She looked at him just waiting for him to begin. He took a deep breath and finally said,
"Ginny I have missed you like crazy for the past, well nearly a year."
"I've missed you just the same," she said.
"It was because of you that I had the strength to defeat Voldemort and come home back to you," he said.
"I'm happy that you're home safe," she said.
"While I was away I made a promise to myself," he said.
"What was it," she asked.
"I promised that when I came back I would do something," he said.
"What is it," she asked.
She noticed that he was becoming nervous. She was curious about where this conversation was heading.
"Are you nervous about anything," she asked.
"No…um…so Ginny have you ever thought about what your wedding would be like," he asked.
"A lot of times. I would always be in a flowing white dress and my entire family would be there to watch. Are you wondering who the groom was," she asked.
"Well I have an idea," he began.
"If you are thinking of you then you are correct," she said.
"Ha! I knew it," he said.
"Why are you asking me about what my dream wedding was about," she asked.
Harry started to shift uncomfortably and looking around the entire room. When he heard her softly say his name he looked down at her and knew it was know or never. He took a deep breath and said,
"Ginny, you gave me the strength when I needed it the most and I am grateful for that. You were there for me during the good and the bad and I have just one question for you."
"Yes, what is that," she asked slowly.
"Well, let me get up for a moment and I will ask you," he said.
"All right," she said.
When he got up from the couch he went over to where he had left his stuff from the previous night. He reached inside his bag and pulled out a small black box. He turned around and quickly slid it into his pocket. He walked back over and then pulled out the black box. Ginny's eyes widened in shock as he began to get down on one knee, and she began to cry again.
"Ginny, I don't know what I would without you in my life, and I don't want to find out. Would you do me the honor of becoming my wife," he asked.
"Yes, I would have it no other way," she said.
"Oh Ginny, you've just made me the happiest person in the world," he said.
"Then I'm the second happiest person in the world," she said softly.
He opened up the box and revealed to her a gold band with a single diamond in the middle with two emeralds on the side. She looked at him with amazement and said,
"Harry this ring is beautiful!"
"I'm glad you like it," he said.
"I don't like it Harry, I love it," she said.
He began to stand up but Ginny grabbed his hands and pulled him towards her. She moved over a little on the couch and made room for Harry. He pulled her closer and said,
"Don't you want to put the ring on?"
She nodded quickly and pulled him into a hug. Just as she began to pull away he pulled her closer again and gave her a swift kiss. She didn't let him escape so easily when he pulled away and pulled him back for another one. When they broke apart she settled comfortably into his arms and asked,
"So when is the wedding going to be?"
"I'm not sure. But let's do it either before or after Ron's wedding," he
said.
She nodded in agreement and began to get up when he pulled her back into his arms. She smiled at him when he did this and said,
"Harry I want to go tell Hermione and Ron."
"You can here in a minute," he replied.
She began to protest but was quickly cut off by his lips. When they broke apart again she smiled and said,
"Hermione and Ron can wait. Let's go tell my parents first."
"All right we can do that," he said slowly.
"I'll leave a note here for Ron and Hermione," she said.
Harry nodded his head and felt a rush of nervousness rush back. He was contemplating how Mr. and Mrs. Weasley's reaction would be. Due to the fact that Ginny was their only daughter he knew that he better take good care of her. But he never imagined him hurting her in anyway so he knew he was safe.
"I wrote the note, now let's go," Ginny said.
"All right, let's go to the Burrow," he said.
They walked outside of the Commons and found a crowd of people waiting to see him. He walked thorough the crowd and eventually made it to the Owlry. He wrote a quick note to Lupin about the proposal and the answer. He turned around and smiled at his fiancé in the sun. He took her hand and let up to the Astronomy Tower. They got on his broom and promptly flew to the Burrow. As they flew over the many small towns that was between Hogwarts and the Burrow he noticed that Ginny kept twisting the ring on her finger. He reached in up and took her hand and whispered in her ear,
"I take it that you love it?"
"Oh yes, very much," she said.
As they began their descent towards the Burrow he felt the nervousness inside him return. As soon as Ginny got off the broom and went through the door he thought, 'It's now or never. Lord give me strength to do this.' He took a deep breath and stepped through the door. As soon as he walked through the door he immediately saw Mr. and Mrs. Weasley sitting at the table. He gave them a weak smile and sat down. He closed his eyes for a moment and gathered his thoughts. Ginny knew he was nervous and sat down next to him and took his hand. She gave it a quick reassuring squeeze. He opened his eyes and smiled at her and then prepared himself for hopefully a joyful response from the Weasleys.
Okay everyone here is an update. I'm pretty sure that I am close to ending this one. But don't worry I've already got another idea for another one. =)
