(A/N: Alright, I've got some good news and some bad news. The good news is that Spring Break has started for me! Yay! This means I'll be able to write more. The bad news is that I have a bit of a Writer's Block; ironic, isn't it? I hope it goes away soon. In the meantime, here's what I have so far.)

Chapter 8: Happy Memories

Michelle wandered through the house looking for the house elves. She was playing Hide and Seek with them. They were normally hard to find since they were so small and knew good hiding places from all the cleaning.

Still, Michelle missed Danny. She really looked up to him. She couldn't wait until she got to go to Hogwarts. She wanted to be just as good as him. During the time he was at school, she normally played with Dobby, Winky, and Buddy. She would also go over her grandparent's house and help with baby Jimmy and play with Kevin and Kelly. But since they started at Hogwarts this year, she had two less playmates.

"Buddy?" asked Michelle poking her head into her parent's room. "Dobby? Winky? Come out, come out where ever you are."

She thought she heard something in the closet and went to investigate. She saw a pair of ears before they disappeared with a crack!

"Hey! No vanishing!" Michelle cried.

She turned to run out of the room, but something caught her attention. Resting on a desk by the bed was a Pensieve. Michelle heard about those, but she didn't know that her parents had one.

Curiosity got the better of her and she went to investigate. She opened the lid and looked into the liquid memories.

"Wow." whispered Michelle.

She got a bit closer to try and make out what the memories were. The next thing she knew, she was falling down, down, down.

Michelle had no idea where she was. It looked like a hallway. She didn't recognize the place. She turned around and saw a portrait of a big fat lady.

"Excuse me ma'am, where am I?" Michelle asked politely.

The Fat Lady ignored her. Footsteps could be heard coming up the stairs. Michelle turned around and saw someone very familiar.

"Danny?" she asked uncertainly.

The boy walked past her. No, he walked through her. Michelle shrieked as he went through him.

"Quid agis." the boy said to the Fat Lady.

"You'll see." she replied.

She swung forward, and Michelle jumped as a roar of celebration came from the room behind her,

The boy was pulled inside, and Michelle was pulled along with him by an unseen force.

The room was crowded with people. There was this other boy with red hair and freckles holding a silver trophy. Michelle recognized him as a younger version of her Uncle Ron. She spotted the person next to him and instantly recognized her Aunt Hermione. They didn't look more than 16. Which meant that, that boy she saw wasn't Danny. It was her father.

"We won!" Ron yelled. "We won! Four hundred and fifty to a hundred and forty! We won!"

Michelle wasn't sure what they won, but was glad they did. She saw someone run past her. They had flaming red hair and freckles, just like her. Michelle instantly knew this was her mother.

Ginny threw her arms around Harry and hugged him. Then Harry kissed her. Michelle felt her face go red and looked away. Everyone in the room went quiet. Then she heard some wolf-whistles. Michelle didn't realize her parents had stopped kissing and were walking out of the common room until she was pulled along with them. The portrait closed behind them, leaving them in the hall.

Harry turned to face Ginny. "Ginny I-" But he was cut off as Ginny threw her arms around him and pressed her lips against his. Michelle looked away again, giggling.

"So, how long have you fancied me?" asked Ginny, once they broke apart.

"Too long." Harry replied.

"I'll bet I've fancied you longer." smirked Ginny.

"I'll bet you have too." laughed Harry.

The two of them kissed again. They kissed so long that the Fat Lady eventually made a coughing noise to indicate her presence.

Harry and Ginny broke apart, blushing.

"Er, care for a walk around the grounds?" asked Harry.

"Sounds great." said Ginny.

The two of them began walking away. Michelle followed. Not that she had a choice.

"So why didn't you ever ask me out before?" Ginny eventually asked.

"Well, you were with Dean then." said Harry. "I didn't want to mess up your relationship if you were happy with him. No matter how much I liked you."

"That's sweet." said Ginny. "But I haven't been with Dean for awhile now."

"Yeah well, I was also worried about what Ron would think. After all, I remembered how he reacted after he caught you and Dean snogging."

"The hell with Ron!" said Ginny, fiercely. "You think that I would let my idiot brother stop me from being with you."

She pinned Harry against the wall. She had big smirk on her face.

"I've been waiting six years to get you to like me." said Ginny, smiling mischievously. "And now that I have you, I'm never letting you go."

"Does this mean we're a couple?" asked Harry grinning.

Ginny smiled more broadly. "You better believe it, Potter."

The two of them kissed again. Michelle thought it was sweet seeing how her parents got together, but she didn't want to see them snogging.

At that moment, the memory faded. The whole room changed. Michelle was now in her grandparent's house. She saw her grandparents, her Uncle Bill, Charlie, Fred, George, Ron, and her Aunt Fleur.

Harry came into the room and closed the door. He turned to the Weasleys, looking very nervous.

"So, what did you want to talk to us about, Harry?" asked Mr. Weasley.

Harry took a deep breath. "Well, you know that Ginny and I have been going out for over a year now."

The Weasleys nodded.

"Well, I just want you to know that Ginny means the world to me. I love her with all my heart. I would do anything for her. I would even die for her. And, well… I would like your approval to marry her."

Harry finished and took a deep breath. The Weasleys smiled and gave each other knowing looks.

"Harry, we've actually been expecting this." said Mr. Weasley. "We could tell that you and Ginny love each other. We've talked about it, and we would be honored to have you marry our daughter.

Michelle saw relief sweep over her father's face.

"You mean it?" said Harry.

"Of course we do." said Mrs. Weasley, wipping tears from her eyes. "However, before we give you our blessings, there's a few things we need to go over."

Harry seemed a little nervous again. "I'll do anything to be with Ginny."

Mr. Weasley smiled. "We can tell. But first we would like to know, how you're planning to support yourselves."

"Oh." said Harry. He seemed to be expecting something more. "Well money never really was a problem for me. And then Sirius left me with everything. Even Dumbledore gave everything to me. And he had more money than Sirius and me combined already."

"And what about your plans for employment?" asked Bill. "Are you still planning on becoming an Auror?"

Harry shook his head. "No, actually I have something better in mind. I would like to return to Hogwarts and take the position of Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher. I've already talked it over with McGonagall, and she said she would be glad to have me as a teacher. I just need some training first."

"But Harry, that job is jinxed." exclaimed Ron.

"No Ron, I think with Voldemort gone, that everything will be ok now." said Harry.

"Well you would be perfect for the job." said Mr. Weasley. "Now that settles everything. Well, almost everything. There are just two more conditions we need to go through."

"Such as?"

"You may propose to Ginny whenever you want, but you must wait for her to finish school. She has to make up the year she missed while she was out finding the Horcruxes."

"I understand."

"And the last thing is that we don't want the two of you to have any children until you both have jobs."

Harry blushed but nodded. "Very well."

"Then I guess all that's left to say is welcome to the family!" said Bill. "When are you going to ask her?"

"I was planning on doing it when she comes over during Christmas." said Harry.

"That sounds great." said Ron. "Congratulations."

"Speaking of proposing, when are you going to ask Hermione?" teased Harry.

Ron's ears turned red. "Hey, it's not too late for me to change my decision."

Harry laughed with the rest of the Weasleys as the memory faded again. Michelle knew she shouldn't really be messy with other people's memories, but she thought it was romantic seeing her parents get together.

The memory changed again. She was still in her grandparent's house. All the Weasleys, Harry, and Hermione were sitting around, apparently waiting for something. The fireplace roared to life and a smiling redhead stepped through.

"Mummy!" cried Ginny, throwing her arms around her mother.

"Hello, sweet heart." said Mrs. Weasley, hugging her daughter. "How's school going?"

"Very good." said Ginny. She turned to the rest of the family. "What, no hello for your dear sister?" she teased.

Everyone began greeting her. When Harry came to say hi, the words were barely out of his mouth before Ginny threw herself at him and kissed him. Both Ron and Michelle looked away. One grinning, the other looking like they were going to be sick.

"I've missed you." said Ginny.

"I've missed you too." said Harry, wrapping his arms around her.

"It's been so lonely at Hogwarts without you." Ginny whispered in his ear.

"Aww, how sweet." said Fred, wiping imaginary tears from his eyes.

"The two love birds missed each other." said George, sobbing into his twin's shoulder, right before they burst out laughing.

"Oh stop it now!" snapped Mrs. Weasley.

Harry and Ginny grinned.

"Care for a walk around the garden with me?" Harry asked her. "You can fill me in on your school year so far."

"Harry, it's freezing out." laughed Ginny.

"So what." whispered Harry. "We'll keep each other warm."

"Oh, how could I say no to you."

"Oh Harry, I'd do anything for you." said George, imitating Ginny's voice.

"That's not funny, George." said Hermione, as Harry and Ginny left the room. "I think it's so sweet seeing them together."

"Speak for yourself." Michelle heard Ron say, as she was pulled uncontrollably after her parents.

Harry and Ginny were walking around the snow covered garden. At first they weren't saying anything, just enjoying each other's company.

"So how have things at Hogwarts been going?" Harry asked eventually.

"Oh, just fine." replied Ginny. "But like I said, it's just not the same without you, Ron, and Hermione. Well, especially you."

She kissed him on the cheek.

"It's been a little lonely without you too." said Harry.

Ginny smiled at him.

"I don't ever want to be away from you." he continued. "I love you so much."

"I love you too."

"I've been thinking a lot about us. And I've never loved anyone as much as I love you. You're the best thing that ever happened to me. You make me happy, when I'm sad. You give me comfort, when I'm down. You give me hope, when I have none. You're the world to me Ginny. You make my life meaningful. I'll do anything for you."

"Harry." said Ginny. She had tears in her eyes. "That's so sweet. I feel the same way about you. I love you with all my heart."

Harry took a deep breath. He bent down and scooped up some snow. "What I'm trying to say, is that I love you more than anything. And I want to spend the rest of my life with you."

He blew the snow out of his hand. It formed the words 'WILL YOU MARRY ME?'

Tears were now pouring down Ginny's face as she read the message. She looked at Harry lovingly, before throwing her arms around him.

"Yes, Harry Potter! Yes!" she cried. "You're all I ever wanted! I would love to marry you!"

The two of them kissed passionately. This time Michelle didn't look away. She realized she was crying too. Her father had just proposed to her mother. She looked back at the Burrow and saw that all of the Weasleys were watching them out the window, and each one of them had a pair of Extendable Ears.

Then for the third time, the memory faded, and a new one came in. It was no longer winter. The sun was shining, the flowers were blooming, and there were a lot of people gathered around for what seemed like a wedding.

Michelle began to get excited. She had an idea of who's wedding this was. She looked around and spotted her father standing by the alter, looking very nervous. Ron was standing next to him.

"You nervous?" he asked.

"More than I've ever been in my entire life." said Harry. "But I want this more than anything."

"Then settle down, mate." said Ron, slapping him on the back. "You're too tense."

"Yeah well, we'll just see how you are when you and Hermione get married."

Ron went red. "What are you talking about?"

But their conversation was cut off by music. Ginny had appeared at the end of the aisle, with Mr. Weasley to give her away. She looked stunning in her wedding dress. The two made their way up the aisle until they reached the alter.

"And who gives this young lady away?" asked the priest.

"I do. Arthur Weasley." said Mr. Weasley proudly.

He kissed his daughter on the cheek and whispered to her "I'm so happy for you two."

"Thank you, Daddy." said Ginny, fighting back tears.

Mr. Weasley handed her off to Harry.

"Dearly beloved!" cried the priest. "We are gathered here on this day to join together Harry James Potter and Ginevra Molly Weasley! Harry, do you take Ginevra Weasley to be your wife, to love and protect until death due you part?"

"I do." said Harry.

He tapped Ginny's ring finger with his wand. A gold diamond ring appeared on Ginny's finger. It began to glow red. Soon Ginny was engulfed in a red light, just as Fleur had been at her wedding.

"Ginevra, do you take Harry Potter to be your husband, to love and to hold until death due you part?"

I do." said Ginny.

She tapped Harry's ring finger. A gold wedding band appeared on Harry's finger. Just like Ginny, he was engulfed in light, only it was blue.

"I now pronounce you husband and wife." the priest declared. "You may kiss the bride."

Harry and Ginny kissed. The light around them turned purple. Just like at Bill and Fleur's wedding, the light erupted, only it was much, much brighter. Several people, including Michelle had to look away, due to the light's intensity. Then it vanished. Everyone was on their feet clapping. All the girls cried while they clapped. Michelle did too.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I give you Mr. and Mrs. Potter!" cried the priest.

Everyone cheered.

"Come on everyone." cried Ginny. "Time for the bouquet toss."

She threw the bouquet in the air. It was heading for a random wizard before Fred lept up on the table and dove for it. He caught it and came crashing hard to the ground. Everyone laughed as Mrs. Weasley scolded him.

The dance floor opened up and people began dancing. Even though Michelle didn't have a dance partner, and couldn't have one, she danced with them.

Hermione came over to Harry and Ginny.

"Congratulations!" she cried, hugging Ginny.

"Thanks Hermione." said Ginny.

Hermione turned to Harry and started shaking his hand.

"Congratulations to you too!" she said.

"Thank you." said Harry, as Hermione continued shaking his hand.

After a few seconds, Hermione still hadn't let go. Harry looked down and noticed something. There was a ring on her finger. He looked back up at Hermione, who was beaming. Ginny took notice of the ring too. She turned to Hermione.

"He asked?" she said.

Hermione nodded.

"When?"

"Just now."

"That's great! Congratulations to you!"

The two girls hugged each other again as Harry walked over to Ron who had just arrived.

"Enjoying yourself?" said a voice.

Michelle jumped and turned around to find her present day mother.

"Mum, I'm sorry." said Michelle. "I didn't mean to-"

"It's ok, sweetie. I'm not mad." Ginny assured her. "But you shouldn't really look into other people's memories without their permission. Now come on."

She pulled the two of them from the Pensieve.

"That was lovely." said Michelle. "You and Dad looked so good together."

Ginny smiled.

"Yes, it seems your father and I were made for each other. I loved him since the first time I saw him. Someday, sweetie, you'll find someone special, and you'll want to be with them forever. Just like me and your father."

At that moment, there was the sound of erupting flames.

"Looks like he's home." said Ginny. "Lets go say hi."

Ginny walked out of the room with Michelle skipping happily behind her.

Once they left Buddy stuck his head out from under the bed.

"Isn't Miss going to find Buddy?"
