Mr. Weasley noticed that Harry was looking uncomfortable the minute he walked through the door. He smiled warmly at Harry in hopes of making him feel a little more comfortable. He had no clue why Harry would be nervous in the presence of them because Ginny looked completely content with her life. As he thought about Ginny's happiness it dawned on him why Ginny would be happy and Harry would be nervous. He prepared himself for the news and said,
"Harry it looks as if you are here to tell us something."
"That's right sir," he said slowly.
"All right carry on," he said.
"I've loved Ginny since my 6th year," he began.
He looked over at Ginny and saw her smiling at him and knew that he should continue before he lost his nerve.
"She was my strength during the battle and it is partly because of her that Voldemort is gone," he said.
"I understand that," said Mrs. Weasley.
"Mr. Weasley I am here to ask you one simple question," he said.
"You may," he said knowing that he would soon be losing his only daughter.
"Mr. Weasley, do I have your permission to marry your only daughter?"
"Yes you do," he answered very slowly and softly.
"Thank you, Ginny show them your hand," he said softly.
"Look Mom," she said.
Mrs. Weasley gave a small laugh and let a tear roll down her cheek. She saw the happiness in her daughter's eyes and knew it was all because of Harry. She stood up and said,
"Ginny, I'm so…happy for you, and Harry, welcome to our family.
"Thank you Mrs. Weasley," he replied.
He nodded towards Mr. Weasley and he smiled briefly before excusing himself. Ginny had an idea of where he was going and let him be alone. She smiled at Harry and hinted towards him that she wanted to go outside. As soon as they got outside she wrapped her arms around him and said,
"That went well."
"Yes it did. Where do you want to go now," he asked.
"Let's go back to the commons," she said.
She quickly gave him a kiss and looked down admiringly at her ring. She smiled and nodded her head letting him know that she was ready to head back to Hogwarts. He got out his broom once more and they were on their way again back to Hogwarts. Little did they notice Mr. Weasley watching from an upstairs window. He felt a single tear fall from his eye when he realized that he was losing his only daughter. A noise startled him and he turned around to find Molly standing there staring at him.
"Don't be sad Arthur," she said softly.
"I'm not sad I'm happy for her it's just that…," he said.
"You feel as if you are losing her," she finished for him.
He nodded his head and looked back out the window. Molly walked closer to him and said,
"She will always be your little girl Arthur."
"I know that it's just still sad to me even though she's happy," he said.
