Chapter 35

Ginny sighed and opened her eyes to find herself at home in her own bed. She was finally back at home. Her family had finally gotten over her rape and now she was with them comfortable. Of course this meant that she wasn't living with Harry anymore but she thought that was best since they both knew of each others love by then. She wanted to take her time with Harry and make everything right.

She stood up from bed and got ready for George's wedding. He was going to marry Alicia on a hill a few miles away. Ginny smiled a little, happy for her brother, only a little jealous.

She dressed in a red dress that fit her figure nicely showing off her arms and legs and curves. She wore some dangly earrings and curled her hair around her face. She wore high heels as usually, making her look taller than ever. She was very short and didn't like that about herself.

She put dark red lipstick on and stepped out of her bedroom to find the family in a chaos. Her father was trying to tie his bow tie and her mother was ironing Bill, and Charlie's shirts as they sat at the table with their ties around their necks with orange hair on their chests. Ginny giggled and put her arms aroun their necks to give them each a silly kiss on the cheek.

"Ginny, when are you getting married?" Charlie teased making a face at her.

"Oh, probably never, I'll be an old maid." She giggled as she pulled an orange from the bowl in the middle of the table.

"I predict by this time next year," Mrs. Weasley stopped her ironing to grin, "that our Ginny will be married and pregnant,"

"Mum!" Ginny scolded, not believing that that in any way could be true.

Bill laughed, "I agree Mum..."

"Well , I predict that Bill and Fleur will be married within 6 months." Ginny grinned and poked Bill.

Bill grinned, "I think that's about right,"

Charlie laughed a little and but looked a little jealous and he stood up to get his shirt from Molly.

"My children will all be married soon," Molly giggled.

"Mum, we need to leave, we're going to be late," Charlie moaned and pulled his shirt on to button it and tuck his tie under his collar.

"Alright, alright, Charles," she rolled her eyes at him and straightened her dark purple dress. She finally looked over to Arthur and saw him fumbling with his tie and she smiled a little, "Here, Arthur dear, let me help you,"

Ginny smiled simply and watched as they looked lovingly at each other. She wanted a marriage like her parents, where love controlled everything they did.

"Let's go!" Charlie angrily said and walked out of the back door letting it slam after him.

"Come now Charlie, don't be such a ninny," Ginny called after him as she followed outside with Bill trailing behind her.

Ginny shifted her feet and slowly looked up to see Harry watching her with interest in his eyes. He looked nice. Recently he'd been trying to gain weight and had already gained 12 pounds. (Molly was extremely happy about that.) His hair was trimmed up a bit but still long enough to hang over his eyes. He was wearing a nice black suit to show his trim waist. His dark green eyes were piercing and looked right into brown ones.

She smiled a little gently and tried to look away at George and Alicia, exchanging vows.

Ginny's loosely curly hair blew in the wind as her eyes locked with Harry's again. She sighed as he felt his love for her. "I love you..." he mouthed the words to her and she mouthed them back to him.

Harry wanted to touch her, to hold her hand and kiss her but he couldn't so he shoved his hands deep into his jacket pockets.

George and Alicia kissed and then Ginny could hear someone say... "I now present Mr. and Mrs. George Weasley," everyone clapped and Ginny forced herself to join in, even though Harry's hands remained in his pockets and his eyes on her.

Ginny sat at the little table with her feet propped on the chair next to her. Her feet didn't like wearing high heels even though she wore them very often. But she never complained about the pain and little blisters because it was her choice to wear the cute little shoes rather than flats.

She sighed and watched as people stood in line piling little sandwhichs and strawberries onto the little white plates. People waved to her as they passed or even stopped to tell her how much she had grown since they'd last seen her. She would just smile at them and nod.

Ginny sipped her punch and watched as George and Alicia stepped out onto the dance floor to dance their first dance. She just kept watching them as they held each other closely, looking into each others eyes lovingly. Then the next dance started and Ron and Hermione with her very large and 8 and a half month belly began to dance along with Alicia's parents, Arthur and Molly, Fred and Angelina, Bill and Fleur, and finally Remus and Nymphadora (who had recently gotten engaged).

"I believe I owe you at least two dances," Harry whispered into her ear and she smiled a little.

"I think you owe me a lot more than that," she stood, took his hand, and he led her onto the dance floor. She felt something in her stomach flutter as he pulled her close, his one hand on her waist and the other in her right hand.

"You look beautiful," he said simply his voice quiet and low. She blushed and shifted her hand on his shoulder. "Fred, George, and Ron all married... who would have thought?" he laughed a little and Ginny felt the vibration run through his body to hers.

"It's so odd," she smiled a little to, thinking about her crazy brothers married. "We heard from someone the other day that Percy is going to marry Penelope this month,"

Harry laughed again, "Percy... married," then he continued laughing.

She smiled, "I do agree it's hard to see Percy married... but Penelope is a good match for him,"

"Yes," Harry stopped laughing to agree, "They're both horrible,"

"I feel bad for Mum, her own son can't even send a letter or an invitation to his wedding,"

Harry nodded, "I think someday he'll see what an ass he's been, but first, things have to get bad for him, right now he's the ministry's little pet,"

Ginny nodded and snuggled up to his chest, "Let's not talk about him right now,"

Harry moved so his chin was on the top of her head. "What do you want to talk about?" The song ended but they kept dancing just like George and Alicia, Fred and Angelina, and Nymphadora and Remus.

"Have I ever told you that I love how wonderful you smell?" Ginny whispered as she nestled her face into Harry's neck.

Harry's face turned red, "I believe you've mentioned it once or twice,"

"I'm tired of dancing let's go outside," she whispered and let go of him to hold his hand and drag him along the outside of the dance floor and to the balcony in the back. She closed the door after them to leave them alone, standing outside in the dark. "Now will you kiss me?"

Harry almost choked at her words, "What?"

Ginny giggled a little and her face turned a light pink color, "I mean... you haven't kissed me in almost a week and i'm beginning to have withdrawls," she smiled. They'd both been to busy to meet up anywhere for lunch or anything and when they did meet it was usually in public where they would have a quick peck on the lips.

"Alright then..." he mumbled a bit nervously and pulled her close to him and leaned down a bit to meet her lips with his.

When Ginny finally opened her eyes after an intense kiss she saw that they were no longer on the balcony of the reception hall, they were in a dark meadow with candles around.

"Harry!" Ginny cried in fear, only thinking that someone was trying to kill them and they'd been apparated for that reason. She clutched to his arms and tucked her head under his neck in fear.

"Shh... Ginny..." he mumbled against her ear, "everything's alright, don't be afraid..."

She held tightly to him still, "Where are we?" she was calmer after Harry told her that everything was alright but still she was a bit nervous.

"In a meadow... my parents used to go here often... it was their special place..."

Ginny moved her face away from his neck to look around. It was beautiful and the trees were tall and shading. It was dark yet the candles were spread out as if to lead somewhere.

Harry led her along for a ways, following the candles and Ginny held tightly to his hand not letting go for anything. Then finally Ginny saw what was happening, there were rose petals everywhere at the end of the candals. Harry had planned something, something romantic.

The petals looked soft on the dirt ground and Ginny wanted to touch them. Then she saw something, something sparkle in the candle light.

"Wh-What?" she stuttered nervously and didn't look away from the sparkle.

Harry picked up the diamond ring from the rose petals and kneeled down in front of her holding the ring up to Ginny's hand. "Ginny... I... I love you... more than anything..."

Ginny couldn't breath and her hand shook in his.

"I want to be with you... forever..."

She felt herself gasping for air... this couldn't be happening to her. She started crying.

"Ginny... don't cry," he finally said.

She kneeled down with him wanting to look into his eyes. She wiped the tears from her cheeks. "I love you Harry," her voice cracked and the tears flowed heavily.

"Will you marry me?"

"Yes... please... yes... thank you... I love you..." she mumbled incoherant things as she found his lips to kiss him. He slipped the ring onto her finger and pulled her close to hold her, his fiance, his love, his future wife, his everything.
