The Promise

"Ginny," Harry murmured pulling the little crushed velvet box out of his jacket pocket. "I love you more then the world can ever know. I was in the dark, with no way out until I met you. You made my heart stop, you made me fell things I had never felt before, and that was all the way back in second year. I was faced with many challenges every year that no other witch or wizard has had to deal with, but you made it easier to laugh with all the times we teased Ron, and just in general. I never realized it but I developed a bit of a crush on you, Then less then a year ago Ron and I caught you snogging Dean in a corridor and I wanted to jinx him into jelly for even touching you with one of his grubby little fingers. But then I thought it was natural, I mean hadn't you become like a little sister to me? Obviously not. Suddenly when I was about to fall asleep an image came into my mind of me snogging you in that exact same corridor. I never told you because I didn't want to lay my heart on the line to have the possibility of having it crushed so for a while I dealt with just admiring from a far. Then one fateful day after that Qudditch match it was not enough so I kissed you right then and there, I didn't care what people would think, I just cared about you. So after dating you for a while I realized that I am ready to make a bit more of a commitment to you. Ginny," he said opening the little box. "This is called a promise ring and it comes with a promise. A promise to someday be engaged," he stole a kiss. "A promise to always take care of you," he stole another kiss. "And a promise to never break your heart again, so do you accept?"

Ginny smirked, rolled her eyes, and gave him a long deep kiss as a response.

"I'll just take that as a 'yes,'" Harry smiled as he slipped the ring onto her finger then pulled her into a hug.

Suddenly the two got reawaken to the presence of their families. They looked around the room and saw that all of the women had tears in their eyes and that everyone was beaming. Ron was happy for his best mate and his little sister and he knew that Harry would keep his promise, as did everyone else in the room. They all congratulated the pair and then sat down around the enlarged kitchen table. Ginny slipped onto Harry's lap and Harry curled his arms around her slim waist. They sat there comfortably for a while until Harry suddenly had an extraordinary idea. He nudged Ginny off him and she gave him a questioning look to which he gave a look that clearly said 'trust me.' Harry got up and said, "Well this day has been rather exhausting so I think I'm going to turn in." He then yawned and winked at Ginny before he left the kitchen.

After a few moments Ginny got up and said goodnight, then followed Harry out of the kitchen.

"Took you long enough," Harry chuckled from his spot on the foot of the stairs.

"Well I was trying not to give us away, 'cuz you see, I know for a fact that you aren't tired at all… at least not yet."

"What are you thinking Gin?"

"Oh just a little of this," she said then she kissed him lightly. "And a little of that," she continued as she squeezed his butt hard making him jump.

She laughed then looked down and noticed a bulge in his pants, "I seem to be having a bit of an effect on you don't I?" she laughed.

Harry, who didn't realize this, blushed very lightly, "You, Ginny Weasley, have earned yourself a trip to my room," he laughed; lifting her up with his well toned arms and carried her up the crooked stairs. When they reached the right landing Harry kicked open the door and carried Ginny over to his bed where he set her down very carefully.

Three hours later Harry woke up to see their cloths strewn about the floor. As the memories of the previous hours washed over him he couldn't help but smile. He looked to his left and saw Ginny lying there peacefully. Harry kissed her lightly, making sure not to wake her then he looked over at the clock, it was midnight.

He then engulfed Ginny into his arms then fell back into a dream filled slumber. When he awoke again it was 7 am. He gently nudged Ginny awake and after apologizing for waking her up so early he said, "We should head downstairs for breakfast seeing as everyone thinks we went to bed at nine last night."

Ginny saw the logic in this so she put on some pajamas so she was decent enough to go downstairs. After Harry did the same they walked downstairs hand-in-hand. When they reached the kitchen they were amazed by the sight that met their eyes.
