niem: Thank you very much! Here is the final update.

SarcasmRox: Your very welcome! I appreciate the constructive criticism--you're absolutley right, Ron would have no idea what the heck a refrigerator was, and probably, the Room wouldn't either. Thanks for taking the time to review!

Eowyn: Lol, I always thought matchmaker would be the perfect job for these two. Thanks for reviewing!

For anyone I may not have thanked, I thank you now! You guys really and truly all deserve...like...cookies...or...milkshakes! Or something equally wonderful! And now, without further ado, (just put up with my disclaimer), here is the last chapter!

Disclaimer: No, Harry Potter is not mine--he and all his cronies belong to J.K. Rowling.

Chapter Five: Confessions

"How long has it been?" Ginny asked Harry, as she leaned up against the wall. Harry checked his watch.

"One hour and counting," he said, yawning hugely. "Like I say, you can go to bed, if you want." Ginny whapped him on the head.

"Don't even! I wouldn't dream of leaving you here alone," she told him. "Let's talk."

"About?" Harry asked, smiling up at the ceiling. Ginny shrugged.

"Oh, I dunno…how about…who we like? Who do you like, Harry?" she asked, something in her voice quavering a little. I hope he still doesn't like Chang. I hope he doesn't like anyone.

"There is…someone…" Harry said, sounding hesitant. Ginny leaned forward, forcing a smile onto her features. C'mon now, Ginny. He'll always think of you as his friend. Or worse, his best friend's little sister. Stop loving him. Stop it now.

"Really? Who?" she asked, steeling herself mentally. Harry, once again, hesitated.
"Well. Um, that's a very…very…good…" he started, but trailed off, unable to bring himself to do it. How could Ginny possibly still love him? Why hadn't he noticed her when he had a chance? Why did he have to wait until it was too late? Why? Ginny was frowning at him.

"Harry? Harry are you ok?" she asked, concern in her voice. She leaned forward, laying her hand on his arm. He jerked it back, afraid that her touching him would make him say things he didn't want to say. He could see the hurt in her eyes, and it was almost unbearable to know that he had caused it. He edged closer to her, and then, without thinking, took her hand.

"Harry?" Ginny asked, her brown eyes wide. "Harry, what—"

"You asked me if I liked someone," Harry said, leaning forward a little. Ginny, her large eyes growing wider by the second, nodded wordlessly. "Well, I don't like someone…" he was now inches away from her face. "I…I…love you." And, without another word, he leaned even closer, and brushed his lips against hers. Ginny stiffened in surprise, but suddenly loosened. Her arms wrapped around his neck, and his hands snaked around her waist and back. It was a long kiss, but when they finally drew away, Ginny rested her head against Harry's shoulder.

"Oh, Harry," she murmured, and when he looked up, there were tears on her cheeks. "Why? Why me?"

Harry was almost at a loss for words, but he knew she needed to hear some.

"Ginny, I love you. How else can I put it? You're the…the most beautiful, incredible, intelligent, brave girl I've ever met. It's no wonder I fell for you," he responded finally. Ginny stared up at him.

"I love you, too," she said simply, and kissed him again

--MEANWHILE--

"Ron! Oh, Ron, wake up!" Hermione said desperately, sitting on the giant bed, a large book spread across her lap. Ron was stretched out next to her, sound asleep. She touched his cheek gently.

"Wake up!" she pleaded. "Please, Ron." Ron's eyes flickered open.

"Hermione?" he said blearily. "Oh, no. I didn't mean to fall asleep in here…with you." He checked his watch. "It's two-thirty. Should we focus on getting out of here?" Hermione nodded.

"I think I've found a way how," she said quietly. Ron grinned amiably.

"Really?" he asked brightly. "Excellent. What is it?" Hermione took a deep breath.

"Well, Fred said we couldn't leave until we'd made-up. Maybe what he meant is…well, maybe he meant we had to make up everything. I looked up the spell he performed in one of those books over there."

"What'd it say?" Ron asked curiously.

" 'Seal the door until…until…'" Hermione trailed off, looking embarrassed. Ron stared at her.

"Spit it out," he said, smiling. Her hair was looking so lovely right now. So dark, and beautiful. Like her. She bit her bottom lip fretfully.

"Alright. It said, 'Seal the door until true love's first kiss,'" she explained hurriedly. Ron's eyes widened. "I'm sure it was a joke," Hermione added, seeing his face. "The twin's idea of a good time." Ron was staring at her funny, and moving closer to her.

"Hermione," he murmured. "Hermione…I love…I love…" Hermione's eyes were growing large… "…I love you." Ron finally finished. "That's why I argue with you. So you can't ever guess. You're not a know-it-all. You're smart and beautiful and…and…everything to me." His voice broke. "I'm sorry. I understand if you can't ever forgive me." He turned away, but was unexpectedly stopped by cool hands on his face. Hermione turned his face towards hers, and gently kissed him. They fell back onto the bed, seeing only each other, and ignoring the door as it creaked satisfyingly open.

Another hour later, the couple emerged from the Room to find Ginny lying in Harry's arms, both of them sound asleep. Ron's mouth fell open.

"H-h-harry?" he spluttered. "G-g-ginny?" Instantly, the two awoke.

"Ron!" Harry said happily. "Hermione!" He engulfed them both in a giant hug.

"Oh, please don't be mad!" Ginny said, smiling. "Did you…eh…work things out." Ron grinned.

"Yep," he said nonchalantly, pulling Hermione to him and kissing her long and hard. Harry pretended to gag, but Ginny could tell he was secretly thrilled. Hopefully, this would be the end of the arguments. After Ron and Hermione had finished, Ron turned to Harry and Ginny.

"And what about you two?" he asked appraisingly.

"Yes!" Fred's voice sounded from around the corner. "What about you two?"

"You weren't supposed to get together!" George reprimanded, slipping into view. "It was only supposed to be Ron and dear Hermione over there."

"Didn't we tell you not to mess with our baby sister, Harry?"

"You know, Fred, I distinctly remember telling him that!"

"Ah, well. All's well that ends well?"

"Of course! Congrats, one and all!"

"Wait just a second!" Hermione said, glaring at Fred and George. "I'd like to tell the two of you exactly what I think of you!"

"Uh-oh," muttered Fred.

"Please don't kill us," George begged, looking terrified. To his surprise, Hermione walked over and kissed him on the cheek, and then did the same to Fred.

"You two are wonderful, even if you are awfully evil," she told them fondly. "You've both got good hearts."

"Of course we do!" Fred said indignantly.

"We should start a bloody matchmaking service," George added. "Look at how well those four turned out!"

"Exactly what I was thinking, Gred!"

"We could recruit Harry and Ginny to take people to the Room of Requirement—"

"—and then lock them in there—"

"—every single night!"

"Everyone at school will pay loads for it! Weasley's Matchmaking Service, we'll call it."

"Brilliant, as usual."

"No way," Ginny said warningly. "Don't even think about it."

"Too late," the twins said simultaneously. "We already did!"
