A.N. Okay so I've decided to skip ahead a day just to keep you all in suspense! So it is Ron and Hermione's party! This is like the 3rd time I've written this chapter but really it's how I imagined it all along...

Anyways, here it is.

I don't own this jazz.

Harry was at the bar in the Weasley's garden.. He wasn't drinking per se, just enjoying the atmosphere that he had always found to surround it. He still couldn't believe it, he had told her that he loved her. He did, he knew it, it's just that it wasn't the right time to tell her. He chuckled, it obviously wasn't if she hadn't said it back.

He looked at his two best friends, they were dancing and gazing lovingly into each others' eyes. That's what he wanted, someone to love and to be able to show it off as blatantly as they were. He looked around the room, Ginny had been avoiding him since yesterday, that was definitely not the reaction that he had hoped for. He shook his head, he was losing it again, he couldn't risk going back to alcoholism. He walked over to Ron and Hermione,

"Can I cut in?" he asked

"Sure." Ron said after Hermione nodded in agreement, and walked over to his brothers.

"So what's wrong?" Hermione asked after they started dancing

"Ginny didn't tell you?" he asked quizzically. She shook her head.

"I told her I loved her." Harry answered.

Hermione's eyes lit up in both confusion and joy as he said that, and felt compelled to ask,

"So? What went wrong?"

"She didn't say it back, in fact, she's been avoiding me since."

Hermione's mouth formed an 'o'.

"I just, I just don't get it. If she doesn't feel it back then why not say so?" he asked her rhetorically.

"I don't know." she said simply, "But maybe it would be best to give her some time."

"I'm trying, but it's just so hard when I can't see her or talk to her about it." he sighed

She nodded understandingly. The song ended and the two parted.

"Thanks Hermione, I really needed someone to talk to."

"No problem"

He kissed her on the cheek, winked, and made his way to the center of the dance floor, casting a sonoras charm on himself, he spoke,

"Hello ladies and Gentlemen. My name is Harry and I will be Ron's best man. Now I know what you're thinking, I should probably make this speech their wedding day, but fear not as I am holding back all of the good stuff until then.

"I have known these two for almost nine years, they of course finally got together about two years ago. Now nine years is a long time and I'm almost sure that they have liked each other for that long, and quite frankly, I am amazed that it took them so long to get together." Everyone was in a circle around him by now.

"Ron and Hermione are polar opposites, but they share this love that is so... Unique. They honestly make me believe in true love, soul mates and all that jazz. It is a true joy to watch them when they are together, and a right pain when they're apart. All I can say is that I hope that everyone finds the kind of love that they share." Harry's eyes, which had been gazing around the crowd, found and locked with Ginny's. He looked away to Ron and Hermione "Good luck, I hope that you two stay as happy as you are now forever."

People were clapping, though Harry did not notice, he was looking for Ginny again, but he couldn't find her.

He stayed around for a while, talking to some old schoolmates and the like, but after an hour, needed space to think. He made his way up to the roof. He opened the window in the hallway that led to the roof, though immediately saw Ginny sitting there. He decided that he had wanted to talk to her, so here was his chance. He sat down beside her.

"You okay?" he asked

"Not really... At all." she admitted

"What's wrong?" he asked, looking at her even though she was still looking straight ahead.

"Well I'm with this amazing guy who recently said he loved me, but I can't bring myself to say it back."

Harry nodded and replied,

"Well maybe he doesn't want to hear you say it back just yet, or at least not until you feel it, and instead just wanted to let you know how he feels."

Ginny looked at him,

"Well that would make sense." she looked at him and joked

"What can I say? I understand men." he laughed "I did mean it though, I do love you." He continued suddenly serious

"I know, and I'll say it back when I'm ready."

"That's all I ask."

They were silent for a while, each absorbed in their own thoughts,

"I'm sorry for avoiding you." she broke the silence

"It's okay, just know that you can come to me in the future."

"I will. Now though, my boyfriend has to leave tomorrow and I really would love a dance."

"Well if you insist..."

And they danced the night away...
