A/N: Hey guys! Thank you so much for the awesome response to last chapter! I got well over 20 reviews, and I thank you so much for that! This chapter is a tad bit fluffy, so here's the official warning. lol

Silk Gowns: Haha I'm glad you thought it was heartwarming. There should be more stuff that makes you go awww. Lol.

Harry/Ginnyfan4ever: Haha don't worry, I'll finish the story before that happens. Lol.

hpgirl7777: Thank you so much!

Blink gurl017: Haha I think you're right about the bust a cap/pop a vein thing. Lol. And that is why I am not going to use it anymore. Haha I'm not even sure how many chapters it will be. I'm kinda winging it. Lol. And right now I have no sequel planned. But I might be writing a sequel to I Saw Sparks, after I finish writing the next story I have started writing. But shhhhh, you didn't hear that from me. :)

Lillypotterfan: Glad you liked it! And there is definitely more reactions from the Weasleys to come!

:) : Haha here's the update!

IndiaInk: She's back! And now we shall see what is up with everyone.

Wytil: I'm seventeen, so you were close. And I don't think you necessarily have to change from the time you're seventeen until the time you're twenty-two. There are many people who don't mature at all in a number of years. What about all the 35 year olds who still act and think like a nineteen year old? The whole apartment thing, I just made it so that she had some savings to pay the rent. The car I didn't really think about, so thank you. With the whole Harry thing, he will start to consider her actions a bit. I have that planned because of a few things that will happen in their relationship. But truthfully, I already have the entire story planned out and there's not much now that I can do to change it. But thank you so much for your suggestions. It's nice to see someone help an author constructively, rather than flaming them, and I appreciate that very much. Also, thank you for saying my story is good. :)

Future Mrs. Radcliffe: Holy damn! You rock! Thank you for all the splendid reviews! Lol. Four in total. I hope you like how the story continues to go! Thank you for the congratulations about my mom's wedding! That was sweet of you! It was beautiful, like magic. :)

Lily Dwarf: No, yours counts for 100! Lol.

Irishdancer61790: Hey! I'm happy you liked last chapter! Haha don't worry they'll get together eventually. Be patient, or at least try! Lol.

The Flying Moose: Thank you so much! It makes me so happy that you thought last chapter was beautiful! I want to dance! Lol

Canadian Star: Haha here's the update!

InLUVwithHarry16: I couldn't leave everything and everyone like she did. I'd miss them too much. Haha I have one little sister, and she is the biggest brat in the world. But I love her anyway. I totally don't mind hearing about your family. I like hearing about my reviewer's lives and such. Lol.

zoomzoom-pig: Haha no dumping food all over her would not be Molly's style. That'd be kinda funny though. Lol. My mom is married now! And I do have quite a bit of romance around me. Hmmm there might be some in this chapter. :)

gatoriris: Haha food. Men. lol. I'm glad you liked last chapter! Yay! lol.

JediPirateElfyDude: Haha yes, popping a vein could get rather messy. But no worries, I got well over 20 reviews, so neither for me! lol.

Maraudergrl99: Here's a response for you! lol. Haha Ginny and Harry action. That made me chuckle. Haha that's awesome that your friends with your friends's girlfriend now. Now you can get her to do the ass kicking. lol. My one friend needs an ass kicking right now, but not for bad reasons. She likes this guy, and she needs to get her ass on it. Talk to him already, I tell her! lol. Part is such great sorrow! lol. It really is!

Wonkeyfaint28: Yay! Thank you!

lizzie5555555: Hermione...hmmm you shall see. Actually it's nothing to mysterious, so don't worry. lol. Hope you like this chapter!

By now everyone was listening intently to her story. Everyone offered their sympathies over Ashley, and continued to ask her questions about what she had been up to. Tears, smiles, and laughter all were shared. Ginny felt almost whole again, like she was finally starting to become the person she had been. There they all sat, catching up on all those lost years until late into the night.

Chapter Fourteen: Autumn Leaves and A Cool Breeze

Ginny opened her eyes slowly, and looked up into Harry's green eyes. He was carrying her in his arms, and carefully ascending the steep staircase leading to the upstairs. With one small glance out the tiny windows, Ginny came to the conclusion that it was the middle of the night. Harry reached the top of the stairs and veered off, heading right for her room. He opened the door quietly, and Ginny realized that Harry thought she was still asleep. So Ginny closed her eyes tightly, and pretended just that. Harry set her down gently on her bed, and removed her shoes. Slowly, he pulled back the covers and set her under. Harry covered Ginny up, and sat down on the edge of the bed. Suddenly, he leaned over and kissed her forehead.

"Sleep tight Gin." He said softly.

And with that, Harry left the room, leaving Ginny with thoughts of him buzzing in her brain. His soft lips brushing against the warm skin of her forehead. Thoughts of him made her dizzy. So she closed her eyes, and fell into a deep sleep.

Ginny awoke the next morning to the smell of pancakes wafting up from the kitchen. Her stomach grumbled loudly, and she threw her covers off. Ginny padded to the door, and opened it cautiously, looking out. She saw no one, and so she descended the stairs and walked into the kitchen. It was empty, save for her mother.

"Morning Mum." She said quietly.

"Good morning dear." Molly replied with a smile.

Ginny walked over to Molly, and wrapped her in a hug. She had missed this. After a few minutes, Ginny pulled away with a smile on her face.

"Can I help you with breakfast Mum?" Ginny asked.

"I think I'm fine dear." Molly replied.

Ginny sat down at the table, slightly disappointed. She had been hoping they would cook breakfast together, just like they used to. Ginny glanced out the kitchen window and chuckled at what she saw. All they men in the family, including Harry, were playing a match of Quidditch in the early morning sunshine. It certainly looked like they were having fun. Fred and George were on the same team, which gave them the ability to make mischief. Bad Idea, very bad idea, thought Ginny with a snicker. Fred had just charmed the bludgers to blow up in your face when it came near you. One came racing towards Ron, and exploded in a flash of color. Ron went spinning out of control, shouting obscenities the whole time. Ginny had to try her hardest to suppress laughter. Of course, Harry was flying around skillfully looking for the Snitch. His hair was blowing in the wind, and his eyes were closed momentarily. He looked amazing, so happy, so at peace. Finally after watching the boys for a while, Ginny turned back towards her mother.

"Mum, why aren't you angry with me?" Ginny asked.

Molly let out a sigh, and turned towards her.

"Ginny, I was very angry with you for so long. For years I wondered why you'd left us without even a goodbye. I blamed you for all the sadness and problems we were having. I told myself that if you ever came back I'd be cruel and cold to you. But then last night you showed up, and all the anger left me. I was so relieved to see you, and overcome with happiness that you had returned. I realized that being angry wasn't important anymore. What's important is that you're here, and that I've missed you." Molly said through tears.

"Oh Mum." Ginny said with a sob, before wrapping her arms around her mother again.

They held each other tight for a while, breakfast put on hold. Finally they broke apart, moisture shining in their eyes. Ginny told her mother that she was going to go back upstairs, and get ready for the day. Molly nodded her head, and went back to cooking breakfast. Ginny trudged up the steep stairs, and entered her room. She immediately flopped down on her bed, exhausted from all the crying she had done. Ginny was so glad that her mother had accepted her again. She wondered how the rest of her family was feeling about her return, now that the shock had gone away. Fear coursed through her as she realized that some might still be mad at her. Trying to shake those thoughts away, Ginny got up from her bed and went to take a shower.

After she had showered, and gotten ready, Ginny headed back downstairs. The boys were just coming in from the outside, and all said good morning and gave her wide smiles. All except Ron. When Ginny said good morning to him, he didn't say anything, but just turned away. Tears threatened to spill from her eyes as she watched him walk away. They had been so close, why wouldn't he be mad at her? She decided to let him get cleaned up, and then she would talk to him. Harry entered the kitchen a moment later, his newly washed hair sticking up adorably. He flashed Ginny a smile, and she returned it. Harry said good morning to Molly, and then walked over to Ginny.

"Gin, do you want to go on a walk with me?" He asked with a grin.

"Sure." Ginny replied.

They both said they goodbyes to Molly, and then left the kitchen. They exited through the front door, and began to walk along the street. The leaves were brilliant shades of gold, orange, and fiery red. A cold breeze blew across their cheeks, making them tinged with pink. Ginny looked up at Harry with his rosy cheeks and shining green eyes, and smiled. Harry looked at Ginny with her red hair reflecting the light and her wide brown eyes, and smiled back.

"I'm proud of you Gin." Harry said sincerely.

"Thank you Harry. I'm so glad to be home. I was missing it all these years, but I was so scared to come back."

"I know."

They were quiet for a moment, and Harry almost asked Ginny the question he'd been wanting to ever since they'd reunited. But he held himself back, and kept walking. Feeling a surge of daring, he slipped his hand into hers. She didn't pull back, but gave it a squeeze. The wind picked up, making leaves swirl around them in the crisp air. Ginny let out a laugh, and began trying to catch them. Harry followed suit, and soon their laughter was ringing out loudly. Suddenly, Ginny came from behind and pushed him into a pile of leaves. He went down yelling, and could clearly hear Ginny snorting behind him. Harry snaked an arm around her leg, and yanked her down with him.

They both lay there laughing for a moment, and then calmed down, staring at the sky. Harry glanced at Ginny, and suddenly had the overwhelming urge to kiss her. Leaves were caught in her long, wavy hair and her cheeks were now red from the cold, while laughter shone in her eyes. Before he could stop himself, Harry leaned down and softly brushed his lips across hers. It was a moment before Ginny started to respond. But then, she was kissing him back, and Harry felt as if he could die of happiness. Electricity shot through Ginny as she moved her lips across his. She wrapped her arms around Harry's neck, and he ran his hands through her hair. They were interrupted by a noise a moment later. Both looked up to see Hermione smiling down at them.

"I see you both are enjoying the lovely day. And Ginny you're back! Oh I'm so glad to see you!" Hermione said in one breath, while giving Ginny a bone-crushing hug, not unlike her mothers.

"Sorry for interrupting. Carry on." She said with a knowing smile, while sauntering away.

Harry and Ginny looked at each other shyly, and stood up at the same time.

"We should be getting home." Harry stumbled out.

"Yeah." Ginny agreed, at a loss for words.

They walked home in awkward silence, and when they arrived, went their separate ways.

A/N: And it gets dramatic again. lol. I love doing that. I hope you liked this chapter! Remember.....
