Author's note: I'm sorry for how long it took me to write this chapter. I started the fic in July and wrote chapter 10 in September. I was going to cut myself off from this fic, but y'all are being so encouraging. So enjoy.
Without further ado—chapter 11.
Severus Snape looked at the crates ever so inappropriately labeled "Potion Ingredient." He flicked at one of the caution signs magically nailed to the side.
"Minister…" Severus began with a dull tone in his voice. Nothing ever changed about Severus's tone. It was always the same monotonous drone, constantly.
"Yes Severus?" Cornelius Fudge responded with a similar manner.
"These are most definitely not potions ingredients."
The Minister of Magic was exasperated. "Oh?"
"They are, however, a form of muggle food. I believe it's eaten for breakfast."
"Food? Really? How astonishing."
"Yes, I'm pretty sure they're called Frosted Flakes."
"But why would muggle food be delivered to the Ministry of Magic?" The appalled minister asked. Although, Severus Snape was unable to give a logical explanation. How did the cereal end up at the office, and why was it labeled as a potion ingredient?

"Ginny, I want to be the husband you deserve." Harry said, looking into her shining eyes. Ginny was positively glowing, and she couldn't stop herself from smiling. "I promise to love you with all that I am."
"Awe! Harry!" Ginny let out a girlish squeal. "You wouldn't even have to try, and already you'd be more than I deserve!"
"That's not true and you know it!" Harry argued.
"Oh really?" Her voice sounded as if it were fishing for compliments, as girls normally do.
"Really. Everything that has happened has not, and will not, stop us from being together. We've been to bloody hell and back and look, we're getting married! Love really does conquer all. And you know what they say, 'That which does not kill us only makes us stronger.' Those people can't be complete idiots!"

"I think I may have an idea as to how this got here and why." Severus explained to the minister. "It appears we have some crafty students on our hands back at Hogwarts."
"Ah well, teenagers. Can't always expect them to behave." Cornelius Fudge joked back.
"Well I better be off back to the school. I have lesson plans to draw up and a few reports to grade… bloody reports. Never done grading them. Distractions always seem to find me."
"Well, thanks for your…er… assistance, Professor."
"Anytime," said Severus with a dry sarcasm.

Dear Severus,
I'm truly happy without you, now that I have moved on. I am still with the amazing Harry Potter, as I'm sure you have heard. This afternoon was the most amazing anyone could ever have asked for, and it was all because of him. I'm deeply in love with Harry Potter and not you. I loathe everything about you. You need to get your head out of your arse and get a life. Washing your hair may also help in your search to find someone as great as me. Good luck with that, by the way…because the chances of you finding someone that even comes close to me isn't likely.
Anyway—I'm just writing to tell you that I'm not sorry that what we have is over, done with, completely. Forever. I'm the fiancée of an amazing wizard who will grow up to do amazing things, Harry Potter. Yes, that's right. I said fiancée. We are engaged to be married.
I'm truly over you, Severus Snape. I hope you realize what a mistake you made. Too late for when you do realize it.
Sincerely,
Ginny Potter
Ginny glanced over her letter, her masterpiece, once more before she folded the parchment up nicely. "Harry, I'm going to go deliver this letter. I shall return shortly." She bent down to kiss Harry's cheek, as he was far too busy playing Wizard's Chess against Ron to look away.
"Who's it for?"
"Oh… Snape. But don't worry… it's just for closure. It's basically a 'I hate you, I hope you rot in hell' letter. I even signed it Ginny Potter."
"Oh. Ok then…don't be gone too long. You never know when Snape will return." Harry chuckled to himself, but Ginny didn't seem to notice what was funny.
Even more author's notes: Thank you to everyone who reads, and managed to get this far. People tell me "Ginny/Snape…ewwww!" all of the time. I think it's a fun ship to do. Keep the reviews coming… I appreciate them all!
