Same Chapter, edited, I wanted to add some stuff, and spell some stuff that I messed up one.

"Hey Ginny" Called a deep voice from behind her.

Ginny was setting on the heart rug in the Gryffindor common room, trying to finish her potions essay. She stood there Indian style scratching away, when her attention was taken by an old friend.

"Hey Dean" Ginny said putting her things away. She stood up walking to Dean who was at the portrait hole.

"Haven't seen you around much" Said Dean with a smile.

"I've only been in the castle for about seven days and that is on and off" Ginny said with a faint laugh. Dean tilted his head confused. "I went home, to help my mum"

"Oh" Said Dean awkwardly. He put his hands in his pockets biting his bottom lip.

Ginny smiled, Dean was nervous around her, she wasn't sure why he still acted this way.

Dean sighed and Ginny looked around before he broke the silence.

"How's Harry?"

"He's fine, he wrote to me not long ago"

"That's nice"

"Yeah, so how's Alicia?" Ginny asked trying to change the subject.

"Heard the news have you?" Dean said with a faint laugh.

"What happened between you and Alicia is a complete secret- so naturally the entire school knows" Ginny said with a laugh, Harry had told her that once, of course about him and Voldemort. Harry told her that Dumbledore told him that in his first year after he had battled.

Dean chuckled. "Nothings happened, but she's a nice girl, I was really sad that we didn't get to know each other when she was still in Hogwarts"

Ginny nodded. "Well she was with my brother, remember?"

Dean nodded with a laugh. "I've heard stories, I remember"

The portrait hole swung open and it was Neville. Neville had his school bag on his shoulder and a grin on his face. As Neville walked forward Ginny saw one yappy looking Luna Lovegood waving, the portrait shut closed and Neville spoke.

"Dean, Ginny I should have to worry about you two should I?" Neville asked jokingly.

"Nah, I'm on the Spinnet ship mate" Dean said with a sly smile. Neville nodded with a wink.

"You two are, idiots" Laughed Ginny as she hit Neville playfully on the arm.

"Oh but I'm your fool" Said Neville audible. Dean chuckled before stating.

"I'm Alicia's" Everyone went silent before breaking with a new set of giggles.

"D-Dean Y-your too proud of that" Ginny managed.

"Spinnet's hot though" Input Neville. The laughter stopped abruptly.

"She is isn't she?" Dean questioned with a grin. "I'm a lucky Gryffindor"

"You're a corny Gryffindor" Laughed Ginny. Neville nodded in agreement.

Dean shrugged. "Well I'm off to bed, I'll see you around Gin" Dean waved as he made his way up the stairs leading to the boys' dormitory.

Ginny took a seat on the couch and Neville joined her, she wrapped an arm around his shoulders and he laughed.

"So, what was with the huge grin when you walked in?" Ginny asked Neville as he put his feet up on the table.

"One word" Replied Neville.

Ginny laughed. "Oh and what word is that?"

"Luna"

"Don't tell me you've shagged as well this month?"

Neville laughed hysterically. "No, I can't pressure Luna, but she did- well we-"

"Oh I don't think I want to know" Sighed Ginny.

"We've decided she should meet Grams" Neville finally burst.

"That's great, since you've met her dad" Ginny said hugging Neville.

"Only a few more steps till you ask her to marry you"

Neville nodded. "I'm worried though"

"Why's that?"

"Well" Neville stuttered. "I don't think she's going to say yes"

Ginny bit her bottom lip. "I'm sure she'll say yes"

"How do you know?"

"I don't but I know you two care for each other"

"She says we're too young to –you know- so what will she say about marriage?"

'You know- is everyone's hormones taking over their lives? There is a battle going on somewhere not far and all the can think about is –you know- UGH'

"I think that just because you two get engaged doesn't mean that you have to get married right away" Replied Ginny. "Tell her that, and that –you know- isn't important to you"

"But-"

"IT BETTER NOT BE NEVILLE LONBOTTOM"

"It's not!" Neville said timidly.

"It better not"

"It's not… It's not"

Ginny giggled, she was terrifying to herself sometimes. She stood up and began to make her way to the staircase. "I'm going to bed I'll see you tomorrow Mr. Longbottom"

"Yes, yes I'll see you bright and early Mrs. Potter" Ginny stopped in her tracks.

"What do you mean?" Ginny asked with a grin.

"The real question is how did you not tell me?" Neville said with a disappointed look. "I'm here for you and you don't tell me he asked you to marry him!"

Ginny sighed. "He didn't, not exactly"

"Huh?"

"Who told you and I'll explain"

"Alicia"

"How did she know?"

"Angelina"

"And her"

"Fred"

"Crap" spat Ginny.

Ginny had told George who of course told Fred. Ginny told George knowing he wouldn't be mad. George of course kept nothing from Fred, and neither did Ginny but in this situation she just needed advice.

"I'm not mad" Sighed Neville. "Just curious why you wouldn't tell me?"

Ginny shook her head. "It's not that I didn't want to tell you, I just well Harry and I didn't exactly get engaged"

"Care to explain?"

Ginny pulled the chain from within her shirt and out fell a ring, the ring Harry gave her.

"It's a promise ring" She sighed. "He said when/ or if he gets back he'll get me an engagement ring" Ginny walked back to the couch knowing this would be a while. "So we're not engaged technically"

Neville wrapped an arm around her. "So he's a tart" Sighed Neville.

"Nah" Said Ginny letting one tear glaze her cheek, Neville quickly wiped it.

"It's best this way, I mean while he's out there fighting, I shouldn't be the future Mrs. Potter"

Neville smiled. "You take everything to well"

Ginny shrugged. "I don't like drama queens" She chuckled.

Neville released her. "I have something to tell you"

This triggered Ginny's memory, but she would ask her question after Neville.

"I've spoken to me Grams, she said if you want next break, you can come to us"

Ginny hugged Neville. "Thanks for the offer, but I like going home"

Neville nodded. "Hey Neville"

"Yeah"

"What were you going to tell me at Breakfast?"

"Oh right, Lavender is still shaken up about what Pavarti did, I wouldn't talk to her too much" Sighed Neville. Everyone didn't know how Mrs. Brown let Lavender return in such a shaken state. "We're just happy she made it through"

Ginny nodded. "I'm surprised she came back"

"Aren't we all…?"

"Okay, well good night Nev " Ginny said as she kissed Neville's forehead.

"Night Gin"

Ginny made her way to her dormitory, as she stepped inside she saw everyone was still asleep. Ginny undressed and re-dressed in her silky pink pajamas with yellow pinwheels.

She jumped in her four poster bed and sunk into the sheets as her eyes closed.

'Never Better, Never worse' Thought Ginny.

Never better never worse, I love that saying.
okay so that's it.
