One Less Lonely Girl
Chapter 2
"Hermione Jane Granger wake up this instant or you'll be late for work!" Her mother practically screamed from downstairs. After giving birth to Isabelle her mother wouldn't let her have her own place, saying that she wanted her granddaughter to grow up where she grew up. And she knows that Hermione wouldn't trust anyone to watch Isabella when she's at work so she agreed to stay at her parent's house. And she wouldn't be a burden to them because she have a job that's helping her parents to pay for the bills and other stuff. "Don't make me come up there!"
"Alright alright I'm awake" Her eyelids half open, still wanting more sleep. 'Ugh, I feel like I'm in grade school again' she thought as she got up still half asleep when she heard her mother screamed again for the third time. 'Why do I have to have the loudest mother?' groaning as she checks on Isabelle's room to see if she too, is wondering why she have the loudest grandmother.
When she went downstairs, a plate of scrambled eggs and coffee was waiting for her and of course her dear mother simply annoyed at her tardiness.
"Good morning mom" Kissing her on the cheeks to see if she's still annoyed. "You look extraordinarily pretty today" she said as she took a sip of her coffee.
"Don't talk fancy to me"
"Oh don't be mad mom, I was up all night. Isabella just won't give up; she kept on asking me to tell her a story over and over and over again. You know I couldn't say no to my baby girl" she said savouring her breakfast. Thank Merlin her mother is such a great cook. "Good thing she didn't wake up from all that screaming" she said in a lower voice, hoping her mother wouldn't hear it.
"She is a heavy sleeper, I wonder where she gets that" Her mother said, peeking to see Hermione's reaction.
Ever since, her mother just kept on asking who Isabella's father is but Hermione wouldn't even give her a hint but she still kept on asking her in every possible way.
"I don't know maybe… other family members" she said, totally disregarding whatever her mother said and meant.
"Which side?" her mother innocently asked her as she washed the dishes, still watching Hermione's reaction through the corner of her eyes.
"Us of course, whose 'other family member' were you referring to?"
"Well, since you asked –"
"Oh will you look at the time." She said looking at her watch. "I'm late for work, I'll be home for dinner" Kissing her mother on the cheeks and practically run outside.
"Shoot, she got away again" her mother sighed as she came back in washing the dishes, thinking of ways to get her talking.
From all the things he'd been through, today was the most terrifying day of his life. Terrified that Ginny won't accept his proposal.
After the Great War
Harry was resting at the Gryffindor common room. All his worries are finally over.
The Weasley's asked Dumbledore if they could stay at Hogwarts at the moment and Mrs. Weasley insisted that they should celebrate because Voldemort is gone (She finally said his name) and her family are all alive and are back together and most especially Harry is alive.
"Hey"
"Hey to you too Ginny" He didn't need to open his eyes to know who that was.
"How'd you know it was me?" Ginny asked as she sat beside him.
"I just do" He said smiling at her.
"I wanted to ask if, well now that Voldemort is gone, what will happen to us?" Ginny asked out of the blue.
'Oh no' He thought. He wasn't expecting this would be the first thing Ginny would ask him. He didn't know what to say. He know that he wants Ginny but he's not sure if Ginny still wants him, if she chooses to be with other people, then he'll accept that decision and be happy for her no matter what.
Ginny was looking at him, waiting for his answer. He could see in her eyes that she wants him too but, he wanted to make sure.
Ginny knew him too well, she took up the courage to ask him the thing they both know they want "Let me ask you something Harry, do you want to be with me?"
"Yes I want to be with you Ginny, but if you want to be with other people –" he didn't get to finish that because the next thing he felt was Ginny's lips. He waited long for this, to finally be with her and not be scared because Voldemort was out there wanting to kill everyone he love, he will give up everything to be with this girl forever.
"Will you stay by my side forever Ginny?"
"Always and forever Harry" she said tears down her cheeks, and Harry immediately wiped those tears away.
"Don't cry Ginny"
"I'm just happy Harry, Happy that we're finally together again. I love you"
"I love you too Ginny" He said as he hugged his world.
End
'How can asking be this hard?' he thought as he went inside the newly renovated Burrow. All the Weasley's were there because it was Mr. And Mrs Weasley's anniversary, so he thought that this would be the right time to ask Ginny for her hand in marriage. It's now or never right?
"Come on Harry, Hurry up or Ron will eat all the cake!"
"Harry are you alright?" asked Ginny, sensing that something was wrong.
He was just so damn nervous. He managed an uneasy smile 'better get this over with'. And with that he stood up, walk up to Ginny and bent on one knee. Making the others stop whatever it is they were doing.
"Will you marry me Ginny? Please?" Harry asked flashing her with his 'I love you' smile that Ginny loves so much.
"I don't know what to say" Ginny, obviously not expecting this.
"Yes would be appropriate answer little sister!" shouted Ron. Making the twins smack him in the head.
"This is why you don't have a girlfriend little brother" Fred said, shaking his head at him.
"Shut up. And who said I don't have a girlfriend?" Ron said while defending himself.
"An imaginary girlfriend doesn't count Ron" shaking their heads at him. Making the others laugh completely forgetting about Harry.
"EHEM"
"Oh right. Sorry there mate. This is supposed to be romantic right, right. Well go on then, your moment, don't mind us here"
Shaking his head at the twins, He looked at Ginny again, hope in his eyes "Well Ginny? What do you say?"
"Of course I'll marry you Harry!"
He let out a sigh of relief he didn't know he was holding.
"And this is the part where you put the ring on her finger"
"RON!" everybody shouted. "SHUT UP!"
Again Ron earned another smack in the head from the twins. "Don't tell him what to do you git! You're ruining the 'moment' "
They are definitely not helping. "I was about to do that Ron" Harry said. This is supposed to be serious and romantic.
"Dance with me?" Standing up as he offered his hand to Ginny, and she willingly took it. "I'm sorry this isn't exactly how I pictured it"
"I loved every moment. And what's with the please?" Ginny asked, obviously amused with that.
"I just wanted you to say yes badly" Harry said smiling at her.
"I love you Harry Potter you know that?"
"I love you too Ginevra Weasley" He said as he kissed his soon to be wife.
"I do wish Hermione was here" she whispered to him sadly.
"Don't worry love I'll make sure she'll be here on our wedding day"
And that he will.
