"Oh my God Hermione, your back!" Ginny squealed; Ron said nothing, but ran straight over to Hermione and hugged her.

"Why didn't you say anything?" He muffled in to her shoulder.

"I wanted it to be a surprise." She didn't let the hug go; she wanted to keep hold of Ron for as long as possible.

"Erm did you get my letter?" Ron finally moved away from the hug.

"Yes I did, sorry I didn't reply but I wanted to do this in person. Ronald Weasley, and I can't believe I am saying this, I would love to marry you."

"Oh thank God." Ron was initially relieved before joy took over his whole body and kissed Hermione; not even realising that half the Gryffindors were staring at them. It wasn't until Harry coughed loudly alerting them to the audience they were now receiving. Ron's face went red as he looked around the room; Hermione just laughed and ran to hug her friends.

"I can't believe your father let you come back." Harry smiled.

"Well apparently a certain red-haired boy came to visit him and convince him that I would be ok if he let me come back to Hogwarts; Ron's face went even redder. "So what are we supposed to be celebrating?"

"Well you mean apart from you deciding to marry my idiot of a brother?" Ginny laughed.

"Hey don't say things like that or she might decide to change her mind." Ron interrupted.

"Harry has decided to actually go on a date with me."

"It's not like I didn't want to go on one with you in the first place." Harry defended himself. "Anyway Ron, I know you want to stay with Hermione, but we have quidditch practice." He dragger his friend off and out through the portrait hole, leaving the two girls behind.

"So are you happy then you are marrying my brother?" Ginny had missed some female company instead of just Harry and Ron.

"Yeah I'm really happy, I think it might be a while before it actually happens. I mean I love him, but I'm not really ready to become a wife. It's just I don't want to lose him again and it will happen eventually. What about you and Harry then are you happy about that?"

"Yeah, I'm hoping by the time he decides to leave school he won't want to leave me."

"What do you mean when he decides to leave school?"

"Oh crap," Ginny wish she hadn't just said that. "Erm, don't tell anyone because I wasn't supposed to tell anyone either. Harry thinks he might not come back for next year; he is going to try and find Voldemort. It think he knows something he hasn't let on to us; he's been going off on trips with Dumbledore."

"Well if he plans on leaving and going after Voldemort then he must know that we will go with him; there is no way we will let him go on his own."

"I know and I think that's why he didn't want to tell anyone."

"Ginny we have to find out what he's up to, because we can't let him go on his own. He might think he's fine, but he needs some help."

"I know we have to get him to let us in." Ginny moved over to the same couch as Hermione. "I am so glad you're back."
