"Red Haired Goddess"

Chapter 18: The Images, make them stop, make them stop!!
Author's note: Howdy. I know it's been a while, but I got grounded. **again** I started to write another one, but decided to stop, as it was kinda depressing and I wasn't sure where to go with it. This is the last chapter, guys. Oh, and I'm going to use a quote from a very very amusing tale I read yesterday from a very awesome authoress' story "The Greatest Present"
Harry blinked repeatedly, and Dean finally nudged him. "So, you gonna play, or what?"
"Of course not," Seamus said, grinning. "The famous Potter just got slammed by a girl he thought was in love with him."
Ron looked baffled down board. "I can't believe it," he said, not moving.
Harry blinked a few more times, and then shook his head. "I don't know what I'm going to do about that one. I'm finally willing to bring her back and she blows me off."
Ron looked at him, finally bringing his attention from the board game in front of him. "Oh come off it Potter," he said, seeing through the fake anger.
"Did you just see what she did?" "Harry, will you just shut-up and go snog my sister?" Three pairs of eyes turned towards him. Harry coughed. "Excuse me?"
"You heard me. Go snog her senseless. Or go kiss someone else. Maybe it'll make her crazy with jealousy."
"Either that, or I'll end up in the Hospital Wing with a broken face."
Dean snickered.
"What?"
"I just imagined you making out with Draco," he said, snorting half way through.
"Dear god, do not make me retch," Ron replied.
Hermione chose that moment to walk out of the dorms, blowing on her nails. She saw the four boys, excluding Harry all giggling like girls.
"What's so funny?" she asked.
Seamus looked up. "Harry making out with your boyfriend."
Harry started to blush. "You didn't," Hermione said, looking at him. Then she thought about it. "Did you?"
Harry exploded. "Of course not! Ron was telling me to go snog Ginny senseless." He paused, and Hermione raised an eye brow at Ron. "Either that, or go kiss someone else right in front of her, so it'll make her jealous, and Dean started laughing. I asked him why, and he imagined me making out with Malfoy!"
Hermione closed her eyes, her face in a tight grimace. "That is disgusting," she told them all, her eyes blinking rapidly.
Ron, however was still part laughing, part crying. "The images, make them stop, make them stop!"
Hermione shook her head. "Oh wizard chess!" she exclaimed, looking at the board in front of Dean.
"Fancy a game?" he asked her.
Harry stood and went out of the common room, shaking his head. He had to talk to Ginny.
He found her in the library. She was pointedly ignoring me. "Gin, will you please just talk to me?" he asked, exasperated.
"Hmm? I'm a tad busy," she told him, reading some magazine.
Harry grabbed the magazine out from under her. "YW, eh?"
"Give it back, Potter, or I'll," she said, reaching for her copy of young witch. It had a picture of Orlando Bloom winking at her on the front.
"You'll what?" he asked, grinning down at her.
She closed her eyes, trying to block out that grin. It made him utterly handsome and she couldn't take it.
"Harry. We do need to talk."
The walked out of the library, and towards the great hall. The left the castle and walked toward the frozen lake. The snow was cold, and Ginny didn't have her cloak with her. She closed her eyes and shivered.
"You cold?" he asked, ready to remove his cloak for her.
"It's not that," she told him, only partially lying.
He placed the cloak on her shoulders, and looked down at her. "Then what is it?" he asked quietly.
"This is the place," she whispered. "The place where."
"Ginny, love, please."
"Can you just kiss me?"
Harry looked down at his Red Haired Goddess. He smiled and leaned down. Before his lips caught hers, they moved over, kissing her reddened cheek. He felt wetness there, and he looked into her eyes; and saw them glisten with tears.
"What's wrong?" he asked.
"I'm scared." she whispered.
"I am too, Gin," he told her, taking her hands in his. "I don't want to lose you. And if that means," he felt Ginny flinch and he continued. "And if that means protecting you with my life, so be it."
"So, what does that mean?" Ginny asked, not trusting her voice.
"It means that I won't let you out of my sight for at least the next 60 years."
Ginny shook her head.
"What? You won't marry me?" he asked, looking down at her.
"It's not that, you prat."
"Then what is it?" he asked.
"Of course I'll marry," she told him, bringing a cold hand to his cheek.
"So what was the shake of the head for?"
"I was amused at your way of proposing. It's exactly what I expected from a guy like you."
"What's that supposed to mean?" he asked, grabbing her hand and turning her toward the castle.
"Nothing," she replied, squealing as he started to tickle her side.
.
As they got back to the tower, he told her to stay outside the common room.
He walked into the common room, trying not to grin like a fool, but failing miserably.
"So, did you not find her?" Dean asked.
"Of course he did!" Seamus said. "Look at that grin on his face."
"No, I didn't find her."
"Really," Ron replied, looking up from the game of chess Hermione and he were playing.
"But I did find someone." He walked out of the common room.
"Now where's that bloody git gone?" Hermione asked.
"I'd like you all to meet my fiancé," he replied, walking in, tugging a blushing Ginny.
"Oh my god," Hermione said. "I can't believe you guys finally did it!"
~***~ the end ~***~
Authors note: Now there will be an epilogue, and I can't believe I finally ended the thing. Lol. Please review!!! I would like to thank everyone who has taken time to review or read my story. It does mean a lot. I know the plot line kind of sucked, and was completely unoriginal and my writing was short and kinda blunt, but I think this story turned out ok. I've been reading other fics and I'm getting better. I'll probably write a few more H/G ones in the future, so please be sure to check out those. Thank you very much. Have a Happy Holiday!!
