A/N- I'm not real happy with this chappie. As I had stated, I lost some chapters and this was one of them. The original I remember was real long but I totally forgot what was in it so this chapter is shorter than it's supposed to be. I'm so mad at me. How did I lose all of it? If it seems that I'm rushing I'm real sorry! None of these chapters were the originals! I had to re-write them so that's probably why they're rushed. Don't know. Thanks for sticking with the story! Enjoy!
Countdown: 8 more chapters to go after this one!

"I object," came a very familiar voice from the back of the audience. Ginny's mouth dropped.
"C-c-Colin?" Ginny stuttered.
"Yeah, me, Colin. Remember me? Because it doesn't seem like you remember any of your true friends from Hogwarts! Did you forget about us, Gin? About me and Luna? The friends that were actually there for you the whole time unlike this Malfoy git that suddenly wants to marry you? We were the ones that stood by you day and night when everyone was teasing you. Then when you were asked to come back to Hogwarts, to us, you said no. You wanted to stay with Malfoy! What kind of a friend are you? I'll tell you. You aren't a friend!" Colin cried.
Ginny stood there, frozen. It was true. For a while she had forgotten about Colin and Luna. She had gotten so absorbed in this little heaven of hers with Draco; she had forgotten her real friends. Tears dribbled their way down her cheeks and she ran inside the house. Draco followed her.
He found her on her bed, sobbing hysterically, face in her hands.
"Gin," he murmured softly. She slowly raised her head from her hands and met his gaze.
"He's right, Draco. I had totally forgotten about him and Luna, my true friends that had been with me for a long time. He's right. I am a horrid friend!" she exclaimed and with that began to cry again. Draco took her in his arms and she rested her head on his shoulders.
"Gin, you're not a horrid friend. You just didn't want to go back to Hogwarts after the battle. You're a great friend. You cared so much about Colin you wanted to find him a remedy for his memory problem. You care, Gin. Don't let his words get to you. He's just jealous. He's always had a thing for you, but he was too shy to say so," Draco explained.
"Really?" Ginny squeaked as she slowly lifted her head off his shoulders and looked at him.
"Yup. Now come on, we've got to go get married!" Draco said. Ginny giggled. She looked out the window, thinking it over, then slowly turned to face Draco and slid her slender hand into his.
Dumbledore had somehow managed to get Colin to complain to Ginny after the wedding.
"Now, let us continue," Dumbledore said as Draco took out the ring and placed the turquoise wedding ring on her slender finger.
"It's beautiful!" she cried.
"You may now kiss the bride," Dumbledore announced. Draco leaned in and placed his fine, thin lips on Ginny's pink, rosy ones. Instantly she was pulled into a world of passion. They soon broke loose and Ginny and Draco broke into laughter at the sight of Ron's disgusted face.

Ginny slid down the banister the next morning only to bump into-
Colin.
"H-Hi, C-Colin," Ginny stammered.
"Hi. Look, I'm really sorry about yesterday. After I slept on it, I realized how mean I was. The only reason I ever did that was because, I guess, I was jealous. The first time I met you, you were so nice and pretty. But I was too shy to tell you. Then I saw how you fell for Draco and jealousy got the better of me. I'm really sorry. You're a great friend, Gin. And I hope you have a great life with Mal-Draco," Colin apologized quickly. Ginny was stunned. She thought it would've taken so much more time. But that was it. A few lines and it was all better. Ginny embraced him and Colin hugged her back.
"It's okay, Cols. Thanks. You're a great friend, too," Ginny said.
"I must get going back to school now. See you later!" And with that Colin flooed back to Hogwarts.
"Phew, that didn't take long!" Ginny exclaimed happily.

The year passed by swiftly like the graceful fall of a leaf as it makes its way to the ground. Ginny had really become close to her Potions Master and regretted leaving his house and going back to the Burrow. Somehow, Ginny had taught Snape to be a bit looser and she had caused a dramatic change in his life. He was no longer the loathed, cold-blooded Potions Master. Now he was welcomed to laughter and smiles and happy students. Draco graduated top of his class and everyone erupted in claps as a thank you for he had really helped in the battle.
Ron graduated along with Lavender. Ginny burst out into the loudest applauding for her brother, who had made 3rd in his class.
Draco took up the job as an Auror for they still needed to find the Death Eaters loose.
Ginny took her last year at Hogwarts and spent enormous amounts of time with Colin and Luna. She had really changed the school for now mostly everyone got together after the news of her wedding to Draco got out. She graduated top of her class just like Draco and everyone applauded quite loud. The twins even set off fireworks reminding Ginny of her wedding.
Ginny studied to become a mediwizard/healer and got accepted in July. She now spent her time at St. Mungo's healing everyone. But she hated to walk inside because it always made her wish that somehow Harry and Hermione and all her friends could be laying on those beds instead of underneath the ground so she could heal them all better. Sometimes she ended up in too much sorrow and went back home, crying.
Draco had always wanted kids of their own, but Ginny had told him to wait until they had both graduated. Now that that was done, he lost no time in making sure they would have kids of their own and even had a few nurseries built into their mansion that he bought newly near the Burrow and Hogwarts. It was an enchanting three-story house that reminded Ginny of those fascinating medieval castles in the muggle realm. There was a beautiful garden in front of the house where Ginny grew many different flowers.
One day while Ginny was walking to St. Mungo's, she collapsed.
