"I don't see what is the problem, mate." Ron shifted on his chair and propped his feet on his desk.

"You spent a year camping with Hermione. I've not had a lot of time with Ginny. Besides, she's your sister. I'm not about to call her any names that might give your brothers ideas." Harry slumped lower on his chair.

"It's easy, Harry, you take her out for a picnic. Ginny loves nature. After a quiet meal alone, you get next to her. You whisper a few sweet nothings, maybe call her darling or dear, then you pop the question." Ron grinned at Harry. "You know she likes you, she's always blushing when you are near."

"Seriously, Ron, whenever I try to talk with her, I can't think, words sort of tumble out." Harry sighed. "And they never make any sense."

"I promise, I will get George out of the shop. You go in, ask Ginny to meet you near Hogsmeade or some other remote location. Pack a picnic and ask her."

"Right, I'll do just that." Harry stood up and started to leave their office.

"It's a bit early for us to leave work," Ron commented.

"I need to…oh, never mind," Harry blurted and fled from the room

"Oi, don't you be wanking while thinking about my sister," Ron called out.

"Git!" Harry's reply drifted into the room.

Ron fell out of his chair laughing.
