Chapter 3-Wild Angels

The day that followed Harry's return was a glorious one. Ginny hadn't been happier in months. Harry was home and he wasn't leaving again, well not for fighting Voldemort anyway. He was there to stay.

"Harry...please sit down..." Mrs. Weasley fussed around him trying to get him to rest.

"Mrs. Weasley...I've been sitting since I got home. Please..I'm fine." Harry chuckled. Mrs. Weasley sighed and shook her head.

It was almost noon and Ginny had been gazing up at him and smiling all day. She was taking everyone of his quirks. He was hers...she knew that now and nothing could take him away. She didn't have Voldemort to compete with anymore, he wasn't going to pop out of nowhere and take Harry away. Ginny smiled at the thought. Harry looked down at her and raised his eyesbrows in confusion.

"What?" he questioned.

Ginny smiled brighter. "Nothing...I was just thinking." Harry chuckled.

"What about this time?" he asked with a grin. He knows me too well... she thought.She just grinned and went to help her mom with lunch. I'll keep him in suspense...

Harry juststood and stared at Ginny's small figure walk into the kitchen. Huh...wonder what that was about...oh well now where's Authur?

Mr. Weasley was in the garden trying to figure out how to work a lawnmower.

"Uhhhh...Mr. Weasley?" Harry approached him.

"Oh! Harry yes what is it?" He was still staring at the mower trying to find the "on" button. Harry cleared his throat and tapped Mr. Weasley on the shoulder.

"Can we talk?" he asked timidly. Aurthur looked confused but nodded his head and they went to the garden shed.

An hour later Harry and Mr. Weasley came in to find a late lunch being set up. They sat at the table just as Ginny and Hermione (who was there by Ron's invitation of course but that's another story) came in and was seated. Harry smiled at Ginny. She looked exhusted but beautiful all the same. Harry just smiled to himself but caught Mr. Weasley smiling as well, but Harry just shook his head and mouthed 'not now'. Mr. Weasley just nodded and filled his plate with food.

Later that afternoon, just as the sun was setting, Harry led Ginny down to the garden, to the bench where the had sat before Harry went to war. Ginny knew something was up, she just hadn't figured out what yet.

When they had taken their seats Harry began...

"Ginny, we've been through so much together. We've faced Voldemort so many times it's hard to keep count. When I first met you, I thought you were an interesting person but as I got to know you I, slowly but surely,fell in love with you. Ginny Weasley I love you..." he got down on one knee,"will you be my wife?" He pulled a black box out of his pocket and presented it to her.

Ginny was shaking. She was so overwhelmed. She took the box from his hands and opened it slowly. The lid was removed and a white-gold diamond ring was revealed. "Oh Harry!" she breathed. Harry smiled slightly at her amazement. "Yes I Harry I will."she cried and flung her arms around him, both laughing and praying this wasn't all a dream.

They sat in an embracment until is was pitch black and they couldn't see a thing. They slowly made their way inside and crept up the stairs but they didn't get past Mr. and Mrs. Weasley's door without being heard.

"Ginny...Harry?" Mr.Weasley whispered out of the doorway.

"Dad?" Ginny whispered,"Daddy come here..." He stepped out of the room and walked into Ginny's room so they wouldn't wake anyone. "Daddy...ummmm...will you give me away?" she asked and held up the ring on her finger. Mr.Weasley began to cry softly and nodded at his daughter and pulled her close. They embraced for a moment, then Mr. Weasley straighten up and walked over to Harry.

"Welcome to the family son." he smiled. Harry stuck his hand out but Mr.Weasley just put his arms around him and patted him on the back a few times. Harry smiled he was in a family. For the first time in his life he was apart of his family.

Mr.Weaslay left the room and went back to bed. Harry kissed Ginny and crept up the stairs to Ron's room. He got undressed and lay down thinking of just what a wonderful day it had been and this was only the beginning...

Bewteen the perfect world and the bottom line
Keeping love alive in these troubled times
It's a mircle in itself
And we know too well what that's about
Still we made it through, only God knows how
We must've had a little help
(Must've been)

Wild Angels, Wild Angels
Watching over you and me
Wild Angels, Wild Angels
Baby what could it be

Well it must've been hard, it must've been tough
Keeping up with crazy fools like us
'Cause it's so easy to fall apart
And we still break each other's heart sometimes
Spent some nights on the jagged side
Somehow we wake up in each other's arms
(Must've been)

Wild Angels, Wild Angels
Watching over you and me
Wild Angels, Wild Angels
Baby what could it be

There are some nights
I watch you while you dream
I swear I hear the sound of beating wings

Wild Angels, Wild Angels
Watching over you and me
Wild Angels, Wild Angels
Baby what could it be
