The feeling of shallowness filled Ginny more and more as time went on. Her heart broke every time they were forced to say goodbye.
"One day," Harry whispered in her ear as they watched the sun set, "we wont ever have to leave one another's side. Every moment we shall share together, and this will go on through our entire lives. I love you, Ginny, with my whole mind, body, soul, and most of all, my heart."
"Do you promise?" Ginny asked.
"Do I promise what?"
"To love me forever?"
"Of course I promise," Harry answered.
"How do you know you'll love me forever? How do you know that these feelings wont just one day, fade, as if by magic, much like that in which we possess? How do you know that something wont just get in between us and tear us apart?"
Love…this is one of those things that one just knows. It's something that cannot be defined nor explained. Love just is.
"Because every time we say goodbye, all I want to do is just pull you back to me, and hold you close until time's end. When I'm with you, I have the most amazing feeling possible. The feeling is better than magic, it's true love."
"Are you sure you wont get sick of me, Harry?"
"Positive. How you can put up with me, I have no idea. It amazes me that you love me…"
"But I do, and I promise to love you for all eternity. Never leave me."
"I wont. I promise."

They watched the sunset and the sky turn gray together, revealing the most beautiful stars in the universe. All was silent; all was peaceful. They lay there cuddled up underneath the star-filled sky with their breath synchronized.
"It's getting late, we should probably head back inside and go to bed—classes tomorrow. Summer will be here soon, though, so we'll have to do this again. And since I'm staying at your house for most of the summer, we'll have plenty of opportunity."
"Okay," Ginny sighed. Tears started to sting her eyes, but she refused to let them fall. I must stay strong…
Harry and Ginny slowly made their way back toward the castle, hand in hand. Harry walked her to the stairs that led up to her dormitory. "Goodnight my love." Harry kissed her cheek.
"Goodnight Harry."
"I love you. I'll see you in the morning."
"I love you too. Dream about me?"
"Always."
He turned away and walked to the other staircase. I will never let him see me cry…I can't let him believe I'm weak…. As she came to the door to the dormitory, she took a deep breath. A tear trickled down her freckled cheek. I'm so weak…
