Happy new year to all my readers! O.K just so you know my beta, told me this should be rated T/M (There's some swearing and mentions of sex but it's not graphic or anything) since the story is already T, I thought I warn you. I'm unsure about this chapter because it's nothing like I've ever before, so please review... but NO FLAMES. Anyway I stop talking and let you read now...

37. Wait For Me

Aiming to drown his sorrows, Harry ordered one more firewhiskey and downed it, grimacing at the taste it left behind.

"Wow, Potter - maybe you should slow down."

Harry turned around to see someone he thought he would never see again...

"Ginny! What are you doing here?" Harry he asked, turning on his stool.

"Celebrating the harpies win - not that you would know I'm playing Chaser, I bet you don't even know Hermione and Ron are engaged!" Ginny shot back.

"True – she..."

"Yes, your wife wouldn't let you stay with your best friends after everything you're been through together, what possessed you to get back together with her? Was she a good shag or something?" Ginny asked to Harry who was just thinking about how her dress was low enough... stop, Harry thought, you're married – even if... No, can't think about that – that's why I'm here in the first place…

"Not that you're bitter," Harry replied.

"Whatever ... I don't care – I hope you be happy with her." Ginny started to walk away.

Harry stared after her with her hips swaying slightly god she's sexy when she's angry

"Ginny! Wait!" Harry dashed after her and followed her outside where it was pouring down with rain; he then grabbed her by the wrist.

"Wait, will you?" Harry slurred

"Why? So you can break my heart again? I've done my waiting for you Harry, I waited 6 years for you to notice me when that I was a girl, and then when you did we have the best couple of months…" Ginny whispered, desperately trying not to cry – she was not a girl who cried. Her clothes getting more soaked by the minute. "Then you broke up with me – I accepted it because you had to do something that was so much bigger than us, stuff was going on, but I waited – waited another couple of months for you. Then you came back – saved the world – I thought finally we would be together, but then I saw you snogging the life out of her with your hand underneath her shirt."

The rain continued to pour down, soaking both of them to the bone – their clothes sticking to them.

"Then you had the cheek to come to me, and pretend like nothing had happened – I saw you Harry." Ginny muttered then started to walk up the street.

Harry started to follow her. "Ginny, what are you going on about?"

"Don't try to play dumb Harry!"

"I never kissed anyone after the battle!"

"I saw you kissing Cho..."

"It WASN'T ME!" Harry screamed "HOW COULD HAVE IT BEEN? I WAS TRYING TO FIND YOU!"

"What?!" Ginny whispered and step away from Harry as he walked towards her, but stopped when he hooked his arm around her waist.

"I was trying to find you, Gin – I only met Cho again around 3 months after you broke my heart and said you didn't want me back."

Ginny breath caught in her throat – "No, you... you can't be telling the truth."

"I am, I never stop loving you, you want to know one of the real reasons she won't let me see you guys – because on our wedding night I shouted your name out…" Harry whispered "I only stayed with her because – I couldn't face not being with you, I heard you got back with Dean Thomas."

"I broke up him around three months ago – I caught him cheating on me."

"Did you see who the girl was?"

"No, only that she had black hair..."

"Yeah, I've been gone for around three months, looked forward to coming home, and she was cheating on me.

"Harry…" Ginny whispered cupping his face with her hands "I'm so sorry."

"No, I'm the one who is sorry, I should fought harder for you, made you see sense." Harry replied then softly kissed her on the lips.

A thousands emotions came through as he kissed her moist lips for the first time in over 5 years. But the prominent one was relief when he felt her kiss him back, he clutch her towards his body, not really believing that she was actually here.

Ginny ripped herself from his embrace. "Harry you're still married, we can't do anything, No matter how much I've been imagining it." Ginny laughed shaking

"How do you know that I want you ... like that…" Even in his head Harry heard laughter.

Ginny added her own laughter then hugged Harry closer to her and answered Harry.

"Harry, where am I standing?"

"Erm, close to me…" Harry replied, as if it was a trick question.

"Yes!" Then Ginny pushed into him.

"Ahh, I get what you mean now!" Harry moaned…

"Took you a while." Ginny nodded then kissed him again.

"I figured it out eventually."

(4 Months later)

"Love you…" Harry whispered as he held Ginny close to him and kissed her on the sensitive spot on her neck.

"Love you too." Ginny moaned kissing him slightly on the lips "Honey, what's wrong." Ginny whispered when she felt Harry stiffen.

"I'm nervous."

"Why?"

"I have something I have to ask you because I don't want to make the same mistakes again, because one of the biggest mistakes I have ever made was, not fighting for you."

"Harry? What's this about?" Ginny asked

"Ginny, I love you so much, I always have, and I always will so... will you marry me?" Harry asked

"YES!" Ginny crushed herself to him... "A million times yes!" Ginny started to kiss Harry all over his face.

They weren't going to mess this up again.
