The young red head blinked away the tears. She knew being pessimistic about life wouldn't get her anywhere. Things were how they were for a reason. All she could do was fight, fight for what she wanted. What she wanted was to love freely. She couldn't do so now. That horrible man would steal it away from her. She could never give him the satisfaction of doing so.
He knew the same thing. He knew what he had to do. He was the chosen one. Harry Potter lived on so he could kill the evil lord. This was not the life he truly wanted to live, but matters were out of his hands. If he could just stay like this, with her, forever, he would be the happiest man alive.
He took his hand out of hers and draped it over her slender shoulders. Finding the right words to say he finally said what he has always wanted to say.
"Ginny.." he whispered. His voice a bit rough. "I could wait for this forever, if that is how long I would have to wait."
She looked over at him, her brown eyes getting a bit teary. She smiled slightly and kissed him on the cheek. He knew that she would wait also. They were meant to be.
