15. The Proposal

Harry made his way towards the Burrow nervously. He had been avoiding Ginny because he didn't want her to see how broken and weak he was, but he couldn't hold it in any longer. He wanted her. He needed her.

"Hey mate", Ron greeted. He moved aside and gestured him forward. Harry entered and saw Molly doing the dishes.

" Hello, Mrs. Weasley. ", he greeted.

" Harry! How nice of you to come!  I've been asking Ron to invite you over since forever."

" I've been a little busy lately", Harry said sheepishly and rubbed his neck.

"Of course dear. I'll call Ginny", she gave him a knowing smile and walked away. Ron chuckled. " Mum loves you mate, ever since Fred left us, mum's insisting I invite you over. I reckon she's taken you as her 7th son."

" But I can't be her son!", Harry exclaimed and pretended and put a hand on his heart. Ron frowned in confusion.

"That would make me Ginny's brother!"

Ron rolled his eyes and Harry felt a smack on his head. But it wasn't Ron who had smacked him. He turned around and inhaled sharply.

" Ginny. ", he breathed.

" How nice of you to finally show up!", she rolled her eyes but hugged him anyway. Harry returned the hug and held her close to him. To his chest. To his heart.

"Mhmmm", he hummed. He finally felt alive. He wondered why he hadn't come to her before. Only she could have this kind of effect on her.

Ginny pulled away and kissed him.

Ron growled. "Get a room you both! ", he sounded horrified.  Ginny pulled away and glared at Ron. " You can leave if you don't want to see", she rolled her eyes. Harry chuckled.
" Yeah Ron,  go on.  Leave. Give us some privacy. "

Ron scowled. "No, I won't leave.", he stated

Ginny attached her lips to Harry's once again and Ron groaned.

" Fine! I'm leaving!", he snapped.

Harry chuckled lightly and pressed his forehead against hers.

"I've missed you", he sighed, finally content to be in the arms of his love.

" Mr. Malfoy, I would like you to crush these leeches for me.",  Healer Brandon said as he walked around the counter and placed the leeches next to the cauldron.

Draco nodded and began crushing them. It had been 2 days since the healers had arrived and Draco was working day and night with them to brew a potion for Hermione.

Two hours later, they were almost done for the day when Narcissa called Draco to the lounge. Draco left the room which he had transformed into a lab and made his way towards the lounge.

" Yes mother? ", he asked.

" Mr. Potter wants to talk to you. It seemed urgent. "

Draco nodded and disapparated.  He appeared in Harry's house.

"Potter", he voiced.

" Potter!", he tried again.

Nothing.

Then he heard shuffling sound from the balcony. Draco pushed the curtain aside and saw that Harry was sitting on the swing which he had put up for Teddy. Draco sighed and walked towards him.

"What is it, Potter? ", he asked once he reached him.

Harry jumped up and then scowled. " You gave me quite a scare Malfoy"
