A/N: So here it is, the last installment of The Room of Requirement. Enjoy!
"GINNY!" Ginny turned around when she heard her name screamed at the top of her brother's lungs.
"WHAT ARE YOU THINKING?" Ron was spluttering with anger.
"Ron…calm down."
"CALM DOWN! How can I calm down when my baby sister just made out with Draco Malfoy in front of the entire school! You have defamed the Weasley name! What are you doing Gin?" Ron grabbed her by the shoulders and shook her.
"Ron, stop it!"
"Ron, leave your sister alone." Mr. Weasley told the boy.
"Dad…" Ginny looked up at her father, slightly afraid but emboldened by her disobedience. "Please don't be upset. I just couldn't--"
"Ginny, you don't have to explain. I was wrong." Ginny looked up at her dad in wonder. "I shouldn't have said all those things. I just wanted you to be happy. I can see that you're happy now," Arthur gave a sad smile and wiped a tear from Ginny's eyes with his thumb.
"Thank you," Ginny whispered and embraced her dad in a tearful hug.
"What do you mean dad? You can't mean that she can seriously see…Malfoy?" Ron was very red in the face, really, it was actually quite comical.
"I mean that very thing Ron, Ginny has enough sense to know if he's a good man."
"A good man? Malfoy?" Ron still was looking outraged.
"You don't know him. He's changed a lot!" Ginny said, trying to defend her boyfriend.
"I don't care if he's changed. He's still not good enough for you!"
"Oh, Ron!" Ginny gave him an unexpected hug. "Thank you for looking out for me, and I swear, if anyone hurts me, I'll be the first to let you know that you can beat them up, but Draco is a good man, despite what he's done in the past."
Ron stood next to his sister, apparently contemplating his options. "Ginny," he said softly, "I just want what's best for you."
"I know Ron. But what's best for me won't always agree with what you think is best for me."
Hermione joined Ron's side. "Ron, Ginny has a lot of people looking out for her. Too many actually…what with six brothers, two parents, and all of her friends… We all love her, but let's give her some room to have her own life, away from us." Hermione motioned to herself, Ron, and Harry, who'd just joined the growing group of people.
"Fine" Ron grumbled. Hermione kissed him on the cheek.
"So what's going to happen to us now?" Draco asked Ginny. They were in the Room of Requirement, right where everything had started in the first place. It was the only place they could get a little reprieve from the staring eyes and the questions, all the questions from the students and even the teachers!
"I have no idea Draco."
"I think there are a lot of people out to break us up."
"Probably." Ginny grinned, "All the Slytherins want you to dump me and all the Gryffindors want me to dump you."
"You know," Draco took her in his arms, "I don't think either side will be pleased by how things turn out."
"Neither do I."
They both smiled just before their lips met in an explosion of feeling.
THE END
A/N: Wow, I just finished both of my stories in one night. Scary. I have no more stories! Except new ones that I'll be writing and working on all summer, so be sure to check my name all the time for new stories! If you want me to email you when I have a new story just leave your email in a review. Ach! Must get studying for finals. Yuck yuck, finals are terrifying…20% of my semester grade. It could make or break my A in a few classes. More specifically history. I need an A on the final to get an A in the class and if I don't get an A in the class then it'll break my 4.0! That would be tragic, just tragic. Well wish me luck and check up on me often. I'll be sure to have a first chapter of a new G/D out in a couple weeks. Hope you enjoyed my stories!
Thanks to all of the reviewers! You don't know how much you've helped me. I hope you don't mind that I don't acknowledge every individual one of you. I figure you'd rather have the chapters out faster than a personal acknowledgement but maybe I'm wrong. Ah well, what's done is done. Thanks so much!
