Love Happens

Disclaimer- I still don't own these people. Gosh...

"We'd best get changed into our robes before we arrive", Hermione's voice broke the long silent trip to Hogwarts. Ron grunted. "Oh, Ron, come on we will go find a place to change..." Hermione said in her most seductive voice. Hermione got up and walked out of the compartment, quickly followed by Ron.

"Ginny, wake up," Harry said to a sleeping Ginny, who was lying in his lap, "we need to get changed into our school robes." Ginny lifted her head up and looked at the man she loved, how good it felt to wake up in his lap.

"OK." Ginny stood up and started to change, not caring Harry was in the same compartment.

"OK, I guess I will find somewhere else to change..." Harry said trying not to stare at Ginny.

"You're fine in here, Harry, I don't care..." Without another word Harry started to change into his robes with his back facing Ginny's. He turned his head slightly and caught Ginny looking at him. He quickly finished putting his robes on. Ginny was already done, and was sitting on the seat watching Harry's every move as he put his clothes in his trunk. Harry turned around and jumped on Ginny, pushing her so that she was lying on the seat, and started tickling her!

"I'll teach you to watch me get dressed!" Harry said in between his and Ginny's laughs.

"Hey! You have been my boyfriend for over a year and I am not a child any more!"

"Oh, but Ginny, you are forgetting that you aren't even of age yet!"

"I will be in a few months!"

"OK, OK, fine, but your brothers would kills us, you know that right? Well more like kill me!" Ginny only laughed. Harry had stopped tickling her now and was sitting beside her. She leaned over and kissed his lips. The kiss began to get deeper when all of the sudden the compartment door slid open...

"Oi! Harry!" Ron and Hermione had come back from 'changing' and were both very out of breath. Harry blushed the color of Ginny's hair and Ginny just glared at Ron.

"Ron! Do you have to interrupt everything!?" Ginny was mad.

"It's OK, Gin, we're at Hogsmeade now anyway." Harry pointed out of the window to the wizarding town of Hogsmeade.

The two couples got off the train and walked over to the carriages. Hermione climbed up, followed by Ron, and then Harry climbed up and held his hand out to Ginny. Ginny took his hand and climbed into the carriage. They were joined in the carriage by Luna Lovegood and some other seventh years. Once everyone was in the carriage they began the ride to Hogwarts.

"This year should be full of learning for every student. This year we don't have to worry about Lord Voldemort. I would tell you who relieved us of the pain that is Voldemort but I think we all know, and I also think he would appreciate it more if we didn't announce his name." McGonagall was giving the speech normally made by Dumbledore. The students had already been sorted and everyone was waiting to be able to eat the delicious Hogwarts food. "May your year be full of challenges and learning." Mcgonagall sat down and the food appeared on the tables.

"Finally! I'm starving!" Ron began to dig into his food immediately.

"What else is new?" Ginny laughed at her brother's repulsiveness. Everyone settled down and began to eat.

Ron and Harry were sitting on their four-poster beds in their dormitory, waiting to meet the student who would be taking the other three beds.

"I wonder who's going to be taking the other three beds.." Ron said

"I'm not sure but I hope it's not someone annoying"

"Me too" As Ron said this, the door open and three seventh years walked in. Harry recognized one of the seventh years as Colin Creevy but didn't know who the rest of them were.

"Hiya, Harry!" Colin looked overjoyed to be sharing a room with Harry Potter. He quickly took out his camera and snapped a picture of Harry.

"Wow! I can't believe I'm sharing a room with the famous Harry Potter!" a short boy with blond hair and blue eyes held out his hand to Harry as he said this.

"I know! Isn't it just the most ah-mazing thing in the whole wide world!!??" Ron asked, a bit annoyed. Harry laughed at his best mate while shaking the boy's hand.

"I'm Jacob, by the way." the boy said ignoring Ron. The boy who hadn't said anything walked out from behind Jacob and held out his hand. Harry shook his hand.

"I'm Louis." The boy walked over to his four-poster and sat down, pulling the curtains around him. All three looked over at the curtains Louis sat behind and wandered why he didn't say anything else. Harry shrugged and got up.

"Well guys, I'm going to head down to the common room for a little while, I'm not that tired."

"I think I'll go with you" Ron said, also getting up from his bed. Harry and Ron walked out of the door and down the spiral staircase to the common room. When they got down, they found Hermione and Ginny waiting for them.

"Glad you're here!" Ron said looking excitedly at Hermione.

"'Cummon, Ron lets go for a walk" Hermione winked at Ron. Harry and Ginny watched them walk out of the common room door. As soon as the door shut, Ginny patted the spot on the couch beside her, gesturing for Harry to sit down. Harry did so and Ginny pulled him into a deep, passionate kiss. Harry put his hands on Ginny's waist and deepened the kiss further. Harry loved the way she would just attack him with kisses. He broke the kiss and started kissing her neck and jawline. Ginny ran her fingers through Harry's hair. Oh how that hair drove her crazy! She missed every moment that she couldn't run her fingers through it. 'How did I get so lucky? To have someone who loves me with all of his heart, someone who cares so much, it's driving me crazy! In a good way...' Ginny pondered her thoughts while Harry kissed her repeatedly. Harry was lost in his own thoughts of how much he loved her. He wanted to hold on to her and never, ever, let go. That's when he realized how much he needed her. How hard it would be to live without her. How hard it would be to watch her love another man, and at that moment he realized more than ever, if possible, how happy he was to know she loved him. At that precise moment, he knew he had to ask her to marry him.
