A/N...so here it is Chap 2!

Harry and Ginny had been walking in silence around the garden for several long minutes. Harry was about to speak when Ginny once again spoke first.

"You had absolutely no right to do that Harry." she said and looked at him with that same fiery, challenging stare. "It was totally not cool. He is, was my boyfriend." she said quickly correcting herself. "Just like you were my boyfriend. You broke up with me remember?" she asked coldly stopping suddenly and looking at him. He stopped too and just looked at her. All he wanted to do was kiss her and make it all better. Pretend like none of this ever happened.

"I...I know, its just, I couldn't stop thinking about you. I broke up because I thought, think its the right thing. But, I can't stand to see you with someone else, especially a git like McLaggen." Harry said and turned to see her expression. She looked sad but still had some anger left in her eyes.

"I never stopped thinking about you either. I told you last year though, it doesn't matter to me! I would fight with you until the very end. I would die with you, I would," Harry stopped her mid-sentence.

"But I would never be able to live with myself if something ever happened to you because I was so selfish and couldn't get through to you the dangers of being my girl. I don't know what I would do if something happened to you at the hands of Voldemort or one of his followers." Harry finished and looked at her imploringly. Then he straightened a little. "Wait, you didn't flinch?" Harry asked looking at her incredulously.

"That's because I'm not afraid anymore. I thought I had made that perfectly clear. And you know what else is perfectly clear? That I love you and will stand by you no matter what." Then she looked at him and with her hand around his neck, kissed him full on. They just stood there in the garden until one word popped into Harry's head.

"No, Ginny, no, I can't. You don't understand. If I knew something happened to you because Voldemort knew we were dating, I would never be able to live with myself or the guilt and stuff. Now, do you get why I can't be with you anymore? I love you and want to be with you, but that is why I can't." he said in exasperation and held her hands and then let them go.

"And don't you get it? I don't care!" she practically screamed. "If I die on the hands of Voldemort, then I want to know that I had loved you for the time I had here; and that We had great times together. I want to be with you, and I can take care of myself. I know plenty of curses. But I love you and that is all that should matter!" she yelled and sighed. "So why don't you just kiss me and let us be together and go through it all together!" she said and looked at him, tears preicking her eyes but a smile crossing over her lips. Harry smiled.

"How can I refuse something like that? So, we are in this together, no matter the consequences. I would rather do this with you then without you." he smiled and so did she. Then he bent and kissed her with all his might. He wanted to remember this moment and so held her close and then she pulled away. She smiled a seductive smile.

"Lets go back to the house, that way we won't get tired from all this snogging." she said and led Harry by the hand quickly into the house.

Harry and Ginny burst into the dining room of the Burrow smiling and running towards the living room. Hermione and Ron had been sitting at the table talking when those two crashed into the house a flushed expression on Ginny's face and a broad smile on Harry's. They exchanged glances and walked slowly into the living room to find the two full on snogging in one of the armchairs. Ron laughed and Hermione rolled her eyes. Ron turned to her and said,

"When you can't beat 'em, you might as well join 'em!" Ron said and pulled Hermione close to her and started snogging her as well and they too sat in a chair so as not to get tired.

Harry and Ginny had kissed for several long moments and only stopped because Hedwig was tapping on the window. Harry and Ron both pulled up at the same time. The girls were both breathing hard, smiled at each other and rose and walked together up the stairs.

"Oh man," Ron said. "I was looking forward to roudn two!" he said and laughed then jabbed Harry on the side as he passed to let Hedwig in. Ron laid back and sighed as Harry read the letter attached to Hedwig's foot.

"Thanks girl, go on and hunt, you deserve it!" Harry said and stroked her wing before she could fly off. Harry opened and read the letter his eyebrows raising as he read it for the third time.

"Its from McGonagall. She says I need to come to Hogwarts immediately, there is something she must tell me. Now. Wow, it must have something to do with Voldemort. Well, I better go say goodbye to everyone. Watch Ginny for me Ron and make sure she doesn't get hurt." Harry said and turned but stopped when Ron grabbed his shoulder.

"What are you talking about mate? Hermione and I are coming with you, remember what we told you after Dumbledore's funeral? We are in this together!" Ron said and rose to follow Harry up the stairs.

That night, Harry Hermione and Ron were all ready to leave for Hogwarts, and the Weasley clan had assembled to see them off.

"Harry," Mrs. Weasley said hugging him. "Ron," she said repeating the gesture, "Hermione, keep the boys in line." she said and gave Hermione a hug as well. She looked close to tears as Mr. Weasley and the twins went through with handshakes and small goodbyes as well.

"Goodbye you three, be careful and come back here as soon as you are finished. We will want full accounts." Mr. Weasley said with a small unsure smile.

The twins went through and just made small jokes, especially to Ron. Then Ginny went through, but backwards so she would get to Harry last. She hugged Hermione, hugged Ron, but when she got to Harry threw her arms around him and kissed him gently on the lips.

"This isn't a real goodbye, because I am coming with you." she said a with a mischievious grin, and pulled her trunk out from behind the couch.

Harry sighed, "Ginny, you can't, I won't let you." Harry sighed and with one last kiss walked out the door. Ginny had run out after them but all she saw was them apparating and leaving her behind. She sighed and looked at where they had disappeared.

"I love you Harry." she turned and walked inside, hoping this wasn't goodbye.
