A.N : PLEASE READ : A big sorry guys for not posting the chapter. It's because when I accessed the front page of this site I found that there was a bug bothering people having Windows XP. I have a Windows XP professional. So I didn't want to take risks and I left without reading any stories and posting my chapter. But I don't want to keep you all waiting so despite the risk I am posting the chapter now.

Ch-10 Harry's happiness


"Um....mm...h...hi... Harry ." Ginny slowly said stumbling on every syllable.
Harry felt weird to be talking to a person whose body was lying on his lap. But he knew he had something really important to convey. He must take his chance now before it's too late.
"Hi Gin!" Harry saw Ginny big eyes widen all the more.
'What had happpened?Did he say something wrong?He just wished her hi.'
'Oh my gosh. He called me Gin. I don't mind if I die now. Oops... you are already dead, Gin. But whatever, this is the maximum I can get from Harry. I am content.....I am happy.... I'll miss him ....a lot....But he'll have his parents and he won't miss me.He has never even noticed me more than Ron's little tag along sis...Anyway atleast as a dead body I got the privilege to be on his lap....Stop these thoughts Ginny someone is calling you...'
"Ginny....Ginny..What happened?" Harry asked.
"Oh nothing...nothing at all. Just got lost in some thoughts."Ginny answered quickly.
'Now, now ,Ginny say good bye and leave. That's best for you. Why simply cause more heart ache?' Without knowing she said loudly,"Yes."
"What did you say now Gin..I mean Ginny?"
"I was just wishing that you have a nice life and defeat Voldermort . O.k then bye..bye..got to go.." Ginny said this and tried to practically run off. But something held her back...an unknown force.
Meanwhile Lily whispered something to Harry. He had been looking forlorn but now he cheered up though a trace of sadness still lingered.

James also nodded to show that he affirmed to whatever Lily had just whispered to him.

Harry smiled while thinking, 'So Harry, go on, do it.....You have your parent's opinion.....that's what matters! You were torn up before as you couldn't choose between your parents and the girl you love. But now you know what to do...or what must be done!'
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
She could feel that Harry had stood up slowly removing her dead body from his lap. He was moving towards her.

'Why can't he just leave me alone? Now hold on Gin you musn't loose control or break into tears. Be happy and don't cry. he must have forgotten everything you said. Leave it Gin you won't cry. O.k '
"Wait a sec Gin... I mean Ginny!"
"Yes." Ginny said slowly.
"Ginny, why don't you want to come back?"
Ginny answered faking harshness, "I already answered that and must I repeat it hundred times."
"No, but just answer once again for me !"


"Why are you set on torturing me like this? Leave me alone and let me rest in peace" Ginny replies miserably.

But Harry just said "Please Gin..please!"
'I should have known.... that I wouldn't be able to resist Harry's pleas .So what should I tell him...Just give him some story and no tears, nothing...just fake a bit of anger and give him a story...' Ginny thought before answering.
"As I told before I don't want to come back to this world. I don't want to come back and destroy your new life ... a life of not being an orphan any more, a life with your parents, a life of happiness, joy and l...love.." Ginny stopped.
"You are wrong Gin. You are wrong..."

"This is the last straw and I can't take anymore. You say that I am wrong." Ginny temper taking a good hold of her. "Yes I am wrong in deciding not to remain, I am wrong in allowing your parents to stay, I am wrong in giving you a chance to live a happy life, I am wrong in loving you like this...I am always wrong....I.." Ginny could no longer control herself but to cry was a relief.

"I didn't mean it that way Gin. I just wanted to tell you that you are wrong in thinking that I'll be leading a happy life if you are not there. I can't be happy if you are not there...."

"What do you mean by that Harry? I don't think that the fact that I am not there matter to you. Ginny said. "You have never noticed me before and why must you now? Are you mocking me or something?"

"No, I am not, I am serious Gin. I mean it when I say that I won't be happy witout you. I really mean it." Harry was now looking straight into Ginny's eyes.

She could feel the truth in those words. 'His eyes prove it but what does he mean by that? Is what I am thinking right?'

"Gin you must believe me. I guess I must confess everything, mat be tha's the only chance I have got." Harry inhales deeply and continues. "I can't say long speeches or write odes, but whatever I am going to say now comes from within. I just love you!"

Harry waited to see the effect of his words.

Gin looked as if she hadn't understood anything.She was clearly puzzled.

So he repeated again, "I really love you Gin!"

"Harry please don't joke at something like this. I know my brothers tease me on this topic. But I never expected you do so. Now I am sure you are making fun of what I said beofre I left. You are making fun of my love. I can't bear this and that is one of the main reasons I want to leave."

"I am not joking Gin, I am saying that I love you in front of my parents, your parents and siblings and you. I must be crazy to joke on such a topic as this. I don't how or when it began exactly but I know I love you and you only I can love like this."

Gin was laughing and crying."I wish...I can come back NOW but it's wrong to come back interfering your life with your parents. I really want to come back Harry. But.."

"No buts young lady you must come back! Before you decide just ask James and Lily their opinion!"

Everyone knew who the voice was before even looking. It was Prof.Dumbledore.

Lily and James rushed forward to Prof.Dumbledore. Both of them were happy at meeting their dear prof.

"I sorry Arthur for the destruction of your house but I am sure at present something else takes your attention." Prof. Dumbledore added after exchanging greetings with his former students.

"Very correct as usual,Sir." Mr.Weasley answered.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++


Lily now went to Ginny and said, "As Prof said my dear you must ask us before taking a decision. It was us who were brought back for a death of over fourteen years. You haven't even been dead for a day. So I hope you respect our opinion."

"Yes, ofcourse Mam." Ginny answers.

"Now, now don't call me Mam after all I am your lover's Mom." Lily winks at Ginny.

Everyone laughs at this.

Ginny herself was looking exactly like a ripe tomato at the moment joined in.

James said, "See child, for us death is something we have got used to. Besides we have each other but Harry he wants you back more than anyone. It's our duty to give him back his love. First all we have to be thankful for you because without your courage and sacrifice nothing would have given us this second chance."

"James is right. Ginny you must come back as you don't belong anywhere but here. We know that it is hard for Harry to choose between you and us. If you really care for Harry's well being then you must come back. This is all we want from you."

"Ginny please....for my sake atleast...." Harry pleadingly says.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

After a long pause. Ginny spoke.

"O.k then as you all wish let it be done. I am ready to come back."

Lily turns to Prof.Dumbledore and says,"I am sure you know the spell.We are also ready."

James adds,"Please give my wife's and my regards to rest of the Marauders."

Lily goes over to harry and gives him a kiss. "You have blessings always and remeber that I'll be always there with you."

Then James hugs him and whispers loudly, "Continue to uphold the Marauders' name. Ask Sirius for some of the pranks we did and don't forget to get details of your Mom's funny love story. Last but not the least : Take care of your dear like I took care of mine."

Lils shakes her head and pulls James along saying,"What an advice to give to your Son!"

"So ready all three?" Prof.Dumbledore asked.

"Yes Professor." All three chorused.

Prof.Dumbledore now opened the box and said a spell which could not be understood even by Mr.Weasley. It was some other foreign language.

The music started playing and now Lily and James who were busy waving to them had vanished. Ginny's form blurred again.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Everyone eyes were on Ginny's dead body. As Prof.Dumbledore finished the incantation the music stopped and the necklace silently rose in the air and started moving.

Harry thought that it was coming back to him but how wrong he was.

The necklace landed right next to Ginny. The pendent was brightly shining and rays of gold passed into Ginny's body. She slowly started stirring and was coming back into this world.

"Where am I?" Ginny said. Then everything came back to her the deatheater's attack, her death, Harry's parents and her spirit.
She was now sat up.Then spotted a neckalce right next to her. The pendent was gleaming brightly as if asking her to open it.

She took it and opened the pendent and she gave a loud gasp at what was written there.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Harry went next to her.

He wanted to see what had made her gasp so loudly. He guessed that maybe it was the words written in the pendent by his father to his mother that evoked such a response.
Harry then thought, 'Why should Ginny be so astonished at that? It was a sign of his parent's love.'
But what he saw next was not what he had expected. He was completely not prepared for it. He couldn't believe this.
Now instead of the old inscription something else was written :

"To my dearest Gin,

Pledging everlasting love

Harry"


Ginny looked with tear filled eyes at Harry. She didn't know what to say or do she just knew that she was too happy. She just did what she thought was best to do at that moment.

She just got up and hugged him.

Harry was pleasantly surprised at this outburst of affection. He too hugged her.

Both of them were happy though tears flowed freely.They were both lost in some other world till someone cleared their voice.

They both sprung apart.

For so long they had been oblivious of their surroundings and others. All they could think was that they both had someone to love and care for.

But that clearing of the voice had brought them back to earth!

A.N : I guess now you all would have understood why I took the poll. I had written two possible endings for the story after the last chapter where Ginny is reluctant to come back. I chose the one where she would come back ultimately. But something in me wanted to make this fic a tragedy just to see the effect. So to be on the safer side I asked for the poll.

I am thankful I did so or else I would be hexed by all you wonderful people out there to Timbukto.
I thank those of you who reviewed last chapter. Your reviews give me a chance to laugh over my blunders and mistakes. I wish you all would continue reading this fic.
