Ginny soon drifted off to sleep and drowned in her own wonderful dreams.
"Tonight was great Harry," Ginny said. Her and Harry were sitting in a park bench.
"Yeah," Harry said. They sat there in silence for a while. "Y'know these past years have been great, and I hope our future is even better," He pause and he got down on one knee. "Ginerva Molly Weasley," This was it! She thought, He used my full name and he never uses it. "I love you more than ever, will you marry me?" he asked.
"Ginny, Ginny time to get up!" Hermione was shaking Ginny.
"Argh, Hermione!" Ginny said throwing a pillow at her best friend.
"Oh, sorry, what were you dreaming about?" Hermione said realizing that she was having a good dream and didn't want to be disturbed.
"Nothing," Ginny said.
"It was about Harry wasn't it?" Hermione grinned.
"Fine, he was asking to marry me, and you woke me up right after he asked! I didn't even get to reply!" Ginny said throwing another pillow at Hermione. "Not a word to anyone, ok?" Ginny said.
"Not a word to anyone about what?" Harry said.
"Nothing!" Ginny said. Hermione looked ready to burst. "Hermione, don't you dare," Ginny said dangerously.
"Oh ok, it's time for breakfast," Harry said leaving the room.
"Phew, I swear Hermione if you tell him you WILL be sorry," Ginny said.
"Ok, ok, ok," Hermione said rubbing the back of her head where Ginny's pillow's hit. They got dressed and ran downstairs for breakfast.
"Good morning, everyone!" Ginny said when she got down the stairs.
"You're in a good mood today," Harry observed.
"Of, course! Everyday with you is a good day!" Ginny said, pecking Harry's cheek.
"What would you like dears? I've got eggs, bacon, toast," Mrs. Weasley listed.
"Just toast please," Hermione politely said and she took a seat next to Ron.
"Morning, 'Mione," Ron said as she sat down.
"Morning, Ron," Hermione kindly said. They ate breakfast and cleaned up their dishes.
"Mum can Harry, Hermione and Ron take me to Diagon Ally to get supplies?" Ginny asked.
"It's a bit early but yes, it's only July for Merlin's sake, of course, you can use the Floo Powder," Mrs. Weasley said. Harry and Ginny went first, followed by Ron and Hermione.
"Ok, so are we headed over to Gringotts first?" Harry asked.
"Sure," Hermione agreed. They made their way through the crowded streets to the large leaning marble tower. They all loaded onto one cart and were speeding off towards the vaults. First, they got to the Weasley's vault that had a little more than Harry remembered.
"Fred and George are doing really good at the joke shop and they put parts of their income in the family's vault," Ron explained after seeing Harry's confused look. Next, they went to Harry's vault, and he gathered some of his fortune and put it in his bag. Hermione already had money she hadn't spent from a previous trip to Diagon Ally. The cart brought them back up to the main part of Gringotts and they got out of the cart and exited the building.
"Ok, where to next?" Harry asked.
"Let's go to Flourish and Blotts next," Ginny suggested. The group made it down the street and into the packed Flourish and Blotts. Harry and Ginny went over to where Ginny could get her books and Hermione wondered off to find a good book for her, and Ron meandered off to where the Quidditch books were.
"So, what do you need?" Harry asked. Ginny showed him her list and they purchased all the required books. "Let's go find Hermione and Ron, you find Hermione and I'll find Ron," Harry said and they split up. Harry found Ron who put down his Quidditch book he was looking at. "Ready to go, mate?" Ron asked. Harry nodded and they made their way back over to the front to wait for the girls. Hermione and Ginny returned and Hermione had a bog in her hand, she must have purchased some books. Next they went to Apothecary and Ginny collected her last school things.
"Ok, let's go back to the Burrow I'm beat," Ron said.
"You guys go back, Ginny and I have some business to take care of," Harry said.
"And what's that?" Hermione said.
"Just at Hogwarts, I bet Ginny told you my plan, am I right? Because I told Ron," Harry said.
"Right," Hermione said. Ron and Hermione went back through the fire at the Leaky Cauldron.
"Ready?" Harry asked Ginny. She nodded and they both stepped into the fire and Harry shouted, "Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, headmistresses office!" and they started to spin in the violent green flames. The spinning decreased and before them was Dumbledore's old office that was now Professor McGonagall. She was sitting at her desk when she realized she had company.
"Potter, Weasley!" she exclaimed in surprise. "What are you doing here? Here, let's clean you off," she said pulling out her wand. "It's ok Professor, I got it," Harry said, using his wand he cleaned Ginny and himself off. "We're here to ask you something," Ginny said. McGonagall nodded for them to continue.
"I was wondering, if it was ok, if Ginny could come back to Godric's Hollow every night after classes, to live with Hermione, Ron and me," Harry said.
"Yes, yes, of course, that'll be fine." McGonagall said. Harry and Ginny grinned at each other, and Harry said thanks and they turned to leave.
"Wait, can you please go collect Mr. Weasley and Ms. Granger and come back to my office, I have something for you," She said and Ginny and Harry departed back to the Burrow to go get Ron and Hermione. Mrs. Weasley greeted them and Harry told her what happened.
"We asked McGonagall if Ginny could come live with me, Hermione and Ron at Godric's Hollow after classes. Oh, right I didn't ask you if it was ok, but I hope you allow her to come live with us," Harry pleaded.
"Of course, after all you are the one who saved her a week ago, we feel completely safe with her living with you lot," Mrs. Weasley smiled. Harry remembered how close Ginny had come to death, when he saved her.
The two groups faced each other, wands drawn. Harry was facing Voldemort for the umpteenth time, but for the last. This was it, the big battle. This was the battle that ended it all. The outcome was simple either Harry or Voldemort would be victorious and the other, dead. The Order, D.A., and some Aurors were backing Harry up and the Death Eaters, Voldemort.
"This is it, Voldemort! I've destroyed all your Horcruxes and I'm here to avenge my parents, Sirius, Cedric and Dumbledore!" Harry shouted.
"My Horcruxes! You destroyed my Horcruxes! Why wasn't I told!" Voldemort screeched.
"I'm sorry my Lord, no one knew," Snape begged, at Voldemort's feet.
"You!" Harry yelled at Snape. "Dumbledore trusted you and you go and kill him! This is for Dumbledore!" Harry shouted and shot Snape with one curse and he was dead. This move started the whole thing.
"You killed my most faithful servant! How dare you! Attack him!" Voldemort hissed and no one hesitated to disobey him. The Order, Aurors and the D.A. charged and started flinging spells in every direction. Immediately Aurors and Death Eaters were killed. They D.A. guarded Harry as he started to kill Death Eaters. As Deaths grew the number of soldiers on the battlefield lowered. They suffered deaths from the D.A., Zacharias Smith, Colin Creevey, and Anthony Goldstein and from the Order, Elphias Doge and Sturgis Podmore. They still were fighting Death Eaters while Harry was dueling Voldemort. Advanced spells shot past each of them, and Harry looked over to the rest of the battle, and spotted Ginny, fighting Bellatrix. Bella raised her wand, and without knowing what Harry was doing he jumped away from his own duel and he could hear Bella start to say the killing curse.
"Ginny! Look out!" Harry said, he jumped and pushed her down to the ground before the green light hit her, saving her.
"Thanks," Ginny said.
Without another word Harry quickly jumped back to his own duel before Voldemort could realize what was happening and before Bella could get to him and ran back to where Voldemort was.
"Realize this Voldemort! If I die today I'm taking as many Death Eaters with me and you!" Harry shouted at him.
"You will never defeat me, silly boy," he spat. More jets of lights shot through the air. Everything went silent and all that Harry could hear was his own breathing. Both his and Voldemort's wands were raised and at the same moment both of them shouted a curse.
"AMOR LAURUS!" Harry shouted and a jolt of pink light shot from the tip of his wand. It surrounded Voldemort in a pink bubble and it started to close in. Voldemort tried to break free of the bubble but every time he touched the side of the bubble it would burn his hand. Finally the bubble closed fully around him and he was shouting in pain and at last it dissolved into him and he fell to the ground. Harry pointed his wand at each him and he said his finishing spell.
"Animas Letum," Harry said and Voldemort glowed a light blue and exploded with an atomic force that it knocked Harry out. Harry was still aware of his surroundings but he was paralyzed. There was massive cheering.
"Harry!" he heard Ginny yell, he could hear footsteps approaching. "Harry, can you hear me? Are you alright?" there was fright, exhaustion and it sounded she was greatly weakened by spells. Harry struggled to say he was fine or something to let her know he was still alive.
"Harry, please don't be dead, no, no, you can't be dead," something wet fell on his face, he was sure it was Ginny's tears. "Please, don't be dead, let him live, let him live through this," More tears fell upon Harry's face and arms surrounded him and some skin and hair touched his face.
"Ginny! Is Harry ok?" Hermione asked.
"I-I think h-he just needs some healers," Ginny stuttered. Footsteps ran to go get Healers and Ginny's lips touched Harry's and she whispered in his ear, "I love you, beyond anything in the world, nothing's going to change that, I love you."
Harry wouldn't forget what Ginny said till the day he died, he smiled at Ginny, remembering that fateful day though happiness filled him for the rest of what he could remember that day, because he knew Ginny Weasley still loved him.

I had to rewrite the 'flashback' a few times but I think I'm happy with this version. :D
