Harry knocked on the door of his flat and was greeted by the most beautiful sight he'd ever seen. Ginny was dressed in a balck dress that hugged her body, as he looked at the dress Harry couldn't help but blush sections of the dress were made of sheer black fabric. Everything important was coverd, but the dress made Harry's knew weak. Ginny smiled at him as she pulled her cloak on and handed him a muggle jacket. Grabbing Harry's hand Ginny closed the door behind her and pulled Harry down the stairs rolling her eyes.
Ron stood outside the door to Hermione's flat his hand playing with the box in his pocket. Before he could knock Hermione pulled open the door and Ron's nerves vanished. Hermione stood before him in a little black dress that showed every curve. Ron smiled and held out an arm for Hermione to take, and they made their way out.
Harry wrapped his arm around Ginny as they exited the movie theater. They had gone to see an older American movie. They had gotten a good laugh at the muggles version of a wizard, but on the whole it was a good movie. Ginny relaxed into Harry's side, "Do you want to walk through the park on our way back love?" Harry smiled at Ginny, "Do you want to look at the lights again?" Ginny laughed, "Yes, those eclectric lights almost look like fairies. The things muggles come up with." Harry laughed, "Through the park it is." The young couple walked hand in hand through the park, stopping to stare at the lights and sneak kisses. They were so wrapped up in each other they didn't see the photographer snapping pictures of them. Finally they got back to Harry's flat, "Wait here for a second Gin." Harry hurried into the flat and Ginny heard him rustling around.
Harry swung the door open and Ginny's jaw dropped, Harry had hung strings of the muggle lights all over his flat. And unless her eyes were deceiving her Harry had baked her favorite apple dessert. "Did you do all this for me love?"
"No Gin, I did it for Ron. Of course it's for you, we've never gotten to do the Valentine's thing before and I wanted to make it special for you."
Ginny sniffed back tears, "Prat, you're going to make me cry. I love you Harry."
"I love you to Ginny. And I'm your prat."
Ginny laughed as she moved closer to Harry, "Yes you are. If I remember correctly we had something else planned for Valentine's, but my brother's untimely arrival nipped that in the bud."
Harry smirked, "I seem to remember a few details we haven't gotten to yet." Ginny wrapped her arms around Harry's neck and brought her lips to his. Dessert could wait she had her heart set on something else sweet.
Ron was beginning to get nervous again. They had gone to dinner and the ballet had just let out. Ron clutched at the notebook in his sweaty palms and watched as the most amazing woman in the world walked across the street towards him. Hermione gave Ron a questioning look when she arrived at the fountain and he didn't move. "Is everything okay Ron?"
Ron shook himself out of his reverie it was time, "Hermione I have something for you." Ron handed her the notebook. Hermione took the notebook with fingers that were suddenly nerveless. She opened the front cover and read.
Hermione Jean Granger I love you with all my heart.
You the most amazing woman I have ever met.
You are smart, caring, passionate, and beautiful, not to mention the only person who can look sexy while concentrating on a book.
I could spend the rest of my life learning everything about you, building a life with you.
I cannot imagine my life without you; we balance each other so perfectly.
The prospect of a future without you in it doesn't seem like a future worth living.
Let's spend the rest of our lives making memories to write about.
Will you marry me?
Hermione looked up to see Ron down on one knee ring in hand, and Hermione was speechless. She, the girl who knew so many words couldn't form a sentence while tears streamed down her face. She launched herself into Ron's arms and buried her face in his neck. Ron laughed, "Can I take that as a yes Hermione?" She nodded into Ron's shoulder, "yes, I love you Ron." Ron slipped the ring on her finger and Hermione was suddenly glad she had set up something special at her flat. Hermione pulled back to look at Ron, "Come back to my flat?" Ron nodded yes and the two headed off hand in hand.
Hermione opened the door to her flat and tried to block Ron's view of the inside. When Ron reached behind her for the light switch Hermione put her hand over his stopping him. "I need to tell you something love, before I show you what's in here. In the half light from the hallway Ron nodded, "What's wrong?"
"I was feeling a little insecure today. Sometimes I feel like I'm not as sexy as I could be."
Ron laughed, and the quickly sobered when he saw the expression on Hermione's face, "I'm not laughing at you love, it's just that we really are similar sometimes. I spent the whole day freaking out over the proposal because I couldn't believe a woman as wonderful as you would ever go for a guy like me. And as for not being sexy, that is just not true. You don't have to try to be sexy you just are."
Hermione smiled, "well I'm glad to hear you say that, and how could you ever think I wouldn't love you. I have been in love with you since I was 13 years old. That is never going to change."
With those words Hermione flicked on the lights and showed Ron the modifications to her apartment. Ron's face broke into in to a grin when he saw the chocolate cake on the table. The he turned to Hermione, "you did all this for us?" Hermione nodded and pulled Ron towards the bed, he followed her and his last coherent thought was that the cake could wait.
Ginny smiled as she stepped out of the bathroom. She saw her boyfriend cocooned on his side of the bed. After being up almost 48 hours with only a nap Ginny hoped he would sleep well until Teddy got here. Grabbing her Quidditch gear she kissed Harry's cheek and headed to practice.
Ron pulled on his work robes; he always pulled the Sunday morning shift at the joke shop. He kissed his sleeping fiancé on the cheek, reveling in the fact that he could now call her fiancé. With a backwards glance at Hermione Ron closed the door behind him.
