Chapter 3
Ginny

Ginny could not sleep. She had tossed and turned the whole night, too nervous to face the next day. She should have been tired, after winning yesterdays match against Hufflepuff, which lasted a grueling 6 hours. She had not seen poor this bad since a match two years ago between Ravenclaw and Slytherin in which they played in near hurricane weather. That match had lasted 20 hours and all but a few starters actually made it without ending up in the infirmary. Of course they did celebrate yesterdays win, but it was nothing compared to when Harry was around; he knew how to throw a party. Last nights party consisted of some food from the kitchen, and a lot of people standing around the fireplace, trying to thaw out.

Ginny was considering getting up, but it was still dark out and she could not really go off and fly, as was her habit when she could not sleep. Harry had not come by to watch the game yesterday because Oliver had called an unplanned practice to utilize the weather as good practice time. Harry had probably been too tired to come and see the game, or partake in the celebration. It would have been nice to have warmed up with Harry, letting him hold her, keeping her secure from even her bad dreams.

Ginny drifted back to sleep.

"Ginny, wake up, Hedwig is waiting for you."

Rebecca, one of her dorm mates, sat around waiting for her to open the package.

"Thanks Hedwig, and here, this is for Harry." She attached a small letter that she had written up before bed last night. She then gave the owl a piece of pie she had left over from yesterday and Hedwig took off.

"Looks a little heavy for it just to be a letter. Maybe he got you some muggle lingerie, you know the type that you see in those muggle magazines?"

"Rebecca, Harry would never send something like that by mail, its too personal. No, this is probably an appology for not coming to see the match last night."

Ginny opened the package.

'Dear Ginny, I am sorry I could not come see your match last night, although congratulations are in order. I am happy to see you play Seeker, although I know you prefer being a Chaser; think of it as a way to improve your flying skills. That catch you made was excellent (Remus recorded the match and sent it too me, I watch it all).

'I am formaly requesting your presence to diner tonight in the room of requirements at 19:00, formal wear requested. To make your day as joyful as could be, I have gotten you a special Valentimes gift. Please place the tip of your wand on the rose at the bottom of the page, and say the words 'I will be there'. I will see you later. Love, Harry Potter.'

Ginny reread the letter twice. It seemed the letter was written on a bag or something similar; there was no way to open the bag without ripping it open. Soon, a dozen girls had entered the dorm, waiting for something to happen. She touched the rose at the bottom of the letter; confirmed she was going to be ther, and there was a little spark. Soon, a silver cloud came out of the letter and formed above her. Curious, she touched the cloud, but nothing happened.

"That is a strange gift Ginny," said on of the girls

"I wonder if he just failed to cast something," answered another with a snear.

As Ginny got up to go face the girl who had just made the comment, a spark erupted in the cloud, and swirl of pink was now visible within it. Soon, rose pettals start to fall in front of Ginny. When she stopped moving, the petals stopped. It only rained rose petals when she moved. All the girls gasped at this. Never had they seen something so beautiful, so romantic. Ginny took off through the common area, and went to the Head Girl shower. Once done, she raced to the great hall to see Luna, all the while rose petals fell in front of her. Everyone saw her gift from Harry, including Filch who immediately started to complain about the mess. What he did not notice is that after five minutes, they just evaporated into thin air, leaving behind the scent of roses. This lasted all day until it was time to meet Harry. She had found it curious that she did not see or hear of Harry all day; she had even gone to the kitchen to see if anything special was being cooked. As she was approaching the room of requirements, she could smell something sweet cooking. She entered the room; it looked a lot like Harry's kitchen back home, except it was covered in roses. The other only thing different was that it was Harry preparing the meal, without magic

"Harry, what are you doing?"

"I am cooking our diner, what else does it look like?. I could not get you permission to visit me, so I brought my kitchen along. Why don't you have a seat milady, diner is served."

Harry prepared and served the meal. Although the food was not perfect, it was good enough to rival even her moms cooking. She did enjoy the the atmosphere of it being just her and Harry. He had brought over a couple of bottles of red wine that he had found in one of the many cellars. The meal was topped off by pudding and coffee. Once the meal was done, he disparated the dishes into a trunk, shrunk the trunk back into one of his pockets, then he asked her to dance just as music started to play. Harry had become quite the proficient dancer, knowing that Ginny loved to dance. After spending an hour or so dancing around the room, they decided to take a break to catch their breath; that is when he presented her with a beautiful platinum necklace; as Harry had planned everything, it was to no surprise that this took her over the edge. In tears of joy, she got up and asked the room:

"I require a large comfortable bed and soft lighting."

And there appeared a large comfortable bed surrounded by lit candles. Harry smiled as he was led to the bed. There, Ginny provided the evenings entertainment. He admired Ginny's new outtake on life, and of course her sexual desire. It was about four in the morning when they parted company; with Harry having to fly back invisible back to Hogsmeade to Disparate back to his home.

In their next visit, Ginny decided to go pay him a visit during her Hogsmeade pass. She had brought along her birthday present from Harry entitled '1001 Chinese methods to combining Sex with Magic'. She knew he had been out in the morning for Quidditch practice, so when he arrived back home to find Ginny lying across his bed with nothing on but a smile, reading his gift to her, he just about lost it. They had been in the middle of a more difficult act when Hermione and Ron Apparated right in the middle of his bedroom. Ron flipped out, and luckily, Ginny had been using her wand to levitate herself, and so was able to stun Ron before he did anything silly. Hermione grabbed Ron and, apologizing profusely for interrupting them, and took Ron home.

"I guess I'll have to strengthen the wards around our bedroom."

"Why just the bedroom? Maybe we can set up an entry hall for wizards who want to visit. This way we are not limited to just the bedroom."

"I never thought of that, Ginny, but I like it."

"Leave that one up to me." With that, they continued for a few more hours before she had to leave and go back to Hogwarts.

Her time at school was flying by, and with everything going on, she was actually doing well in the classroom. Although never a problem in the Defense department, she was actually finding it easier in both Potions and Charms. Snape was an incredible teacher once he stopped being a git, and with the entire wand training Harry had made her go through, she was finding herself cast without thought. She remembered before starting her seventh year, asking Harry what he was intending on doing. Harry was rich enough to do anything he wanted to do, but he just shrugged and said that even if Voldemort had been defeated, there was still evil in the world, and he wanted to fight it. That is when she decided to train to be an Auror, as they were normally the best equipped for battling evil, although Harry and normal were rarely spoken in the same sentence.

Exams were beginning next week, and while Ginny did spend some time studying, she spent a good amount of time talking with Luna about there respective futures. Luna had decided to be a Healer, and might stay on to apprentice at Hogwarts and maybe replace Madame Pomfrey one day; or maybe get a job at St-Mungos. This way, if she stays at Hogwarts, she could be closer to Neville as he was going to take over Herbology full time next year. They had not talked much about marriage, but she figured it was coming soon.

Ginny was writing her final exam, Defense against the Dark Arts. Her mind was drifting to events that happened during her seven years. Tom Riddle' diary, Quidditch, Harry, DA meetings, the battle at the Ministry of Mysteries, the final battle with Voldemort. 'List eight signs of a Werewolf'. She was finally getting what she wanted the most in her life; Harry. 'Name four other magical creatures who have similarities with the Werewolf.' Ginny was thinking that this was so easy. 'Why do stunning spells not work on Giants, and what does work to stun a giant?' She noticed that both her and Luna had already reached the last page. Colin was almost there to, as were a few others from her DA meetings. 'Describe a Basilisk and its affects on living beings.' What is this, a joke? Everyone here remembers what happened seven years ago. With a smile, she started to describe in detail everything she remembered about the Basilisk, and more specifically how to kill it; she figured whoever wrote this exam never really saw one in real life. Ginny finished writing, took a few relaxing breaths and reread her exam. Once done, she got up and handed her exam over to the person from the Ministry.

"Thank you dear, and good luck."

As Ginny was exiting the Great Room, she noticed Proffesors Snape and Remus laughing. She approached them as Luna was also exiting the Great Room.

"What are you laughing at?"

"No particular reason. How did it go?"

"Not really hard after all the training we received," answered Luna.

"Anyone see Harry? I thought he'd be here for me."

"Maybe he is waiting for you in the common room? You should go pack up, unless you want to hang around for the feast and your N.E.W.T. results?"

"Very funny."

With that, both girls went to pack, while the Professors headed for the Headmistresses office.

Ginny didn't find Harry in the common room, so she went to pack. School was not over for some students who still had exams to write and the feast to attend tomorrow night; she said she would try to attend, depending on how the match went today. She quickly packed everything up and descended the stairs. As she approached the main floor, she could see people gathered around someone with black and bushy hair.

"HARRY POTTER!"

The crowd parted as most knew the dangers of standing between the two lovers. Ginny had been levitating her trunk behind her, which fell to ground as she rushed towards her friend, her lover, and her soul mate. Once on top of him, she proceeded to kiss him without abandon.

"Why were you not there when I finished?"

"Minerva thought it would be best if I didn't disrupt the class. Now come on, we need to leave. Let's take care of your trunk."

With a flick of his wand, the trunk shrunk and it entered his pocket. They met up with the rest of them at the front and used a Portkey to the field. She left Harry to go change and joined her friends and family in her father's box.

"Ladies and gentlemen welcome to tonight's final match up, Chudley vs Puddlemere. Here are your Cannons: Captain Oliver Wood, the Chasers Angelina Johnson, Alicia Spinnet, and Thomas Flint, your Beaters Tom Snow and Julie Smith, and the Seeker Harry Potter!"

a/n I know these chapters are small and repetitive, but too big for one chapter so that is that. The match is next.
