All Alone

Disclaimer: I don't own Harry Potter. cries hysterically

A/N: This chapter is really lame. God. I hate it. But I couldn't end it where it was because it wouldn't have made sense. I think I'm only going to have one more chapter, and then I'll be through.

The next few days were full of excitement and well…Harry.

Harry went to the Minister the day after Christmas. He spent all day up there answering questions and such. An article on his return appeared in the Evening Prophet.

He came home late that night. I greeted him with a kiss and some supper. He told me he was tired, so we took everything upstairs.

Mom had conjured up a bed and stuck it next to mine in my room so Harry could stay with me. My parents seemed to trust me enough to let me stay in the same room as my boyfriend. I know what you're thinking, but honestly people…I'm more mature than that!

Harry and I exchanged days while he ate. Neither of them were very fun—he talked a lot and Mom made me clean—but we were both really happy for it to be over.

We were silent for a while, lots in our thoughts.

"Ginny?" Harry looked at me.

"Yes?"

"I have to ask you something."

"Well by all means, ask away."

Harry moved so he could grab my hand. "Will you marry me?"

I gaped at him. "What?"

"Ginny, I love you. I always will. And now that the war is over and everyone's safe and everything's in order, I want nothing more that to be with you. Forever," Harry said.

I began to cry. "Oh Harry!"

He wrapped his arms around me and I sat there crying while he silently comforted me. His body was tense and I knew that he thought I didn't want to marry him.

"I'm sorry, Harry. I didn't mean to start crying. I was just so shocked and surprised and excited and…" I couldn't find a word to describe exactly how I felt.

Harry grinned. "I understand."

I kissed his cheek and said, "I'd love to marry you."

His grin grew. "Wonderful." He kissed me passionately. "I don't have a ring or anything, but whenever you want, we can go into town and I'll buy you your favorite one."

I smiled.
