" I miss you, and I'll never forget you. The sacrifice you made for me , I'll never be able to repay you. I just hope that I'm doing you both proud , and that you still think of me , even if Padfoot , Prongs and Moony have now been reunited. Love always." His was on his knees, leaning beside his parents grave. It was 18 years to the day that they had been murdered, and tears were pouring down his face. I stood there , comforting him in silence , as he just wept onto the ground. Ron stood beside me , tears escaping his eyes at the sight of seeing his friend in so much pain , but there was nothing we could except wait for him to compose himself. As 10:00 drew closer , we had been in Godrics Hollow for almost 4 hours. Ron was the one to finally break the silence.

" Come on mate , why don't you come back to the Burrow with me? Mum will make you something to eat , we can play chess or exploding snap?" He asked his friend warily , obviously trying to bring a sense of positivity to the atmosphere.

" No. I want to see Hermione , let's go to Hogwarts. I'm sure McGonagall won't mind" I was shocked at his suggestion , I had assumed , what with me being his girlfriend and everything , that the one girl he would want to spend time with when he was upset would be me. Apparently not.

" Yeah , sounds great , if that's what you want to do mate" My brother's face was practically beaming.

" Ginny , you'll come too?" Harry asked me , and my face lit up. Ron looked utterly confused , but let the subject go without commenting.

" Right then , come on" Ron told us , Harry go off the floor , shook the dirt of his knees , we all grasped hands , and thought of home.

Dear Diary,

We came back to Hogwarts tonight, and boy was some stuff revealed. After dinner ,which only consisted of me , Ron , Hermione , Harry , Luna and Neville ( as they have both decided to return) we all went up to the Gryffindor Common Room ( yes , even Luna)and we sat around the fire , catching up , laughing and joking just like old times. Ron and Hermione came out , they told us everything, not that I didn't already know. But Harry did. He knew it , they told him as soon as it had happened , I guess that's fair enough I suppose. After we all got used to the idea that they were together , I thought that it was time. Time to tell Ron , at least , that me and Harry were dating. I just came out with it. I held up my head, and I said. " Ron. Hermione. Neville. Luna. Me and Harry ... are dating." If I'm honest I think it would be an understatement to say that they were happy. Ron cheered and called out ' Finally'! Hermione ran over and picked up Harry telling him that she knew we'd be together in the end and Neville and Luna seemed like they knew it was going to happen all along, Luna even went as far as to say ' I don't think the nargles had anything to do with it this time" and spun around in a sort of fairy like way. All in all , it was a great night. Until we got to around 2 in the morning , when he broke down. He just started crying. Literally , tears were just streaming down his face. He stormed off , out of the common room. Ron and Hermione tried to follow , but when he gets like that , it's best to leave him. He came up with Hagrid about an hour after , perfectly fine and acting like nothing had happened. Forgetting about it. Because that's how he handles stuff. Pretends it never happened. We went to sleep that night , still none of us talking about why-or how- that had happened. I just hope that he's going to be okay. Because it hurts you , seeing the guy you love in pain. And it kills me , that I can't bring his parents back. But the only time he ever really thinks about them , is this time , every year. That's when it all comes out. And it kills me.
