Author's Note: Wow! I have eighty-five reviews! That's the most any of our stories that have been written by only one of us has gotten! Thank you guys so much! Plus I have the most hits, the most favorites, and the most alerts! I'm so happy! And it's all because of you! (Padfoot and Moony, this applies to you too.)

I'm sorry that I didn't clear this up! Pomona is Professor Sprout. Pomona means "apple".

I have a question for you guys! Does anyone know if Luna really lives by the Weasleys? I have seen it in several fics and I wanted to know if it was true or not!

Another question! Have you ever seen Newsies? It's so good! It's about the New York Newsies strike in 1899; Christian Bale, the guy who played Batman in Batman Begins is the lead! He is so cute! It's weird though, because he is British and he has a New York accent! Well I saw it on a movie channel last night and freaked out! We watched it in choir because we are doing the song "Seize the Day" from the movie and watched it in choir! So good!

Well that's the end of my questions… except for: will you review? And sorry for the ridiculously long author's note. You don't really have to read them…

As her skin rapidly turned the shade of her hair, Ginny rushed into the classroom. That was great timing; lots of people around, she was shouting, right near a classroom, what more was there to ask for?

And now she would have to avoid stampedes of girls asking who she had "lost" her heart to. Great. Just great. But at least she had lost it to the right person…

The lesson passed by in a blur. She was bombarded with frantic girls the whole class and didn't even want to try to answer their questions. They were all fake whispering, "Who was it Ginny? Was he cute? Oh, please tell us!" It went on the whole entire time. No break, no time off- only those stupid questions. She was ready to curse the next girl who asked her who had changed her heart. A nice Bat-Bogey Hex would calm Ginny nicely.

Ginny stomped away to the Common Room, nearly growling with pent-up anger and frustration. It was Harry's entire stupid fault! If he hadn't been so- so infuriating she wouldn't have said anything!

She gave the password to the Fat Lady (Poodle-oodle) and marched in. Just as she took her first step, she realized that Harry would be in here too. Well, she'd get to the direct confrontation. But then it would be in front of everyone; they would stare. Ron would be furious. Harry was his best mate! It was bad enough with Dean, it would be worse with Harry! But still… she lived for risks.

Scanning the room, Ginny caught sight of Harry. He was talking to Ron. That was helpful. She filled her lungs with lots of clean air, full of the bustling noises of the students. Most of the Gryffindors hadn't come in yet, but they would soon. It was best to get it over with now.

She crossed the room to Harry, a hard, blazing look fixed on her face.

"Hello," she said pleasantly. "Might as well finish what I started." And then she kissed him fiercely. There was no hesitation, no shyness, just the kiss. It filled hr up with such an intense feeling that Ginny thought she might burst from happiness and passion.

Ginny broke the kiss with a smile playing on her face. She looked up at Harry, who was bewildered. She then looked over at the ultimate test- Ron. There was a slight look of disgust on his face, but he stared at Ginny right in the eyes. He gave the slightest nod of all time. Ginny's smile grew to her ears; she had Ron's approval! She saw Hermione positively glowing with happiness. Maybe she had something to do with Ron's acceptance… but there was time to ponder that later.

"So do I still have to shut up?" Harry asked, half-serious.

"I have other things for you to do," said Ginny mischievously. She pressed her mouth to his, gentler this time. She wanted to make sure that he wasn't playing around with her. Harry kissed her back and Ginny knew that he was true. Neither Dean nor Zacharias Smith's kisses had felt this way; this was something different- special. This was sincere feeling, not just a fling that she would abandon.

"Alright, that's enough!" Ron said sternly. He did look the slightest bit amused. It was definitely Hermione that had brought the change, Ginny decided.

"Look who's talking! You and Lavender did it all over the place! In the Great Hall, between classes, in the Common Room, in empty classes," Ginny counted on her fingers. She wasn't exaggerating; more than once she had caught Ron and Lavender having a snog in the hallway. Frankly, it was quite disgusting. It gave Ginny a nightmare once. She couldn't quite remember it, but she knew that it had Ron and Lavender snogging. That she was sure of.

"But…" Ron tried to think of a comeback. He wasn't very good at them. Ginny was so much better than him! It was one of her strengths, making fun of Ron. Fred and George had shown her the way to greatness…

"I wouldn't try too hard to think of something to say, Ron. You might hurt yourself," Ginny was getting a little carried away, but she felt so light and happy. This was the best thing Dumbledore had ever planned. How could she think that it wasn't?

"Come on Harry," Ginny ordered, tugging on his arm. She knew a special place where they could go. He knew where it was too.

"Okay," Harry said obediently.

They walked hand-in-hand through the halls. Ginny couldn't stop smiling. It was a genuine smile this time; there wasn't any coyness or phony natural smile in it. It felt good to be really smiling. There hadn't been much to smile about this year; all the deaths and chaos were heavy on their shoulders. Ginny knew many people who had lost a parent or close relative from the destruction that Voldemort and his followers were causing.

Valentine's Day was a way to be apart from all of that. It let people be happy for at least a day and maybe more. Ginny knew that there would be many more happy days for her. Even with the O.W.L.s, Harry would be by her side.

And as cliché as it sounded, Ginny knew that this would be the most magical Valentine's Day of her life. Well… there could be some other things that happened, but those were in the future and all Ginny just wanted to be in the present.

Wasn't that adorable! Not as much humor as the last chapter, but I still liked it!

The epilogue will be up soon!

Before I go, I have one last thing to say: we are doing this at my school! But it will be different. We are going to do it for St. Patrick's Day, but the guys will have to be silent! At lunch, the girl with the most shamrocks will get a prize. I'm not going to be very good at it; I'm really shy. Just ask Padfoot and Moony, they'll tell you!

Love,

Prongs
