They reached the Owlery in silence as the two stepped on mice bones, and feathers on the ground. Ginny ignored the sounds the bones made and looked past all of that at the stars in the sky as she spent what little time she had with Harry. He was given permission to enter Hogwarts whenever Harry wanted seeing how he defeated the Dark Lord.
Ginny had forgotten to mail her letter to her mum while she was in Hogsmead, and Harry offered to walk back to the school with her. She used one of he school owls to send her letter. The two of them watched the owl struggle through the first signs of snow as it fell to the ground. This was the part they hated. The good bye. Harry held Ginny's hand tightly as she looked into the distance.
"Gin, There is something I've been meaning to tell you. I didn't want to say it in front of the others this afternoon knowing it was a private thing. I might not get the chance again till Christmas, and I feel that you need to know now," Harry stammered.
"What is it?" She turned to look at him.
"I love you," he stated. He was a bit worried seeing how he chose the owlery of all places to say those three little words she would remember forever. She looked at him surprised.
"I love you too Harry. I always have. Since the first moment I saw you in my house at my table," She smiled at Harry. He breathed in. He was glad that was over with.
"Oh good, you had me worried," Harry said truthfully.
"I'm worried my brothers would say something about being too young. But I don't care," Ginny looked at Harry with a gentle smile. He knew she would remember this moment forever.
Author's note: I know its a little short, but I always pictured Harry having the right to go in Hogwarts whenever he wanted seeing how he defeated the Dark Lord and all.
