Harry rolled out of bed and sighed in anticipation of the day ahead, it was one big day, Harry looked over at Ron, he was sitting at the bed of his bed with a green tinge to his freckled face.
"Come on mate, it'll be fine." Harry walked over to Ron and put a hand on his shoulder. Ron looked up at his friend his mouth opening and closing a few times before he managed to to get out any words, but even then it was little more than a squeak.
"You sure?" Harry grinned, to Ron Harry absolutely radiated confidence, Harry however wasn't so sure of himself, but as long as he kept up this glamour in front of Ron he'd be fine.
The two boys wandered downstairs, oblivious to the hushed silence in the common room. Harry just saw a blur of red before his girlfriend leapt into his arms.
"Whoa Gin, what's up?" Ginny giggled in a very un-ginnyish way. Hermione however sighed.
"Last night she had three packets of sugar quills, you know the mega-packs, and this morning she had six."
"Oh." was all Harry was able to say before Ginny jumped out of his arms, grabbed his wrist and pulled him out of the common room.
Soon all four Gryffindors were sitting at the breakfast table accompanied by the three surly looking Dursleys.
"Guess what?" Ginny jabbered, and without taking a breath, continued, "Today there's the Quidditch tournament and the duelling contests and then it's HOLIDAYS! Harry's Quidditch captain I'm on the Quidditch team too though Harry's gonna duel as well too Harry's amazing, did you know you look really grumpy ickle diddykins I don't think you are very ickle but you seem to hate that name so I'll call you that now ickle diddykins, ickle diddykins," Ginny sang and Dudley turned a purple colour to match Vernon.
"Will all visitors to Hogwarts please make there way to the back chamber of the Great Hall with there guides." McGonagall said calmly over the noisy students.
Harry sighed and with one last look at his untouched bacon and eggs walked with the Dursleys to the back chamber.
The talk there was quick, just explain what would happen today and that all the other families of Hogwarts students would also come to see the final day of competitions.
Soon Harry was down on the duelling field. Dressed in his new duelling robes with his good luck present from Ginny, a leather wand holster, attached firmly to his lower arm. Then Lee Jordan, who had come back to school just for this special occasion, boomed,
"Hello and welcome to the first competition of the day. First up is our very own Harry Potter, he vanquished He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named and is now back to fight anybody who has the guts, against Slytherins Draco Malfoy, who has more jell in his hair than the rest of the Wizarding World put together." Harry smiled when his name was mentioned and laughed along with the crowd at Draco's most impressive introduction. "Three, two, one. You may begin."
The duel was quick, Draco making the first move, Harry deflected the stunning spell and shot at tickling jinx at Draco which hit him full in the chest, leaving Draco vulnerable to attack, Harry shot a neat Expelliarmus and swiftly caught Draco's wand.
The other duels went on in the same way for the rest of the morning.
They had a quick lunch, the Dursleys and Weasleys getting as far away from each other as possible, before the Quidditch contest broke out.
They had changed the rules a bit from normal Quidditch as to have enough time for all four houses to play. You played the game exactly the same only with four teams and four sets of goalposts.
The match went well, Ginny, who had now calmed down from her sugar rush, scoring 18 of Gryffindors 21 goals, and Harry making a perfect dive for the Snitch before any of the other Seekers had even seen it.
After the match there was a big party, all families joined in, that was all except the Dursleys, but everyone else was having so much fun they didn't even notice them.
At around ten o'clock Harry glanced meaning fully at Ron, and then wandered over to Ginny, Ron following his example went over to Hermione. Harry watched for a second, giving Ron a minutes start once he had taking Hermione's hand and lead her out of the common room, before saying to Ginny,
"Ginny, will you come with me, I want to take you on a broom ride." Ginny nodded and followed Harry, seeing this Dudley waddled sneakily after them.
Soon Harry and Ginny were flying high above the Quidditch pitch, oblivious to Dudley watching them sulkily from the shadows.
"Gin, there's something I want to ask you, I know it's early and all but I have permission." Harry asked, his voice coming out unusually huskily.
"Asked permission, really Harry Potter asking permission, I may fall off my broom." Ginny giggled, but then softly added, "Ask away Harry."
"Ginny Weasley, will you marry me?" he said this at the same time as pulling a small box out of his pocket. "I know we're young, I just want to make sure people know you're taken once I leave. I love you Gin."
"I love you too, oh I say yes a million times over." Harry his face broke into a giddy grin, it was the same grin he had worn when he and Ginny first kissed. Ginny's eyes danced in the moonlight, full of life and happiness. Harry opened the small box, the inside was lined with silver silk, and in the middle was a ring. The ring had a pure gold strap with, I love you, written on it in fine, curling handwriting, there was a ruby red gem set in the middle of it and when caught in a certain light, it showed a galloping stag. Ginny looked speechless.
"I found that silver lining you needed." he grinned.
"Oh Harry it's beautiful." Ginny whispered.
"It was my mum's." Harry confessed. "I found it in her jewellery box which she left for me to look through in Gringotts, you don't ind do you?" Harry looked genuinely worried, until Ginny said,
"I love it, lets put it on and go show off, Hermione will be too." Harry stared at her in confusion after slipping the ring onto her slim finger.
"How d'you know?"
"Oh I just figured that what with all those funny looks you've been sending each other, you and Ron were probably planning to do it at the same time."
"Good. I thought you knew beforehand. Shall we fly down?" Harry asked, offering his arm. Ginny took it and they began their wobbly descent to the Quidditch ground.
