Missing Chapter: The Engagement Ring
Ginny and Harry appeared the next morning in the Burrow. Mrs. Weasley was throwing a breakfast for the whole family. When they entered the kitchen the whole family was already present. Fred and Luna were sitting at the far end, their heads bent, talking quietly about something. Hermione and George were laughing quietly at something Hermione held in her hands. Ron was talking to his father about something. Charlie and his girlfriend, Danielle, were talking to each other, smiling secret smiles. Bill and Fleur were talking animatedly, probably discussing their wedding. Percy had moved to talk to his father and brother, while Penelope was helping Mrs. Weasley.
To their surprise Sirius and Anne were there as well talking to Remus and Tonks. Fleur was the first to spot the young couple. No one really knew that Harry was planning to ask besides Penelope and Percy, who had 'accidentally' forgotten to mention it to the rest of the family.
As Fleur got closer to come say hi she gasped, drawing the attention of the rest of the Weasley family.
"It's absolutely gorgeous!" Fleur practically cried out, a hint of jealously and envy in her voice. She took Ginny's hand, almost pulling the younger girl off her feet. "You didn't tell us you were going to propose!" Fleur said as she turned to glare at Harry, who only grinned.
Ginny turned to smile at him. At hearing Fleur's announcement the rest of the women were out of their chairs and crowding around Ginny, pushing Harry out of the way.
"It's beautiful," Hermione said envious of the younger girl beside her.
"Oh this is amazing! Where did you get this Harry?" Tonks asked over her shoulder.
"It's so spectacular. Just look at the jewels on it," Penelope said lightly.
"This must have cost a fortune," Danielle said as she joined the rest of the members of the family.
"It must have," Luna agreed with the older woman.
"It's absolutely amazing," Mrs. Weasley chimed in.
Harry, laughing, took one of the two empty seats at the table. Mr. Weasley clapped him on the shoulder. "Why did you ask so early?"
"I felt it would be better to do it now, who knows how much time we will get together when school starts."
We better get time together, Ginny told him quietly.
I promise we will love; I want as much time with you as possible. This brought a smile to Ginny's face as she turned back to answering the questions that were coming towards her.
"Nice job Harry, now they will all want rings like hers," Fred said, in a fake annoyed voice.
"Yes Harry, setting us up like that, what were you thinking?" George added in.
"I hope I won't have to buy a new ring for Fleur," Bill said as he shook his head.
"They are going to want something that nice," Percy said annoyed.
"You bet we will," Luna, Hermione, Penelope, Tonks, and Danielle said together. Causing the other women in the room to laugh and Harry to grin.
"Why didn't you tell us you were going to ask her?" Mrs. Weasley asked.
"Well Percy and Penelope knew, I figured they would have told you," Harry said with a shrug.
"Percy!" Ron, Fred, George, Bill, and Charlie said together.
Percy laughed into the back of his hand. "I thought it would be nice to let them surprise everyone."
"We shouldn't have-" Fred started.
"-brought them here," George finished.
"How much did that cost?" Fleur asked as she took her seat beside Bill.
"Not sure, it was my Mum's engagement ring. I found it in the vault. Hermione helped me pick it."
"It was so beautiful, I thought Ginny would like it," Hermione told them as she took her seat beside George.
"I love it," Ginny said as she sat beside Harry, kissing him quickly on the lips.
Lily and Karen, who had been sleeping, now came into the room, bouncing happily on their feet. They had known about the engagement ring and were positively ecstatic at the prospect of Ginny being their mother. They ran over to where Ginny sat and hugged the older girl, who laughed as she hugged them back.
Mrs. Weasley, Danielle, Fleur, and Penelope watched Ginny with small smiles on their faces. Ginny had a way with children and those two had taken a liking to her almost instantly.
Talk continued on as the girls kept asking questions about the ring and how Harry had proposed.
"Then he pulled me to my feet and said that he knew we were still young but he wanted to ask now. He told me there was no one better than me and no one he would ever want besides me," Ginny finished with a grin, while Harry looked down, slightly embarrassed.
"Awwww," the women said together while the men rolled their eyes.
Ginny leaned over towards Harry, wrapping her arms around his neck. I love you.
Love you too Gin. He said as he smiled up at her, meeting her brown eyes.
She smiled as well, lightly kissing him before resting her forehead against his. It was really romantic Harry and I couldn't think of a better way for you to propose to me.
I'm glad you loved it then. Just wait till we actually have the wedding.
She laughed softly. As long as I am walking down the aisle to you, I don't care if it was in Hogwarts Great Hall as long as it is with you.
And it will only be me; I'm not partial to sharing.
Me either. Ginny put in. Besides I don't feel like giving you up for anything.
I'm glad and I would never give you up. You are my world, my everything, my life, my fiancé, and my soul mate.
As are you to me. Ginny rested her hand on his cheeks, her eyes bright with emotion. To her there was nothing better in the world then staring into Harry's green eyes and seeing the love and devotion in his eyes that he held for only her.
A/N: The missing scene that all of you have been DYING to read. I know its short, only barely got to two pages but the scene wasn't going to be that long to begin with. I just wanted all the family to know. As you can tell they were pretty happy, knowing it was going to happen to begin with. So ta da! The chapter, then I will pick up from where I left off and continue the story. Ch. 15 is off at the betas right now and sixteen is being worked on.
