The next day came just as fast, with the household hustling and bustling to get to the express on time.

Ginny levitated her trunk down the stairs as she patted her curly hair. She wore a deep blue oversized sweater that looked cute on her and her pair of silver skinny jeans with black uggs. She wore Blaise's present which she had now dubbed her lucky charm as well.

Deciding to forego breakfast, as they were really late now, they quickly flooed instead, to the express.

When they got there, lots of people were around. She saw Neville saying goodbye to his grandmother and Hannah Abbot a few feet away, waiting for him. Ginny chuckled. Overprotective little thing!

Not catching sight of Luna around, or even Blaise, she decided they were already on the train. Right now though, she had to deal with an emotional mother.

"Really mum! It's just a train ride!"

Ron mumbled as she hugged him and moved to the other trio members.

"Its not just a train ride! This is your last ride to Hogwarts! The next and final one is when you're leaving the school finally! My last children!"

She said as she moved to Ginny and held her in a bear hug. Ginny smiled. It was true actually, this was her last journey to Hogwarts if all went well. She smiled as she looked around, people laughing, crying, parents looking fondly at the express. They really did miss their time at Hogwarts didn't they?

Ginny decided then and there that even if she had NEWTs to read for, she would make sure her last term was something to remember.

The Hogwarts Express honked loudly finally for every student to enter and Ginny quickly grabbed her trunk towards the express as the trio entered first.

Just then, she saw Blaise walking towards her. He was dressed quite casually but covered because of London's weather. He smirked when he saw her and she jiggled on the inside.

"Hey you…"

She smiled when she saw him.

"Hello little Weasley"

She glared at him and folded her arms.

"Really?! You're still calling me that blasted name?!"

He raised an eyebrow.

"yes ."

She scoffed. Then the express lit up to begin it's journey. A plan came into Ginny's mind.

She saw her parents still waving the golden trio who were nearby and pounced on Blaise, giving him a most heating kiss, surprising him but he quickly wrapped his arms around her, reciprocating.

This made a lot of students stop and stare, the golden trio had their mouth wide open and her parents, her mother looked scandalized and surprised while her father seemed to have expected it as he sighed.

When she pulled back as the Hogwarts Express began to move, she waved her parents goodbye and she could hear her mother shout out her full name which made her laugh out.

Blaise looked at her amused.

"You are a diva"

Ginny smiled an innocent but devious smile before she shrugged.

"Hey, you're my boyfriend, I just needed people to know we're both taken."

"Possessive cheeky minx"

"I am not!"

She argued back as he helped her with her trunk and accompanied her to a compartment where they could have some quiet, probably where Draco and Luna were.

Meanwhile.

With the golden trio.

"Did my eyes deceive me or did I just see Ginny snug Blaise Zabini?"

Hermione mumbled, staring as the 'couple' left.

Ron's face twisted into anger.

"I'm going to kill that bastard!"

But before he could move, Hermione pushed him back as well as Harry.

"Don't you dare Ronald Weasley! We promised Ginny we wouldn't interfere in her life! So don't even start!"

Harry grudgingly nodded.

"True… And besides, she said not to interfere, she never said anything about spying in the shadows."

The two boys smirked at each other and Hermione's face twisted in confusion at Harry. Why encourage Ron in the first place?

Before she could voice out her question though, Cho Chang ran over to Harry and placed a kiss on his lips, snogging him and not letting go. Disgruntled, Hermione dragged a starry eyed Ron from the scene.

The journey to Hogwarts was without any drama thankfully, the 2 couples spent their time in relative peace. Daphne and Theo stopped by for some minutes to say hello and she noticed Daphne didn't really say anything to her.

She made some conversation with Luna but made it so no one could say she was ignoring Ginny.

Sitting down at the Gryffindor table next to Neville, she smiled.

"Oh, hi Neville! Good holiday?"

He beamed and Ginny thought he looked really relaxed. To be honest though, lots of people looked really relaxed and happier than the previous. Everyone was trying to move on from the war. It had left lots of scars and deaths, and so people were trying to move forward, make the magical community a much better place.

"It was great! I invited Hannah over for 2 days at Longbottom Manor. Some of my distant relatives also got in touch as well. I also added new things to my greenhouse at home. Things have started looking up honestly. My grandma got in touch with an herbology master for me to apprentice under once I'm out of school. How about you?"

Ginny shrugged smiling as everyone began to settle down.

"It was definitely relaxing! I had lots of fun, made new friends too"

"I'm not sure if you've heard, but there's a lot of rumors flying around about you specifically."

Ginny raised an eyebrow.

"Ow?"

"Yeah. There's one about you being in a relationship with Blaise Zabini, there's another one that you guys had a shotgun wedding because you're pregnant for him. Then another which Hannah told me about you blackmailing him to be with you"

Ginny's eyes narrowed as her eyes seeked Hannah Abbot out. This girl really had some problems with Neville being friends with other girls.

"Well, let me tell you the truth. Yes, we're dating, no we had no shotgun wedding, I only went to visit him in Rome that's all. I'm not pregnant and I definitely did not blackmail him into being with me!"

Neville chuckled and nodded.

"Got it! And congrats by the way. It seems a lot of people got together during the holidays"

"Really?"

"Yeah. Um Dean broke up with Su Li and is with Dora, poor girl is the guy's new prey. Seamus got together with Padma Patil and Susan started dating Oliver Woods."

Ginny's eyes bulged.

"What?!?!"

"Yeah, I know, shocker! Apparently they met at the Bones Christmas ball and hit it off. Her aunt doesn't really approve but it's her life. Speaking of, what does the trio think about you dating Blaise?"

She shrugged as her eyes sought out Blaise and found him staring at her. She blushed as he winked at her and she looked away.

"Well it's really not their business how they feel about it. Also, they just found out this morning during the train ride just like everyone else.

"Ooh! Harsh"

Just then, Professor Dumbledore stood up and everyone quietened down for him to talk.

"Welcome back students! To a new year! Ah! 1999, the year which promises to bring vitality back to the magical community of Britain. But with this year, we promise ourselves not to forget those who couldn't make it with us to this New Year. We will keep them with us in our hearts as we move forward to a better time. And now, as I welcome you all, I only have 2 words. Tuck in."

Dinner began and everyone began eating and chattering. Ginny ate her food as she basked in the relaxing noise festivity that was Hogwarts school. She smiled. She was back in her second home.
