A/N: Over two year later.... I return! With the final chapter to this fic! Thank god! It may seem different from the first two but that's because after two years, my writing style has grown and developed. But it's still the same ending that I'd imagined when I first started out with this story. I'd like to thank Jorgie for emailing me and spurring me to finish off. If it wasn't for her, Ginny would still be in her dormitory crying.

Disclaimer: It's not mine. Blah blah blah.

Against All Odds

Return

A few days later at the Halloween feast, Melody found herself sat between Gypsy and Ginny. The rain was pouring outside, but the many fires of the great hall kept everyone warm and unaware of what was going on outside.

Praying that Gypsy wouldn't question Ginny about the events of four months ago, for fear of upsetting the redhead again, Melody was pleasantly surprised when her sister's only form of questioning towards Ginny was 'Can you pass the potatoes?'

Once everyone was finished with the food and looked well sated, Dumbledore rose to his feet and the hall fell silent.

"As most of you know, on this day seventeen years ago, James and Lily Potter were killed while protecting their only son, so that he might continue to live. Theirs was not the only deaths of the long war against Lord Voldemort, many more had died before and many have died since. I would like to take this moment to remember the fallen, of both sides for no-one deserves to be thought ill of in death. To the fallen."

Melody lifted her goblet as did the rest of the school to echo his sentiments, Ginny beside her in tears whilst doing it.

Suddenly, in a manner that reminded more than a few muggleborns of Aragorn from the LotR trilogy and the older students of Professor Moody's dramatic entrance four years ago, the doors to the great hall slammed open, and a wet, shivering figure fell into the great hall. There was a collective gasp, and, out of habit, many wands pointed at the figure.

"Ginny!" the figure rasped, trying to sit up but struggling. "Ginny!" he tried again and managed to push some of his floppy dark hair from his face. A glimmer of recognition began to fall onto the people of the great hall.

The redhead in question who had remained silent and motionless throughout the whole debacle slowly stood up and started making her way towards the figure. There was a determined look on her face that hid most of the shock, although to those who knew her well it was still present.

She reached the figure and knelt down beside him, brushing back more hair from his face. Hazel brown met emerald green, as the two lovers were reunited. Ginny let out a sob and collapsed into Harry's arms, causing him to fall back again for he was still unstable.

"You came back! You came back!" Ginny repeated in between the tears of joy that streamed down her face.

"I promised I would." Harry replied, identical tears streaming down his own.

"You're here..." Ginny looked into his eyes again, her words almost a question, as if she was sure he would disappear at any moment.

"I'm here. And I don't ever want to leave you again. I love you." And Harry sealed his statement with a kiss.

All throughout, the other occupants of the hall had remained silent, but as the lovers lips locked, Gypsy squealed in delight and started clapping. Pretty soon the whole school was clapping, although the pair by the door remained oblivious.

"I do love a happy ending." Gypsy whispered happily to her elder sister "Don't you?"

"They deserve it!" said Melody, equally happy, as she watched Dumbledore leave his seat to go and greet Harry and hopefully direct him to the hospital wing.

Tada! Finally finished. Review if you want. I don't really care because I'm on such a high that it's ...... FINISHED!!!!!!!
