Silence hung between them; the silence was deafening if it was humanely possible. They just stood there lost over each other's eyes. No, it was not awkward for them. It would never be. They were contented that way. They were contented the war came to an ease, contented that everybody was safe, contented that they are both safe. Ginny was dying to see those eyes, those pools of emerald green eyes; the eyes that holds millions of feelings and expressions. Now, she has gotten what she has wanted. Standing in front of her, is the vanquisher of the Dark Lord, and everybody's hero, her hero, grinning at her like a madman.

"What are you grinning at Potter?" Ginny snapped.

"Nothing. Can't a handsome-hero grin, now the war is over?" Harry replied.

"When did you ever learn to praise yourself Potter? Now, don't be a bigheaded hero, or else everybody would hate you. Now do we want that to go to publicity?"

"I guess not." An impish smile growing on Harry's lips. "You haven't answered my truthfully questioned question. Can't a drop-dead gorgeous hero grin at anyone?"

"Yeah, you can grin, but the drop-dead gorgeous part, I'm not sure about it." Ginny flashed him a bright and playful smile.

Again, silence hung between them. Lost in each eyes of brown and green. Suddenly, Ginny got to her senses back and broke the connection between them and she started to yawn trying to avoid Harry's eyes.

"I think I need to go to my dorm now. I am a bit knackered. No, not a bit, I am knackered. Therefore, I really have to go get some sleep." She started to walk to the girl's staircase, slowly, assuring her every step towards the stairs. Then she stopped mid-track and turned to Harry "Oh, uhm, yea, Congratulations! You've really done a great job, you saved millions of people! See you in the morning. Goodnight!"She gave him a warm smile before turning to her tracks.

Harry's world came crashing down. What? Was that it? His heart ached. His body ached. And…

"Ginny…" he croaked.

"Yes, Harry?" she turned to face him again. Seeing the sadness in his eyes, made her guilty, but she does not know the reason for her to feel guilty.

"Is that it? I've been really waiting for this kind of scene, yes, you and me alone together after the war. I thought you were going to say a lot of things to me, called me a prat or even hex me into next week, I expected a lot more. But no, I got 'see you in the morning. Goodnight.'." he paused. "Gin, I did not just do this for everybody, I did this for you, and for me…for us. You're the reason why I did this, you're the reason why I kept going,…and you're.. just the reason." He then stopped, suddenly coming to his senses what he just said. Again, silence.

"I missed you, I want you, I need you…I love you" Harry said it as a whisper, that Ginny did not almost catch what he said, but she did. She heard the last sentence clearly and it kept repeating in her head.

When they were still together, Ginny knew all along that Harry loved her. Even if he didn't say it. She just did. She knows by just the stares and the special looks that he gives her; and only her. Now, she has heard it. It solidified her faith that he did love her.

Ginny was shocked by the sudden outburst. She really was.

Harry was now looking at the floor. He did not knew what Ginny was going to do. What the bloody hell did I do?awww, stupid Harry. What if—

Harry's thoughts was stopped when he was taken aback. Ginny lunged herself to Harry and hugging him so tightly that it was for dear life.

Yet again silence.

Now it was different. They were in each other's arms. They were contented. Minutes have passed, maybe hours. They didn't care. As long they're in each other's arms, nothing in the world could drive them away.

Ginny planted a feathery kiss on Harry's lips, that sent shivers to Harry's spine.

"I definitely missed those kisses" Harry said with a wicked grin.

"You better! And to tell you----Harry!" Ginny broke off suddenly when Harry's weight shifted onto Ginny.

Ginny walked slowly but surely to the large couch, still Harry's weight on her.

"Harry, are you okay?"

"Wah?!Huh??What happened?" Harry asked heavily.

"You've passed out…"

"Really, did I?" Harry asked with his eyes closed but still with a wicked grin on his lips.

"Yes you did. And You're exhausted."

" A bit.."

Ginny slapped his arm playfully. Harry's eyes opened instantly.

"Owww…okay maybe not a bit,..quite exhausted"

She smiled at that. Harry loved it when she smiles, not just any smile, a genuine smile.

With that said, Ginny stood up abruptly from Harry's side.

"Wait. Wah?! Where you going? I was comfortable there and---" but Ginny cut him through.

"C'mon lets get you to bed."

"I'd love to, with you?yea, I'd love to, but I'm really feeling dirty right now" Harry said pointing at his filthy-dirt-tattered covered clothes.

"Oh I see…well then if you put it that way…"
