Partings
Ginny waited in the common room for Dean, tonight was their last night at Hogwarts and she wanted to spend it with him. Because with the imminent rise of You-know-who nobody knew what may come to pass. Dean gave her a quick kiss on the cheek as he sprawled his lanky body beside hers on the couch.
"Where do you want to go?"
"A walk by the lake," she answered with a smile. The pair walked hand in hand down to the lake and sat along its shores.
Walking by the lake with Dean always reminded Ginny of their first kiss. Dean had stumbled upon her crying after the quidditch cup. It hadn't been the first time that she noticed him, but she realized that he was what she wanted in a boyfriend.
It had been a pleasant surprise when he leaned over and slowly pressed a kiss to her lips. Ginny only smiled at his embarrassed reaction. She teased him mercilessly for the next few days and completely took him off guard when she kissed him in the common room a few nights before they left for the summer.
They spent as much time together and wrote faithfully and Ginny was falling in love with Dean Thomas and couldn't stop it now, even if she wanted to.
The evening passed quickly and they returned slowly to the Gryffindor common room. Ginny wrapped her arms around Dean's waist before they entered. They stood there for a few long moments before saying goodnight.
The End
