Harry decided to go ahead with his training session after both Ron and Hermione assured him that they thought Ginny wouldn't mind too much. Besides, Hermione pointed out, Ginny had just gone on tour for two months so it wasn't as if she could say that she was putting their relationship above everything else.

When he arrived at the ministry Harry was greeted by a sight that made him have to hold in the fits of laughter. This sight was Kingsley Shaklebolt, the minister of magic, in an old muggle tracksuit.

Their training session commenced with what seemed to Harry to be running across the country, as a warm-up. They then dueled and before Harry knew it it was six o'clock and he was saying goodbye to Kingsley and flooing to the Burrow

What he found there was what appeared to be a party in full-swing, the Weasleys, of course, being in the center of it. After announcing his presence to Mrs Weasley, Ro and Hermione, he searched for Ginny. He found her outside talking to what he presumed were her team-mates. He walked over to her and wrapped his arms around her waist

"Please tell me that you are Harry Potter, my boyfriend." she said

"That I most certainly am." he whispered in her ear while giving her just enough space to turn around and hug him.

"Just what I was hoping for." she whispered back before kissing him full on the mouth.

"When you get a minute can we talk?" he asked her, still holding her tight

"Yeah, sure, how's right now?" she replied

"No, get back to your conversation, I'll catch you later." he answered

"Okay" she said, kissed him again and turned back to the other women.

Harry walked away, just about hearing the sighs of "Aww" that came from the group.

The night was coming to a close when Harry saw Ginny standing by the food table, alone. Figuring that this was his oppertunity, he made his way to her and took her hand

"Can we talk now?" he asked

"Yeah, sure, here follow me" she answered and lead him to her bedroom, "So what did you want to talk about?" she asked after sitting down on her bed and motioning for him to do likewise.

"Well there's a few things. Firstly I just wanted to say I'm sorry for being late but I was with Kingsley."

"Harry, it's okay, I understand. I'm just glad to see you." she assured him.

"Okay, thanks. Did you have fun?" he asked

"Yeah, it was pretty fun, but that doesn't mean that I didn't miss you... A lot"

"Well that's good to know Gin, but I think we need to talk"

"I kind of thought thats what we were doing" she joked, but he just looked at her seriously "Oh, it's that kind of talk."

"Yeah, it is. Look Gin, I love you. God, I love you so much..."

"Harry, I'm just not ready..." she interrupted

"I know that Gin, I do, but I need to know if we're going somewhere, if this" he pointed to himself and Ginny "Is going somewhere." She tried to interrupt him again but he just put up his hand " 'Cause I'm not sure that we are.. I love you so much, I do. I know you haven't said it back yet because you're scared or because you don't feel it, but we just got back together and you leave for two months." He was now kneeling in front of her " I guess I just feel like we rushed into things. -hell, you were just back when we got together! I feel like maybe we were trying to relive the past when in fact we hadn't actually forgiven each other." He now stopped and watched her as tears flowed freely down her cheeks.

"Harry, please. We can make this work." she sobbed.

He reached up and wiped the tears from her eyes,

"Gin, if you had said 'I love you' at any point in my speech, I would be taking it all back so fast. But I think that we both just need some time to figure out what we're feeling. I don't want to tie you down, so go, live life, see the world, and when you come back, if I'm still in your heart, I'll be waiting here, and if not, then we weren't meant to be." He kissed her on the cheek once more before leaving her room, just missing hearing her say "I love you Harry"

HGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHG

Harry walked down the stairs and into the garden on auto-pilot. He grabbed a bottle of butter-beer and went over to Ron and Hermione who were sitting down by a table, and sat down next to them.

"Hey Harry, we need to ask you something" Hermione said, looking at Ron expectantly

"Would you be my best man?" Ron asked

Harry stared at them, he couldn't say that this was a surprise, but he just hadn't thought about it.

"Harry?" Hermione asked

"What? Oh yeah, yeah, that'd be great!" he said, hugged them both and left to walk around.

Hermione looked at Ron before following Harry.

"Harry, are you okay?" she asked him when the reached a secluded spot and sat down.

"No, but I will be. Just realising that it's all really happening, you know? We aren't just kids anymore, you're getting married and I... well I'm an auror now."

"I know what you mean, it seems like only yesterday that we were in Hogwarts."

They sat in silence before Hermione spoke,

"How's Ginny? That seems to be going pretty well."

"I broke up with her." Harry said simply

"Harry..." Hermione sighed

Harry shook his head,

"It's for the best, it's more of a break then anything. We both need to figure some stuff out, you know? Learn what life is like without each other so that when we get back together, if we get back together, we can appreciate being together, not because we have to be, but because we choose to be."

"Harry, you two are meant to be. You're doing the right thing, just believe it yourself." she said understandingly

"Thanks 'Mione. I think I'd better go home now though, early start tomorrow."

"Bye Harry."

Okay first things first,

A BIG thank you to crookshanks96 who gave me like the best review EVER! This chapter's for you, sorry if it sucked...

Haha, it was funny, I found some notes of mine from like, last summer, when I thought up this story, and it was REALLY different but with some similarities, I found it quite funny.

Didn't really want them to break up but it's all part of the master plan, so trust me!

Please review, they equals love!
