Harry hurried through the door to the burrow and saw the Weasley family in chaos. When Mrs. Weasley saw Harry, she quickly silenced her family, "Harry, what is going on? Ginny just ran through here upset saying she had just broken up with you. I haven't been able to calm all the buffoons down long enough to get a straight answer from them."

"It's like this Mrs. Weasley, you all tried to teach me to dance and it didn't work out well. So, Fleur decided that since Gabrielle was in the country for Vic's first birthday she should try to teach me since that's what she does for a living. Ginny walked in on our dance lesson and then tried to hex me and ran out."

Mrs. Weasley sighed, "Oh dear, well you'd best go talk to Ginny then Harry. I'm sure this will sort itself out in good time dear." Harry made his way up the stairs and Molly turned to her family. Is this why you lot were so hysterical, you knew the full plan?"

Arthur nodded, "Yes Molly dear, we knew the whole story we wanted it to be a surprise for you when Ginny told you they were engaged."

"Engaged! I thought this was just an anniversary surprise. How could you all have known Harry was going to propose and not told me? Oh my goodness this isn't a good position to be in"

Arthur put a calming hand on his wife's arm, "Everything will be fine Molly dear, and did you really want us to rob Ginny of the chance to tell her mother she was getting married?"

Molly sighed, "I suppose not. Am I correct in guessing you all know because Harry spoke with each of you about his plans to propose?"

The Weasley men nodded their heads yes. They all turned to face the stairs when they heard Harry's footsteps. He was alone when he entered the kitchen. Ron looked at his best friend with concern, "Where's Ginny?" Harry shook his head, "I think I have an idea where she might be. She's not in her room." Ron pushed his friend towards the door, "Then go find her and be quick there will definitely be some ducking involved." Ron pushed Harry out the door and closed the door in his face.

Harry figured there were two places Ginny would go when she was upset. He figured he'd try the Quidditch pitch first. Harry stopped and surveyed the empty Quidditch stadium. After checking the air and the locker rooms, he disappeared with a pop and arrived at the graveyard where Fred was buried. Harry's instinct had been right. He saw Ginny sitting in front of Fred's tombstone. He walked quietly up behind her and heard her talking to Fred. "I don't know what to believe Fred, Harry is not the kind of guy to cheat. But then why did I catch him in the arms of another woman?"

Harry stepped forward, "Maybe it was for a good reason Fred, maybe it wasn't what it looked like."

Ginny turned around at the sound of Harry's voice and looked at him with anger in her eyes, "Then what was going on Harry?"

Harry shuffled his feet, "It's kind of hard to explain."

Ginny turned and walked away from Harry, he hurried to catch up. "Ginny, just let me try to explain."

Ginny whorled around to face him, "Well then tell me Harry, tell me why you've been so secretive these last couple months. Tell me why you've been distant. Tell me why you were in some blonde women's arms this evening. Are you cheating on me? Are you in love with someone else?"

Harry took a step closer to Ginny, "No Ginny, I am not cheating on you, I happen to be in love with the most amazing woman in the whole world. Why would I even need to look at another woman?"

Ginny took a step back, "your still not answering my questions Harry, what was going on in your flat today?"

Harry shuffled his feet, he didn't really want to tell Ginny his plan to propose, but he wasn't sure Ginny would believe him if he didn't tell her. Ginny took his silence as a bad sign.

"JUST TELL ME HARRY, NOTHING COULD POSSIBLE BE AS BAD AS THE THINGS I'M IMAIGING. WHAT WAS GOING ON IN YOUR FLAT TODAY, WHY ARE YOU BEING SO SECRETIVE!"

"I'M NOT BEING SECRETIVE. I JUST DON'T WANT TO RUIN THE SURPRISE."

"OF COURSE YOU'RE SECRETIVE, YOU ALWAYS HAVE BEEN. WE'VE HAD THIS ARGUEMENT BEFORE. YOU DON'T TELL ANYONE ANYTHING YOU DON'T WANT TO. YOU ALSO PROMISED ME HARRY THAT YOU WERE GOING TO BE BETTER ABOUT KEEPING THINGS FROM ME. NOW PLEASE JUST TELL ME WHAT'S GOING ON."

"WILL YOU MARRY ME GINNY WEASLEY?"

"WHAT, what are you talking about Harry?"

Harry took a step towards Ginny, "I've been taking dance lessons, everyone in your family tried to teach me, it wasn't going well so as a last resort Fleur asked Gabrielle to teach me since she's in town for Vic's birthday. I was planning on proposing to you tonight. If I've been odd lately it's because proposing is a bit nerve wracking, after all it's not like I already know your answer or anything. I didn't want to ruin the surprise."

Ginny took a step towards Harry closing the gap between them, "well then we should get home, we have a date to get ready for." Ginny gave Harry a chaste kiss on the lips, "And Harry, when you ask tonight, I'm going to say yes."

Harry smiled back at her, "well that does take some of the pressure off; I'll pick you up at six?"

Ginny nodded and with a quick kiss and a wink was off headed home to get ready. Harry turned and with a pop was back in his flat. Once he put his, flat back in order he set about getting dressed for dinner.

Ginny walked back through the door of the Burrow and was faced with her family. Before they could speak, Ginny raised her hand to silence them. "Everything is fine, Harry explained everything. Although why didn't anyone tell me when I got home today that Harry was trying to learn to dance?" With a smile, Ginny hurried up the stairs to get ready for her date. The Weasley's sat back with expressions of relief on their faces. Mrs. Weasley, Hermione, Angelina, Audrey, and Fleur all headed upstairs to help Ginny get ready.

The Weasley men sat and stared at each other a realization dawning on them. Bill was the first to vocalize their collective thought, "Our Ginny is going to get married, I don't think I'm ready for this." He saw agreement in the eyes of all his male relatives except one, "Why don't you look freaked out Ron?"

Ron smiled at his brother, "Make no mistake Bill, I am freaked out I tried not to think about the day we'd have to give our little sister away, but who could possibly be better? Harry makes Ginny happy, he loves her, he supports her in everything she does, he makes her feel safe, and he's probably the only person who can ever understand what she went through with Riddle's diary her first year. On the flip side, I'm not entirely sure Harry really knew how to be happy before he met Ginny. Ginny can make Harry laugh when no one else can; she to an extent understands what he's been through. She loves him for who he is not because he's Harry Potter. And she supports him and helps Harry to be the best version of himself he can. Are they a perfect couple, no, but no one is a perfect couple. They'll fight, they both have nasty tempers, but they love each other. If they've managed to make this work so far, they'll make it work in the long run too. Ginny and Harry don't exactly work normal hours. I've seen Ginny get up early and Harry stay up late after a night shift so they could have a breakfast date because otherwise they wouldn't get to see each other all week. They have more means of communication then almost any other couple I've ever seen because if they didn't they wouldn't get to see each other very often. Yes, it makes me nervous that we're letting Ginny get married, but she and Harry are going to be very happy with each other. This love that they have will be a really beautiful part of their lives."

The Weasley men stared at Ron in shock. Arthur beamed at his son, "Ronald that was a very mature and well thought out answer." Ron smiled sheepishly, "Well I have been hanging around Hermione for ten years something was bound to rub off sometime."

Mrs. Weasley and the girls stepped back to look at Ginny, what they saw took their breath away. Mrs. Weasley brushed tears from her eyes, "You look beautiful dear." There were nods of agreement from the other women. Ginny smiled, "Well it's not every day the man you love asks you to marry him, so I wanted to look special." Hermione stared at Ginny in shock, "How did you know?"

Ginny smiled, "Harry told me earlier actually he sort of shouted it at me while we were arguing. I told him when he asked me later I was going to say yes." Ginny wanted to cover her ears when she heard the sounds that were coming out of the other women in the room. Soon she was enveloped in a hug. Finally, Ginny extracted herself and looked at the clock it was 5:55 exactly she should head downstairs.

Harry walked up to the burrow trying and failing to flatten his hair. He walked through the door and found himself face to face with all the Weasley men. He smiled nervously at them all. Soon the women filed downstairs followed by Ginny. She took Harry's breath away she truly was the most beautiful woman in the world. Ginny took Harry's arm and under the watchful eyes of their family, they made their way down the path from the Burrow.

Ginny was quiet until they arrived at their destination. It was the cutest restaurant she had ever seen, and it seemed to have an open-air patio lined with twinkle lights for dancing. "Harry it's beautiful."

Harry smiled at Ginny; you'll still be the most beautiful thing I see tonight."

Ginny blushed, "Well you're looking pretty good yourself Mr. Potter."

Harry offered his arm to Ginny and they made their way into the restaurant, once they were seated Ginny smiled across the table at Harry, "I'm sorry for getting so upset with you this afternoon love, I guess I just saw you with Gabrielle and assumed you'd found someone better."

Harry shook his head, "We are quite the pair Ginny, the reason why I was having so much trouble learning to dance in the first place was because every time I thought about proposing I remembered my aunt telling me I was a freak that no one could love. I was so sure you'd realize that and find someone better. But you Ginny, there is no one else for me."

Ginny smiled across the table at Harry, "First off you are not a freak and many people love you. Second, is that I have been in love with you since I was a little girl Harry there is no one else for me either."

They clasped hands from across the table and all too soon dinner was done and it was time for Harry to show off his new dancing skills. He was still a bit clumsy, but Ginny didn't seem to notice. Harry lost track of the number of hours they spent in each other's arms swaying gently to the music. Finally, it was time to go; Harry led Ginny into the park with all the twinkle lights. Ginny loved twinkle lights, and there underneath a tree sparkling with a thousand tiny little light bulbs Harry got down on one knee.

"Ginny Weasley, you are the most amazing woman I have ever met. You are funny and smart and beautiful, and you have one heck of a bat bogey hex. I can't imagine spending the rest of my life without you. Will you marry me Gin, let's build a life together."

Ginny pulled Harry up to his feet and wrapped her arms around his neck, "yes" she whispered before her lips found his in their first proper kiss of the evening. They would still have to tell her family, the planning would be chaos, but they would survive this process because they would do it together. Ginny broke away from Harry and pressed her forehead against Harry's, "you know love, this is going to be a circus, we should probably just elope." Harry laughed, "You're right love, but your mother would kill us, and I have a feeling we should leave the elopement to George and Angelina."

Arm in arm they walked through the park enjoying these precious moments before everything went crazy. They would take this next big step together.
