The Grand Finish ;) Author's Note: Here it is - the grand finish. I'm almost sad to see it go. I can't say anything else now or I'll spoil the story :P, so ya better read it. I hope you like it, and please review or else I might not do something like this *ever again*...;) Disclaimer at the end because if I tell you the title of the song now it'll spoil it!! ;) Hmmm...darn...but I don't want to ruin the ending either. OH WELL..."Lifted" belongs to the Eurythmics...so I *did* keep the whole Annie Lennox thing going all along. ;) And get the album 'Peace' RIGHT NOW or I will seek you out and...okay, I'm getting carried away. Stop reading my babblings and concentrate on Ginny & Harry!!!!

Don't be afraid when you
Walk through the dark
Just when you feel that
Your day fell apart
Stay strong
Keep holding on
Clear skies ahead
And the dark day is done
Keep on lifted
Keep on lifted

Ginny kept her face against the cold stone wall, feeling the cold reaching inside of her, all over. How could she tell him? How could she have done it? She didn't know why, didn't know how she'd done it, she only knew that she felt she'd be standing here forever with her forehead cold, her hands cold, her cheeks cold, and her ears red.
She'd told him. She'd told him how she felt about him, at last, and she knew that she should have been happy. It was just like all her dreams had said, and then they'd go off holding hands into the sunset...but something was wrong, and the dreams weren't right. They were wrong. It was all wrong. She hadn't meant to tell him...of course she had.
Don't get scared now, Ginny, she told herself. Be strong. Keep going. There's no turning back now.

I wish you everything
That you could want
Just when the day finds you
Turned back to front
Stay clear
Rescue is near
When you feel
That you're drowned in despair
Keep on lifted
Keep on lifted

Harry was confused, horribly confused. He searched through his thoughts for an answer as Ginny leaned hopelessly against the wall before him. He didn't want to disappoint her with anything, but he didn't really know how he felt. He didn't know, and he couldn't think now, with her right there. His brain somehow wouldn't operate for him. He couldn't speak. What had she just told him?
She loved him. She really did, and it wasn't like he thought at all. Ron had told him...
Ron didn't matter now. Ginny mattered. She was waiting, and he had to tell her. But tell her what? He didn't want her to walk away full of sorrow and despair, as she had been. He put the pieces together now...the sad smile she gave him all the time...the crimson ears as he talked to Hermione, or Cho, or even Lavender Brown...she thought she wasn't good enough for him. She thought he liked someone else, but they were all just his friends. Just friends. But Ginny - he couldn't let her walk away a wreck of a person. She used to be so self-confident, so thoughtful, so loving. So...Harry caught himself in his thoughts. Could it be true? Did he really like her? His heart beat faster and faster, and he heard himself breathing as he stared at the crumpled figure of the beautiful red-haired girl in front of him. Beautiful.
"Ginny..." She turned. Beautiful. "I love you. I never even realized it before...I'm sorry for everything."

You're a bird in the sky now baby

Could it be true? Was it true? It was true...and in a jumble of tears and laughs, suddenly Ginny was in Harry's arms...maybe her dreams were right after all. Suddenly everything was right. It was better than her dreams...it was so real. Real.

Earthbound
Feet on the ground

In his arms. Ginny was in his arms. Harry smiled down at her, happy at last. He never knew...she never knew...but now they both knew. She'd never have to be in pain again. Never. He'd make sure of it!

Now you can find peace at last
Now you can find peace at last
