Hi ppl, after receiving lots of threats, I have finally come up with another chapter. You may not believe it but some1 actually threatened to eat up my pillows so that I couldn't sleep in peace if I dun update soon. You know who you r, but if u really eat up my feather pillow, I'm gonna turn you into a big fluffy pillow and drool on you as I sleep. Haha!!

And sorry people for not updating for the past 2 weeks. I have to prepare for my exams and I simply can't afford the time to write anything. Hope you all dun think that I'm giving up my fic halfway through, there is no way am I gonna give up writing.

I've finished my exam * hip hip hurray * and I've got all the time in the world now. I just pray that I pass all my papers so that I dun have to take supplementary paper, it sucks.

This chapter is dedicated to all of you.

Scene: At the café

"Where do you want to go after this?" Ginny asked Harry, who was sipping coffee, shrugged his shoulders,

"You give suggestions."

"Maybe we'll just find a nice spot in the park and sit there", Ginny answered.

"Okay with me, I'm too tired to go anywhere else anyway, shall we go now?" Harry put down his half drank coffee, footed the bill and they walked out of the café.

~*~

Harry had his hands in his front pockets of his fading grey jeans and Ginny had her hands behind her back. Harry was absorbed in his own thoughts while Ginny hummed a breakfast cereal jingle to herself. They walked in silence towards the direction of the park, the only noise was the humming of the insects and the crackling of dried up leaves under their feet.

Before they realised it, they had reached the noisy park and settled themselves under a huge shady tree. They sat next to each other in silence, watching a group of boys around their age, shouting and screaming in excitement as they tried to kick a ball into the goal, which was only a huge net to Ginny.

They watched for about fifteen minutes when a small raven-haired boy kicked the ball into the opponent's goal, which helped his team to gain an additional point. There was an immediate uproar after that, the whole team ran to him trying to slap his back.

At this, Harry smiled. He could remember vividly when he caught the snitch on his first game, the first Gryffindor victory after the legendary Charlie Weasley left Hogwarts. The whole Quidditch team was slapping his back and the misty eyed Oliver wiping away tears, the moment was priceless. It was the best moment in his life, and this was the memory that enabled Harry to produce the best Patronus.

After the crowd around the boy who had scored a moment ago thinned away, he spotted Harry and Ginny under the tree, and ran excitedly towards them.

"Hiya Harry, hiya Ginny! Did you see that goal I scored?" the boy asked in a squeaky voice.

"Yes, we did. It was simply awesome, I bet even David Beckham couldn't do it. Good one, Mark", Harry replied in a very sincere tone

"He sure does know how to make people feel good", Ginny thought impressed.

"Want to join us for a round?" Mark asked hopefully

"Nah, I'm too tired and I'm not good at it like you are. Thanks though", Harry rejected Mark's invitation politely.

Mark was now grinning from ear to ear, Harry's making him feel real good about himself.

"Wow, the affect he had on people around him was great. There is always sunshine around him and that's why people like to hang around him. That's why I always love to be around him, even if he doesn't know of my existence", Ginny thought to herself

"Well then, I've got to go. They are calling me", Mark said, gesturing at his teammates who were waving at them and went to rejoin them.

Harry and Ginny sat back onto the tree and resumed watching the matching silence until Ginny suddenly broke the silence,

"Harry....."

"Hmm......?"

"Are you always that nice to people, bringing joy to people around you?" Ginny asked timidly. After a long pause as if trying to absorb what Ginny just asked, he replied,

"No". Ginny snapped her head to Harry's direction in surprise and stared at him, his posture was no longer relaxed; instead, it was sort of tensed up.

"Everyone associated with me never come to a good ending. My parents, Sirius, Ron, Hermione and you. So many times, Ron and Hermione had almost died because of my attempts to be a hero. Mum, Dad and Sirius died to save my filthy skin when they could enjoy the world longer. And you, you were almost killed that night", Harry's voice trailed away.

"No, Harry. You're wrong. Your parents exchanged their lives for yours because they love you too much to lose you. If supposing, you were killed that night and your parents survived the attack, do you think they will be happy? No, they will be living and suffering at the same time. They will die slowly; the pain and guilt would be eating them away. As for Sirius and us, we are willing to risk our lives for many other innocents who may cross the path of evil. We are all willing to exchange our lives for many more lives. And Sirius exchanged his life for ours because he thought that we were worth it". It was now Harry's turn to stare hard at Ginny,

"Really? Did they really think so?" he questioned.

"Yes, they did. And don't think their death as a loss and not worth it because it is an insult to their memory. They want to be remembered as the parents who love their child so deeply as to put his safety before their well being, and people who sacrificed themselves for the safety of others." Harry was struck dumb for a moment not knowing what to say, he continue staring at Ginny but this time, his eyes was soft with emotion, tears sparkled in his eyes like mist on green leaf.

"Thank you, Ginny. Thank you for enlightening me. Thank you for giving me a hand and pulling me out of misery. I don't know what I would be without your company for the past weeks." Harry told Ginny sincerely and held her hands firmly in his.

"Anytime Harry, anytime. I'm always there for you even if you don't notice it, just remember we all love you", Ginny whispered in an inaudible voice.

Harry kissed her forehead and put his arm around her shoulders to express his gratitude towards her. There they sat beside each other providing comfort and assurance, and they were so comfortable with each other's company that they simply just fell asleep in that position, Harry with his arm around Ginny's shoulders and head on top of Ginny's head which had found its way onto Harry's shoulder.
