Author's note: A look who actually updated!!! I know it's been forever. Firth I had major writer's block on this story. Then I got caught up in my other one. And I told Hazel to work on this one (I share this pen name with her.) but she just started a whole new fic. We have so many going at the same time. Well, here the next chapter. Thanks for waiting for it to be updated.
Destiny Amberly Weasely: Here's the update. I know it's been forever but here it is. I hope you like it.
Good-charlotte-rocks: Yes good charlotte does rock. I'm glad you like my story. I'm sorry it's been so long since I updated. I promise I will read your fic as soon as I get the chance. School is winding down. Finals are coming so I will try my best to read it.

Buffy/angle freak: Yeah, my friend, and co-writer live the idea of Harry and Ginny getting together. She started this fic and I guess got bored of it so I've written most f it. I didn't want to leave it unfinished. I am more into the whole lily/James thing.
Charms essay
'At least I didn't have to ask her to dance.' Harry thought later that night after the party in the common room had died down. He was now lying in bed; sleep wasn't coming too easily tonight. 'A love letter... who writes love letters? It's not even around Valentine's Day.' Harry thought has he turned over to that he was not lying on his stomach and put is head under his pillow. He finally fell asleep.
"I can't believe it's already Monday." Ron groaned as he took his seat at the Gryffindor table next to Hermione and across from Harry.
"I know... the weekend flew by." Harry agreed taking off his glasses and rubbing his eyes.
"I agree. I nearly almost didn't get all my homework finished." Hermione added. "That charms essay was horrible."
"We had a charms essay?" Harry and Ron asked at the same time.
"Yes, three rolls of parchment. Remember?" Hermione said disbelieving that they actually forgot about the essay.
"What was it supposed to be about?" Harry asked.
"I cannot believe the two of you forgot it!" Hermione exclaimed appalled. "You were supposed to write about that charm that you think most affected medieval wizardry."
"Oh, man..." Harry groaned.
"That requires research." Ron said stupidly.
"Exactly! Why do you think I was in the library all of yesterday?" Hermione asked him.
"I swear the teachers are trying to kill us." Ginny said plopping down next to Harry at the table.
"Agreed." Ron said. "A Potions, Defense against the dark arts, and a charms essay. In ONE WEEKEND!"
"Ouch" Ginny said realizing that it was much worse for them than it was for her.
"We don't have charms till tomorrow though." Ron said. "So if we don't eat or sleep for the next twenty four hours we can probably get this essay done."
"Ok, so we'll meet in the Library for lunch." Harry agreed with Ron.
"How do you forget about something like this?" Hermione asked. She truly didn't understand how someone could forget do to an essay.
"We should get to Transfiguration." Ron said ignoring Hermione's question and hi urge to snap some very rude words at her.
"So how's the essay coming along?" Ginny asked Harry that night in the common room. Harry and Ron had been true to their word. They hadn't eaten anything since breakfast and they were working into their sleeping time right now.
"Slowly." Harry said not looking up from the parchment he was scribbling furiously on.
"You need any help?" Ginny asked sitting down in the chair next to Harry's at the table he and Ron were sitting at.
"Yeah, you can look through this book and find any important charms that they might have used." Ron said handing Ginny a book that looked as if it weighed more than she did.
"Um, ok." Ginny said opening the book.
"Thanks Ginny." Harry said sincerely.
"No problem Harry." Ginny got lost in Harry's deep green eye, totally forgetting the love letter and not really caring.
4 hours later
"Ginny it's two in the morning. You should get to bed." Harry said when he saw Ginny's eyelids starting to drop a little.
"No I'm fine." Ginny suppressed a yawn.
"Gin, listen to Harry. We are almost finished." Ron said writing as fast as possible at the same time. He wanted as least an hour of sleep.
"If you're sure." Ginny said slowly getting up. Her legs were stiff from sitting for four hours straight.
"Yeah, see you tomorrow gin." Ron said.
"Thanks again." Harry said.
"No problem." Ginny smiled and walked up the girl's staircase to go to bed.
The next morning
"So? Did you finish?" Hermione asked as she sat next to Ron at the Gryffindor table the next morning.
"What? Did you say something?" Ron was torn out of his sleeplike trance.
"I asked if you finished?" Hermione repeated herself.
"Yeah, here." Ron said and handed her his rolls of parchment.
"Ron is this even written in English?" Hermione said looking at Ron's essay. "I know your handwriting isn't the best but it's usually a little legible. This looks like a totally different language."
"Nope, it's English." Ron assured Hermione.
"I hope Professor Flitwick will be able to read it." Hermione said concerned.
"Well, her is the charms teacher. He should know a charm to make it legible." Ron said and Jumped when the bell sounded signaling the end of breakfast.
"Harry wake up!" Ginny shook Harry's shoulder. He had fallen asleep at the table.
"What? I'm awake. Let's go. Where are we going?" Harry asked truly confused.
"You're going to Charms." Ginny told him gently.
"Ok, thanks." Harry smiled at Ginny and walked off with Hermione and Ron to Charms.
"I'm sitting here and never getting up. Ever." Harry said plopping down on a couch in the common room after dinner.
"Yes, while you stay there. I will be in upstairs in my bed. I will sleep from now until tomorrow morning." Ron said making his way over to the boy's staircase.
"It's six o'clock." Ginny pointed out.
"And you're point?" Ron asked.
"Her point is that if you go to bed now, you'll be sleeping for over twelve hours straight." Hermione said.
"And you're point is?" Ron asked again.
"Never mind. Just go to bed you big oaf." Hermione said.
"That was uncalled for." Ron said through a yawn as he made his way upstairs.
"I'm going to go to my room to." Hermione said. "I should get the History of Magic essay out of the way."
"Have fun!" Ginny smiled.
"Do they ever quite assigning essays. They could be a little more creative." Harry said from the couch.
"You would think they would get tired of grading all of them too." Ginny said sitting down on the couch next to Harry.
"I know." Harry smiled.
"You know someday we're going to look back on these day and laugh. We will consider these the good times." Ginny pointed out.
"This is a good time." Harry said. "Last night wasn't but I know I'll end up missing it anyway."
"Yeah, I know what you mean." Ginny said and a silence fell between them.
"Ginny?" Harry asked a few minutes later.
"Hm?" Ginny said.
"Who do you think sent you that letter?" Harry asked.
"I honestly don't know." Ginny said thinking about how much she should tell Harry. "The guy I like wouldn't give me a love letter."
"Really?" Harry said now very interested.
"Yep." Ginny replied.
"And who is this guy? Do I know him?" Harry asked smiling hoping beyond hope that it was he. Though he wouldn't ever admit that to anyone.
"Yeah, I'd say you know him pretty well. And for a long time too." Ginny smiled and turned her head to hid the blush coloring her cheeks.
"Are you going to tell me about him?" Harry asked.
"Well, I don't want to make you jealous or anything." Ginny laughed.
"Try me." Harry challenged her.
"He's a really great quidditch player and he has his priorities in order." Ginny said.
"And what are is priorities?" Harry asked.
"He puts his friends before himself. He knows how important family is and how lucky he is to be surrounded by people how love him." Ginny said.
"He sounds like a pretty great guy." Harry laughed.
"You have way too much of an ego." Ginny said pushing Harry.
"Oh, so it was me?" Harry asked his smile growing wider.
"I shouldn't have said that." Ginny blushed deeper.
"Yeah you should have." Harry said moving closer to Ginny.
"So you could make fun of me?" Ginny asked.
"No, so I could do this." Harry said and moved his head closer to hers. Harry brought his lips to hers and kissed her. And it was some kiss too.
