28. Nox

Wands lit, Harry and Ginny were walking up a hill. It was Ginny’s birthday, and they had decided to take a moon-lit walk, after their romantic dinner. The moon was unfortunately not out tonight, because of the clouds, so the pair used their wands so that they could see. They made it to a tree and decided to sit under it for a while. “Nox,” they both whispered, their lights extinguishing. Harry took Ginny in his arms as they talked about was going on in their lives. When they we’re done talking they just lay next to each other content with their lives. It was getting late and they decided that they needed to head for home. Stretching, they stood up and apparated home.

Two nights later Harry realized how much he loved Ginny.

“Where are we going?” Ginny, who was blind folded, asked for the third time. “You’ll see,” Harry responded.
They reached the top of the hill, “Nox” he said, so that they were only under the light of the moon.
Removing Ginny’s blindfold, Harry got on one knee. Holding out a ring, Harry asked “Will you marry me?”
“Yes” Ginny responded, tears falling from her eyes.
