"My Heart Will Go On" Chapter 15: The Final Straw

**************************************************************************** **

The next day, school started once again, but the group of Gryfinddor friends split a bit. Hermione & Dean weren't talking to either of them, & Seamus wasn't talking to Ginny & Harry. Ginny was really upset that Hermione & Dean didn't believe her; now she knew they never read her note. She was going to confront her later, but now she had Harry to calm her down, along with Ron, Parvati, & Lavender. At breakfast, Dean & Hermione didn't say a word to either of them.

Ginny was getting really ticked. All day, Hermione & Dean avoided them, & now it was the final straw; she had to confront those two. Straight after dinner, she, Harry, & Lavender formed up a plan to get Ginny to confront them. They headed to the Gryfinddor common room & grabbed Harry's Invisibility Cloak, & Harry & Ginny went under it & followed Lavender back to the prefect common room. Once inside, Lavender told Ginny to go up the stairs that had a lion above them & go all the way up until she reached a door; that lead to the balcony, where Hermione & Dean were probably at. Harry stayed with Lavender, but whispered before she went up, "Good luck. I love you." "I love you too," she whispered back, then throwing the cloak over herself & heading to the balcony.

Once up there, she opened the door quietly & saw Dean & Hermione, Dean's arms wrapped around her tightly & Hermione's head resting on his chest. She heard Hermione said, "I can't believe Ginny didn't warn us that they were coming. That's why I trusted her; she would warn me if something was up." Before Dean could reply, Ginny whispered, "But I did Hermione." Hermione & Dean gasped as Ginny took off the cloak & gave them a stare. "No you didn't," Hermione replied, shocked to see her. "I sent you my owl, Titania, with a note on it. Didn't you get it?" She saw Hermione going into thought, then lowering her head & whispered, "I saw Titania, but I thought she was there to torture us, not knowing it was your owl. I'm sorry Gin. Could you forgive me?" Ginny looked at Hermione, & saw indeed she was telling the truth & meant that she was sorry. "I forgive you." They hugged, then the door opened again, Harry & Lavender standing there. "Hermione, Dean, we're sorry we were spying on you guys. We were just worried sick about you two. Its nice to know that you love each other, just don't forget us," Lavender stated, happy that Ginny & Hermione made up. "How could we get along without you two either?" Dean stated, smiling, as he pulled Lavender into a hug. They all hugged, & talked for a bit. Lavender soon left, going to go convince Seamus to apologize, leaving Harry, Ginny, Hermione, & Dean standing on the balcony. Harry hugged Ginny from behind, warmth & love radiating into her, leaving Dean & Hermione giving them a happy gaze, standing in the same position. "We better get going Gin," Harry said, going to lead Ginny out. "Let me talk to Hermione for a minute; I'll be down soon." "Ok, sweet." He gave her a peck on the cheek, & Dean assisted him down the stairs. "Hermione?" "Yeah Gin?" "Thanks." Apparently, Hermione looked shocked, then asked, "What for?" "For convincing me to tell Harry I loved him." "Oh Gin! That's great!" Hermione exclaimed in joy, giving her a hug. Ginny just grinned, & they headed down the steps, meeting with Dean & Harry. As Harry & Ginny went to leave, with the Invisibilty Cloak over them, they saw Dean & Hermione going over to a love seat by the fire, love radiating in their eyes. Ginny glanced at Harry, & he looked down upon her, & she knew they had a rare love, because she saw love radiating from his eyes, & love was radiating from hers.
