This is an all time record for me. I updated the next day! Which means that yes, I wrote a whole chapter in less than 24 hours. This did indeed mean that I was up late and was very tired at school, but it's done and exciting and I have 50 reviews. Yes! That's super exciting. Please keep them coming and don't let me keep you any longer from reading the chapter! (:

"Where is he taking me?" Ginny begged.

"I don't know," Hermione replied in a singsong "I'm acting like I don't know but I really do" kind of way.

"Ugh. I know you're lying to me, please just tell me. Please?"

"Sorry Gin, no can do. I think you should wear this though," Hermione said holding up a navy silk mini dress with gold sequin detail at the top. The silk covered one shoulder and the gold sequins covered the other.

It was gorgeous, and Ginny knew she'd be stupid not to wear it. Knowing what her answer would be Hermione dug through Ginny's closet until she found a navy pair of high pumps. She tossed them Ginny's way, narrowly missing her head, and then moved to jewelry. After a little more digging she proudly emerged with a set of gold bangles, small dangly gold earrings, and a gold key necklace. Ginny slipped it all on, still upset that she didn't know where Harry was taking her tonight.

After she got dressed Hermione did her hair and make-up. Her hair was curled and put in an elegant twist with curls hanging out of her loose bun. Her make-up was nearly indescribable. Her eyes looked gorgeous with a shimmery gold eye shadow, black eyeliner thinly outlining her eyes, and a soft blush making her glow. Hermione smiled sweetly at her and hugged her friend.

"Have fun!" She said as the doorbell rang and Ginny flew down the stairs to answer it.

Harry was waiting on the other side; a rose in his hand. He passed it to her before he bent his head down to kiss her. Not a moment later Hermione came racing down the stairs with a black peacoat jacket in her arms.

"Sorry to interrupt," she said not sounding sorry at all, "but you forgot your jacket and you'll freeze without it."

"Thanks 'Mione," Ginny said taking it.

Behind Ginny's back Hermione winked at Harry before going back up the stairs. Harry took Ginny's hand and they stepped outside into the chilly night.

"Close your eyes Ginny," Harry said. She was expecting it; the whirling and spinning; and when she opened them they were standing in a dark alleyway. She followed his lead and Harry lead her to the much busier street where people came and went to and fro. He led her to the entrance of a nice looking muggle restaurant.

Ginny enjoyed muggle restaurants; sure it took longer for the food to arrive, but it really did give a nice time for the couple to talk.

The table had a white tablecloth and a single flickering candle on it. It was at the back where there weren't as many people. Harry thanked the hostess and pulled Ginny's seat out for her; being a perfect gentleman.

Harry's hair had attempted to be combed; he wore a suit and tie.

"What's the occasion?" Ginny asked, eying him up and down.

"There is none." He said sitting down. He passed Ginny a menu and looked down at it himself. "I know how you hate waiting a while for your food, so I'll apologize now; this is one of those restaurants that it takes a while to get your food out to you."

"That's alright. Usually I'm dying of starvation at this time, but I ate a late lunch," she said laughing softly.

"Perfect," Harry replied smiling to himself.

Despite the chilly night the couple walked through the park. The sun had long ago set and the stars twinkled above them, though they were hidden because of the city lights. They walked through the freshly mown grass hand in hand under the large trees. Neither of the couple were talking, though the silence was welcomed. It wasn't awkward in any way; it was calm and peaceful showing that devotion and love can come from more than words.

There comes a time when we have to move on or else we never really more forward. Whether we like it or not, change in inevitable. Sometimes we just want to hold onto the moment and never move forward from it. Harry realized that long ago when sadness had overtaken him. When he had been filled with grief and wallowing in his own self pity he realized that he needed to more forward and continue on. So despite his grief through all of his losses he kept going and put them behind him, though never forgetting those he loved.

Turning to face Ginny memories flooded his mind; from when he first met her to their last kiss before she boarded the Hogwarts Express.

"I love you Ginny," Harry said interrupting the silence.

"Mmm." She murmured. "I love you more than you'll ever know."

And with more passion then either thought possible they kissed. It was strong, sweet and caring all in one. As they broke apart Harry reached into his jacket pocket. Kneeling down on one knee the cold ground below him he looked up at her. She really was beautiful. Her face glowed and slants of light beams fell onto it lighting it up more.

"Ginerva Weasley, I love you. Will you marry me?"

Harry watched her face that tears were now streaming down it.

"Oh. Don't cry," he said trying to hide the hurt in his own face.

Before he could stand up she had put both of her hands on his shoulders and pushed him back down. She was beaming now.

"Oh Harry. I love you too. Of course I will!"

He had never seen her smiled so big and Harry had never been so happy. Slipping his mother's silver antique ring decorated with three diamonds on her finger he stood up, wrapped his arms around her and kissed her. Her hands ruffled his hair and his ran up and down her back.

"You had me worried for a minute," he said honestly as they broke apart.

"I'm sorry. I didn't mean to," she said, but neither said anything else seeing as they were entwined in each other's arms, lips together again.

I know you have thoughts about this, don't even try to hide it, so review and let me in on those thoughts. Please? (:

Oh and a picture of Ginny's dress along with her engagement ring is on my profile. It's gorgeous so you know you want to go check it out. :D
