A/N: Here's another chapter for you guys! Please keep reviewing! I'm also playing with a new story idea that will be Hermione/Harry but I won't start until the end of this one. This chapter will pick up exactly as the last one left off. Hope you enjoy this new chapter!
"I think the more important question Harry…is why is that yours?"
Harry sighed and looked away. He caught sight of himself in a reflective surface and he saw his tear stained face. He was mortified and wiped away the tears as quickly as possible.
Ginny grabbed his hands, "It's okay to cry in front of me Harry. It's happened before and I don't mind it, you know that."
He nodded and tried to look anywhere but her chocolate eyes, but she grabbed his chin and forced him to look at her, "Answer my question Harry."
He sighed once more and looked at her, "I know this won't change anything and as much as I want it to it won't. And I want you to move on and be happy. If that's with Dennis, then I am happy for you. He is a good bloke and he'll make you happy. But you should know that I've been thinking a lot the past few weeks I've been home and I knew it all along but I still love you and the reason Theresa and I aren't together anymore is because I told her that part of me wished that the Prophet's story was partly true. That we were shopping for our son's first year school supplies. And you were buying that black dress for me…"
She stopped him there, "Harry…I don't know what to say. And I've been waiting to hear that for so long, but I'm not sure if that's the best thing for me or for you. Maybe you should try to patch things up with Terri or find a new girl. I'm sure plenty still want their piece of the Boy –who-lived," she shuddered but held his gaze. He looked as if he wanted to say something but stopped when there was a loud crack outside signifying that they had a new guest.
The two of them walked outside to see who it was and Harry inwardly groaned, "Terri?"
"Oh Harry!" she ran to him and tried to hug him but he stepped backwards. Ginny smirked slightly at that but didn't say anything. Terri sighed, "Okay, so I deserve that."
"What are you doing here, Terri? It seemed pretty clear what you believed."
"And you made it clear what you wanted," she snapped back and glared at Ginny. Her features softened again, "I don't want to do this Harry. I don't want to fight. But I wanted to apologize. In my anger I forgot that Tonks was a metamorphagus and that it was passed on to Teddy and that is my fault. And I know what you said about Ginny but I think it was out of anger as well. Can't we just move on from it darling? Get back to where we were?"
Harry looked at her and snuck a glance to Ginny, she had tears in her eyes and his heart broke once again. He turned back to Terri, "I don't think so Terri. What I said wasn't out of anger. And since you left for your Dad's funeral I had a lot of time to think. I don't want to marry you or have kids with you or anything of the sort. If Ginny were to give me a third chance I would do all those things with her in a second," he heard a sob come from Ginny, "And because of that I know you aren't the one for me."
Terri looked scandalized but as another loud crack announced another visitor, they turned to see Dennis walking towards Ginny and hugging her close. Then Terri's changed to a terrible grin, "Well, now you've lost me and it looks like you've lost her as well since she just kissed him. Enjoy your loneliness Harry." And with that she turned on the spot. Harry turned around and saw Dennis and Ginny holding each other.
Ginny looked at him, "I told you I wasn't sure Harry…I'm sorry."
He nodded his head and apparated quickly. Leaving Ginny and Dennis alone in the Burrow's yard.
Dennis looked down to Ginny, "Did you really pick me over Harry, Gin?"
She looked up into his hazel eyes, "I'm not sure. Harry brings many conflicted feelings into me. But I want to give us a try."
He smiled down at her, "I can deal with that."
Ron looked at his best mate and sighed, "Harry, do you want Ginny?"
Harry looked up at him with determination, "Of course."
"Well, I think it's time you kicked it into high gear."
"He's right you know," came a voice from the fire.
Harry jumped, "Uncle Ackerley!"
He smiled at his young nephew, "Harry my boy! I know this is a surprise but I received your letter a few days ago about Terri and Ginny. And I wanted to apologize. All those years ago I was in a sore spot as you knew and I gave you the wrong advice. And I think I tore your last ten years away from you. And for that I am sorry. And I want to make up for it, if you'll let me. We must come up with a plan for you to get the girl of your dreams. Are you ready?"
Harry smiled at his best mate and uncle, "I was born ready."
And together the three of them came up with a plan to finally get the girl.
A/N2: Okay, we're getting towards the end. There will only be one or two more chapters. Again, sorry this was short but the next one or two will be long with the plan. I hope you enjoyed. Please review!
