Harry stood there, not knowing what to say.

"Sorry mate, we were going to tell you but we didn't know how," Replied an awkward Ron.

"Who's the lucky guy?" asked Harry quietly after a long silence.

"Some guy from Ravenclaw in her year. Name's Kyle or something like that. Right fowl git if you as me though. Doesn't treat her half as well as you did" replied Ron rather quickly.

Harry smiled and looked at his best friend. "Thanks mate. Well I suppose it makes sense since I did go MIA on you guys right? How is she anyways?"

Quietly Hermione answered "She's fine. She's a prefect. She's taking courses to become an auror."

"That's great. Ginny really has everything going for her doesn't she?" said Harry as he stood to go. "Look Ron I'd hate to impose on you and your family and since this is short notice I'll go and find myself a room in Diagon Alley."

"What imposition. Harry you're practically family. You have to stay. Trust me, if you don't mum will have a fit! C'mon I'll help you take your thing to you're room," reacted Ron.

As the trio walked up the stairs to his room, Harry couldn't help notice all the pictures along the wall. They were random pictures of the family, but what surprised Harry was the picture he and Ginny took at the Yule ball his sixth year. Seeing the pictures reminded him of everything they'd had…and everything he'd lost.


"Kyle get off!" yelled a perturbed Ginny Weasly as she threw a young man off of her, "I'm trying to study!"

"Aw, c'mon Ginny, You're super smart so why do you have to study? You absorb anything the teachers say like a sponge" wined Kyle; a very handsome young man standing 6'1, with a lean body that was only acquired from hours of intense Quidditch practice and tan skin to match, sparkling blue-grey eyes, and wavy chocolate brown hair. With that he pulled a protesting Ginny towards him and began kissing her neck. Unfortunately she wasn't having it.

"GET OFF!" she yelled throwing the insatiable young man off. "I have to study because the new potions professor is teaching us how to brew Veritaserum and I still don't get it! Now if you won't behave Kyle I'm leaving!" she concluded as she stood and left the common room for the library muttering to her self.

Ginny had no idea what happened to Kyle. He used to be sweet and understanding and he used to listen to her when they talked. Lately it seemed all he wants to do is snog, and what's more, in the past few weeks he's been pressuring Ginny to sleep with him. Ginny knew she had to break up with him, but she just couldn't bring her self to do it. He'd been there for her after…after he disappeared. Ginny shook her head. It had been three months since he had vanished leaving behind the girl he had planned to marry.

By the time Ginny had reached the Library she was on the verge of tears. Making a quick run to the girl's lavatory Ginny splashed some cool water on her face. When she looked in the mirror she saw the locket he had given her for Christmas. Realizing that studying now was pointless, she ran back to Gryffindor tower and up to her room. Flinging her self on the bed she started to cry. She only stopped to open the dresser drawer and pull out a box. In it she found pictures of the two of them, some jewelry, the letter he'd sent her after he'd vanished, and a rose. To her surprise it was still blooming, and as beautiful as the day he gave it to her.

Flashback

Ginny ran down the stairs to meet Harry for their Hogsmead trip. It was Valentine's Day and Harry had planned a surprise for her, but he wouldn't tell her what it is. As she reached the Entrance hall, she saw Harry standing there waiting along with a bickering Ron and Hermione.

"Hey guys," she called as she approached the trio, "What did my dim brother do this time to set her off?" she asked Harry, giving him a peck on the lips.

"He said something about 'a woman's place is in the home' and she went off on him" replied a lovesick Harry.

"Well he deserves it" stated Hermione, turning her attention away from Ron, "don't you think so?"

"OK How about we save this for the trip, huh? Everyone's already leaving," interrupted Harry, "and I want to give Ginny her Valentine's Day surprise already."

As they set off, Hermione and Ron continued to bicker like an old married couple, but Harry and Ginny were so wrapped up in each other, they didn't even notice anyone else around them. They finally arrived in Hogsmead and Harry let go of Ginny's hand and told her he'd see her later.

"What about my surprise?" asked a confused Ginny.

"All in due time my dear. Oh, I almost forgot to give you this." replied Harry, handing her an envelope before he left.

"Ugh, boys!" sighed Ginny as she opened the envelope.

"Walk to the place where we unfortunately met Lockheart and ask the owner for a book on roses.

-Harry"

Confused, Ginny did as the note asked and went to Flourish and Blotts. When she arrived Ginny received the book and noticed it didn't close completely. Opening it, she found another envelope. In it she found a piece of paper with the number 3 on it, another note, and a bracelet with her and Harry's name engraved in a heart. After thirty minutes of walking around Hogsmead, Ginny had acquired a bracelet, earrings, chocolates, and perfume. The pieces of paper were clues according to the last not, as to where her final location was to be. The clues were pretty obvious about where it was, so still very puzzled, Ginny set off to the Three Broomsticks. Once there she found Harry sitting in a booth waiting for her with a single red rose.

"Hi there" Said Ginny as she sat down.

"Have fun?" asked Harry with a mischievous glint in his eye.

"Yes, and I love my gifts, thank you. This was a lovely surprise." answered Ginny, smiling.

"Well, it's not over. There's still one last part." replied Harry, handing her the rose.

"It's beautiful" whispered Ginny.

"It's a magic rose. It won't die until one of us stops loving each other." Harry informed her.

End Flashback

As Ginny, lifted the rose out of the box, she noticed a smaller box inside. As she opened it she saw a marvellous engagement ring. It was a marquise cut diamond with eight smaller diamonds, four on each side, on a delicate gold band.

Flashback

"Ginny wait!" called Harry running back to her.

Crying Ginny turned to look at him. "Yes?" she replied, her voice cracking.

"Ginny don't cry, I know I'm coming out alive." Harry told her.

"How can you be certain?" she asked.

"Because I made you a promise that I'd never leave you, remember? If you don't believe me, than here. " said Harry wiping her tears away. He pulled a small box out of his pocket. Getting down on one knee, he opened it. Ginny saw a small diamond ring. "Ginny this is my final battle with Voldermort, and I promise I'll defeat him so that we can finally live I peace. Once I do I promise to make you the happiest girl ever. Ginerva Molly Weasly, will you marry me?" Harry asked, placing the ring on her finger.

"Yes" whispered Ginny through her tears.

End Flashback

Replacing the ring on her finger Ginny went to the common room. She knew she wasn't happy with Kyle, so she decided to end her unhappiness, and break up with him. She found Kyle sitting in front of the fire doing his Charms essay.

"Hey beautiful, what's up?" he asked.

"Kyle we need to talk." said Ginny, "I think we should see other people."

"Are you breaking up with me?"

"Yes, it's over Kyle"
