Homely Pocket

Chapter 1

There was no time to fill the void in everyone's hearts from the tragedy of the war killing the ones who they were close to. Harry never seemed to truly be happy unless he was with Ginny. Her flaming red hair and rosy soft cheeks were what brought joy to his eyes. She is the one thing that fills this void in his heart. Harry believes that she's the only real thing in this world.

Harry was terrified of losing Ginny again after a few years had passed since the war. He felt terrible for having left her a few years back even though Ginny completely understood and forgave him instantaneously. Harry looked down at his pants pocket and felt the ring that had settled in what it seemed like a permanent home. Harry had been carrying this ring around for several months always waiting to come out of his pocket and be placed on a finger. Ginny began to have her doubts. Ginny thought, well maybe he doesn't want to be with me after all. Harry has been afraid of asking Ginny, because he's afraid that she isn't ready for the commitment and worried she might leave him. Yet, Harry still carried the ring around in his pocket hoping he would just blurt it all out to her some day and pluck the courage to ask her.

Ginny was far away from Harry at this time, being that she was playing in a tournament for the Holyhead Harpies. Harry had to stay behind because of his duties as an Auror. Realizing the big void in his heart again since he hasn't been with Ginny for awhile now. He decides to stop being a coward and just ask. He needed Ginny in his life and he knew he had to ask her so she would stay a part of his life.

Harry instantly aparated to the quidditch game where his beloved Ginny is playing. Ginny had no idea about Harry coming to watch her play. Harry had entered the game and sat high enough where Ginny would see him. As soon as Harry sat down the Holyheads scored. The chaser that made the goal was a beautiful red headed girl, it was Ginny. The crowed was cheering and Harry shouted "Ginny!" Through all of the shouting some how she heard a familiar voice shout out her name. She examined the crowd and found Harry smiling and waving up at her. Ginny smiled excitedly back at Harry. Ginny played the best game she had in awhile due to Harry surprising her. Ginny was playing her heart out to make Harry proud, meanwhile Harry was staring at his pocket seeing the roundness of the ring bulge through his pocket. Harry thought again, should I ask her? What will she think? Will she leave me if it's not what she wants? Harry looked back up seeing Ginny scored yet another goal. Harry whispered to himself "I need you Ginny."
