A/N: I am soooooo sorry for taking so long on the 6th chapter! I have had so much work to do and I had my school play and everything. Now everything is hectic in my life, but I'm on spring break now so I can now concentrate on ending this fic. I don't know where to go with this. It's my first fic and I'm having a writer's block. I'll prob. End it soon w/o a sub plot and just make it fluff and start a new story. Well on with the show!!!

Chapter 6: That's all that counts

The winter months had come and gone. Christmas holiday had gone splendid. Ginny had had the best winter holiday with her new boyfriend, Harry. He had gotten her a silver necklace pendant in shape on a heart with her initials and a gold lightning bolt in the background. It reminded her so much of Harry. She never took it off. She had gotten him some Quidditch boxers with little gold snitches on them as a joke but he actually loved them. Her real gift was a Quidditch book about the Chudley Cannons as well as other teams whiched he loved equally as much.

As the school year progressed and as Harry and Ginny grew closer, Harry was quite afraid to be leaving Hogwarts soon. He didn't know what to expect after he graduated. They had only been going out for a few months but he couldn't stand being with out her. He loved her with all his heart. Ginny still had one more year left, and Harry was dreading the day of his graduation. He didn't know what to do. He couldn't confide in Ron with his dilemma, so the next best thing was Ron's girlfriend, Hermione, and also one of Harry's good friends.

"Hey 'Mione?" inquired Harry.

"Yea, Harry what the trouble?" she replied.

"Well our seventh year is drawing to a close, and well, I don't know what to do about Ginny. I love her soooooo much and I can't be with out her, but she still has on more year of school left. I don't know what to do!"

"Well, Harry, I can't tell you what to do, but you can always be with her no matter what happens. It doesn't matter that she is in school for one more year, just that she finishes it, and that you love her as intensely as you do. And if you ever hurt her you know Ron would kill you. You'd be roasted, toasted, and burnt to a crisp!"

"Yea I know. I think I know what I'm gonna do. Can you do me a favor, 'Mione?"

"Sure anything for a friend."

"Can you part yourself from Ron for one afternoon to go with me to Hogsmeade?"

"What for?" she asked with a questionable grin on her face.

"I need a woman's perspective to help me out on my task."

"I'd be glad to help." She said with a pleased smile.

A/n: AHHHH what's he gonna do?? lol end the story here… I think not- I'll go for longer I think J

Hermione and Harry arrived in Hogsmeade that afternoon. They had a hell of a time trying to pull of a non-suspicious story to get out with out the other two. Harry and Hermione entered the Three Broomsticks and sat at a table with some butter beer.

"So let me get this straight, Potter, you want me to help you set up an romantic evening with Ginny, where you can be alone, to then propose to her to show your undieing love for her so she wont forget you when you leave. All this after I then help make sure the ring you pick is perfect." Hermione exclaimed with an exasperated look on her face.

"Almost correct. I know I'll get the perfect ring, I just need you to help with the other part- because somehow or another we can't seem to be alone long enough to happen, especially with Ron. I need you to keep him away while this is going on. You know how protective he is." Harry said.

"Right, I get it, somehow. Well you can kick everyone out of your dorm and you can set something up there, or find somewhere outside where no one visits and that is private."

"Well, a picnic on the floor of my dorm room floor could turn out nice. You could help me bewitch it to look like a peaceful forest with a waterfall. I can make sure everyone is out of there. Is there another Hogmeade weekend coming up? Or something else that would make a lot of people not be around?"

"I'm not quite sure, Harry. I don't know how soon you want to do this."

"I'll figure it out, 'Mione. Just be ready to do it when I ask- ok?"

"Sure, Harry. Why don't we head to the wizard jewlery store. A ring might be nice to put on her finger. Though I do think this is quite fast."

"Herm- shut up. I know this, I can feel it in my gut. It's the right thing to do. I love her."

"That's all that counts, Harry. That's all that counts."

A/N: ok this one is done. Its 1:50am. I'll right ch 7 tommorrow. Thanks so much for the reviews. I think this one might be coming to a close. I'll start another story during break as soon as I finish this one. Thanx so much for waiting patiently. I've had such a terrible mental block! Ciao!!
