They avoided each other after that. Sure, they saw each other in the Common Room, but Ginny began sleeping back in the Gryffindor Tower. Ron never said, "I told you so" in the annoying way only siblings can do. He stayed away instead. They talked about Head Boy and Girl things, but as soon as that was done she would leave. They didn't walk in the hallways at night anymore. She slowly picked up the pieces of her heart and by June she was all put together. Still staying away from dating, but she didn't feel nearly as broken. Soon, the year was over and they were back on Hogwarts Express.

Draco was heading off the train when he stopped. There was Ginny on the platform talking to Harry. His hands clenched at his sides. Was that to be the last time he saw Ginny? He hadn't meant to hurt her the way he had. She finally successfully fell for him. She told him she loved him and he just walked away. Of course he loved her, too. Ever since that day on the train he had a feeling in the pit of his stomach that he was going to regret ever talking to her and now he didn't have to regret it. She was going to give him up. He was never going to bug her again because he was the one who loved her first and then gave it all up just because he didn't want his feelings to be true.

Ginny watched Draco as he walked towards his parents. "It's okay, Gin,"whispered Harry. She smiled softly at him. If only he was right. If only she had not fallen for him. She was warned against it and she still fell for him. Something as a child she had sworn herself not to do. Too late for past promises. "He really hurt you, didn't he? What did he do?"

"It's what he didn't do."she whispered. Their eyes locked and Harry knew what she was talking about right away. They didn't talk about the matter again. Instead they walked over to the other Weasleys who were busy talking to Ron and Hermione about graduating.

Another year soon passed at Hogwarts. There was another boy to take Draco's place as Head Boy. A quiet Hufflepuff boy. A boy who kissed Ginny underneath a mistletoe and they started to date for a little bit, but then broke it off soon after. They remained friends though. That year Ginny became Seeker again. They won Quidditch Cup that year and Slytherin won the House Cup like it had the year before. Ginny passed all her NEWTS and was able to finally become a Healer. Not that this is the end though...

It was years after Ginny had last seen Draco. She was in the Leaky Cauldron with Luna. They were nearly twenty-three years old. Meaning Draco was twenty-four. It had been seven years since they had last seen each other. Voldemort had long since been defeated and no one worried about saying his name and no one worried about him coming back. Harry Potter, Hermione Granger, and Ron Weasley had successfully killed him. Ginny confessed to Luna that she was still constantly thinking about Draco. She still thought about what a difference it would have made if perhaps she had not said, 'I love you' when she had.

Draco walked into the Leaky Cauldron. Luna's eyes were the first to fall on him and he made a gesture for her to keep quiet. He quietly crept up to Ginny and placed his hands over her eyes. "Guess who?"he said softly.

"Harry?"she asked.

Draco scowled. "No."

"Ron?"

"No."

"Neville?"

"No. You're really bad at this guessing game, Weasley."

"Draco?"she asked in astonishment.

She turned around to come face-to-face with the boy she had not stopped thinking about since the day she walked out on him. The first and only boy to ever have sex with her. "Hi."

"What are you doing here?"she whispered.

"I'm claiming you back. If you have to know, I think about you everyday. I want to feel you moving underneath me again. I want to feel your fingers laced in mine. I want to hold you in my arms and never let you go. I want to marry you. I LOVE YOU GINNY WEASLEY!"he said, yelling the last part.

Moments passed of nothing but silence and then she finally whispered, "I love you, Draco Malfoy."

He pulled her into a kiss. "We're going to get married."he declared.

"Who decided this?"she asked.

"Well," He put something on her neck and pulled it making her lips crash into his. "You're still my slave."he whispered against her lips.

She looked down to find the collar on her neck. "That isn't going to work as a wedding ring."she replied.

He kneeled down next to her and for the first time looked serious. "Ginny Weasley, I made a mistake letting you go all those years ago, but I had to. It wasn't because I didn't love you because believe me I did. I beat myself over it everynight for messing up with you. I also didn't want to stick you in the middle of the wars. Not that you weren't already in them, but it was better to keep you only on one side. I love you though and I'm never going to let you go again. Will you marry me?"

She inhaled sharply and he pulled out a silver ring with a sparkling diamond on it. "Oh, wow."she breathed.

"Is that a yes?"

"Would it be anything but a yes?"

He slid the ring on her finger before pulling her off the chair and spinning her around. He planted a kiss on her forehead and gently settled her back into the chair. Luna watched with a smile on her face. "So when's the date?"she asked, a glimmer in her eyes.

"That's upto the woman."said Draco, with a smirk.

"Soon."replied Ginny.

True to her word, there soon was a wedding. They had no problems getting married. Neither families stood in the way though Lucius did cough something about, 'mudblood lover' when Ginny was walking up to Draco. Everyone pretended to ignore it. "I love you."whispered Ginny.

"Not as much as I love you."replied Draco.

She laughed and kissed him in front of everyone. His hands were laced in hers and the wedding was everything either pictured it being. Perfect.

AN: The end paragraph kind of sucks. I couldn't think of anything really. I knew I wanted them to get married, but I just couldn't think of a good way to do it. I just wanted to say thank-you to all of the people who reviewed. If no one had reviewed I would have stopped writing in like the very beginning. I'm thinking about writing a Tom story, but it's going to be kind of dark. It might be kind of a sequel to this story, but with Ginny and Draco's daughter.
