"Harry" said Ron coming.
"Uh huh?"
"Well I've decided I'll propose to Hermione when you have your first kid."
"Why Ron? Isn't that a long time?" asked Harry.
"Well I am.." trailed off Ron.
"Worried?"
"No."
"Excited?"
"I dunno."
"Nervous?"
"I think so" said Ron.
Then they heard a CLASH in the stairs.
"Here comes Ginny.." said Ron.

Harry smiled.
"We finished picking out my robes," Ginny sighed with a smile. "Mum just couldn't make up her mind and she certainly wouldn't let me," she laughed.
She came to the table where Ron and Harry stood.
"I see these quills are busy," she joked. "How many more invitations are there?"
"Not many more, I don't think," replied Harry.
"And by the way," she grinned, "I heard you two talking. You should definitely ask Hermione to marry you.
"And I know how you should ask her," she said. She went to her brother and, hand cupped around Ron's ear, she told him the perfect setting (Three Broomsticks in Hogsmeade; for nostalgia) and the perfect way (Put the ring inside of a book [One of those that has a hole cut in the middle]).
Then Ginny retreated up the stairs. Her brother and her fiancé watched her go....

"I'm going upstairs to my uh room, Harry," said Ron as he began to hike the stairs.
"Okay," said Harry. He was staring, staring, staring...
He shook his head. The quills had now ceased their work and had dropped to the table. They adjusted themselves until they lay perfectly straight beside themselves before going limp.
"Hedwig! Pigwidgeon!" called Harry. The two owls landed on his arms- Pigwidgeon on his left, Hedwig on his right- before turning their smooth feathered heads to Harry for instruction.
"Go on, Hedwig, Pigwidgeon."
Harry divided the piles of letters in two. He walked to the window, flung it open, and balanced the piles on the sill. The owls obediently flew to the sill, plucked up one letter each in their claws, and flew off. They would return for another and then another once their current letter had been delivered.
Harry watched them fly off, their gleaming wings sparkling in the afternoon light, as he thought of his wife to be. They would marry in three days....

"Harry HArry HARRY!!!" she came crashing down the stairs.
"Yes Mrs. Weasley, whats wrong?" Harry asked.
"Kingsley Shacklebolt wants to see you. His patronus is in the living room!"

"Harry," his voice echoed as it had done when he appeared at Bill and Fleur's wedding. "Harry, McGonnagol has been killed by Lucious Malfoy!"
Harry was stunned into silence. One of his favorite teachers, one that he was very close to and one that had helped him on numerous accounts. She was gone. Killed by the enemy.
"Harry, I am sorry... I must go," Shacklebolt disappeared as suddenly as he had come.
Harry turned and began to go upstairs, to tell Ginny and Ron. His fingers gripped the rail so tightly that his fingers turned white....

"Wow, Ginny did you see that punch?..." he turned and saw Harry. "Hiya, Harry, what's up?"
"What happened?" asked Ginny quietly. She had become very good at reading Harry's numerous expressions. She could tell he was upset because he was furiously wiping his glasses.
"Here," Ginny said. Harry held out the glasses.
Drawing her wand from her sweatshirt's pocket, Ginny said, "Occulous Repairo," and the glasses snapped into perfect cleanliness.
"Wow, Ginny, don't turn into Hermione now," Ron joked. Ginny ignored his comment.
"Thanks," Harry whispered. He was quiet a moment.
Ron and Ginny waited.
Then he told them about what Kingsley had said....

"Oh my God...did you hear?"


"Hello, dearies-- Oh, sorry," her cheeks flamed red. She muttered "I came at a bad time," as she left the room.
"That rotten LUCIOUS MALFOY!" screamed Hermione once Mrs. Weasley was gone
Everyone looked at her in surprise. Hermione was generally a very calm person.....

"Why'd you cut your hair and shave your beard," asked Harry curiously.
"Really, I don't know. I was easy though, i just used my wand."
"Um...Harry, yeah, I think I'm going to propose to Hermione...maybe...I don't know," Ron said
"That would be great," Ron and Harry turned their heads to see Ginny coming down the stairs.
"I really would," she said.
Ron simply sighed.
"Oh my God, RON," said Hermione as she came down the stairs right that minute.
"Your hair! Your no longer beard! About time! You look much more handsome. No longer like a cave man." She hugged Ron and kissed him.
"Geez, I thought I told you guys at the end of our sixth year, to keep your snogging to a minimum," said Harry then laughed.

"So, " Ginny said. "When is the funeral? For McGonnagal?"
No one wanted to talk about it, but it was something that needed to be discussed.
"Dad said it is the day after your wedding," Ron answered. "So the day after tomorrow."
All was quiet.
Hedwig flew to them and perched on the end of the table. He looked around impatiently as if to say, "Come on, people, look at me!"
Pigwidgeon soon joined him...

"Morning," they all said at once.
"I'm going to call my mum and dad," said Hermione.
"Well, dear, how can you do that? We don't have a muggle phone in the house," said Mrs. Weasley
"It's okay, I've got an iPhone," replied Hermione.
"What's that," asked Mrs. Weasley.
"It's a....," Hermione was trying to figure out a way she could explain this to a witch who didn't grow up with Muggles. "It's a...potable phone...,"Hermione hoped she had that right.
"Oh, okay." Said Mrs. Weasley. Hermione went back upstairs to call her parents and Mrs. Weasly started to cook breakfast.
Once Hermione was out of earshot Ginny started to talk,"Ron, you really should propose. I was talking to her about getting married and stuff, and she looked a bit sad. She even asked me, 'do think Ron's going to ever ask me to marry him.?' I shouldn't be telling you two this but, you need to know Ronald. She even told me she feels as though you really don't love her and that plan on breaking up with her. She thinks that if you're not proposing, then you might be breaking. She even cried," Ginny stopped ther.
"I don't know if I'm even ready for marriage and kids," Ron moaned.
"Ron you guys have dating for two years already.
said Harry
"I feel as though Hermione's my sister I really would hate to be upset at my wedding because her boyfriend who is also her best friend hasn't 'popped the question'." Finished Harry.
"I know.
said Ron.
"I really do love her. I have been thinking about it. I mean...yeah...I am going to propose," said Ron now smiling.
"Not when Ginny and I have our first kid," asked Harry.
"No. But Harry, you have to come with to get her. You know, we should go today....and I'll propose to her tonight! I'm to get her a ring with a vine sourounding it, to match her wand. She'll love!"
((Follow this link to see what the ring would look like:

"Okay, now THAT'S a bit quick...I didn't mean that quick," said Harry.
"Too bad," said Ron "Let's go"
"Now," asked Harry.
"No not now, tomorrow," said Ron sarcasticaly, "Of course now! Geez," Ron sighed.
"We'll be back," Ron hollered to his mum, in the kitchen.
Ron and Harry disapperated and were gone.
Hermione came back down stairs, into the kitchen where Ginny had moved to talk with her mum.
"Um...where's Ron and Harry," she asked suspiciously.
"Um, I...don't...um...know. Yeah, I don't know,:" said Ginny.
"Okay then," said Hermione. She had a feeling Ginny was hiding something.
"What should I make for dinner," Mrs. Weasley asked.
"Make a light dinner so we can all go to the three broomsticks later on...to get some butterbeer...yeah...that'll be our...dessert," Ginny nodded to to herself thinking how great tonight was going to be. Mrs. Weasly didn't know that Ron was going to propose tonight so she looed just as confused as Hermione.


"Four butterbeers please," said Hermione to the waiter.
"Ok," said the waiter and left.
"Oh, look, I can't belive it! It's Lavender Brown and, some guy," Hermione frowned. When Brown started to date Ron, she really did not like.
"Oh, no," Ron tensed up as he said this. "Not HER!"
Both Ginny and Harry were hoping this would not stop Ron from proposing.
Then Lavender started toward their table leaving the guy she was with behind at their table.
"Hello! Harry, Ginny, I got your invitation! Congragulations," said Lavender.
"Oh, hi...Won, Won! Just kidding! Hi, Hermione," said Lavender.
"Hello," said Ron, while Hermione simply smiled.
"Well just came by to say Hi. See you at the Wedding!" And she went back to her able.
Then the four were served their Butterbears.
"Hermione," said Ron.
"Yes," said Hermione.
Ron got up and told Hermione to get up.
"Okay," said Hermione and she got up.

"No dear," sighed Molly. "I don't think so. I have a massive headache and I think I will go take a nap."
"Okay, Mum. Feel better soon," Ron said.
Then the four of them apparated off to the Three Broomsticks, a place in Hogsmeade that had held many good times for the four of them.
They sat at a table and while they waited to be served their butterbeers, Ron gave Harry a gentle kick under the table.
"Uh, I am going to go use the bathroom," said Harry as he rose.
Ginny took that as her signal, and she said, "Oh, I forgot my wallet at home, and I'm going to pay for our drinks! I'm going outside to summon it," she said.
So while Harry 'used the bathroom' and Ginny actually said, "Accio Wallet!" (she really had forgotten it), Ron took his sister's advice and handed Hermione what he said was "a very good book that you would like, Hermione, open it," (at which he recieved a suspicious look; he didn't like to read.)
"Ron!" Hermione cried. Her face was positively radiating.
"Will you..." asked Ron.
In answer, Hermione flung her arms around Ron's neck.
Ginny watched from the door and Harry from the door to the loo. Each had a smile on their faces.
But Ron's smile was the biggest of all.

"Hermione, I love you so much and I would love to spend the rest of my life with you. And I hope you would to, so all I have to ask you is, will you marry me?" Ron took out a little box and opened it reavealing a stunning ring.
"Ron...of course I'll marry you," said Hermione who had tears rolling down hear cheeks.
"Well, that's a releif," said Ron, and Hermione laughed along with the everone else. Ron put the ring on Hermione's ring finger, and she looked at it.
"Oh my gosh, It's beautiful...and the vines..." Ron got up. "I love you so much Ronald!" Hermione said and put her arms around his neck and kissed him full on the lips, and everyone in The Three Broomsticks clapped.

The next day the rest of the Weasley family showed up and with them the running and flustering about that made the house full of chaos. Bill and Fleur with their daughter Victorie came by floo powder; puffing out through the fireplace, George and Angelina flew in on broomsticks; much to Mrs. Weasley’s displeasure, and Charlie and Percy apparated in the garden.
After breakfast Mrs. Weasley shooed all of the boys out of the kitchen, leaving herself, Ginny, Hermoine and Luna who showed up in time to help with the cooking preparations. Hermoine galloped around the kitchen in her glee, waving her wand to send the whisks and mixing bowls flying around the room at too fast a pace.

"IT's okay, Molly, the Wrackspurts are protecting her," said Luna mystically.



"Oh, It's okay, Hermione. I was happy when Arthur proposed," Mrs. Weasley said.

I think we should continue writing from Harry's perspective, but in third person, like J.K Rowling.
I will start...
The Weasley's kitchen table was covered in white envelopes, each with a neatly folded piece of parchment inside. Three quills floated above them, addressing them without a hand. Harry leaned over the table and studied some that had already been addressed. Written in perfect script, were names like: Professor Neville Longbottom, Mr. and Mrs. George and Angelina Weasley, Ms. Luna Lovegood, and Professor Horace Slughorn.
Behind him, Harry heard the creaking of the stairs. Ron appeared beside him.
“What are you doing down here?” said Harry.
“Mum sent me down here to keep you occupied. You are not allowed upstairs.” Ron replied.
“Why not?”
“Ginny’s trying on her dress robes. There’s some stupid rule about the groom not seeing them till the day of.” said Ron.“Ouch, that’s going to be awkward.” He pointed a finger to an envelope addressed to Ms. Cho Chang.
“I know, but Ginny insisted on inviting everyone we were even remotely friendly with at school. And, you were a little more than friendly with this one.” Harry pointed to an envelope one of the quills was writing out now: Ms. Lavender Brown.
“Aw, Harry come on, why did you have to invite her to the wedding? It’s going to be torture!” cried Ron.
Ron looked different than when they were at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. He still wore his fiery red hair long, but red hair now formed itself into a beard on his chin. Ron was still taller than Harry, but he was more muscular now too. He was no longer the lanky boy who looked like his legs were too long for his body.
“So, when you going to ask her?” Harry asked.
“Who do you mean?”
“Hermione, of course.”
“Aw, I don’t know. You think she wants me too?”
“Ron! You’ve been dating for forever! Plus, I think she’s wanted you to ask her to marry you since she sent those birds to attack you in our sixth year.”
“Yeah, I guess you’re right.”
Ron walked away with a laughing to himself and Harry continued to watch the quills hove by themselves above the envelopes that would soon bring many, many, people to The Burrow.
