Hey. Thanks to all who reviewed the last chapter! Here are my personal
thanks.
ElizabethMM: I'm sorry it's soap-operaish, but that's just the way I saw that in my head.
Sakura Sayoran: Thanks much for the cool review. This is the last chapter, and then there is going to be an epilogue, I promise.
Maria: Hello! Thanks for the review; I really appreciate it. Like I said there will be an epilogue after this chapter, so no worries!
glitter8262: I was hoping to get a few tears with that chapter, and I'm glad you enjoyed it.
Mep: Thanks. No, the story isn't over. Nearly though. Thanks again.
Butler: I was thinking about using that cliché. LoL. Thanks for reviewing.
Natbag: Thanks for your review. I know what you mean. I wish someone would say that to me too!
Thank you to all my loyal readers and reviewers. And thank you Nora Roberts for inspiring me! Here is Chapter 11 of One Good Love.

Amy had to be dealt with. There was no way Harry would let her get away with the mess she'd almost made of his relationship with Ginny. Something had to be done, and soon. He passed her in the corridor, and she tossed him a sweet smile and fluttered her lashes. Harry resisted the urge to snarl at her.
He wandered into the common room, and found Ginny standing by the fire, staring into it. He paused a moment to just look at her. Her hair was glowing and around her shoulders, and her arms wrapped around herself. He stepped forward and easily wound his arms around her waist, and she leaned into him. She made a small noise in her throat when he kissed her neck.
"Where've you been?" She spun around, a smile on her lips.
"No where special." He needed to talk to her about Amy, but ruining the mood she was in now seemed like a sin.
She kissed him lightly, rested her head on his chest, and breathed deeply.
"Ginny?"
"Hmm?"
"We need to deal with Amy. I can't let her get away with what she put us through."
She eased back to look at him. "Yeah, she does need to be yelled at, and dealt with, but not right now." She grinned and kissed him again, leaning back on his chest, feeling his heart beat beneath her palm. She smiled.
"Let's just get it over with Gin. I hate seeing her in the corridors, all smiles, like she accomplished something fantastic." Disgust rolled into his tone.
Her knight in shining armor. Okay, robes, and they weren't exactly shinning, but it felt the same. It felt just the same, and that was good enough for her.
~*~
So they hunted her down, and found her flirting with some Hufflepuff sixth year.
"Amy." Ginny said, as she approached, Harry in tow. Amy's head snapped toward Ginny, who's eyes were ablaze of temper. Harry had gladly reminded her of the trouble and pain Amy had caused, and that's what had fired Ginny up.
"Ginny." Amy said friendly.
"Don't you go all happy on me you slut." She snapped out the last word, making Amy wince, and her expression go blank. "You didn't think I'd mind did you? You just didn't think at all did you Amy?"
"I don't know what you're talking about." Amy's chin rose.
"Don't you pull that snobby dignity stunt with me." She pointed a threatening finger. "I saw what you did if you will recall. I'm not blind. You are no longer my friend. You can go snog any other guy in this school, but stay away from mine."
Mine. Harry smiled from behind her, and tried to hide it.
Amy stood in shock, unable to think of any defensive words. None came to her.
"So you're just throwing away our friendship over one stupid kiss?"
"Amy you need to open your eyes. We never really had a friendship did we? You only hung around with me when you were between boyfriends. That 'stupid kiss' just cut off our friendship altogether. Not to mention nearly destroying a great relationship that made me happier than I ever was."
Truly touched, Harry let himself smile.
Unable to say anything, Amy just let her temper rise. A flushed shade of pink-which later she would admit being embarrassed-she tried to stare them down. "Fine!" She yelled childishly, and stalked off.
"Why didn't you help me?" Ginny spun around, to see a smiling Harry, hands in his robes pockets.
"You seemed to be handling it well yourself. You sure told her, and told her fast."
"I was expecting you to step in."
He made a quick move and pulled her into an empty class room, and he slid his arms around her waist once they were alone in the dark room.
"You did fine baby." He whispered.
"I'm no baby." She tried not to chuckle as she dipped her fingers in his already untidy black hair.
"Oh how little you know." He kissed her gently. "You're my baby. My one and only."
"Oh how cliché." She laughed. "But I like it." She smiled and their eyes locked. His green eyes were full of laughter.
And for the first time, Ginny let her fingertip run gently along his scar, studying it, and running another slender finger down it again, and along his jaw line until their eyes met again. He wasn't smiling, but looking at her intently, watching the emotions swimming in her eyes. Her lips twitched as she met hers with his.
"I love you Harry."
He kissed her again. "Love you too."
They both stood in silence, wrapped in each other, and everything seemed perfect. She breathed in his scent as his pressed his lips to her hair, rocking her gently. Everything was in place. Harry loved and was being loved, something he'd never thought possible for him. But just holding her now, it seemed just right, like it was always meant to be.
~*~
The End.
Well, for now. There will be an epilogue, I promise.
I'm sorry it took so long to write this chapter. My life hasn't been being exactly nice to be lately, so I took a break from writing to put my life back together. It's been falling apart around me, but I'm holding tight. Thank you to all my faithful readers and reviewers, I really appreciate the time you take to read a young girl's silly romance Fan Fiction. Thank You so much. The Epilogue will be up as soon as I find the time and energy to write it.
