A/N: And finally she puts up another chapter! I know I know, I didn't have the next chapter ready as soon as we hit 95, but it's been a hectic week with school and art.


Thank you SO MUCH for all of the reviews, believe me, I read every single one.

stuf- No, 95 reviews from one person won't count. You can only review once per chapter I think.

Disclaimer: I don't own anything from Harry Potter that you recognize.

I love you reviewers!

Enjoy:

Chapter 7: Graduation

The day had finally come for Ginny, she would be leaving Hogwarts forever and living her life the way she wanted to. Even though it was the end of the year, she still remembered the morning she left like it was yesterday.

Ginny had woken up very early that morning. She rolled over and was now facing Harry; a sad expression arose on her face. She was leaving this morning, and she wouldn't see him untill the next Hogsmeade visit. She wrapped her arms around his middle and pulled him close to her.

While she did this, Harry stirred, and woken up. "Today's the day." He said, he was quite sad aswell since Ginny was leaving. He had grown so accustomed to having her right by his side that it would feel oddly quiet when she wasn't around.

Ginny nodded, still hugging him tight. He soundly put his arms around her, kissing her forehead. "Remember, we'll still see eachother at the Hogsmeade visits." He said quietly, running his fingers through her messy hair.

"Yeah…I guess." She said, willing herself not to let a tear fall down her cheek.

"You don't want to go, do you?" Harry asked quietly.

"No, no, I want to go, I just want you there." Ginny felt like a baby for letting the tear fall down her cheek, but she couldn't help it. She hastily wiped it away with her hand. "Sorry." She mumbeled.

Harry took the hand she used to wipe her tear away and kissed it. "Don't apologize, remember, it was you who told me that it's ok to cry."

Ginny buried her head into Harry's chest, unable to control the tears that were now making their way down her face.

Harry soothingly ran his fingers through her hair and gently rocked her back and forth, trying to stop her tears.

Once she had regained herself, they went downstairs to eat with the family. Harry, Ron, Hermione and Mrs.Weasley had come to see her off. She hugged each of them in turn, promising to write.

As the train began to pull away, Ginny waved through the window at them, and blew Harry a kiss. He mimed catching it, which made Ginny smile. Ron pointedly looked away as if they were kissing, and Hermione smiled fondly.

Throughout the train ride to Howarts, Ginny felt oddly empty not knowing where Harry was, or what he was doing. Though she put on a brave smile and continued to chat with her friends.

Ginny sighed happily. Even though she was sad during most of the day, she could never forget her favorite Hogsmeade visit of the year….

It had been the Saturday before Christmas, and Ginny was extrememly excited about the trip, she had smiled and talked eagerly through breakfast, wanting to be on her way. As she was walking, she though of their first trip. She had been running late due to a fiasco with one of Fred and George's new products, resulting in a completely goo covered Common Room. Since she was Head Girl, she had to spend her time fixing everything. She had hurridly met him outside of Honydukes and they had spent the remainder of the day talking and looking thoughout the shops. But Ginny could just feel that this trip was going to be much different.

She walked from the grounds to the village, tightly wrapping her scarf around her face. It had just begun to snow the day before, and it hadn't stopped since. She trugded along in her boots down the path that led her to the village, pulling her hat down over her ears as she scanned the crowd of people for Harry.

She didn't have to search for long though, because there he was, standing in the middle. From the look on his eyes she could tell that he was smiling even though his mouth was covered by a green striped scarf. He looked stunningly handsome, and all of the younger girls that passed her were staring at him. She laughed to herself as she knew that he was hers. (A/N: Not in like a possesive way, but like in the way that he's her boyfriend and everything. You get it. ;3 )

She ran into his open arms and gave him a long hug. He easily picked her up and twirled her around, then gave her a long kiss much to the dismay of the younger teenage girls that were eyeing him hopefully.

They had spent that trip at Harry's flat, only stopping at the Three Broomsticks and Honeydukes for Butterbeer and candy. He had kept it quite clean, Ginny suspected that it was Hermione was a frequent visiter. It had 2 small bedrooms, a rather large kitchen and a nice living room complete with a muggle TV. They had kept themselves busy, sharing stories and feasting on candy and Butterbeer.

It was definitly Ginny's favorite visit.

Ginny rolled out of bed groggily and walked slowly to the chair that was in the corner of her room. Having her own room was defintily one of the better perks of being Head Girl. It had come in handy when she had to study for her N.E.W.Ts and wanted time to herself.

She stood, looking at her chair, there lay her dress robes which she would wear to graduation. She weren't hand me downs, but presents from Fred and George. She put them on with pride and was extremely happy throughout the morning. Sure, she was leaving Hogwarts and all of her teachers and everything, but after that day, she could do anything she wanted, be anything she wanted, and she wanted nothing more was to be with Harry.

As she sat with her friends in the shade by the lake, her thoughts wondered to Christmas.

She was with the same group of friends in the common room. It was 5 in the morning and they sat on the couch looking warming up to fire, cheerfully talking and sipping Hot Cocoa.

Even though they were 17, it had still been a tradition of theirs to wake up early and open presents together.

Ginny had decided not to go home for Christmas this year, much to her Mother's dismay. She wanted to spend her last Christmas at Hogwarts with her friends that she wouldn't get to see as much once she graduated.

They opened their presents, one person at a time. There were squeals of delight at the more interesting things, and some playful laughing and groaning at the things their relatives had knitted for them.

One of Ginny's friends had just revealed a pair of spactacularly sexy underwear from her boyfrien she shrieked and blushed hardly at her gift.

They all joked and teased her happily, nothing could bring their mood down. Another one of friends had just opened her gift to reveal a charming picture, they all admired it for a while, then waited for Ginny to open her presents, last, but not least.

Ginny smiled at her Weasley jumper that her Mum had knitted for her. She laughed at the new products Fred and George had sent. She looked oddly at the plug and light switch her father had included with her Mothers package, she would never get used to his hobbies.

Out of all the presents she had received that day, Harry's had been the best. It wasn't anything huge, but it seemed that the small and thoughtful things where what Ginny liked the best.

It had been a charm braclet. A white gold color was on it. He had somehow gotten the charms to reflect her life.

There had been a small quaffle and broom, a pygmy puff,a quill, and a miniature version of her Head Girl badge which was currently in her room.

Since that Christmas, she had never taken the braclet off.

Her graduation day had been very eventful. She had went found her mother, Ron, Hermione, her father, Fred, George, and Harry waving at her as she walked down the carpeted aisle to sit with her fellow 7th years.

The ceremony had rather bored Ginny, it was mostly a lot of talking and clapping, but she did like it when they began to call names. She clapped and shouted loudly for her friends as they walked across the stage, and clapped polietly for the others.

As she watched Luna Lovegood go across, another memory played in her head.

It was the first of June, and the morning of her first N.E.W.T testing. She was sitting at the Gryffindor table in the Great Hall, a cup of steaming coffee in her hand, and her Charms texbook in the other.

"You look awful Gin." Her friend said as she sat next to her.

"I know, I know, I couldn't help it. I stayed up untill 2 trying to perfect this stupid dillusion charm." She said tiredly, taking a long swing from her coffee then averting her eyes back to the text book.

There was a thundering noise above as the hundreds of owls soared into the hall. Ginny looked up hopefully and smiled brightly as she saw Hedwig flying towards her. She petted her head a few times before she untied the letter from the leg that she was holding out.

She opened the letter from Harry and read it to herself.

Dear Ginny,

How're you? This should reach you in time before your exams. Remember to relax, you're one of the smartest witches I know and you'll have no problem passing. Nothing exciting has happened around here, except for when Ron and Hermione came around yesterday. Ron was stupid enough to eat one of Gred and Forges canary creams. That gave us a good laugh.

Only 15 days untill I see you again. Although, my lips have never been the same since that last Hogsmeade visit.

Anyways, good luck for your exams, even though I doubt you'll need it.

All my love,

Harry.

Ginny had been in a considerably better mood after that, feeling that she had done exteremly well on her exams later that day. It was funny how only Harry's words could calm her above anything else. Along with the letter, he had given her a rose. She had cut the tip off of it and put it in her hair for a good luck charm.

Her thoughts snapped back to the ceremony, they were nEach student was expected to walk across the stage and receive a certificate. (A/N: I doubt that they do it like highschool graduations and such, but just imagine. ) Her family had all clapped loudly, Fred and George a little bit too loudly with their shouts and such. Ginny laughed brightly as she saw Mrs.Weasley whap both of them on the head.

A light had flashed, and she knew that someone had taken a picture. She walked off the stage, still smiling, and back to her seat.

The ceremony had ended rather quickly after that since her last named started with a W, and before she knew it her parents and siblings were all hugging and congradulating her. Last to hug her, of course, was Harry. He gave her a hug and a small kiss, still a little shy about kissing in public, then gave her a gift. From her family, she had received a good sized bag of Galleons. It had surprised her a bit, but she accepted it nonetheless.

Ginny smiled at him then accepted the small silver bag. She pulled out a long white box from it, and then gasped when she saw what was inside.

It was a necklace, but not an ordinary one. In the middle was a heart shaped locket with a diamond, a picture of her and Harry inside of it. Yet this wasn't the typical silver chained necklace, it matched her bracelet perfect. The same kind of color, texture, and everything.

It was simple, yet elegant, and it seemed like the perfect gift for Ginny. She thanked Harry by giving him a kiss, then allowed him to put it around her neck.

She then took his hand and led him to the party that was traditionally thrown for all of the 7th years and family.

She had had a great time, dancing the night away, and in what seemed like a blink of the eye Hogwarts was slowly shrinking as she walked further and further away from it, dragging her trunk with her. She was headed towards Hogsmeade with a group of friends. There, they would apparate home. Her family and Harry had all went back to the Burrow to get ready for yet another party for Ginny's graduation.

She took one last good look at the old school, memories swarming around in her head. She then turned back around, facing the road ahead of her.

This would be the beginning of the rest of her life.

A/N: There you are, I hope you all enjoyed that.

As usual, I'm still open to suggestions for whats next to come in the next chapter.

Would you all like for me to continue on with Ginny's life? It'd take a few more chapters though, I don't know if you'd read it all.

Or should I end this here and start a new story? Hrm…I don't know.

I'll let you decide.

My apoloizes for spelling and grammar mistakes. The microsoft word on my laptop doesn't have spell check….e.e

Yes, time for another one of my crazy review demands.

How about….hrm….let's say… 115 reviews this time? That sound fair?
