The next chapter in a long line of chapters that is more commonly called a story or a novel. Novel of course being a story of a curtian length containing a long line of chapters.

(ignore my crazy english professor talk)

Hello everyone, this is a new chapter.

Ok, first and formost, i wish to appologise for this chapter, it is really short and it is quite pointless, all it really is is Ron and Ginny making up.

Secondly, THE SLAYER, I wish to thank you for your concern over the alleged coping of this fic by another author. I never clamed to own the concept of this story, so truthfully, it doesn't really bother me that some one has written a similar story. I read the story you mentioned to me, but i believe that it has many differences compared to this one. You still rock though!!!

Ginny watched as her older brother tucked himself into the corner of the church, sticking to the shadows, his head leaning against the cold stone.

When she looked closer, she realised that he was crying.

"Crap" Ginny whispered to herself as she stood and moved to the corner he inhabited. She sat close to him.

"What's wrong with you?" She asked in the tone she always used when she was angry but still cared about some thing.

"Go away Gin" He mumbled "I am ok"

"You..." Ginny swiped her finger across her brothers cheek "...are crying, you have not cried in years"

"It is nothing" he told her, wiping his own cheeks, trying to hide his tears.

"You know you cant lie to me Ron, come on..." She began, and then softened her voice "If this is because of me and Draco..." Ginny whispered.

"No, it's not that" Ron turned his back to lean against the wall. Ginny sighed and cuddled up to him.

"Tell me what is wrong, ickle Ronnikins" Ginny smiled. Ron began to laugh. He had always found it ironic he hated that nickname from every one other than Gin. When Bill, Charlie, George or Fred called him that, it was an insault. But when Ginny said it, it was a term of endearment.

"Dont call me that Gin, I am getting to old to be Ickle Ronninkins" He told her.

"You are to old to be crying to...tell me what's wrong" Ginny asked.

"She doesn't love me" He whispered, "Just another person who doesn't love me"

"Oh, Ron, I am so sorry, I know how much Hermione means to you" Ginny sympathised. "And people do love you"

"I know, I just went through this with her" Ron told her.

"I...I love you....you are a real pain in the ass some times, but I love you" Ginny replied.

"I love you to Gin, you annoy the crap out of me to" Ron grinned

"I didn't mean what I said about you being jealous" Ginny appologised.

"You were right" Ron said.

"I was dead wrong" She replied strongly.

"May be you were right for once...I saw you with, Malfoy...I am mean, Draco, and I saw that you were really happy about it all, and then I just thought of me and Mione and how we will never be like that" Ron explained, he wiped his cheek again, brushing off another tear that had escaped.

"You will be that happy one day Ron, maybe not with Mione, but you will" Ginny promised. "I mean, if Percy can find a girl, you'd have no problems"

They laughed together.

"I am not a little girl any more Ron" Ginny told him, begining a speech she had been practising in her head all morning.

"I know you are not, I just dont want to believe it" Ron replied.

"I am 16..." She added.

"And you always acted older" Ron replied

"Yeah, the maturity skipped you and the twins" Ginny laughed

"That is not nice Miss Weasley...I mean, umm, Mrs Malfoy" Ron told her. Ginny could tell that Ron was dying to say something about it all.

"Go on, let it out" Ginny smiled

"Hey, I promised I wouldn't say anything" Ron reminded her.

"Please, say some thing about it" She begged, Ron smiled at her.

"What were you thinking..." Ron began, but was cut off by Ginny wrapping her arms around him, burring her head into his neck.

"I may never agree with what you think Ron, but I always want to know your opinions" She told him.

"Really...ok, I think he is a prat, I think you may need some industrial strength therapy, I think I am going to have to kill you both if you come to me and say I am going to be an uncle, I think..." Ron began to list.

"Alright Weasley, to much of a good thing" She smiled, he grinned.

"We all good?" Ron asked

"Of course we are" They hugged again. "And the only person who needs therapy is Hermione"

"Naw, I wish her happiness..." Ron started.

"No you dont..." Ginny replied

"No, I dont" Ron laughed "I want her to be happy with me..."

"I'll go knock some sense into her..." Ginny laughed, moving to stand up. Ron took her hand and pulled her back down.

"I guess you'll be moving out of the burrow then?" Ron asked out of no where.

"Unless you think the others will let Draco stay at home?" Ginny smiled, Ron nodded.

"Guess not"

There was a cough, and the few conversations around the room stopped. Everyone looked up at the source of the noise, Crabbe.

"Ummm, I might not be a smart person..." He began.

"Can say that again" Harry muttered to himself from where he sat beside Dumbledore.

"But I am pretty sure, Dead bodies are not meant to move" Crabbe replied, Every one stood, and looked around.

True to Crabbe's word, Goyles body was gone.
