Joss and Tara this is for you. Love you.

This story is based on the nineteen years between the last chapter and the epilogue. My story begins a few weeks after all the funerals of Fred, Lupin, Tonks, Snape, and Moody. It was the Friday before all the students retuned to Hogwarts.

There was a street party on Diagon alley to celebrate the death of the Voldemort. The liquor was flowing and everyone had drunk far too much, including our beloved friends Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger, who were in the Leaky Cauldron with Harry and Ginny.

"You know I don't get drunk very often" Hermione managed to squeeze between hiccups

"I know we have been best mates for-" a very intoxicated Ron counted on his fingers "seven years!" Ron announced, grinning like a fool, looking and Hermione's mouth with a lusty hunger. Hermione tried to move her mouth closer to Ron's, but being so intoxicated she did not realize that he too moved his head at the same time and she proceed to hit her head against Ron's and the two separated and rubbed their foreheads. They looked up for moment locked eyes and kissed, it was a sloppy kiss made only more sickening when Ron thrust his tongue into Hermione's mouth. The two headed up the stairs towards the rooms upstairs. The kissing couple were bumping into walls and trying all the doors though they seem to be locked in their drunken state. At the very end of the hall they saw that their was a door open, and like two giddy school children they raced to the room. Once in the room they rapidly tore clothes from each others bodies. As the last of the clothes hit the ground Ron found his way back to Hermione and he pushed her towards the bed, the side of the bed hit the back of the legs and she and Ron both collapsed onto the bed which gave an ungrateful creak. They laughed together as they tormented each others bodies. Hermione rolled out of bed for a minute to locate her wand and do a quick contraceptive charm, though when she retuned to the bed she found a sight that wasn't quite the greeting she expected, Ron was lay spread eagled on the bed snoring. Hermione thought that it was, perhaps, all the alcohol that he had consumed. Deciding that she was going to go back to the home that she shared with her friends (must I really tell you that they all lived together at 12 Grimmauld Place) she gathered her shirt shoes and pants, thinking it would be more exciting if she left her underwear behind as a gift.

Down stairs Ginny and Harry were another story, both were sitting on a couch, as usual it was Ginny that made the first move by stroking Harry's leg, her hand slowly crept to the inside of his leg then made his way up to the bulge in his pants. Then as the night carried on and each consumed more alcohol the touching barrier seemed to diminish, they were in a lip lock for most of the remaining night. Ginny pulled Harry close to her and whispered "I'm going to be in a room upstairs in ten minutes come and find me." before giving Harry one last passionate kiss before leaving.

Harry watched her go up the stairs; Ginny got to the top of the stairs and blew Harry a kiss. He smiled he had missed Ginny so much during the war, though he never realized while he was away from her. He truly wanted to marry Ginny and the sooner the better. At that thought he got up and headed out to Diagon alley to the first jewellery store he saw. He opened the door and let out a breath that he had not realized that he was holding, though only now he could feel that he had been holding it for a long time. Then he saw it, it was perfect. He approached the jeweller and asked to see the ring. It was a beautiful ring, White gold, and goblin rubies and diamond. The diamond was a princess cut and in the middle of two emeralds that would match's Ginny's hair beautifully. Harry had to have it for her "How much?" he asked pointing at the ring in question. "This, sir, costs 751 hundred Galleons, beautiful choice might I add." The jeweller replied skilfully as though well rehearsed, which it probably was. Harry gave the man his coin bag (it seems that saving the whole magical world comes with a very nice compensation). When the jeweller returned the bag Harry noticed it seemed to weigh considerably less "Thank you" Harry said before he walked out the store "No, Thank you Mister Potter" The man said with a genuine smile on his face.

Harry hurried back to the pub Ginny was expecting him. He ran as fast as he could up the stairs, when he got the top Harry released that finding which room Ginny was in was going to be the difficult part. Well he tried the first the door which was locked, the second as well, it was not until he reached the third that he found it unlocked. Harry let out a breath he gave him self a mental pep talk, and then walked in.

"Holy fuckin' shit… Oh my God. I'm sorry" Harry ran out of the room, he had hoped that Neville wouldn't be a virgin to the day that he died but he also hoped that he would never walk in on him and Luna. After the shock had worn off and his heart beat had steadied he continued checking all the doors, this time a little more cautiously. Harry found that it wasn't until about the tenth door that he tried that opened and revealed Ginny. He walked in as Ginny ran at him.

"I thought that you weren't going to come" she said between sloppy kisses.

"Ginny how could I not come, I just a little held up I walked into the wrong room and saw Luna and Neville going at like…oh!" Harry couldn't finish his sentence Ginny had reached down the front of his pants and massaged his now rock hard member. The couple tittered over to the bed. Before he was stripped of his pants he pulled out his wand and locked the door and put silencing charm on the room. Ginny did her own type magic Harry could only guess what it was for. As he and Ginny got more into each other Harry could no longer hold back the words that were trying to escape his mouth

"Ginny I love you, I always have" he whispered them in her ear for only her to hear. "Harry I love you too" At the moment Ginny remembered that this must be the first time that he had ever heard those words directed at him.

"You're in love with me?" Harry asked her perfectly seriously.

"Yes" Ginny giggled. Harry kissed her so passionately she could feel only happiness. Harry placed kisses on her jaw line, when he was met with an ear lobe he nibbled it gently. Harry heard a moan come from Ginny's throat. He moved to her collar bone massaging it with his tongue, it was soothing her yet her blood was boiling with arousal. Harry reached around and ran his hand up and down her spine sending shivers of pleasure through her. He met the resistance of her bra against his hand, skilfully unclipping the clasp Harry pulled the straps down her arms until her soft milky flesh offered itself to him. Harry couldn't help himself "Ginny you're so beautiful", after finishing this statement he took one of her swollen nipples into his mouth and suckled on the luscious flesh as if it was his life source. Ginny let out a sensual moan; she had to have Harry in her before she lost her mind. She ripped his shirt off throwing it to the floor, she traced patterns over his body his chest was well formed and beautiful. Her hands travelled down his sensitive love trail, as she reached his belt she took it off and pulled his pants down. Harry had let the nipple out of his mouth and was returning back to her mouth which was now inflamed by the new found passion, his hands were trying to quickly take off her pants.

"Ginny are you sure you want to do this" Harry had ask her, he didn't want to push her into something that she didn't want to do

. "Harry you are the only person that I ever want make love with." She kissed on the mouth in reassurance. She pulled his pants down, and proceeded to do the same with his boxers. Harry pulled her underwear down; he kissed her thigh the higher he got the more her body arched forward pushing into his touch. When he reached the core of her womanhood, all that he could do was grin, and stick out his tongue and flick her most sensitive spot.

"Harry mmmmm…" Harry continued to wickedly taunt Ginny with his tongue. Just before she was about to reach her climax Harry stopped. He wanted to be in her when she came.

"Are you ready?" He asked positioning himself.

"Yes, just take me" Ginny screamed her body was still shaking for her near orgasmic experience. The second that Harry entered her, his eyes rolled into the back of his head; he could never have imagined that this amount pleasure was ever attainable. He broke through the barrier that made him Ginny's first, he thrust deep into her, cautious of hurting her he slowed. Harry saw pain etched on her face but only for a second before he saw her eyes cloud with pleasure. He thrust back into her, his movements were slow but they were a sensual haze that was so powerful. Her tight core surrounded and it was nearly his undoing, he could not hold off much longer his thrusts became deeper and more fluid. Ginny flipped him on his back so that she was on top, she pumped her hips forward

"Gin, do that again!". Ginny cried out in pleasure as her organism neared. Harry could feel his near too; with one final thrust let him self come deep in her. Harry wrapped his arms around her and pulled her to his side so that her head was in the crook of his arm and her body pressed perfectly against his.

"I love you, and I'm never going to get tired of saying it and I want to spend the rest of my life telling you that, Ginny will … marry me?" She looked up at him and there was shock on her face then it turned to a smile.

"Yes, of course I will, Harry I love you." She kissed him passionately. Harry pulled away from her, smiling then reached for his pants which were at the end of the bed, he pulled out the ring that he had bought earlier and put it on her finger

"Harry it's beautiful, silly that's the wrong hand" He tried to put it on her right hand. Once the ring was in place the happy couple snuggled close and fell asleep in each others arms.

Hermione got back to the flat in one piece which was amazing considering how much alcohol she had consumed. She threw her coat over the back of the nearest chair, and staggered up the stairs. She made it to the room, ripped off her clothes and tumbled into bed in naked. Whenever she had alcohol in her blood she slept well. When she woke the sun was high in the sky. Her head was aching when she tried to look outside her headache only got worse, she covered her sore eyes with a pillow trying to hide from the light. As her body started to wake up she realized that she was not wearing any clothes, she remembered then that she left a sleeping Ron. She let out a stifled giggle "I can't believe that I did that". Hermione got out of her bed and walked to her bathroom, she turned the shower on before she stepping in. The water was hot against her skin, and was waking up her body more every second.

Ron rolled over in his sleep; he rolled right off the edge of the bed. The second that he hit the floor he jolted to life, he looked around and for a moment and was scared by the unfamiliar surroundings. While he was sleeping the blankets had managed to cocoon themselves around him and he found himself trapped.

He stood up holding the sheets around his waist and trying to avoid falling, surveying the room. His clothes were in all corners of the room, he had obviously had sex with someone last night if only he could remember who. The trace that he could find that someone else had been there was a pair of purple lace underwear. He grabbed them put them in his pocket of his jeans, gathered all his clothes and apparated back to Grimmauld place. Landing directly to his room, there he found a folder and put the underwear in side. Ron then set out to find Kreacher. Ron found the house elf serving tea to Hermione in the library.

"Kreacher" Ron called out sternly

"Yes, Master Weasley?" Kreacher bowed.

"Give these to there owner, then come back and tell me who's they are." Ron handed the elf the package, the elf looked inside nodded. The elf then proceeded to walk over to Hermione and give her underwear back.

"Kreacher, I told you, you are to give them back to the person to whom they belong." Ron spat at the elf.

"Sir, Kreacher is giving them back to there owner, they belong to Mistress Granger." Kreacher handed the package to Hermione then bowed and left the room.

"Ron, what's this" Hermione knew what it was but she thought that she would have a little fun with before she would admit to everything.

"Oh my God, Ron where did you find these, I thought that I lost them last night and I couldn't remember where" She shoved them into jeans

"Those are yours?" Ron looked like he was going to be sick.

"Yeah, where did you get them" Hermione tried to surprise a giggle.

"What's so funny? I don't know where I got them when I woke up they were in my room. Where did you spend the night last night?" Ron looked at her curiously

"I was here all night. Alone." Hermione quickly added once she saw Ron's face turn red. "Well thank you for returning them" She went up to kiss him on the nose, but that was all that Ron needed he grabbed he arms, pulled her close, then with such tenderness kissed her. Hermione was so shocked she hadn't known what to do; her body was stiff with surprise but as the kiss grew more passionate she relaxed and let Ron lift her off her feet so she was level with him. This kiss was not like the one that they had shared in the class, quick and passionless, this was ground breaking.

Hermione peeled her mouth from his "that was wonderful but I really do have to head off to my parents', we are going to have lunch at one of my favourite restaurants." She kissed him once more before she dashed out the door.

Ron looked shell shocked; he couldn't believe what had just happened. He thought about last night he knew that they had gone up together to find a room, but he couldn't remember anything after that. What the fuck had happened last night?

Ginny woke up like it was Christmas morning, she and Harry made love then they got engaged it had been a big night for her. She rolled over and snuggled closer to Harry, she loved the way that he looked while he was sleeping. His body was warm against hers, as she snuggled into his chest one of Harry's arms came over and wrapped around her waist pulling her closer.

"Morning" She whispered as she trailed kisses down his chest.

Harry who had been up and watching Ginny sleep surprised her by flipping her over and lying on top of her.

"I have been up for an hour already watching you sleep" He kissed her nose.

"What do we want to do today? We could go back to your house and just lay around for a little" She stroked his arms with the back of her hands.

"I would love to but first I have stop by my aunt's house and get a few things that I left there, then we can do what ever you want for the whole day. We could see a movie or something if you wanted."

"What's a movie?" She looked up at him strangely

"Oh it's, a muggle thing that people watch to entertain themselves." He said as he rolled off of her.

"Sound's like fun, you know Harry if you want me to I can go to aunt's house with you." She sat up and reached for bra, which was wrapped around the lamp.

"If you don't want to come it's ok Gin." Harry was wondering around the room looking for his shirt, which Ginny was sitting on.

"Harry I want to go, because I love you and you are going to need support to do this." He came over to her and took her hand in his.

"The only thing is that they may say some cruel things about you." He kissed her hands.

"It's ok, I want to go, and besides you can't make me stay." She smiled at him coyly

"I love you, do you know that, and I'm never going to get tired of saying it." He kissed her on the forehead "Gin, have you seen my shirt?"

After the two were fully changed and had eaten their share of eggs and toast. They hailed a cab (A/N: I know that they could apparated but it's a muggle populated area). The cab took about twenty minutes, Harry meant to tell her what they would be getting from his Aunt's house but Ginny was infatuated with being in a real muggle vehicle that it was like talking to a wall. Once the cab pulled up in front of the house Harry and Ginny got out. Harry looked at the large front window of the house, looking back at him were two beady eyes out of the front window. They walked hand in hand up the walk and knocked on the front door. The door opened to reveal….

That is the end of the chapter until I get at least five reviews from people. If you have ideas of how you want the story to end tell me many we can hook something up. Remember at least 5 reviews before the next chapter!!
