"Harry, why do you look so blue?" Ron asked as he fixed his suit. Harry just shrugged as he stared aimlessly at the empty space in front of him. Ron turned to him. "Snap out of it, Harry. Today's your day. It took me long weeks to prepare the speech, but of course I did my best. With Hermione's help, of course," he added.
I've been dying inside you see
Harry looked up. "I'm just worried," he said as he tightened his tie.
"Worried about what?" asked Ron. Harry shrugged. Ron smiled at him and sat down beside him. He leaned back on the cushion behind them. "You and Ginny will be fine. Don't worry about it. Hermione and I will still be here for the both of you whenever you need us. Don't look so down, it's your special day. You're finally marrying my little sister," he said.
Harry managed to grin. "She's not your little sister anymore." He stood up and helped Ron stand too. "She's going to be my wife in a couple of minutes."
Ron nodded as they combed their hair. "You mentioned something about not being worth it to have Ginny's hand before, right?" Harry nodded, making sure his hair didn't stand up in a messy way again as he forced it to become neater. "Well, here you are now clothed in groom's clothes about to take my sister away from me," he pointed out.
"I really didn't think it would come down to this before though," said Harry. "I mean, I thought all my life I would become someone of no use anymore after we've defeated Voldemort. I watched Ginny closely when she was with Michael and Dean. She looked so happy and I remember that crushing my feelings. That's why I didn't get back with Ginny right after the war, unlike you and Hermione," he explained.
Ron snorted. "I would never agree marrying Ginny of to any of the two of them," he said. He looked at Harry. "I know you're the most perfect person to be by Ginny's side. Knowing you for twelve years now, you'd take really good care of Ginny." He placed a hand on Harry's shoulder. "Besides, remember when you asked Ginny's hand from Mum and Dad?"
Harry smiled. "How could I forget?"
Harry walked into the kitchen where Mr. and Mrs. Weasley were having a heated debate on who's going to tuck Victorie in. They stopped when they saw Harry standing by and watching them argue
"Oh Harry, is there anything you need, dear?" asked Mrs. Weasley.
Harry took a deep breath. "Uh, there is something I wanted to talk with you with, but if this a bad time, I can just come by again tomorrow," he said, about to turn and leave the Burrow.
"Don't be silly, Harry. This isn't a bad time," said Mr. Weasley as he pushed away some pots that were dangling in front of him. "You came here all the way from Godric's Hollow. Go on, have a seat in the living room," he said.
Harry walked to the familiar living room and sat on the couch. He waited for Mr. and Mrs. Weasley to come from the kitchen. Mrs. Weasley handed Harry a cup of tea. "So what did you want to talk about, Harry?" she asked.
I'm goin outta my mind (outta my mind)
Harry could feel butterflies fly around his stomach. "Well, it's been years," he said. Mr. and Mrs. Weasley waited for him to continue. "I've been saving up a lot. The house in Godric's Hollow, you should see it if you have time." He felt his hand tremble. "I mean, I came here because," Harry said slowly. His heart began speeding up with the pumping. "I…"
"Spit it out already!" Ron and Hermione, who were now wed, stood nearby. They came for an uncanny visit to the Burrow when they hear that Harry had just Apparated to the Weasley home.
Harry turned back to Mr. and Mrs. Weasley, gathered up all the courage he's got inside him, and said in one breath, "I want to ask for Ginny's hand in marriage, will you allow me to take her?"
"Finally!" Mr. Weasley joked. He held out his hand. "Of course, Harry. We've been waiting. And we almost thought you'd never ask." Harry shook hands with Mr. Weasley. "I can't wait to see the pair of you start a new life together."
Harry was surprised at the Weasleys' reactions, but was pleased to see that none of them protested against his proposal.
Harry came back to reality. The Wedding was about to start when Hermione came up to him. "You look really nervous. Snap out of it," she said, but she was rather amused that Harry looked fantastic.
Harry grinned. "Like Ron wasn't before," he countered remembering how Ron almost chickened out on his own wedding day. Harry gave Hermione a hug. "I'm really grateful for you, Hermione. I wouldn't be here without you."
As Ginny walked down the aisle, Harry watched intently. She was more beautiful than ever. He couldn't pry his eyes off her. They were finally here. They were finally getting married. Harry, in his wildest dreams, didn't think this was going to happen in his life. He knew what a blessing it was to see Ginny smiling, with a white gown, and walking down the aisle.
I'm just runnin' in circles all the time
