-------

Ginny woke up in the morning in a very good mood… she remembered last night as she lay there on her bed not really wanting to get up. It was already eight so she really had to; she had her first training session at 10. But last night was just so amazing… She and Harry had danced all night long… until Mindy had come and told her that it was already 12 and that she was leaving. So they both had left together…

Ginny got off her bed and stretched lazily a lazy smile on her face. She sighed deeply, Harry couldn't take his eyes of her last night, and she couldn't take her eyes off him. He had looked so hot without his glasses.

She walked around her room and made her bed by just waving her wand… after cleaning up all the mess, she then neatly placed her evening dress from last night inside her wardrobe. She then went inside her bathroom, finished all her activities, and turned on the shower. She danced all the way not even caring to close her bathroom door; she definitely was in a good mood.

After she had finished her shower, tapped herself dry and put the towel for laundry without thinking… realizing her mistake she walked out of the bathroom stark naked. She didn't rush around she smoothly walked up to her dresser and grabbed lotion rubbing all over her body. She then dried her hair and walked back to her wardrobe to pick out her dress.

As she walked back, she had this eerie feeling that she was being watched. She shivered and Goosebumps rose allover her body. She suppressed that feeling as just consciousness… seeing that she was naked.

She had chosen for a simple white full-sleeved button-down shirt and to go with that a dark bluish-black stonewashed denim mini skirt. It was frayed a little at the hemline and it just reached up to her thighs making her to look even more sexier… she then walked on her toes back to her closet to choose her shoes.

After another half an hour, she was fully done with her hair and make up. She had chosen for a gorgeous satin peek toe 4-inch thick-heeled stilettos which had cute cutouts. She had her hair up in a messy bun which was held up by her wand. She heard some noise in her living room and suddenly panicked. However, when she heard Mindy's voice she sighed in relief…

"Ginny are you up!" Mindy shouted from the living room. Ginny smiled to herself and walked out of her room.

"Yeah and for what do I owe such an early visit?" she asked as she entered her living room to see Mindy sprawled out on her sofa looking tired who was wearing a black formal pant and a red tube top with a jacket. She smiled at her friend… for always wanting to look formal. However, Mindy looked at her like she had grown horns…

"Early visit! It's already 9!!! So Missy are you done?" she asked eyeing her up and down. Ginny just smiled…

"Yup I just have to grab a bite," she said walking towards the kitchen.

"You don't have to go there…" Mindy said and Ginny stopped and looked at her friend, as Mindy placed a paper bag and two hot chocolate cups from witch's brew on the coffee table. Ginny smiled and walked to her friend.

"Oh thanks Mini! You are great! Have I mentioned that lately?" she asked as she sat on one of her sofas. Mindy smiled,

"Not very often … you know," she said complainingly but she was still smirking.

"Well then I'm very sorry… you are really a great friend," she said and opened the paper bag. There were some sandwiches.

"Did you make these?" Ginny asked. Mindy shook her head as she transfigured two papers into two plates.

"No I was too tired to make them… actually I stayed at my parents last night coz I was tired you k-know…" she said yawning and waving her hand. "My mum made them actually… I thought you will still be asleep and said mum to pack it up so I can get it here and wake you up. And then I apparated directly to the alley and got the hot chocolate too," she finished warming the hot chocolate.

"Thank you I was bit tired myself," Ginny said taking a bit of her sandwich.

"But you looked happy at the ball," Mindy stated quirking her eyebrow questioningly.

"What is that supposed to mean? Of course, I was happy… I was happy for my dad," she said taking a sip out of her hot chocolate.

"No, not that. What about Harry? You two were dancing all night?!" Mindy questioned. Ginny almost choked on her drink.

"You were watching us?" she asked.

"Of course I was… you weren't just dancing with some random guy now, were you? It was with theboy-who-lived, the Harry potter, thechosen one," she said emphasizing every word as she rolled her eyes.

"I wasn't dancing with him for any of that stuff alright? I was just dancing with him like I danced with every other guy," she told and Mindy nodded.

"I know but its just that Ginny… are you sure you want to do this? I mean I know he is the love of your life and all but… still are you ready to go through the same road again?! I don't want to see you get hurt again like last time," she advised. Ginny sighed and Mindy was right. Was she ready? Was she ready for him? Was she ready to give him another chance? She did get the answer last night as she had spent the night dancing with him…

"I dunno… all I know is I love him and want him… but I don't know if I am ready for him now or not," she said truthfully. She always told everything to Mindy and she needed help with this.

"So you do love him?" Mindy asked trying to confirm the new piece of information … though she had known for the fact that they both belonged together.

"Yeah, I do, I really do…" Ginny couldn't finish because Mindy was smothering her.

"Oh! Gin I'm so happy for you… you are in love," Mindy said still hugging her. Ginny hugged her back more apprehensively.

"I know," she whispered silently thinking about what she had said … which was the truth but how would it work? They barely talk to each other now.

"I know he loves you too but you just have to make him realize it," Mindy said pulling back and sitting back on the sofa.

"How am I gonna do that?" she asked wiggling her fingers.

"By ignoring the fact that you love him," she said. Ginny rolled her eyes thinking not again… as she gave a nasty look that said you-are-not-making-any-sense. So Mindy continued…

"Trust me ok this will definitely work, just be yourself by that I mean the real you, Bubbly, vivacious, chatterbox… the real you that I know. Just try to act friendly around him and just…" then as if remembering something she 'screeched'. "Yes! Go on a date," she suggested.

"You tell me to ignore him and then you want me to go on a date with him?" Ginny complained. "You are not making sense!!!" she cried.

"Yes I am, and I didn't tell you go out with him, I said to go on a date with… anybody," Mindy said.

"You want me go on a date with some stranger?" she asked glaring at her so-called best friend. "How will that help anything?"

"That will help everything…" Mindy said calmly. Ginny gave a look that really said I-will-kill-you.

"Explain?" Ginny asked clenching her fist to stop from hitting her only best friend.

"Ok now let me see if I can get this through your bugger head," Mindy said leaning forward on her seat and ignoring the way her friend was glaring at her. "If you go on a date with someone Harry will get all jealous and that will definitely help everything… have you seen the look that he gives you? It's as if you have this sign on your forehead that says 'HARRY'S PROPERTY'… so to make him jealous, go on a date, that will get him to spill the beans," Mindy finished looking so smug that Ginny couldn't help but laugh…

"Y-you… you think… that will work…" she asked between laughing. Mindy stuck out her tongue immaturely.

"Of course it will," she said snobbishly. Ginny stopped laughing and patted her friend's knees.

"That will make him angry and mad you know… he will not come and talk to me, he will just try to hurt that guy who I will go out with," Ginny informed as finished her sandwich and hot chocolate.

"Why do you think he will get angry?" Mindy asked raising her eyebrows.

"Becaaaause… I went on a date?" Ginny offered as Mindy finished her breakfast and disappeared the plates.

"No because he will get all jealous and without knowing what to do … he will just do something stupid. We're grown adults Gin and he is a male… a randy male at that. He will be already sexually frustrated knowing he can have you and that you are delicious looking and he could have his way with-" Mindy started but Ginny cut her off by clamping her hands on her ears.

"Ewwwww stop!!! You are grousing me out…" Ginny cried.

"What? You know that's what guys think? And don't whine like a baby… anyways my point is he would want to have a conversation with you and he would definitely want you. So at that time you just act like yourself and ask whatever you want? Ok, get my point?" she asked. Ginny sighed knowing there was some point… but she was really confused.

"Huh! I think I do," Ginny said uncertainly.

"Good! Good thinking is good…" Mindy said urging her to think more.

"And… I think I can get a date,"

"Very good already thinking of a date,"

"And I think I also know now… why you are ignoring my brother? Because you want to get him to have a conversation with you?!?" Ginny asked smirking.

"Ding! Ding! Din- Hey! what? That's not what I wanted you to know? I'm not talking about me and your brother. It's about you and Harry!" Mindy said confused.

"So no more advices please I think I will handle this myself!" Ginny informed as she got up ready to leave, "Now can we go?" she asked. Mindy looked at the time it was already 9:40… she screeched like a banshee.

"Arghhhhh! I'm late… I'm late because I was giving love advice to a red-headed mandrill?" she fired without even thinking.

"Hey I'm not a mandrill alright? And besides we can be there in 5 minutes if we apparate?" she countered. Mindy looked up and laughed

"Yeah and when are we leaving?" she asked.

"Now!" Ginny answered briefly.

"But…" Mindy started and Ginny cut her off.

"Look I'm fully ready and let's just go. It's first day of our training and I doubt they will do anything," she said shrugging.

"Yeah but where is your bag pack?"

"What bag?"

"Parchments, quills anything?" Mindy said irritatingly. Ginny laughed her head off.

"You… you are serious?" she asked between her laugh.

"Yes?" she replied angrily.

"But Mindy we are not at Hogwarts it's just training and I doubt we will have to take any notes down," Ginny said. Mindy glared at her.

"Really? We'll see about that!" she said indignantly.

"Ok so can we go now?" she asked. Mindy sighed giving up. She just couldn't argue with her…

"Yeah!" she said.

"So do you know who our new professor's are?" Ginny asked changing the subject and it worked they both talked about that until they apparated to Mungo's. They were so engrossed that they didn't even realize they had just walked up to the 5th floor and they were on time. Except everybody else were already there…

It was basically like back at Hogwarts, the classroom was huge like a training arena with high ceiling. There were desks in the middle and Mindy gave her a look that said I told you so! But Ginny was sure that they wouldn't have to take down notes and all… that was just absurd.

They walked in, and saw that the trio was already there, and were talking. They looked up when they approached them. Harry looked so hot in his jeans and t-shirt. She could define every inch of his muscles in her head and his arms looked so… wow! So strong, so sexy… thinking of just what he could do with those hands made her shiver.

Harry on the other hand who was now looking at Ginny couldn't help but think of last night, how good she looked, how nice he felt when they were dancing, how nice she is looking now.

"Ron why do you look like shit?" Ginny asked as she came in front of them, even Harry looked like shit but better than Ron… at least.

"Oh I had a hang over and my head is banging all the way out. Actually …yes I do feel like shit!" he said his head in his hands as Ginny and Mindy took their seats in the second row. Seeing as every other desk was occupied and behind them were the trio.

"I told him not to drink so much fire whisky but would he listen … noooo!" Hermione said annoyed. Ginny and Mindy sniggered at that. Harry who was silent all along smirked too.

"Oh! Wait!" Mindy shouted and started rambling through her handbag which had quill's parchments and then she took out two small green bottles.

"These are hang over potions, they do wonders," she said appraisingly handling one to Ron and Harry too… who also looked like he had a hang over.

"Honestly I don't believe why you guys drink it, its so… urgh! I hate that!" Ginny commented disapprovingly. After they had the potion they looked quite relived.

"Because it helps a lot when you want to forget about someone," Harry said the first thing that came into his mind. Then looked up realizing what he had done, all three of them were looking at him but he could not look at Ginny.

"I think I still have a hangover!" he defended himself and before any of them could ask anymore questions. Moody and Tonks entered with two people and seeing them made Ginny's heart stopped beating… she had never had a heart attack but could bet that she just had one.

Draco Malfoy and Pansy Parkinson had just entered the room; they were not the same Slytherin's that Ginny remembered them to be. They looked more dangerous, more evil yet more matured. Malfoy was wearing thick velvet green robes. His pale blonde hair long and was pulled back in a pony. His pale grey eyes were scanning the class disgustedly.

Pansy on the other hand looked more like a slut and less… normal. She was wearing a deep blood red robes and blood red lipstick. Her charcoal black hair pulled back in a bun. She was also wearing red pointed stilettos that matched her robes… she on the other hand was looking at the crowd like they were aliens to her.

"Good morning, we are here to introduce to you your new professors," Moody growled there were several gasps the loudest was from Ginny. Malfoy smirked evilly at the reaction he received at his introduction.

"So I gather you all know about them and for some of them who don't, this is Draco Malfoy who will be teaching you Advanced Dark Arts and that is Pansy Parkinson who will be teaching you Advanced Healing remedies." He continued not paying attention to the murderous looks Harry was throwing at them.

"But how could you let a death eater teach us…" Harry started voicing out his thoughts but was cut off by his ex-professor.

"I knew you guys would think that, but we have checked everything, and it was proven that Malfoy was under the control of Imperius curse and Miss Parkinson was not involved in any such activities. So I don't want any more arguments about this topic." Moody ended gravely glaring at everybody who looked like they wanted to argue. Everyone was quiet for a few seconds so moody continued.

"Professor Malfoy here is very advanced in Dark arts so…" Moody continued but Harry didn't want to listen to any of this he turned towards his friends who were all glaring at the Slytherins too.

"Of course he will be advanced seeing that he had teacher like Voldemort," Harry commented through clenched teeth. Ron and Hermione nodded in agreement.

"Professor Moody we can understand why Malfoy is here to teach us but why Parkinson, she was barely able to brew a potion back at Hogwarts," Ginny said after Moody had finished talking. Many people sniggered at that including Tonks. Their new professor turned to look at her, Pansy looked like she wanted nothing but to hex her but on the other hand Malfoy looked both impressed and interested.

"Miss Weasley, let me ask you something do you know who William Jenner is?" Moody asked calmly which kind of shocked everyone. Ginny looked at him as if he was stupid.

"Of course I know who he is! He is a well known Healer, he was actually the one who found out cures for many diseases, he was the one who invented Dittany Potion," she replied. Moody looked very impressed and then again Parkinson looked smug.

"Your exactly right Miss Weasley and you see our first choice for a professor was him… but he couldn't because of his ill health and he was the one who suggested Miss Parkinson," Moody said which again shocked everyone.

"Why would he do something like that?" Ginny asked looking aghast. Pansy who looked on the verge of blow up was the one who replied.

"You see Weasley William Jenner is my Grand father, he is my mother's father and I learnt everything about healing from him," Pansy informed proudly. Ginny's mouth was almost scraping the floor along with her classmates.

"But you're stupid," Mindy said talking for the first time which made everybody chuckled. Moody started to glare again.

"That's enough. This issue is over. I'm also aware of the fact that your professors were once some of your classmates but still I want you all to address them with respect," Moody finished.

Ginny couldn't believe this was happening… how thick could you be to think that a Malfoy could change. How could Moody be so thick about the two Slytherins? Did he not know about them? Oh yeah … he really didn't know about them! The real Moody hadn't taught them at school … so he wouldn't know anything about them. But still he knew about the Malfoy's… why was he being so stupid? Well at least she wasn't the only one thinking about that Harry was thinking about the exact same thing.

"So now you will first have your Dark arts class… then after lunch your advanced healing class. I don't want any trouble from any of you, goodbye." He growled for the last time and walked out along with Tonks and Parkinson, leaving Malfoy to stand there near the table, staring directly at Ginny.

"I guess there is no need for introduction there… I have least interests to know about any of you, so… I will get straight to the point; there will no theory, no questions, just practical." He said leaning against the table his arms crossed in front of him. "I will be teaching you dark arts which none of you could ever imagine of it's existence, I don't want any cheeky remarks, smug attitude from any of you, I don't care if you are good or shit… I'm here to teach and that's what I will be doing," he said coldly… Harry was just biting back a retort. This was Malfoy for crying out how could he not retort? Well he was not just a Malfoy anymore was he… he was Professor Malfoy.

"I don't want anyone taking in turn to disrupt my class…" he said glancing towards Hermione briefly a gallant smirk plastered across his face. " If you have anything that is relevant then you raise your hand and if I choose you can confide or you will be regretting opening your sorry mouths. So any questions?" he asked disinterestedly. Nobody moved all of them seemed to taken up by his attitude, except for the Gryffindors.

Not even Hermione raised her hands to ask any doubts, nor Mindy. Harry wanted nothing but to strangle the blonde and Ron was willing to lend him a hand but it was a surprise when Ginny's hand shot up in the air. Everybody turned and looked at her but she didn't give a damn about anyone.

Malfoy turned towards the red-head who had dared to question him, well he was very shocked when Moody had addressed to her as a Weasley, if he hadn't then Malfoy would defiantly have not even dreamed she was one. She had grown well and he had only one word to describe her with… hot.

"Yes Weasley," he said somewhat interestedly looking at her as if reading her mind. Ginny didn't give damn about what he thought; she lowered her hand and looked at him rebelliously.

"How do you know Dark arts?" she asked bluntly. He raised his pale eyebrow at her… he was shocked alright but being a Malfoy, he masked it perfectly.

"How do you think Weasley, if you don't know it then maybe you should ask the golden boy, he will tell you… he claims to know more about me," he replied in a calm stance but turned and glared at Harry. Apparently not forgetting the comment he had made before.

"So it's true then... you-know-who was your teacher?" Justin Brooks asked him blandly. Harry rolled his eyes… stupid Drumstrangs, he thought.

"I'm not here to teach about who my teacher was … I'm here to be your teacher and what did I just say about opening your mouths unnecessarily?" he asked viciously glaring at him and Justin swiftly shut his mouth not wanting any trouble.

"And same goes to you Weasley I am here to teach you something not gossip," he replied with the trademark smirk back in its place, Ginny didn't look abashed she just glared right back at him.

"Now if there is nothing else lets get back. Everybody up." he ordered leaning away from the table. When everybody had risen to their feet Malfoy waved his wand and all the tables vanished and the room looked like a real training arena. Some life sized manikins had appeared on the end wall

"Ok first I guess you all know about all the defenses… and if you don't then you may leave," he said and when nobody moved he continued. "So I will first start with simplest of the dark spells -if there is any… anyways watch carefully I will not be giving repeat performances," he said in an irate tone.

Everybody was gathered towards the wall leaving a lot of space in the middle. There was a spear dummies for each one to practice spells on. Draco was in the middle he walked forward looking at everybody as if giving out punishments then he stopped in the middle and turned around.

"So because these are dark spells we cannot practice on anyone but we will know if the spell is correct based on the perfect wand movements and the color emitted which should be exact, if not there will be no use of any of these spells, but if you want any examples of what it does other than what information I give you… then you may step forward and I will be very happy to perform it on you so that you wont have any further doubts ever again," he sneered evilly. Ginny rolled her eyes at how superior this guy thought about himself and she didn't like it one bit.

"The first spell I will be showing you is the paralyses spell which will paralyze the person on whom the spell is cast of course and if you guys are thinking that it is like any other normal stunning hexes then let me tell you now… that they are nowhere near to the damage caused by this particular spell," he said and many actually looked nervous. But as if he was talking about the weather Malfoy continued.

"This particular spell will paralyze and that person will not be able to feel anything and the healing potion if not given in 2 hours time after the spell is cast then the person will die," he said.

"So the spell goes something like this…" he said with his wand held high, pointed at one of the dummy -which he had levitated in front of him. He waved his wand in a very complicated manner and his voice boomed in the now quiet room… Augenblick paralyze Angriff! There was this bright purple light emitted from the tip of his wand and the dummy was blown off into pieces…

Then with a simple Reparo spell Malfoy repaired the dummy, with that he turned to the class and asked them to practice on their own and that he would be walking around and checking whether they were doing it properly or not… actually more like insult the Trio's lack of attention, insult how cheap the Weasleys were, and also ending up insulting their father for being made the Minister… everything indirectly of course.

-------

For Harry being here reminded him of the DA meetings… but that was much cooler according to him because it was he who was in control and mainly because their was no Malfoy. He didn't know how anybody could trust Malfoy into teaching anything… who could believe that he wasn't a death eater.

Today for him was long and tiring he couldn't believe Malfoy, his enemy; a death eater was teaching them how to defend themselves from a death eater?!? That didn't even make sense to him… he would never believe for the fact that Malfoy wasn't a death eater. Didn't the fact that he knew dark arts prove that he was a death eater.

This was all too much information for him to digest, first a death eater, a Malfoy at that becomes their so-called 'professor' who teaches dark arts [who learnt it from Voldemort?!? Then he learns that Pansy Parkinson is supposed to be a famous healer's grand daughter, the pansy, who had dung brains for normal ones back at school [ though she was good at potions?!? Next what… Voldemort comes back to life and wants to play with Barbie!

Harry had been thinking about that the whole time during lunch break, he just couldn't believe how anybody couldn't see this, was he the only one?What story had Malfoy made up to make the whole ministry think that he's innocent oh yeah he was imperiused who would believe that?… he thought desperately. May be the fact that he accepted to teach dark artsSomething in his mind replied but he conveniently ignored it.

After lunch they had a session with Pansy Parkinson on healing remedies, this time when Harry entered their 'training arena' he was shocked to see that it looked like a potion lab… there were huge potion tables distributed across the room, bursting with ingredients, there were two cauldron on each table… on further inspection Harry saw that there were only seven tables and there were fourteen of them.

May be we will be working in pairs and may be I will be paired with a particular red-head!!! He wished silently… by that I don't mean Ron he added. He stood near one of the table and surveyed the room… Ron and Hermione were fighting on another thing that happened during lunch today… apparently Ron eats like a pig [for which Ron felt insulted and Hermione wanted for him to stop… the argument which neither interested Harry nor did he attempt to stop it… as particular red-head had entered the room!

Ginny had just entered the room looking all gorgeous as usual, but what bothered Harry mostly was that the way Justin [his enemy was looking at her. Nobody could look at my Ginny like thathe thought possessively. Not even you? His mind asked which he ignored it yet again because he had again dropped into one of his fantasy but was rudely interrupted by Pansy tapping on the cauldron with her wand.

"Today we begin our first class…" she informed coming straight to the point "and firstly we will be learning how to make the paralyze potion, that I believe Mr. Malfoy has told you about this morning," she said in an authoritative tone as many of them nodded. "You must have caught up on how your training will take place, that is… Mr. Malfoy will be teaching you dark spells in your first sessions whilst I will teach the remedies for those particular spells, which will be how the training will take place for the rest of the year," she informed as she turned around and waved her wand, the information on how to prepare the potion appeared on the board along with all 'students' names… divided in pairs.

"So coming back, the paralyze potion must be given to the victim within two hours after the spell is cast, so I suggest you to prepare the potion on the prior. You are all divided into pairs as you can see, one auror and a healer are paired together, because a healer will know all about making healing potion -which is in no way similar to making your regular portions." she said derisively many aurors scowled at that.

"If you want you can take the properties down or you can just make the potions correctly and take them with you, the choice is yours but I want the potion to be perfect, you've given all the ingredients, measuring and cutting apparatuses… you may all begin." She finished as they all looked at the board and went to their partners.

Harry looked at the board he was paired off with… Alice! He looked as if all hell had broken lose on him… though he didn't have any chance to dwell on the subject because Alice had already approached him and was flirting away to glory. He looked around, Ron was paired with a brunette, called Evangeline who was introducing herself to him, then he spotted Hermione paired with Mindy… but he wasn't looking at them but was searching for Ginny when he found her, his eyes widened in shock… she was paired with Justin? His nightmare had come true.

He watched as Justin talked to her, his blood boiled with jealousy… he wasn't paying attention to whatever, Alice was telling him, and he also ignored the way his mind was shouting at him for being so desperate. His eyes narrowed as Ginny laughed at something, Justin was already flirting with her and Ginny looked as if she didn't mind. Then suddenly he didn't know from where his jealousy turned into anger but he also started flirting with Alice thinking … two could play this game

Ginny did not like the guy she was talking to… he looked so like a …Casanova, he was flirting with her non-stop, so she insisted on making the potion. When she turned around she caught Harry flirting with… Alice? Her head snapped to the board and saw that he was paired with her. She didn't want to feel jealous, she wouldn't let that feeling take over her… so she turned and paid attention to the potion and even more to her partner. She could feel Harry's eyes on her but she didn't dare look up.

Later when their session was over Ginny had managed to prepare a perfect potion, even Pansy who had commented on everybody's potions, had just walked off with a scowl on her face. Ginny had a satisfied look on her face… she divided the potion into two bottles handing one to her partner taking one with her.

"Ginny would you like to have dinner with me sometime?" Justin asked bluntly. Ginny looked shocked, she had just met this guy and he was already asking her out?!? Out of the corner of her eyes she caught Harry and Alice talking and laughing loudly… helping her to make a decision. She smiled up at Justin and nodded her head.

"Sure but I'm busy this week and we also have this… training," she said somewhat nervously. Justin smirked in reply.

"How about we go out on Friday? We have off that day" he told confidently.

"Sure that would be er… great!" she exclaimed with mock enthusiasm. She just couldn't make her mind up going out with someone… other than Harry. What is wrong with me I've dated other guys? She thought desperately. Yeah but not for three years… her conscience reminded her which was right… she hadn't really.

"So it's a date then!" he said smiling smugly. Ginny faked a smile and nodded.

"Date it is!" she confirmed. They waved to each other and walked off… Ginny didn't know what she had done but she had to talk to Mindy.

-----

The week had passed in a haze… and it was already Friday. Ginny was actually enjoying herself it was like she was back at Hogwarts except this was much more fun if she dare even think about it. There was nothing much to do except learn exciting things though it was from two death eaters who were truthfully pretty good at what they were doing.

They had now learnt more complicated spells and remedies that Ginny had never even heard about. Though she had heard about part of them still it was so complicated and dangerous… of course it would be dangerous look at who taught them. Even though Pansy looked like a real pansy she was pretty good at making potions.

Malfoy was also very good at Dark arts but the problem was every time she was near him she had this creepy feeling… whether it was because he gawked at her like an assassin or whether because he was a death eater or just because he hated her … she didn't know but still she detested him. She hated him to the depth of her core… in spite of everything she couldn't deny the fact that he was hot.

Well not as hot as Harry was, but still he was good looking in a death eater kind of way. She and Mindy even had a little chat about that topic saying that if they had to pick a death eater to go on a date then that would be him.

Speaking of dates she had one that night which she really was not interested in but was determined to go only because she saw the love of her life flirting with some other girl. She didn't know why she was feeling so jealous every time Harry flirted with some one else because they both hardly talked to each other … except for hi's and bye's. Today there was no training and she was glad for it but what she didn't know was the surprising news she would get that morning.

She had woken up at 9 after a content full sleep… she had the best breakfast too [which of course Lucy had prepared. She had just walked out of the kitchen when she saw Hermione's head sitting in the fire… which didn't shock her because they had chatted like that with Mindy for like… forever.

"Hi Ginny," she said cheerfully almost too cheerful. Ginny smiled and went near the fireplace for a clear view.

"Hi Hermione… why are you so happy?" she asked suspiciously which made Hermione smile even more broadly.

"Well that is the reason why I flooed… I'm engaged!" she announced beaming. Ginny yelped happily and kneeled in front of the fire bubbling with excitement.

"Oh wow! Hermione congratulations! I'm so happy for you," she exclaimed beaming. Hermione smiled happily, like Ginny had never seen her smile before.

"Thanks I can't believe this has happened and I first wanted to share it with you and Harry… I mean you two are my best friends," she said happily. Ginny smiled at her but the question she wanted to ask was… had she talked to Harry or her first? But she let it slide.

"I'm glad you did! I still can't believe he finally picked up his Gryffindor courage and asked you… it's been so long already," Ginny said giggling at an image of her brother stuttering as he proposed. "By the way how did my dear old brother propose to you?" she asked smirking, after all she was a girl… she couldn't help but feel curious.

"Oh it was beautiful, he had planned this beautiful candle light dinner last night saying we had long tiring week. He had everything worked out it was so beautiful and then after dinner he pretended to drop a fork and instead of coming back up, he dropped to knee he pulled out the ring and proposed, it was so wonderful!" she finished happily, her eyes glistening with tears. Ginny smiled too.

"I'm so happy for you and Ron… but Mum will be freak out about this, her baby son… you should tell her… may be she would like to have a family reunion, again" she said. Hermione nodded but felt a little nervous of what the Weasleys would say.

"Yeah I should go, Ron is still sleeping, and that too we slept late last night…" Hermione blushed at the thought as Ginny groaned.

"Hermione I may be your best friend but still Ron is my brother… I don't need to know about you and my brother's sex life," she said disapprovingly. Hermione now blushed harder.

"Right... I should go I should still inform Harry, may be then I will tell Mrs. Weasley…" she said nervously about what she would say. Ginny sensing her friends nervousness smiled reassuringly.

"Oh don't worry 'Mione mum will be fine… I think she would want to help you plan your wedding," she said giggling. Hermione also smiled and with a final goodbye she disappeared.

Ginny was right her mum had flooed at 11 and said she would like everybody to be there for lunch because her dad would be busy that night. Ginny was actually happy to hear that ... seeing that she had a date that evening. Her mum had also asked her to inform Mindy and it was when she was picking out her dress for her date that Mindy arrived smiling serenely.

"What's up with you?" Ginny asked as she scanned her wardrobe. Her bed was over flowing with all her clothes and still her wardrobe was not emptied at all.

"I m-met your brother in Diagon alley," she replied still smiling stupidly. Ginny rolled her eyes.

"Which brother would that be?" Ginny asked impatiently. It was Mindy's turn to roll her eyes.

"Which do you think?" she asked smirking. Ginny stopped picking out and turned towards her friend.

"George?" Ginny asked enquiringly and Mindy nodded a goofy smile on her face.

"Yeah and we ended up having breakfast together… " she trailed off as she sighed as she remembered how sweet and caring George was.

"Ewwwww You kissed didn't you," Ginny asked disgustedly and Mindy nodded giggling stupidly like Ginny had never seen her before.

"Oh Gin you don't know how sweet he was, I can't believe I didn't go out with him sooner… I still assumed he was the same George Weasley from school but I was so wrong … he is actually different. He was such a gentleman… we talked for like 2 hours. He knows how to woo a woman," she said smiling lustfully. Ginny looked even more disgusted at her look which said I-will-take-him-soon… which was not the image Ginny wanted right then… to lose her appetite right when she was about to go to the burrow for lunch.

"What is with my best fiends and my brothers getting together?" she asked no one in particular getting back to task in hand and also ignoring the way Mindy was giggling.

"But look on the bright side all your best friends can be you sister-in-laws." Mindy said subconsciously and Ginny dropped whatever she was carrying and walked towards her.

"Oh my god! You are serious… I thought this was like one of your flings but look at you talking about us being in-laws. You are serious!" she said tears glistening in her eyes as she saw Mindy's.

"Yeah Gin I really am, I knew I liked him before but I didn't know I liked him so much, I mean I never gave him a chance…" she rambled on about how many times he had asked her out and Ginny nodded her head only half interested, because she wasn't listening. She was thinking about Harry… may be she had to give him chance?

"Earth to Gin! Are you there?" Mindy said waving her hand in front of Ginny. Ginny shook her head and walked back towards the wardrobe.

"Yeah I was just thinking about the date," she lied because she didn't want another suggestion or any advices.

"Oh Gin we are late it's already one! Can we go? I'm starved…" she lied too because she wanted to see George again apparently even Ginny knew that.

"Oh relax! My brother won't run away! At least not after you did agree to go out with him, he waited for almost four years may be he will wait another hour!" she said dismissively. Mindy glared at her and walked up to her.

"Gin why don't you wear that short black dress we bought from the muggle store last month! You look good in it," Mindy advised scanning the wardrobe too. Then she pulled out a short black dress that she was referring to and handed it to Ginny. It was pretty.

"Are you sure I mean isn't it a little too hot for just a date?" she asked doubtfully looking in the mirror. Mindy who was standing behind her rolled her eyes.

"It's too hot... what does that mean? I mean Justin will drool all over you even if you wear a bathrobe… so you might as well look fancy! Now come on pleasssse… I'm hungry," Mindy begged and Ginny sighed and nodded.

"What should I wear-" but Mindy cut her off.

"Oh god you can wear your dress at the burrow… I will help you. For now you look fine in your jeans and top, we are not going to meet the queen… now come on!" Mindy said now irritated about how she acted like a typical teenager, fussing about dresses and looks.

"Yeah ok and tell me something? Is that why you are wearing such a hot dress… just for a lunch," Ginny teased as she watched Mindy arrange all her clothes in the ward robe by waving wand trying very hard to ignore the question… seeing that she was blushing harder than ever.

Ginny laughed heartily as they apparated to burrow after taking all the stuff she needed to get ready for her date. All the way teasing Mindy, who on the other blushed harder and harder… every time. When they entered the Weasley kitchen it was already buzzing with lot of people, this time including Mr. and Mrs. Granger who looked very kind and warm.

"Hello everyone!" Ginny greeted walking into the kitchen taking off her jacket in the process. Hermione rushed up to her and wiggled her ring finger. Ginny and Mindy widened their eyes and started fussing all over it. It was huge; it was a platinum ring with huge single ruby and small studded diamonds on the band. Ron had come to greet them and he had said that he picked out ruby because it would always remind her of him.

"Oh my gosh! look at that rock," Mindy exclaimed.

"Wow its really awesome Hermione!" Ginny said happily hugging her. She then pulled back and hugged her brother.

"Congrats Ron, I can't believe you're engaged!" she said smiling which he returned.

"Well neither can I? But I had loads of help from Harry, he helped me pick out the ring and all," he said beaming at his best friend who was now leaning against the wall with his hands in his pocket.

Harry was very happy that morning, though he knew all along that Ron was going to propose… it was very nice hearing it from Hermione, she looked so happy, she was yelling at the top of her voice when she had flooed him that morning. He was happy for his best friends… but still he couldn't place why he was also feeling sad.

Though he looked happy he couldn't help feel a little jealous but he didn't know why, he was having this nagging feeling in his head that was saying so many things that made him want to bang his head so that it would go away.

But he knew what it was when he saw Ginny… it was because he wanted to be the one to propose... to Ginny. He wanted to celebrate his proposal, first of all… he wanted to be with Ginny, talk to her, make her understand why he had left… but he just didn't know if she wanted it too. He didn't know why? but he was hurt that he couldn't have that… that he couldn't have her, he had tried everything, he had flirted with other girls, he had even taken Gabrielle to the Ball with him for crying out loud! But he didn't want any of that… what he wanted was standing in front of him looking back at him.

Ginny looked at Harry he looked so out of place, he looked so confused, so… lost. All she wanted to do was talk to him, kiss him, shag his brains out but she couldn't she knew she shouldn't… only because she wanted him to make the first move. But she had already made a move to make him realize that she was going on date… not with Harry. She didn't know how he would react but trailed off as Bill and Fleur made their way from the living room.

After all the greetings and the lunch Ginny sat at the table sipping butter beer as she looked around the kitchen…. Charlie couldn't make it, Percy was busy but still he and her dad were sitting at the table and were talking about some new decrees. Harry and Fred were talking about some new quidditch store, George who was also talking to them till now had walked up to Mindy and was talking about sweet nothings… from what she could hear. Mrs. Weasley was talking to Mrs. Granger about some muggle food recipe, where as Ron was talking to Mr. Weasley. But her eyes always seemed to drift to where Harry was and he seemed to be facing the same problem.

"What are you thinking, Gin?" Hermione asked from beside her. Ginny turned to her and smiled.

"Oh nothing… I was just thinking about my date tonight!" she lied again but what she really was thinking was the same thing that she thought every minute these days… Harry.

"Oh you have a date! With whom?" she asked somewhat shocked. Ginny realized she had not informed anybody except for Mindy.

"Yeah I'm sorry I didn't tell you before, I had so many other things in mind! Anyway his name is Justin Brooks, you'll know him, he's an auror too," she said disinterestedly. Hermione looked rather alarmed at that piece of information.

"Oh he's ok and all but … Ron and Harry hate him!" she said in a warning tone.

"Hate whom?" Ron asked from behind them. Ginny practically jumped out of her skin in surprise. Ron had finished talking to Hermione's father who was now to talking to Mr. Weasley about television.

"Just this guy… I think you know him, he's an auror too… his name is Justin-"

"Yeah, yeah I know him, I also know that I hate him but why are you talking about him?" he asked taking a butter beer from the table and popping it open.

"Oh it's nothing… I j-just have a d-d-date with him…" she trailed off as Ron choked on his butter beer spitting it down his front. Hermione went and tapped him on the back. After he recovered he slammed the butter beer back down and glared at her.

"You have a date with him?" he shouted all of occupants of table looked up surprised at his outburst nobody looked more surprised than Harry did… his insides were churning with agitation and jealousy.

"Yes Ron calm down! It's no big deal…"

"No big deal! He's a prat and you are going out with him!" he shouted and Ginny just rolled her eyes.

"With who?" Bill asked all her other brother nodded wanting to know who this prat was who would get killed from their bare hands.

"His name is Justin and he's a really nice…" Ginny started but was again cut off by her brother.

"No he isn't! he's a prat, he changes girlfriends every week, he's a womanizer…" Ron started but Ginny cut him off this time.

"No he isn't,"

"Yes he is,"

"But you guys think all the guys I go out with are prats,"

"That's because they are," Fred chimed in.

"I don't think you should go out with this git Justin," George joined too.

"Yeah even I don't like this guy one bit from what Ron says he is," Bill said bossily

"He sounds like a real shit to me-" Fred added

"Brook more like crook," George shouted angrily.

"You have a date?" Harry asked softly … talking for the first time. Ginny turned towards him, he looked so hurt … his eyes boring into hers. Her heart felt like it was broken by looking at his pain but also it didn't … because he was also angry, just like Mindy said he would be, which made her even more livid.

"Yes alright! I have a date! Is that so hard to believe? I'm already of age and it's my choice… whether I want to go or not. And I have decided I am going… even if anyone of you like it or not," she shouted not only at Harry but towards all her brothers. With that said she walked past Ron and stomped off towards the living room. Leaving a very silent kitchen behind her. Hermione and Mindy rushed after her. Mrs. Weasley rounded on her sons and started lecturing about their behavior but… Harry was too stunned.

Harry was shocked… she had a date! With his enemy. He didn't know what to do? He didn't know how he felt… but he knew for sure that he didn't like what he was feeling. He was a complete mess… he made this mess. If only he hadn't left her, may be he could talk to her now, may be she would listen, but she didn't want to talk about that. She said she would going out no matter what anybody said.

His heart was shattered into a thousand pieces… he didn't know if it could be fixed or not. He had messed up the one good thing that could have happened to him, that had happened to him. He was too depressed… he was too late. But now he couldn't think straight… he would just mess it up even more… though he knew there was nothing there to mess around with. He got up from the table abruptly causing everyone to look up at him.

"Harry where are you going?" Ron asked shocked at the sudden mood swing. Harry looked at him once.

"Out!" he said and turned towards Molly. "Sorry Mrs. Weasley but I have to go, I said… I said… that I would meet somebody," he announced softly and without a reply he walked out of the house dissapparating even though Ron kept calling for him.

-----

Ginny had just walked out on her date. She just couldn't stand sitting there making small talks. She was just not into the whole dating thing. She had barely talked to him… she kept drifting away. She had not listened to a word Justin had said… who was actually talking quiet a lot.

After the little incident her brothers had come and apologized to her… and she knew her mum had made them to. But what shocked her was that when Ron told her Harry had left… just saying that he had to meet somebody. Ginny knew something like this would happen… and couldn't help but think this was all her fault.

But she couldn't cancel her date… though all she wanted to do was that. She couldn't contact Justin so she had to go out with him. After getting ready for date, with no interest, even though Mindy kept reminding her that this was her first date in so long. She couldn't even feel a little bit exciting. But thanks to Mindy she looked amazing.

Her dress was gorgeous, her dress which just ended above her knee… showing off her legs. She was wearing just simple black stilettos to go with it. She was not even interested in how she looked all she cared about was where Harry was.

So when she did get to Diagon alley she saw Justin waiting for her, he had reservation at Empire hotel, he was staring at her the whole time like she a precious thing, which also was one of the reason why she got irritated. After ordering their food they both had talked…. well he had talked and she had listened… but she couldn't take it so she said she had meet a friend who was not very well and had left. She had also left because something in her said that this was not where she was supposed to be, she deserved to be somewhere.

She walked across the alley, she didn't want to apparate, she decided she would walk to her apartment. When she entered the leaky cauldron she saw Harry sitting on one of the stool near the counter drinking. She was shocked to find him here… was he waiting for her? She needed to find out so she walked up to him.

Harry turned as if sensing her… he looked at her, his eyes burning for her, through her. She looked so hot, and all he wanted to do was ravish her, and he would because he couldn't wait anymore. He was not a coward and today he would talk to her… he was thinking about the same thing the whole day and thankfully she was walking straight towards him.

"Harry what are you doing here?" she asked firmly staring at him. He looked like he was sitting here all day long apparently drinking. He had four glasses in front of him and one in his hand. He was staring back at her with such intensity that she couldn't brake his gaze.

"Why did you go out with him?" he asked huskily barely audible but Ginny had heard him and was caught off guard. Her eyebrows rose in a way to question his sanity. In reply she grabbed his drink, looked at it and frowned. Harry had expected for her to yell at him not steal his drink.

"What are you doing?" he asked genuinely confused. Ginny placed the drink on the counter and turned towards him.

"I was checking whether you were drinking Fire whisky apparently you weren't," she stated and looked at him definitely. Harry waited for her to continue not able to look away from her.

"So Harry my next question is… what is a guy such as yourself, doing in a place like this at a time… that is not appropriate for drinking hot chocolate?" she asked raising her eyebrows at him. It was not too late it was just 8… but Harry took a lot longer to answer because he was rejoicing inside. She had walked out of Justin… its just eight she was not dating him. She just had one date… which hadn't even lasted long enough.

"You said you didn't like fire whisky," he said in reply now she was confirmed he was insane.

"So I said I didn't like fire whisky, I don't remember forbidding you to drink it," she said simply. This was the most they had talked to each other since three years… since he had come back.

"No you didn't, but still… I don't want to do stuff that you don't like," he said not at all talking about fire whisky. Ginny looked at him and knew what he was talking about. She sighed and took a step back from him. Though she wanted to solve this… some part of her was still scared. She wasn't ready… not now, not here… right?

"Ok look if this conversation is going where I think it is… then I better be going. Good night," she said and walked off without a backward glance. But Harry wasn't ready to give up yet… not this time. He slammed 5 galleons on the counter and ran after her.

"Ginny wait," he called but she didn't stop she was walked out of the pub into the street.

"No!" she called back over her shoulder. Harry ran to catch up with her.

"Please… I want to talk to you," he pleaded now walking beside her. She didn't look at him once and he didn't take his eyes off her.

"I don't," she replied and looked straight ahead.

"Why not?" he cried exasperated. She didn't know why… but the answer slipped right out of her.

"Because I can't handle it," she said still not turning towards him. Now he was irritated… so he came in front of her and looked down at her… blocking her way.

"You can't handle what?" he asked stupidly but it made her look up.

"This…" she said gesturing the space between them. "So if you will please excuse me, I'm rather tired and I need to get home fast," she said indignantly and walked past him. Harry just stood there while she walked back.

"If you do need to be home early then why didn't you just apparate," he said listening to the sound of her heel stomping on the pavement which suddenly stopped. Ginny couldn't answer that… he slowly turned around and she was standing there her back to him.

"I know you want to talk about this too," he said simply. She turned around suddenly her eyes shooting daggers at him. She walked up to him and looked at him definitely.

"Fine let's have this talk." She stated firmly crossing her arms. Harry sighed… finally.

"But not here," he said glad that she had accepted but they couldn't talk here. They were standing in a muggle alleyway… but nobody was around it was pitch black except for the street lamps. Ginny snorted disbelievingly and rolled her eyes.

"If you seriously think that people out here will be interested in our little 'conversation' then there is no one else who is stupider than you are," she said bitterly. Harry was hurt by her tone but still he didn't want to get her angry… so he just accepted to whatever she wanted.

"Ok let's talk here," he said silently looking at her as if expecting her to start talking but she just looked right back at him with her eyebrows raised. He sighed it looked like she was thinking of the same thing he was. He took a deep breath not knowing where to start... so he decided he should just came straight to the point, no more waiting, no more advices.

"Why are you throwing away what we had?" he asked simply. She glared at him… she couldn't believe he was blaming it on her.

"I'm throwing away? I'm the one throwing away what we had?" she shouted as if he was insane, then all her feelings just poured out of her. "Yeah you know what... that was me alright! It was me who left three years ago without even muttering a word to anyone, it was me who threw away our relationship which was already in a mess when I left for the war, that's right that was me," she said bitterly. "That was me who broke up in order to 'save me'… Mr.save-ginny-from-all-the-evil-in-the-world-because-she-is-a-baby-and-cant-handle-getting-a-boo-boo." She shouted accusingly that actually flared Harry's anger. He took a step closer to her but she stood her ground.

"Hey I didn't want to leave you three years ago alright? I didn't want to break up with you before that either? I was just trying to protect you… both times," she said loudly though he was trying desperately to make her understand. But she laughed angrily… if that was even possible.

"Protect me from what?" she demanded her hands on her hips. She looks so cute like that… he thought but shook his head to clear his mind and focus.

"From me… I wanted to protect you from me," he whispered silently. She was taken aback she actually thought he would say Voldemort, because that's why he had four years ago dumped her after Dumbledore's funeral.

"If you haven't noticed Gin, I'm all alone. All the people I cared and loved once were taken away from me. My mum and dad were killed when I was just one, my god father who came into my life as a small hope was taken away from me too… And the one man to whom I used to go for advice was also killed by two sided grease head," he said sadly but still with an edge of anger. Ginny just looked at him he had never talked to her about all of this. -X- A/N- Remember Snape is a bad guy in my story.-X-

"Ron and Hermione were the only people in my life whom I got to keep! And I thank Merlin whenever I get a chance, for letting me keep them!" he said and then looked up and into her eyes. "See I didn't even get to keep you," he confessed silently. What is he talking about? She thought.

"You had a choice…" she said silently and he nodded his head silently.

"Yes I did have a choice, I had a choice either to stay with the most wonderful woman in the world who could make me happy like no one else could or to help people get over from the war, help them by ridding the world from the death eaters so that they could stay happy. And finally three years ago I didn't make a choice, I made a decision which didn't help me at all…" he said quietly. She still looked confused so he continued

"See Gin people get to make choices and decisions in their lives, choices have options but decisions have to be made, they don't come with options…" he said which made Ginny smile. He looked at her and smiled sadly too.

"So I made a decision, a decision to save people, to help them in anyways possible, so that they could lead their lives peacefully without death eaters hacking havoc. And when I was training and on my mission I did save many witches, wizards even muggles, I made them happy but I wasn't happy myself." He accepted and moved closer to her and looked directly into her eyes. "Past three years were the loneliest I have ever felt!" he said and Ginny looked at him questioningly, Ron and Hermione were there… she thought.

"Yes, I know Ron and Hermione were there," he said as if reading her mind. "They were the reason I felt so lonely. You know … when we left from here they both got together, they were not just my friends, they were also a couple and they spent all their time together and every time I looked at them it pricked me like a needle," he muttered and watched as Ginny widened her eyes and took an automatic step back… in shock. He then realized what he had just said.

"Oh no! Don't get me wrong I am happy for them. Actually I'm very happy, they belong together. You see seeing them together also made me realize how much I missed that someone in my life and that pricked like a needle, I missed that someone, I missed you…." She looked up at him, her eyes brimming with tears. He came close to her and took her face in both his hands and cupped it lovingly. She didn't stop him… nor did she want to.

"I missed you Gin, I missed you so god damn much! I needed you the most after the war and the past three years. I wanted you with me, it hurt every time I missed you, and trust me when I say this it hurt worse than any unforgivable curse and believe me I've felt all of them… and missing you was the worst thing ever. I missed you more than my parents, Sirius… I loved you Gin, I still do," he accepted and his eyes automatically dropped to her lips as if expecting the same three words from her too, that would make his pain go away, those three words that could make him happy, but what did come out of her mouth shocked him.

"Tell me why you left?" she asked silently and he slowly let go of her. They were right back where they started from… he looked at her questioningly, I told you why I left… he thought.

"I know why you left!" she said quickly at the hurt expression on his face. "It's not that… I know you left four years ago to fight with Voldemort, and I also know why you left again three years ago for auror training, but why? Why did you leave the way you did… without a word. I know there is a reason, there must be," she said firmly. Harry looked at her and sighed.

"There is…" he accepted but trailed off because he couldn't say it. She raised her eyebrows at him as if urging him to continue. He looked into her eyes; they had come so far… he might as well say it.

"I didn't want to hurt you… Gin you are this amazing woman I've ever met, and not only because of your beauty…" he trailed off as Ginny's eyebrows rose even further up and she gave him a look that said 'you better be going somewhere with this' so he quickly continued.

"I mean you are beautiful yes and you are also beautiful here…" he said touching her chest indicating her heart and ignoring the fact that it was also her breasts that felt so soft and warm under his touch… so he quickly pulled his hand away. But Ginny didn't pay attention because her mind was going 'Awwwwww' and she agreed to her conscience for once.

"You are brilliant, strong, innocent, caring, fiery... you are just perfect and that is why I can't be with you," he whispered not wanting to say aloud that he didn't want to be with her because that wasn't what he wanted but was the right thing to do. Ginny opened her mouth to say it was not true but he didn't give her chance.

"You deserve someone better, who is also perfect, and who could love you and give you everything that you deserve at least someone better than me. I know I cant have you but still I want you, I know I don't deserve you, but still I love you… even though I know I'm a murderer," he said softly. Ginny was shocked to her core and anger flared inside her at his words… that didn't make a sense. But her anger was nothing in front of his hurt expression. So she went near him and took hold of his hand.

"Look at me Harry," she said silently and when he did she forgot about all her anger, all her pain as she saw his.

"You are not a murderer , you can be anything in the world, you can even be the foulest pig in the world for dumping me but not a murderer," she said and smirked but his face remained as it was his eyes still bore pain so she continued … trying to soothe him.

"How could you think that? You are not a murderer for crying out loud!!!! You killed V-Voldemort Harry, Voldemort and it was not even your choice to make either, as you said and not your decision at that either. You didn't decide to kill him, it was already decided, the decision was already made… you were destined to kill him," she explained. He looked at her, her words were actually making sense but he didn't say anything he wanted her to continue, he wanted her to make him feel better like her presence always did. As if understanding this Ginny continued

"Voldemort killed people for fun Harry, for things he enjoyed doing and you killing him was a good thing. If you hadn't killed him then Merlin knows how many would have died because of him by now! You did a great thing by ridding the world from him," she said and ignored the way his thumb were drawing patterns on her wrist… sending shivers through out her body. But she ignored it… for now.

"I mean look where he landed you… you are alone because of him, he was the one who killed your parents, Sirius, he is the reason Dumbledore is dead, I'd say you are fool if you hadn't killed him," she said smirking and finally he smiled too feeling a little better. His eyes looked into hers… she was captivated by his gaze and didn't want this to end, she wanted more of this so she stepped still closer to him… their breaths mingling, their gaze captivated by the other's.

"You know... I missed you too Harry, I missed you like hell! And as for that someone you mentioned earlier, I just don't want 'anybody' to be that someone, I want you to be that someone, and I want you to love me… I love you and only you to be the one to love me back, because I loved you, and not anybody" she whispered softly their lips almost touching but they didn't take their eyes of each other.

"I have loved you all my life Harry even before I knew the meaning of love… I grew up hearing stories about you, I wanted you to be my prince, I still do…" she whispered softly.

"I want you too Gin," he muttered truthfully.

His eyes dropped to her lips and he leaned in so their nose were almost brushing but he quickly looked up into her eyes and as if in invitation she closed her eyes urging him to continue and that was more than enough for him and so he kissed her.

Their lips tingled with pleasure as they kissed, it was slow and soft as if they had forgotten how to kiss. He was just satisfied with just touching her lips so he slowly moved across her lips tasting it… brushing it ever so sweetly. Harry brought his hands up and cupped her cheeks… her hands were on his shoulders. Before either of them could deepen the kiss Harry had pulled back but not all the way, his lips were still touching hers.

"I wanted to do that from such a long time," he confessed looking at her but her eyes were closed.

"You think I didn't," she asked and she felt him smile against her lips but before she could say anything else he kissed her again… this time with more intensity, more desire. He brought his left hand to her waist and pulled her body closer as his right hand wove through her fiery waves tilting her head to the side for better access with a groan as she tangled both her hands in his hair.

Ginny ran her hand through his soft hair, and massaged his neck affectionately. Harry drew her bottom lip between his and sucked on it lightly, running his tongue across her lips begging for entrance and she gladly accepted his tongue into her mouth and caressed it with her tongue with a moan. They both forgot about everything else, they even forgot where they were… except for each other. Nothing mattered to them anymore… nothing, nobody could stop them from being with each other... ever.

Harry ran his hand on her sides pulling her still closer as he trailed his hand still lower and caressed her soft bottoms through her dress… she moaned into his mouth but pulled away suddenly. She looked up at him... through her eyelashes. But he was too busy at looking how tempting she looked right now, her soft cheeks flushed, her swollen lips parted slightly looking so inviting that he wanted was to take her right then, he leaned in again but she pulled back this time... all the way.

"Harry lets not do it here. I want our first time to be amazing and it would definitely not be on the street," she said biting her lips nervously. His eyes flew swiftly to her eyes and it mirrored the same desire as his She wanted too… he thought. He smiled and nodded.

"Ok" he said and leaned for a quick kiss but he didn't let go of her instead he entwined his hands around her waist and she around his neck. They both looked at each other smiling… glad that they both were finally together. They wanted nothing but to stay in each other's arm.

They didn't have to wait any longer to share their love with each other, they had already waited for three years… they didn't want to wait anymore and that was exactly what Ginny wanted to say to Harry as she leaned in.

"Besides I have a few things in mind that I want you to do… you know to make up for three long years," she whispered seductively into his ear. Harry smirked and pulled back to look at her.

"Yeah?" he asked mocking to be clueless.

"Definitely!" she confirmed seriously.

"Tell me?" he asked huskily and she couldn't say no… not that she wanted to anyway, she was too enticed by his gaze to say no to anything right now. So if she would tell him then she might as well make it a little more… fun and dramatic!

"First, I want you to kiss me in a way that would take my breath away," she breathed slowly and sensuously that took his breath away. But he didn't do anything to interrupt her.

"Then you look far into my eyes and let me know that something amazing is about to happen!" she whispered in such a sexy voice that Harry was thinking … why he hadn't shagged her yet.

"Uh-huh?" he said urging her to continue.

"Then you pull me really close so that all of me is touching all of you," she whispered and he visibly gulped feeling his whole anatomy on the end.

"Then suddenly everything gets sweaty and blurry and then … it's just happening," she finished. He was leaning in for a kiss... when she suddenly pushed him and walked away. Harry was too shocked to think about anything, and then he looked up and saw her retreating form. She turned back slightly and smirked at him innocently.

"Let's go Harry," she announced and started walking again. Harry smirked at her she was going to pay for that… that little minx, he thought and ran after her. When he reached her he caught her wrists and pulled her to him. Before she could protest, he had dipped her back and had kissed her in such a way that she gasped loudly into his mouth.

Ginny felt like… she was floating, Harry was supporting her weight completely, she didn't know for how long he kissed her, but she sure felt going sedated from pleasure. He pulled back after what felt like hours and looked down at her and immediately smiled in satisfaction at the dazed expression on her face. She blinked a few times to get rid of the stars that were shining in front of her… as if she was knocked out for hours.

"Yup! That definitely took my breath away," she said still blinking. He lifted her up but she clutched onto his shirt to catch herself before she could collapse. Sensing how she felt he pulled her into a hug and held onto her … nuzzling her neck with his nose.

"Let me show you everything else then," he whispered and smiled as he felt her smile into his neck. "Hold on," he said and apparated away.
