A/n: I just wanted to thank all those to have reviewed this story and to say that I'm really grateful to them…
Well, on with the story…
After leaving Hermione behind, Harry walked towards the Gryffindor common room, where he knew he would find Ginny.
It was around 9 o'clock, and he supposed all the other Gryffindors were sleeping. He muttered the password quickly to the Fat Lady, holding his breath in anticipation…
Ginny was seated in the sofa before the fire, gazing into it while tears slid across her face. When the portrait swung open, she didn't look.
It was only when she felt a presence behind her that she turned around, her eyes turning cold when she saw who it was that had entered.
She wiped away quickly her tears, then stood up to face him 'Oh, it's just you…Well, I'll be going now, don't want to interrupt…'
Before she could pass him, tough, he had grabbed her by the shoulders.
'Just hear me out, okay?' he said.
'I thought I told you to stay away from me', she hissed back.
She struggled to escaped his embrace, but he was stronger than her, and she finally abandoned.
When he felt Ginny stop fighting his restraint, he let her go, and before she could escape it, locked gazes with her.
'I love you' he said.
Ginny's eyes flashed 'Why are you doing this? Why do you want to keep hurting me?' she asked him.
'I don't', he said.
'What?' she locked inquiringly into his eyes.
'I don't want to hurt you. And I'm sorry about the dare. I never really went out with you because of it. Maybe at the beginning, but then I found out my true feelings and…It wasn't because of the dare that I went out with you.'
He looked into her brown eyes and said 'The truth is, Ginny, I fell in love with you. I just…want to tell you I'm really sorry for hurting you.'
Then, he kissed her on the forehead and turned his back to her and walked to the boy's dormitory.
He had only climbed the first two steps, however, when he was stopped by Ginny's voice. 'Do you really mean it?' she asked him, her voice shaking with emotion.
He turned around, his heart beating fast, and he took a few steps toward her.
When he was just in front of her, he answered 'Yes. I really do love you, Ginny.'
With one step, Ginny closed the remaining gap between them and kissed him fully on the lips.
When they pulled apart, he was grinning like a madman, happy to have the love of his life back.
'I love you too', Ginny said, her words warming his heart.
The next morning, Hogwarts was just as bewildered when the two couples entered, hand in hand, the Great Hall as it had been when they had split up.
However, everyone decided to just ignore it and act as if it never happened…
And so, the two Gryffindor Lions and two Gryffindor Tigers had once again won against evil, but this time with a much sweeter weapon: love.
So Dumbledore was right when he had said that love is a powerful thing…
Well, I hope you enjoyed it…I know I loved it…Did you guess who the lions and who the Tigers were?
If not, I'm telling you know now: the Tigers are Hermione and Ginny, because of their fierce character…and the Lions are Ron and Harry, because of their protectiveness towards their girlfriends…
Review, please…
Oh yeah, be on the lookout for my next stories 'Wicked Marauders' and 'Slytherin versus Gryffindor'
