A/N: Okay 26 hours without power is not how I like to spend my weekend. This is one of my last chapters. I have another one planned... So yippee! Guess what? A little bit of Fred and George in this chapter! I love those twins, I just had to add them in. I tried to make this chapter longer then my others but I'm not too sure how well I did. Okay enough of me talking here you go.

Disclaimer: Do you really think I own any of this? Well then you'd be right. I'm only kidding.

Ginny woke up Saturday morning to a bright sunshine in her room. It was so bright that it went right through her canopy bed to her. She decided to get ready for her trip to Hogsmeade.

Ginny took a nice steamy shower then went to her dresser to pick out something to wear. After comparing many outfits she finally decided to wear a pair of khaki capris and a light pink tank top.

When she was finally satisfied with her appearance she walked down to the common room.

Everybody was still in the common room talking, obviously too excited to go downstairs and eat breakfast.

Dean was in a corner talking to Seamus. He didn't even look up when Ginny walked in. She could tell he was ignoring her, but for what reason she didn't know.

She also saw Harry in the opposite corner with Ron and Hermione. Ginny saw that Harry and Ron were giving death glares at Dean while Hermione talked endlessly to them. Hermione finally realized this and started yelling at them for not listening. Hermione saw Ginny staring at them and gave her a weak smile.

Finally after waiting alone for thirty minutes Professor McGonagall came in to tell them that the carriages were waiting outside.

Ginny decided that she should wait for Dean since they were supposed to go together. As Dean began to pass her Ginny grabbed his arm and he turned around towards her. She gave him a smile, which obviously gave Dean the cue to put his arm around her shoulder.

They walked out of the portrait together. Ginny could feel the stares of Harry and Ron on the back of her head. She went against the urge to turn around.

When they got to the carriages Ginny saw Harry, Ron, and Hermione all climb into one, and to Ginny's disgust so did Susan. She supposed that She had begged Harry to meet her earlier then planned.

Ginny got into her own carriage with Dean, Seamus, and Neville. Ginny tuned out the conversation between the boys of qudditch and batty old professors. Instead she was deep in thought. She looked out the window and felt the sun heat her body and felt it glow on her face.

"Ginny? Are you alright? You've been silent the whole ride."

Ginny looked up and saw all three boys staring at her.

"Oh yeah I'm fine Dean. Just not talkative right now."

Dean nodded and went back to talking. Ginny felt weird. Although Dean had acted worried he had shown no signs of it on his face. It was almost as though he hadn't really cared. 'That's crazy' she scolded herself. She quickly shook those thoughts away.

"Finally here." Seamus said while getting out of the carriage.

Dean jumped down and helped Ginny get out.

"This place never gets old." He muttered.

And he was quite right. The place was filled with people and signs hung from every direction. Ginny even saw a shop that said 'Coming Soon! Weasleys Wizard Wheezes!' Ginny couldn't help but smile at the sign. Fred and George still didn't have enough money to buy the shop but had showed the seller their items and he had immediately made a deal to sell when they had enough money. Until then it was reserved.

"So where would you like to go first Ginny?" Dean asked her smiling. Ginny was starting to get tired of this smile.

"Weren't we supposed to meet everybody at the Three Broomsticks?" Once Ginny had said this she immediately regretted it.

"Right! It totally slipped my mind. Well let's go then."

They started walking towards the Three Broomsticks when Ginny saw something gleaming from a shop window. She pulled Dean over to the shop.

"Oh it's lovely!" She exclaimed. Lovely didn't even match up to how it looked. She was looking at a beautiful silver heart locket. It was on a thin delicate chain.

"It's okay." Dean muttered, as he looked at everyone pass by.

"It's gorgeous! I wonder how much it cost." She then saw a tiny tag hanging off of it. "Oh never mind then."

"What?"

"Well it's a bit more then I thought. It's two galleons and four-teen sickles." She said.

"Oh well that's too bad. Shall we go then?"

"Alright." Ginny took one more look at the locket before turning around and bumping into someone.

"Oh sorry." She apologized.

"No prob-" The person stopped talking abruptly.

Ginny looked tat the person she had run into. It was Harry.

"Sorry." She said again, her cheeks beginning to redden. They both locked eyes. Ginny couldn't help but stare into hit beautiful green eyes.

"Oh Harry look at this!" Susan exclaimed.

Harry and Ginny both looked away from each other. Harry glanced over at Susan. She was staring at the same locket Ginny had been looking at.

"Pretty." Harry muttered.

"Well we better be going. Bye Harry! Bye Susan!" Dean said grabbing Ginny's hand and leading her away.

Why was Dean in such a rush? He wasn't too enthused when I stopped to look at the necklace. Ginny quickly forced those thoughts away too. Why was she thinking negatively about Dean?

"Here we are. Ladies first." Dean said as he held open the door to the Three Broomsticks.

Ginny walked in and immediately saw Ron and two other familiar redheads.

"Ginny!"

Ginny ran forward and gave Fred and George a hug.

"What are you doing here?" She asked them. Although she didn't really care, she hadn't seen them since when she had left for Hogwarts the year before.

"Well we just had to see little Ronniekins." Fred said pinching Ron's cheeks.

"Get off." Ron said slapping away Fred's hand.

"We heard you all had a day in Hogsmeade so we decided to stop by." George answered.

"And not to mention it's a great way to make some money." Fred said patting his robes, which were bulging with items.

Just then there was a jingle of a bell as the door opened again.

"Harry! How lovely to see you again!" George said.

"Grand just grand." Fred said shaking Harry's hand. "And who is this lovely lady?"

Susan blushed and quietly muttered, "Susan Bones."

Fred, who had grown up to be quite a charmer, took Susan's hand and kissed it. Susan giggled and blushed even harder. Ginny made a mental note to never let Fred give her a kiss.

"Great choice Harry." George commented.

Fred punched George on the arm. They both glanced at Ginny and Dean. They looked down and noticed that they were holding hands.

George took immediate action. He went over to them and quickly cut in between them, causing Ginny and Dean to let go.

"So Ginny whose you friend?" Fred asked.

"This is my boyfriend Dean Thomas." Ginny answered. Fred and George looked as mad as Ron did. They were all clenching and unclenching their fists.

"Where's Hermione?" Ginny asked desperate to change the subject.

"Went to get some drinks." Ron answered not taking his eyes off of Dean.

Right on cue Hermione appeared.

"Oh I suppose we'll need more." She said as she eyed the people who had just joined.

"I'll help Hermione." Ginny said eager to get away from the tension surrounding her.

After seeing how many butterbeers they'd need they went back to the counter to order.

"Excuse me." Hermione asked the bartender timidly. "Can we add four more butterbeers to the order?"

"Trying to make this difficult are you?" The bartender asked while smiling. "I'll have someone bring them to your table."

"How much will it cost?" Ginny asked taking out her purse and searching for some money.

"No let me." Hermione said. "Ron! Harry! Come over here." She yelled to them. Ginny wasn't used to her yelling at people from the other side of a room.

"No really it's fine."

"What?" They both asked as they got towards them.

"Tell the boys that they'll be paying for themselves and whoever is kind enough will pay for us." Hermione gestured towards herself and Ginny.

"Tell them that it's for seven years of help."

Hermione took Ginny's hand and led her to a table in a corner. "We need to talk." She muttered.

They sat down and Ginny waited for Hermione to talk. But she never started talking instead she just stared at Ginny almost wondering what to even say. Ginny decided to break the silence.

"So what really happened to Dean?" She asked. That had been a question on her mind for a couple of days and it felt good to finally ask it.

"About that Ginny. I'm not sure I should be the one to tell you." Ginny looked at Hermione sadly. "Oh alright. I hate when you Weasleys do that."

Ginny smiled. "It comes with the package. You get the red hair, the temper, the love, and of course the manipulation. The manipulation that has been used for many generations."

"That's quite true Ginny. Well anyway it's very complicated and you have to promise not to get mad."

"I can't promise anything."

"Oh well." Hermione said knowing that she wouldn't be able to push Ginny into anything. "Well you know Harry and Ron punched Dean right. But you don't know the reason right?"

Ginny nodded in response.

"Well after you left the hall that night Dean said that you should get your priorities straightened out. Of course he just couldn't keep his fat mouth shut. Later on he said that he should maybe go out with 'The hot blonde from Ravenclaw.' Harry and Ron were tempted to hit him right then and there but they held back knowing that you would get mad at them. But later on they saw him actually kissing that girl. They punched the living daylights out of him. But Dean ran away and that's when Ron came storming into the common room looking for him."

Ginny looked over at the table everybody was sitting at. Susan was trying to flirt with Fred, obviously not knowing he was already dating Angelina. Everybody was laughing and having a great time, other then Dean. He kept looking over and Fred and George's fists.

Ginny didn't feel devastated at this news. Instead she felt angry. But she decided to stay calm. For now.

She walked back over to the table, trailed by Hermione. She went over to Dean and lightly whispered in his ear " We need to talk." She could feel him shiver as her breath hit his ear.

He got up and they walked back to the table she had just been at.

"So what did you want to talk about?" He asked sitting down.

"Your face, I see it's healed." She said ignoring his question and touching his face.

"It's better." He said eyeing her.

"So why exactly did Harry and Ron do it?" Ginny looked over at the other table. They were all watching her. She supposed Hermione had told them about their chat.

"I'm not quite sure."

"Oh well about the other day what were you going to talk to me about?"

"Nothing important."

"Dean I know." Ginny said calmly.

"You know? Ginny I'm sorry. It meant nothing."

"It's too late Dean. You messed up and it's too late to fix it."

"Ginny don't be such a brat."

"Oh I'm a brat now?" Ginny's temper was slowly rising.

"You are and I'll admit it."

Ginny stood up, Dean did the same. Everybody who was watching came over to the table.

"I don't know what I ever saw in you. Oh that's right, I never saw anything I only used you to get back at Harry."

"Don't know what I ever saw in you. Maybe I only saw you as silent and I could make you shut up whenever I wanted to."

Ginny had had enough. She walked over to Dean and slapped him across the face.

Ginny could tell that it had hurt him but he tried to hide his pain, although he was holding onto his cheek where it was slowly turning red.

"That's it? Just a slap. Guess you're losing your touch." He said.

"I don't know why you're complaining Dean. But since you care so much I'll let my brothers finish for me." Ginny said as she swiftly walked past him. As she passed her brothers she said, "Do anything you want."

They all walked towards Dean and dragged him outside. Ginny shuttered at the thought of what was going to happen to him.

Harry, who had not gone outside, pulled Ginny aside. "Do you think we could go on a walk?" He asked quietly.

"Sure."

They both walked and outside and tried to ignore the sounds of a fight going on in the alley.

They walked all the way to a hill and stopped.

"Ginny I have to tell you something." He said. Ginny knew Harry as never being shy but right now he was definitely being shy. "Ginny I like you. I like you more then just Ron's little sister. And I like you more just a friend."

Ginny felt like it was Christmas early.

"Oh Harry!" She said hugging him.

When Ginny let go Harry looked shocked. Of course they had hugged before but this time it felt different. It felt special.

"Harry I've liked you since I was eleven. I only used Dean to make you jealous."

"Well it worked." Harry said smiling. Now that was a smile that made Ginny's legs go weak and made her feel like she was going to faint.

"Do you think we should go back?" Ginny asked.

"I'd sure like to see how Dean looks." Harry answered.

They walked back down the hill holding hands. Finally Harry asked a question that had been on his mind.

"Would you like to go out sometime? I mean schools out in a week and well I was just wondering..." Harry rambled on.

"Harry I've dreamed of you asking me this. Of course I will."

Ginny and Harry both walked all the way down the hill with wide grins on their faces.

A/N: Don't worry there's still one more chapter. And I'm planning a SEQUEL!!! Yippee. Okay now I'm going to try to post this chapter right now since I promised I would. So I think I might have to stop writing here... Hmm I suppose so.
