Ginny Weasley swaggered down the long, dark corridors with her diamond ring catching every bit of spare light. She was extremely proud, almost appearing too arrogant, but she was absolutely glowing.
When she reached the door to Snape's classroom, she thought of knocking. Should I? I don't see what harm it could cause. He's probably not even around anyway, but if he is, I can just hand him the note and leave.

Severus Snape stepped into the fireplace. He had a handful of floo powder captured by his extensive, bony fingers.
Waste of my precious time.
Secretly, he really welcomed the excuse to get away from it all. He didn't want to be sitting around his class all day, for lack of anything better to do. He knew he'd think about her.
But would she think about me?
"Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry!"

Just as Ginny was about to knock, she heard a bang from the other side of the door. With barely any time to think, she taped the note magically to the door, knocked, and ran.
XxXx
Severus had heard the knock as he arrived back in his dull and lonely classroom. He opened the door to see who was beckoning his attention to find nothing but a note.
He uncharmed the note so that he could remove it from the door. He had a bad feeling about this. Reading the note in private was for the best.
XxXx
She was on the verge of tears. Ginny surely could not return to the common room looking like this; Harry might find out her secret. Yes, she loved him, but she wasn't in love with him.
Ginny had no idea where else to go except for the one room that, without a doubt, would help her. The Room of Requirement… that is where I'll go.
When Ginny arrived at The Room of Requirement, she was lost in thought. As she paced back and fourth, thinking about what she needed, she couldn't stop crying. The door appeared and opened up to a room with a comfortable looking couch and boxes upon boxes of Kleenex.
She took a box and sat down on the couch.
I can't believe I'm so torn up over this. Not too long ago, I was in this very room with my fiancée on one knee asking me to marry him. How can I not be happy with that?
Ginny knew what she had to do. She had to grin and bare it… and she had to move on.
XxXx
As Snape read the note, he maintained a composure that is not imaginable. Her words bit through him like strong venom. Severus Snape loved Ginny Weasley more than one could possibly believe.
I would give up everything for her. She's the only one I could possibly even wish to be with. Why can't things work out between us? I need her…
XxXx
Ginny walked up to the boy's dormitory next to the Gryffindor common room. Girls were allowed in the boys' rooms, but not the other way around. In the room, she found Harry reading a book about Quidditch. He was always studying about how to improve his game. Aside from Harry and Ginny, nobody else was in the room, as it was only around 7. Most were in The Great Hall eating their supper.
She swaggered over to the window and drew the drapes, even though it was nighttime. Harry had a look of utter confusion on his face, which Ginny noticed.
"It's okay," She assured him.
"Really?" He asked. She turned away from the now blocked window and walked back toward Harry's bed.
"Yes."
Harry, sitting at the foot of his bed, was just a little shorter than Ginny, who was standing at her full height. His hands grabbed her waist; their eyes met. Her hands cupped his face gracefully as she pulled him to a kiss.
