"Hermione…how do I look?" Ginny asked excitedly.

"Like a Hogwarts graduate, how do I look?" Hermione asked.

"Like a Hogwarts graduate." Ginny replied sweetly. "Oh, this is so exciting Hermione I can't believe we finally did it."

Ginny and Hermione were currently in their dormitory, packing up their belongings for the return home later that afternoon. They were both dressed in maroon colored, gold trim, dress robes and matching wizard hats with large round brims. The rest of the school had left for summer vacation early that morning, leaving only the graduating seventh years behind.

Both of the Patil twins were currently sitting on Parvati's bed watching Ginny and Hermione pack. All of the seventh years found out a few days ago that it is tradition to visit each other's houses on the last day, the one and only chance to see into each other's common rooms. Various seventh year Ravenclaws and Hufflepuffs had stopped by after breakfast but the slytherins refused to come close which suited the other houses just fine. Luna had stopped by to take a look into the common room and was now sitting on the floor of the girls' dormitory playing with Crookshanks.

"Are you two done packing yet, we only have twenty minutes before we need to be outside." Luna said softly.

Hermione and Ginny took one last glance around the room, then under their beds and shut the lids of their trunks. Luna, Hermione, Ginny, and the twins each took a turn glancing in a mirror hanging on the wall before they turned and walked out of their dorm. Ginny and Parvati hung around for one last glance at the room they had spent so much time in, then followed the rest of the girls down the stairs. Ginny caught up with Hermione, and Hermione put a arm around her shoulder.

"I know how you feel; it's sad that we are leaving but we just need to think of the lives that we are heading into." Hermione said brightly.

"I know, I can't wait to see Harry after the ceremony but you only spent a year in that room, I spent seven. It's like I'm loosing a good friend." Ginny said sadly.

Hermione kissed Ginny on the cheek and said, "It's time to move on Gin, are you ready?"

Ginny realized that they had reached the common room and standing there was the entire seventh year Gryffindor's as well as a few people from other houses dressed in their graduation robes. Each of them was looking at her and Hermione, mostly at Hermione. Luna walked over to Neville who was holding a wrapped box, picked up the box then walked back over to Hermione.

"Hermione, Ginny we have something for you. We all wanted to say thank you for everything you have done for us." Luna said brightly then handed the box to Hermione.

"What I have done? I didn't do anything…" Hermione asked slightly confused.

"Yes you did, if it wasn't for you, Ron, Harry and Ginny we never would have been able to come back to school. You-know-who would still be out there and we will still be in hiding. This is the least we can do for youfor helping us get here." Neville said brightly.

Hermione blushed then looked at Ginny who seemed stunned at this sudden gesture from her classmates. "Well, I um…thank you." Hermione said.

Each of them in turn walked forward and shook Ginny and Hermione's hand then left the room to head for the ceremony. Soon it was only Hermione and Ginny left in the room, Hermione smiled, sat the box on a table and untied the ribbon that was on it. Ginny ripped off the wrapping paper to reveal a bright gold box with the Gryffindor crest on top of it. Hermione lifted the lid and put her hand to her mouth as she looked at its contents.

Ginny reached her hand down into the box and pulled out two long gold sashes. "Oh my…it's…it's…"

"It's the Hogwarts Graduation Honor sashes; they haven't given these out to anyone in years." Hermione said. "The only way they give these to a student is if the whole school including teachers votes upon it."

"You mean the whole entire school voted to give these to us?" Ginny asked, still stunned.

"Yes and we ware them to the ceremony." Hermione said as she draped the sash over her shoulder.

Ginny mimicked Hermione, gave her a hug and said, "Alright Hermione, let's go."

It was a bright sunny day, perfect weather, not a cloud in the sky. Ginny couldn't have asked for a better day for graduation. All of the students were seated around the lake in order according to their house. All of the professors were sitting in chairs on a small stage facing the students. All the friends and family members were sitting back behind the students flashing cameras and wiping tears.

Headmaster McGonagall was giving a grand speech about how children are the future and that each of the graduates was a shining example of the excellence Hogwarts produces. After her speech a few other teachers stood up and said a few parting words and then the Head Boy and Girl were given pins for their service to the school. Next Hermione and Ginny were honored by McGonagall for being the first students in ten years to earnthe Graduation Honor sashes. Ginny laughed as she heard Ron and Harry cheering from the crowd.

Next it was time for the actual award ceremony. Each student in turn was called forward to shake hands with each head of house then receive a certificate from McGonagall. Once a student got their certificate they lined up around the edge of the lake and waited. Slowly, one by one the students in chairs started to thin as the students around the lake started to grow.

Once each student had their certificate in hand McGonagall stepped forward once more and said, "Professors, friends, and family…I present to you the future of the wizarding world." Everyone got to their feet and cheered as the Hogwarts Graduates tossed their hats into the air and started to hug one another.

There was one last round of hand shaking between students and teachers then slowly each graduate went to find there family and get ready to head home. Hermione and Ginny found their way over to Ron and Harry along with the rest of the Weasley and Granger families. Fred had a rather large camera in tow and was shooting photographs every five seconds. Hermione and Ginny now had large stars in their eyes before long. Finally after what seemed like hours of hugging Harry and Ginny were able to step aside and have a few moments to themselves.

Harry hugged Ginny tightly and said, "I'm so proud of you Ginny."

Ginny pulled out of the hug and kissed him softly, "Thank you Harry, it was a hard year but thanks to you I did it!"

Harry took Ginny's hand and led her over to a chair, motioned for her to sit down and then sat down himself. "Ginny, I know you're excited about our house but I hope you know that we have to keep living with Ron and Hermione for awhile."

"Of course, I know it's going to take some time to fix it up; I think it's going to fun anyways." Ginny said brightly.

"Good." Harry said with the sound of relief and nervousness at the same time. "Ginny, I umm, I need to ask you something."

Ginny was still to full of excitement to notice the sound of Harry's nervousness. She was absentmindedly looking around at all of her classmates leaving as she said, "Okay Harry, what's up?"

Suddenly the world around her turned from fast excitement to slow motion. Everything seemed to stand still; people were holding their breath and staring at her as Harry went from his chair to down on one knee in front of Ginny. Ginny swore she saw a humming bird slowly fly by as she watched Harry reach into his robes and pull out a small red velvet box. He took a deep breath and looked up into Ginny's eyes, who was now paying attention to him, more than she ever had in her entire life.

Harry slowly opened up the box and held it up into the air. In the box was the most beautiful silver ring Ginny had ever seen. A single diamond rested on top, surrounded by two smaller green emeralds on either side. The box was lined with red silk that caused the ring to look even more vibrant.

Once more Harry took a deep breath and said, "Ginny, this past year without you has been the loneliest and hardest days of my life. Everyday when I wake up your on my mind, when I go to sleep you're face is the last thing I think of. I talk about how wonderful you are to every person I meet, and count down the seconds until I see you next. I can't stand being apart from you, and I don't want to be apart from you ever again. Ginny Weasley, will you marry me?"

Ginny couldn't help herself, it was as if she lost all self control, tears just poured from her eyes and her hand shook as Harry took the ring from the box and placed in onto her finger, it fit perfectly. Ginny wiped her tears with her hand and threw her arms around Harry and started kissing all over his face.

"YES, YES, YES!" Ginny said loudly. The world speed up once again and she suddenly became aware of clapping and cheering all around her. While still wrapped around Harry she lifted her hand and looked at her new ring. "Oh Harry, it's the most beautiful thing I have ever seen."

"You're the most beautiful thing I have ever seen." Harry replied back and then kissed Ginny once more.

Hermione came running over, jumping up and down. Ginny released Harry and turned to her and showed her the ring. She squealed and hugged Ginny. "Can you believe it, were both getting married!"

Ron and his brothers were patting Harry on the back and congratulating him while Mr. & Mrs. Weasley and Mr. & Mrs. Granger shook each other's hands. Ginny walked up to her Mum and Dad and hugged them both.

Mr. Weasley wrapped his arms around Ginny and said, "I can't believe my youngest daughter is getting married, and to Harry Potter none the less!"

Ginny smiled and said, "Didn't you already know? Surely he asked your permission?"

"Oh, he did but I still can't believe it." Mr. Weasley smiled and hugged Ginny once more.

Mrs. Weasley seemed at a loss for words and simply hugged and kissed Ginny then walked away wiping tears.

Ginny walked back over to Harry and took his hand. "Come on Harry; come with me to get my things so we can get out of here."

Harry didn't hesitate and followed her back up to the castle. They walked back up the lawn, through the oak front doors and started headed up the grand staircase. Ginny suddenly realized that almost everyone one was gone and the castle seemed deserted. A sudden daring overcame Ginny and she stopped, pushed Harry against a wall and pinned him.

"Ginny, what the…" Harry tried to say but was interrupted as Ginny's lips came crashing into his, quickly silencing him.

When she finally came up for air she took his hand and started to pull him up stairs again. As they climbed Ginny said, "It's the last time I will be this castle, I want to make the most of it."

Harry was stunned at Ginny's actions, he had never seen her so aggressive but then again he had hardly seen her at all sense last August. He followed Ginny still hand in hand up the numerous stairs and into the Gryffindor common room. The common room was deserted and messy from students leaving that morning and searching for lost items. The moment the portrait of the fat lady closed Ginny placed a locking charm around it. She turned and looked at Harry with a rather odd expression on her face.

Ginny slowly started to walk towards Harry who still had a shocked look on his face. Inch by inch she crept towards him with a rather evil looking smile. She finally made her way over to Harry who was now leaning on the arm of the couch, reached up and pushed his robes off his shoulders. She smiled again and said, "Do you know the last time we were alone together?"

"Yeah, at Christmas." Harry replied.

"Right, almost seven months ago, seven months is a long time Harry." Ginny said as she pushed herself into Harry and started to unbutton his white dress shirt.

"Trust me I know, but Ginny this isn't really the place." Harry said trying not to admit that he was enjoying himself.

"Why not, everyone is gone, the door is locked and this is something I have been dreaming about all year." Ginny smiled as Harry's shirt fell gracefully to the ground. "And don't forget we need to celebrate, were getting married."

At this Harry smiled, "Well then, we best hurry there are people waiting on us."

Ginny practically squealed with delight then pushed Harry rather roughly down onto the couch. She pulled off the Gryffindor robes she had on for graduation and straddled Harry, school shirt and skirt still on. The sun was shining just right as it caught a reflection off of Ginny's new ring. She stopped to admire it for a moment then leaned down and started to kiss Harry roughly.

After a few moments of intense kissing Ginny reached down and undid Harry's zipper while Harry ran his hands up the front of Ginny's shirt. Ginny repositioned herself on top of him and started to move her hips up and down. The sound of Ginny and Harry's moans echoed around the large room and had anyone been in the castle they would have given themselves away.

Ginny let out one last scream as she climaxed then quickly got up off of Harry and sat on the edge of the couch to catch her breath. Harry zipped up, picked his shirt up off the floor and sat down beside Ginny as he stared to button his shirt, he too was breathing deeply.

Harry leaned over and kissed Ginny's neck then said, "Well…we have never done it like that before."

Ginny laughed and ran her fingers through Harry's hair in an attempt to make it look less messy. "No we haven't, but we better hurry or there going to worry." Ginny said still winded.

"Right, let's get your bags then." Harry said standing up and putting his robes back on.

Ginny smiled and picked up her graduation robes and said, "My bags were already sent to our apartment."

"You mean you only brought me up here to…" Harry said shocked once more.

"What to take advantage of you, yes that's why I brought you up here. Does that upset you?" Ginny said as she headed towards the portrait hole and unlocked it.

"Am I upset, no…not really." Harry smiled and followed Ginny through the portrait hole heading out of the castle one last time.
