Ok, I wont take long; get ready for some surprises!

###########################################################

Ginny was standing, triumphantly as the Lord landed on the ground, and disappeared into smoke. Elliot had a worried look on his face, but didn't think about what he just saw. The Dark Ones fleeted, some killed on the way.

What was left of the army, searched for the deceased, they found many bodies of aurours, and they were looking through the rubble when, Hermione suddenly gasped.

There, lying on the ground was Lupin, he was sprawled on the ground, a look of triumph on hie face none the less, Sirius came up to where everyone was standing, and, laughed between tears. "Fool, he ways always a idiot, couldn't even die properly." He smiled weakly as they covered his face.

They found many bodies scattered across the place, they found heaps of aurours, and then, they saw the one and only teacher dead, Prof. Sprout! She was on the floor, a look of surprised as if someone had struck her from behind. Harry cursed, Ron banged his fist against the wall, Hermione fainted and Dumbledore just stood there, so much grief, so much pain, and so much loss, so little meaning.

"Ginny, I, I'm sorry." Ron said behind her, Ginny turned around, not knowing what he meant, then, she saw, before she swayed and fainted, she saw Draco, lying down, motionless, a smile plastered on his face.

Ginny woke up in the Hospital Wing a couple of days later, she didn't open her eyes, she didn't want to remember about the war, no, there wasn't even a war, it was a dream, a really realistic nightmare.. Ginny was crying as Ron, Fred, George, Harry and Elliot waited for her; Hermione was still unconscious.

Ron sprung up, quickly pulled down by George who shook his head, so much death, Ron had a scar on his hand where he banged his fist against the wall, (Dumb, I know) and Fred had a bandage when he had been hit unconscious when a falling piece of rubble hit him in the head, they thought him dead at first, until they saw the rubble moving slowly under him.

"Hey guys." Ginny whispered without opening her eyes, she knew they were there, she didn't need someone to read it out to her that Ron was there, or Harry, or the rest of her brothers, but, she knew Draco wasn't there. (She winced slightly)

"Ginny." Ron said in a relieving tone.

"Hey." The rest answered, she heard Elliot's voice, her eyes opened.

She saw everyone she expected to be there, except for Hermione.

"She's alright." Elliot answered, seeing her looking among the audience. She nodded but stopped as it hurt her head.

"I better go, homework." Most of them said, they wished Ginny well, and they left, one-by-one, Elliot was left there by himself, looking at Ginny worriedly, she was looking at Elliot, weary and tiredly.

"Elliot?"

"Yeah?"

"Can I see Gulino again?"

Elliot smiled disappointed, turned into the dog and jumped next to Ginny; Ginny grabbed him and started sobbing uncontrollably.

It was a couple days before she came out the ward. When she left, she had double what the entire sweet factory would have, as she couldn't bring herself to eat it.

She went upstairs, with the lollies, and slumped on her bed, her head in the pillow and cried, a small black dog snuggled next to her, she looked at him, she carried him towards her and kissed him on the head, it licked her cheek, she hugged it and cried herself to sleep.

"Ginny?" a familiar voice sprouted from somewhere in her head, she recognised it; it was Elliot!

"Hi." She said, not opening her eyes.

"Well, I just wanted to tell you that it's Saturday, and, you can stay in bed." He said, although he knew that she wouldn't have got up if it were to save her. He got up when Ginny asked. "Can you stay, as Elliot, not Gulino?"

"Sure." He said, she heard his smile as he sat down; she curled up next to him as he stroked her hair, and she grabbed his free hand and didn't let go.

Ginny woke up again, it was dark, she could tell, and someone was next to him, it was Elliot next to her! She felt a wave of guilt, he had stayed with her the whole day, but, she smiled in his hand, then she felt some movement.

"Ginny?"

"I'm awake."

"Want something to eat?"

"Ok."

He got up and went, when she let go of his hand, she felt an odd feeling of loneliness.

A couple of minutes later, he returned, she opened her eyes, stretched and got up to eat. They ate in silence, not looking at each other, well, Ginny wasn't looking at Elliot, but he couldn't stop.

After they ate, they sat in silence, until Elliot raised her chin gently to face him, she didn't resist.

"I want to know what you're feeling, it isn't healthy to keep it bottled up."

As soon as he said this, she started bawling, Elliot grabbed her and hugged her, she grabbed him and let all the anger, sadness and life out of her with her tears. Elliot held her close, her head was on hie chest, she went silent after about 30mins, she realised that it was almost morning when she stopped, she stoped crying and they sat in silence, her head rising and falling with everyone of Elliot's breath, she felt so at peace, she never wanted to stop, but, she knew they would soon, she could feel Elliot's patience losing against his curiosity, she smiled at the thought of Elliot inside, seeing two people fighting. her smile broke as she thought of fighting, the Lord, the Dark Ones, the bodies that littered on the floor, Lupin, Sprout, Draco. at this silent tears slipped down her cheeks.

It was Ginny who spoke first.

"Is this a nightmare?"

"I hope it isn't."

"No I mean,"

"I know, and, I hope it wasn't."

Ginny looked up, alarmed and furious that he wanted everyone to die, but then, she remembered seeing his eyes that night..

"To see you that night was like seeing my very own father, you looked so proud as the Lord was finally knocked down, he, you would have been proud of yourself."

Ginny didn't need explaining to understand.

"I was really a cheater?" Elliot smiled and kissed Ginny's forehead.

For the next couple of days, Ginny only spoke, looked and was near Elliot, she didn't dare leave him, although they were still friends, Ginny felt as if they were married, they understood each other perfectly, they both could stand each other's silence, and, she was sure about this, they both loved each other, it wasn't lust this time, it was love.

None of the Slytherins talked to her, they didn't even talk, but, she understood, whenever she saw a Slytherin looking sad, her heart fell and she felt like bawling.

A week passed, Ginny became a bit better, and Elliot was the only thing that made life worth living for.

One day, when he was Gulino, she kissed his head, then, he jumped off her, turned into a human, then, knelt down, and kissed her lips. Ginny wasn't surprised either, she knew it was going to happen, hence the married theory. But when she kissed back, she knew that Elliot and her connected in a way never done before.

Ginny and Elliot broke, none of them embarrassed, just happy, not smiling, but not sad, just, they could feel each others happiness, Ginny bit her lip, Elliot made a noise, tears started to fall as she remembered making Draco moan whenever she did that, she smiled and Elliot knew everything had finally came out.

That night, Ginny rented out the room, so, the girls got the chairs together and slept, as Harry had done the previous night.

Ginny woke up, feeling so happy, she had not had sex that night, no, this time, she had made love! It was so tender, he knew what to do, they both loved it, holding each other in each others arms, that night was magic, she felt even better then she ever had with Draco, she couldn't help but smile, like her mother, she would never forget, but, life would go on.

She snuggled deeper into Elliot's chest, he moved closer and wrapped his arm around Ginny, and she felt great.

"Ginny, I, I know you still feel for Draco, and, if you want some time, I, I would understand."

"Why? He didn't love me, he just used me." She answered bitterly.

"You know how you saw our, uh, greeting, you know he loved you, I could tell, no one would ever threaten someone like that unless they meant it." Ginny smiled, a single tear ran down her face as she snuggled deeper into Elliot.

Elliot was still training Ginny, he didn't tell Ginny why though, she just did it, he just trained her hard and he would just say:

"You never know what's around the corner."

Ginny was beginning to feel Elliot's anxiety as he trained her harder and harder, she had a feeling on why, though she kept it too herself and didn't want to voice it out loud incase she was right.

One day, she snuggled down on her bed when Gulino came and leapt on her lap, she laughed and hugged it and kissed it on the head, it licked her in return, it gave her a look, she understood and got up, and went to the Forest.

"Ok, now, I believe it's about time to tell you why we are training so hard."
