Previously in Chapter four;
Harry was now stuck at check mate, against Ron.
"I think I've got you there mate!" Ron said smirking.
"I'll find a way out." Harry replied, screwing up his face in concentration.
"Listen mate," Ron said, looking for Harry's eyes. When he met them, Ron continued to talk. "You will be good to her won't you? No messing about or anything?"
"Of course Ron. I love Ginny very much, which I'm sure you already know. I wouldn't of asked her to marry me otherwise!" Ron smiled at this, but then quickly frowned again when Harry managed to move his chess piece out of Ron's check mate. "I told you I could find a way out!" Harry declared, smirking from ear to ear.
Several hours had passed and it was soon time for Harry to take Ginny back to Hogwarts, much to Ginny's protest. She was happily sitting with her little niece, Victoria, while sending sparks out of the bottom of her wand, smiling when Victoria clapped and asked for more. Harry was watching them fondly, halfheartedly pretending to be in a conversation with Ron about Ministry work. He loved to watch Ginny. He could do it all day along, especially when her hair shinned in the winter sun, like it was doing right now. He also loved her smile. His stomach also lurched inside of him when she smiled. She did truly have a wonderful smile.
"Harry?" It was Ron. He had obliviously figured out he was not listening. "I know she's gorgeous and all, but I wouldn't mind a bit of attention once in a while!" He said, smirking. Harry snapped his head up to look at Ron and couldn't help but laugh at what Ron had just said.
"That's your sister your talking about!" Ron paled and quickly said;
"Don't tell her that I said she's gorgeous. I would never live it down!" They shared a locked gaze for a moment before they both burst out laughing. Harry could hardly muster a reply through his giggles.
"Of course I won't. I wouldn't want to see you being humiliated!" Harry said sarcastically, earning him a glare from Ron and a couple of more giggles. Ginny had obviously heard the two of them laughing, as she was now making her way other to the pair of them, curiosity clearly written all of her face.
"What are you two laughing about?" She said, Victoria sitting happily on her hip, clapping her hands and trying to reach Ginny's wand that was in her jean pocket.
"Nothing important" Ron said, turning into a clear shade of deep red. Harry laughed again. "Was it Harry?" Ron added as he could see Ginny was getting more and more curious.
"No, nothing important!" Harry said, trying to muster a straight face, but clearly failing to do so. Ginny understood that she was not going to get another word out of the two of them, so she left to sit back down with Victoria, before she looked down at her watch and noticed the time.
"Oh Harry!" She exclaimed, frowning as they had to leave. "We've got to be going! But I don't want to go!" Harry again laughed at this. Ginny sometimes, even though she had just turned seventeen, could still ack like a child. Harry seemed to think that was cute though.
"Sorry hunny, but McGonallagal wants you back at school. I don't think she would like it if she thought I had run off with you!" Ginny smacked him on the arm playfully and smiled cheekily at him. Everyone got up to say goodbye to the couple, Mrs Weasley wrapping both of them in a bone-crushing hug, before trying to interrogate him some more.
"Your sure your copying OK Harry?" She asked, looking slightly worried.
"Yes, Mrs Weas- Molly" He said.
"Definitely eating enough?"
"Definitely!"
"And you'll come over for tea tomorrow night?"
"If you don't mind," And with a nod from Molly, he finished "Of course I will!"
"Goodbye Mum!" Ginny said, while Molly kissed her on the cheek.
Harry said goodbye to everyone else while Ginny was talking to her mother. He shock everyone's hands and got a very tight hug from Hermione. She whispered "Congratulations" in his ear and Harry returned the hug, equally as tight and said "Thank you!" In a hushed tone. Hermione than kissed him on the cheek and walked off to stand with Ron. Harry could see Ginny out of the corner of his eyes picking up the floo powder and he stepped over and joined her in the fireplace.
"Bye everyone!" They both said, before Ginny shouted at the top of her voice;
"Hogwarts; Headmistress office!" With a whirl and a bang, Harry and Ginny landed on the floor in Professor McGonagall's office. Harry got up, dusted himself off and then turned to Ginny and helped her up from were she was lying on the floor. She too was covered in soot, more so than Harry and with a wave of his wand, it had all disappeared. They both turned around to see McGonagall watching them, a smile on her face, before she looked back down and continued to read 'The Daily Mail' which Harry could of sworn was a British Muggle newspaper, especially as it had a advertisement for a washing machine on the back cover. Not bothering to ask, he gently grabbed Ginny's hand in his own and headed towards the door.
"Thanks again Professor, for letting us use your floo network." Harry said.
"No problem at all Potter!" She said and then quickly added, "I take it you will be finding over means of transport back home, once you have dropped Miss Weasley back off at her common room?"
"Of course Professor." He reached out and opened the door handle before adding, "Goodnight Professor!"
"Goodnight Harry, Ginny!"
"Goodnight Professor!" Ginny said, smiling at her cheerfully.
As it was now 6pm, Harry walked Ginny back to the Gryffindor common room, hand in hand and laughing when anyone stopped and gawped out them.
"I wish they wouldn't stare!" Ginny said, frustration clear in her voice. "It's none of their business if we are going out, I mean, if we are engaged!" She went slightly pink at forgetting that Harry was now her fiancé, but Harry just smiled and pulled her closer to him. As they reached the Fat Lady, Ginny uttered the password, which was funnily enough, 'Harry Potter' and they entered the common room, all eyes upon them and went to sit with Ginny's friends which were in the exactly the same place as they were this morning. There was two differences. Helena was not back from her parents house yet, so Ginny's friends Sian was sitting in the armchair next to the fire and Ginny's other friend Heather, was missing.
"Hello." Ginny greeted Sian, smiling nicely towards her.
"Hello Ginny, Harry!" She said, moving her coat and bag from the settees of they could both sit down. "How was your day?" She asked once they both had finally taken their seats and seemed to look comfortable.
"It was great thank you. The family were really supportive. How was your day?" Ginny said while snuggling closer to Harry so her head was on his chest. Harry was also now playing with a stray lock of Ginny's hair.
"It was OK I suppose," She stopped and then looked around to there other friends to make sure they couldn't hear and seeming satisfied that they couldn't, she continued, "As soon as you left Heather went off in a strop about something. We haven't seen her all day. Don't know what it's about though. Probably just worked up other exams. Unless-" Harry watched as Ginny and her friend Sian gossiped for over ten minutes, wondering how they could possibly talk for that long. It amazed him how they hardly stopped for breath before yapping on about a different theory about why Heather was in a strop. They came to the decision that she was overworked by exams and that she just needed some alone time from her friends, and as Sian put it, her 'over protective' boyfriend.
"What do you think Harry?" Ginny asked after enough five minutes. Harry had not been listening to there conversation and found himself clueless about what they were talking about. He looked at Ginny with a confused expression and Ginny sighed and slapped him on the chest. "Weren't you listening to a word I just said, Harry James Potter?" She had now removed her head from his chest and was looking up at him.
"Sorry," Harry replied sheepishly, "I've got something on my mind!"
"It's OK hunny!" She said plopping herself back down onto his chest again. Girls, thought Harry, there completely mental sometimes!
After a half an hour of talking and catching up on each other's events from today, Harry announced that he had to leave. Ginny whined and reluctantly lifted her head off Harry's chest and moaned in protest about him having to leave.
"I'll come and say goodbye to you outside," She said, standing up and placing her hand inside Harry's. "Where there will be no interruptions." She said and unknown to Harry, she winked at Sian and waved her free hand at the rest of her friends. Sian was now giggling. They walked out of the portrait hole and stood outside in the stone corridors of the school. They walked down to the entrance hall and stopped outside the big wooden doors. It was all deserted, which Ginny seemed grateful for.
"Do you have to go?" She moaned, hugging Harry tightly. Harry laughed and kissed the top of her head, before saying;
"I'll come again next weekend if you want?"
"Yes! I would love that!" Ginny sounded ecstatic about Harry's proposal and she tightened her arms around Harry's waist. "Ill owl you in the morning about what time to come and see me, shall I?" She asked.
"OK!" Harry said. Ginny lifted up her head and locked eyes with Harry. She loved to look into Harry's deep, green grass eyes. They always made her squirm inside. She placed her over hand in Harry's so they were now both being held. She lifted her head up ever so slightly, reached up on her tiptoes and kissed Harry very passionately on the lips. Harry returned the kiss with just as much passion as Ginny had, lowering his head to make it easier for Ginny. They could both hear the distant sounds of voices from approaching students, so Ginny pulled away from the kiss and squeezed Harry's hands tighter.
"I love you!" She murmured in Harry's ear, before kissing him softly on the cheek.
"I love you too, Gin!" Harry said, kissing her hand and then her lips again, ever so slightly. He could here the giggles of students, who had obviously just seen them kissing whispered. "See you on Saturday. I'll write to you tomorrow morning, OK?" Ginny nodded and he kissed her again on the lips, before turning around and walking out of the main door, stopping to turn around and mutter a "Goodbye" to Ginny.
Ginny walked back up to the common room with a smile on her face, ignoring all the comments made by the onlookers of Harry's and her kiss. She entered through the portrait hole and sat down on the settee again, smiling from ear to ear.
"What's got you in such a happy mood?" Sian questioned her, winking and grinning at Ginny.
"Never you mind!" She said, before a blush creeped up on to her face. Sian laughed out loud before going back to discussing Heather with Ginny. Ginny couldn't help but feel, like the happiest woman on the planet and she knew, somewhere. Wherever Harry was right now, he would be thinking the same thing.
