A New Beginning

The Perfect Opportunity

     "Well, of course, you can marry her! I've always known that you were the one for her since she met you you were the only one she talked about she never liked Dean of Micheal it was only to make you jealous. Harry, you are the one for her." Harry felt a wave of relief wash over him, even though he knew that Mr. Weasley couldn't say no, he was nervous. "Do you have a ring yet? We can totally help you find one." "Oh no Mr. Weasley that won't be necessary, I found one while I was looking around my house, apparently when Sirius went to Godric's Hollow he found my mother's ring and concealed it at Grimmauld Place with the idea that he could give it to me when I was going to propose to someone." This story always made Harry tear up, the fact that the ring in his bag was the one that his father gave to his mother and that his mother wore for only a few years. "Well Harry, that seems like a touching story and I am so glad that out of everyone that could have my daughter, I'm glad it was you." Mr. Weasley's words meant the world to him. The whole way back the two of them talked about potential places but by the time they were back they hadn't come up with anything. "Well Harry, you can stay in Ron's old room, well unless..." He trailed off obviously wondering if he would be spending the night with Ginny, Harry was wondering the same thing. He decided to play it safe and just stay in Ron's room unless Ginny wanted him to come with her. Obviously there would be no way to stay with her because her bed was almost too small for just her. As he was getting unpacked there was a knock on the door and sure enough it was Ginny. "Hey Harry, can you come with me quickly?" She seemed shy and Harry wasn't used to this and something struck him, "did she know what was going to happen? Did she overhear him and Mr. Weasley the night before?" He followed her anyway and they went into her room, she had redone her room and she had gotten a bigger bed, this scared Harry but instead she pulled the Gwenog Jones photo off her wall and behind it was a large hole and she climbed through it. I followed her and it took us to a tiny room with cushy chairs and pillows, in the corner was a ladder and they climbed up to an area somewhat like an attic but she kept going to a hole in the roof and they climbed out onto the roof, she kept climbing until she got to the top and Harry followed her until he was on the top with her, there she lay down in a pile of blankets and pillows and Harry laid next to her. Harry thought to himself of what an amazing time this would be to propose but he had forgotten the ring inside. He promised himself that he would bring the ring with him every time he and Ginny were together. They spent all night up there, wrapped up in the blankets together. Harry and Ginny woke up early when the sun rose. They snuck back down into Ginny's room and then down the stairs for breakfast. "So Molly and I are headed into London today so you guys will have the house to yourselves, have fun!" As Mr. and Mrs. Weasley walked out the door Mr. Weasley turned to him and mouthed, "do it tonight." Harry was glad that Mr. and Mrs. Weasley were giving him this chance to set up the perfect proposal but Harry still didn't have any idea of what that would be. "Hey, Harry!" Ginny had broken him from his trance. "I put together a makeshift quidditch pitch out in the fields wanna go play?" Harry loved that he and Ginny shared this love for quidditch. "Sure, I made sure to bring my broomstick!" Harry knew that his quidditch days were over, no matter how much he loved his seven short seasons at Hogwarts. He hadn't bothered to replace his Firebolt and it was a bit rusty.
