Chapter 6- Coming To Light
Harry had never been so nervous to see the Weasley's. He figured after Ron's visit that it was best if talked to them, Ginny wasn't going to anytime soon. He apparated onto the doorstep and knocked. Mrs. Weasley was in the kitchen, and Mr. Weasley had been reading the newspaper by the fireplace. He put down the paper, said something untranslatable aloud and slowly opened the door.
"Have you come to take Ginny's stuff?" Mrs. Weasley asked worried
"No, I came to talk to you guys. Ginny is absolutely torn up about this and I don't want her to be…" Mr. Weasley showed him to the table where he had eaten so many meals at.
"Harry, it's not like we don't love you. In fact, if we could pick anyone for our daughter, it would be you. You have saved our family countless times, it's just she's our little girl…" Mr. Weasley tried to explain.
"I don't want her making haste decisions just because she can't have something…." Mrs. Weasley said as she joined them.
"If all this was about living together, I'm pretty sure she would've just done it. I have enough money to support us without outside help…" Harry reasoned. "The truth is that I love your daughter, Mr. and Mrs. Weasley. During the battle when Bellatrix almost killed her I thought my life was over for a few seconds. I realized then that I couldn't live without her…"
Mrs. Weasley looked down at the table, she remembered very well when she had almost lost a second child.
"She's so young…" Mrs. Weasley whispered.
"Age doesn't matter, love does. I know perfectly in my heart that I'm going to love Ginny for the rest of our lives. Don't you guys remember when you were getting married and you felt like this?"
They both nodded, it wasn't that long ago.
"I remember it felt like the entire world was against us." Mrs. Weasley recalled. "I don't want that for my only daughter…"
After a few quiet moments Mr. Weasley walked Harry to the door.
"Harry, you will be a lovely son-in-law. I'm so glad our daughter has found you…"
"Honestly, I'm the lucky one." Harry smiled.
"Tell her that I know she doesn't need my approval but that she has it anyway…" Mrs. Weasley said from the kitchen.
Harry nodded and smiled, then walked out the door and apparated home. When he arrived there he found Ginny on the couch in the sitting room. She was staring at a pad of paper and she clearly was distressed.
"Gin?" Harry asked concerned as he walked closer. She looked up, revealing her tear-streaked face. "What's wrong?" he asked, sitting down next to her.
"I don't know what I'm doing….I can't plan a wedding by myself. I'm so stupid for thinking I could…" she sobbed into Harry's shoulder as he embraced her.
"You, Ginny Weasley are not stupid. And you know what? You shouldn't have to plan a wedding by yourself." Ginny stopped her sobbing and looked at Harry.
"What do you mean?"
"I went and talked to your parents today…" he began
"You did what!"
"Ginny, just listen. Their reasons for being upset with us weren't completely wrong. They were just concerned about their only daughter, and who wouldn't be."
"But Harry, they have no right to…."
"Honey, they just want what's best for you. So I talked to them and now everything's good again."
"But what if that's not what I want?" she asked.
"You are her only daughter, Gin. Of course she's gonna be concerned…"
Ginny thought reasonably for a minute, "I guess you're right."
"What'd you mean "you guess" ? Baby, I'm always right." Harry laughed.
"You wish, Potter…" Ginny laughed.
