite sure," Dumbledore said with a twinkle in his eyes. With that he walked over to what was once Kreature's den and everyone saw it. Harry recognized it at once as Slythern's locket and the locket they found when they were making this house fit for humans to live in. Apparently Kreature had smuggled it out of one of the garbage sacks. Dumbledore picked it up, examined it, and then muttered a curse and it was destroyed. "Now," Dumbledore said "all that remains is the snake, Nigini, and Voldemort himself…but those two will take the longest, and Harry I suggest you take some lessons with me five days a week at Godric's Hollow."

Harry nodded then said, "Well, should we get back to Remus and Molly? Molly should still be there waiting and I want to say goodbye to Remus and talk to him for a bit."

"Right you are Harry," Dumbledore said and with that Ginny grabbed Harry's arm, they all turned, and appeared in Lupin's ward.

Right when they got back Harry turned to Lupin and said "Remus? Could I talk to u in the corridor for a second?"

"Of course you can Harry."

"Thank you."

They walked out into the hall and Harry began, "well you know how I am dating Ginny?" and Lupin nodded. "Well," Harry continued, "I was thinking about asking her to marry me but I don't know how or when, all I know is that I love her with all my heart and that I already have the ring." He showed the ring to Lupin, it was a beautiful two carrot emerald with two half carrot diamonds flanking the emerald. The metal was pure gold and it gleamed in the light.

"Harry it's an amazing ring! Ginny will love it."

"I know she will…she'll love it even more because it's from me but I still don't know what to say or when to say it."

"Here is my advice to you Harry, first of all, do it when it feels right to you, when it feels right to you it will feel right for Ginny. Second say what your heart tells you to say. Imagine that you were going to ask her tonight. What would you say?"

Harry thought for a moment then said, "I would tell her that I loved her with all my being and I want to be with her forever."

Lupin smiled. He remembered James asking him the same type of questions before he proposed to Lilly.

"Well thank you Remus, you helped a lot," then Harry went back into the ward and pulled Ron into the hallway (Hermione at his side), and told Ginny to stay in the ward with Remus and Molly.

"Look Ron, I am in love with your sister…" he began

"Well I know that mate," Ron said cutting him off.

"Please let me finish. I…I…" Harry began but it was much harder to tell Ron then it was to tell Lupin. "I am going to propose to her," Harry said breathlessly. "Not right away," he added seeing Ron's death glare, "but soon. Look," he showed the ring to Ron and Hermione and Hermione squealed in delight.

"Oh Harry! She'll love it!" she said hugging him. Ron just stood there, unable to say a thing, just staring from the ring, to Harry, and back to the ring.

Then Harry asked, "So do you mind Ron? I know she is your sister and everything so I want you to be fine with it first."

"I guess," Ron said in an unnaturally high voice.

Harry sighed in relief. As long as his friends were fine with it nothing else mattered.

"But make," Ron said, "let's finish Voldemort and have our seventh year first"

"Oh alright," Harry agreed (Ron and Hermione had finally convinced him to go back to school once Voldemort was dead)

Just then Ginny poked her head out and Harry quickly stashed the ring. "Are you three coming or not?" she asked extremely annoyed.

Harry smiled, walked over, kissed her, and said "Of course we are Gin just hold on another minuet. I need to ask these two one more thing."

"Alright, well hurry up, it's getting rather boring with only mum, Remus, and Dumbledore," Ginny said then she turned around and walked back into the ward.

"Well," Harry said turning to his two best friends, "the last thing is that I am wondering weather or not to give her a promise ring first or just wait another year with no real commitment to her."

"Oh Harry, I am sure Ginny will be thrilled either way, but being another woman and all the thought of a promise ring is better then nothing at all," Hermione said.

"Thanks Hermione," Harry said gratefully, "Hea do you think that we could go to Diagon Alley to try to find one?"

"Sure mate," Ron said, "That's a great idea." With that they all went back into the ward to find the adults chatting merrily and Ginny sitting there with a disgruntled look on her face.

"Took you lot long enough," she said, "What were you talking about anyway?"

"Oh Ginny," Harry said playfully, "Do you really want to ruin the surprise?"

"Well that depends," she replied. "Will I like this surprise?"

"You'll love it as much as you love me," Harry answered.

"Not that much then I suppose," Ginny laughed.

"Well," Dumbledore said to the room, "I think I should be off, Harry I will send you an owl with the date of our first lesson," then he dissaperated.

"We better get going as well Remus," Molly said, "You still need your rest, come on kids."

So then after saying goodbye to Lupin Ginny grabbed Harry's arm again and, within moments, they appeared in the Weasley's kitchen.
