A/N: Don't kill me! I know I'm so late with this chapter! I've been Procrastinating a lot about it, especially since my computer wiped all of my documents.. including a half-finished chapter and my previous ones! Since then I didn't feel like writing, but anyway! I'm back and this is the final chapter!

I just want to say, thank you all! When I first started this half-assed story, I gave up after two chapters, I came back to find that people followed it and I suddenly had a muse of ideas! I only have you guys to thank for making me get off my arse! :D

~~~~Ginny's P.O.V~~~~

I couldn't believe it, I kept repeating in my head as I looked down to Hermione's sleeping form. We were currently cuddling on her bed.

Hermione Granger's bed.

I still couldn't believe it.

After the episode in the library, me and Hermione became a 'thing.' No one knew about this development, I wouldn't care if people knew, but Hermione was just getting to grips with her feelings. And me? Well, I'm just ecstatic that Hermione is my girlfriend. We spent the morning and even noon cuddling in her bed with the curtains draped around it, sometimes kissing and snogging heavily.

My cheeks blush at the thought.

Hermione shifts under my arms, mumbling something I couldn't understand. After a minute, her tired brown eyes opened to look at me. My mouth automatically lifting, I seriously couldn't stop smiling.

"What time is it?" She asks sleepily, sitting up and stretching her arms.

"Uh... ten past four... I think," I answer, cheeks still flushed. Even as my girlfriend, Hermione made me blush. "Almost time to go down to the Great Hall."

"Thanks..." Hermione nods, but a sudden worried expression appears on her face as she jumps off the bed to her trunk.

"Uhm... what's the matter?" I ask, slightly concerned, Hermione just waves it off.

"I forgot to do my charms essay! I'm so behind my work schedule!" Hermione explained, her voice shaky.

"Wait... what?" I say, trying to hold in my laughter. "Your getting worked up over not doing homework?"

Well, I'm glad Hermione is still Hermione though.

When me and Hermione finally set off to the Great Hall, I notice unusual stares and whispers from students as we pass them, I don't think too much of it until a Slytherin making smooching noises towards us. I feel more light-headed as we walk further down the stairs.

They couldn't know... could they?

I didn't tell anybody, nor did Hermione. Harry guessed but he would never gossip...

Glancing at Hermione, I notice she is shakier than usual and paler.

"They couldn't know," Hermione whispers, her eyes darting to the sniggering students. "They just can't know."

Suddenly I feel defensive. "Is there anything wrong with them knowing...are you embarrassed of being with me?"

"No, of course not!"

Before we could fight any more, we enter the Great Hall, the usual noise dies down straight away. Everyone staring at us, like we were about to explode or something.

"Lets just sit down." I whisper, walking towards our usual spot on the Gryffindor table. When we are finally seated, the noise begins again.

I grab a plate of something and begin to eat the food, glancing once or twice at Hermione, who was nervously picking her food. After an awkward silence, a nervous looking Gryffindor approaches us.

"So, is it true?" The boy says, looking back at a group further down the table who obviously sent the messenger. "That you two.. are... y'know.."

I raise a brow, preparing to raise hell.

"Even if they were, whats it to you?" Harry appears, looking quite menacing, causing the prying idiot to squeak and run back to his friend. Turning to us, his face falls into a sympathetic expression.

"I guess you've worked out that everyone knows," Harry sighs, plopping down next to us.

"Well, duh." I mutter, glancing in concern to Hermione, who was messing with her food, head down.

The three of us eat quietly, trying to ignore the blatant stares and whispers throughout dinner. I notice that Hermione is unresponsive when I talk to her, paling when somebody points. When we finally finish and head outside the hall, I let out a breath I didn't know I held in.

Muttering a 'bye' to Harry, I lead Hermione to an empty classroom, turning to her angrily.

"What is up with you?" I ask, emotion slipping into my voice. Hermione sighs in reply and sits on a table before replying.

"I just... feel so confused..." She nearly sobs, hearing the sadness in her voice, the anger in me disappears. I quickly sit next to her, holding her as she breaks down in tears.

"What's making you confused?" I ask after a brief silence.

"Everything." Was her answer.

We sit in silence, Hermione sending me guilty looks while I look to my feet. I feel Hermione's soft hand slip into mine.

"I'm sorry..." She begins, squeezing my hand in comfort. "I know I shouldn't be embarrassed... it's not like being homosexual in the Wizarding World is bad... it just..."

Hermione sighs heavily, I begin to realize what she's saying.

"Are... are you scared of what your family might think?" I ask, getting a nod in response. Hermione directing her big, brown eyes to me.

Suddenly, I am filled with a sense of determination.

"Hermione," I say, turning to her. "No matter what your parents think... whether they are supportive or not, I will always be here, so will Harry, my Family and Hogwarts... you wont and should never feel like your nothing because of what your parents might think. I love you so much-oomph!"

Before I could continue on how beautiful Hermione is, the brown-eyed beauty threw herself to me, smashing her soft pink lips against mine. We begin to snog heavily and soon enough we are running out of breath. I pull back to smile at my teary girlfriend.

"Well," I snigger. "If it is that easy to turn you on, I better protect you more from now on."

"Shut it," Hermione snorts, punching my shoulder playfully. "You know you love it."

From then on. I knew, whatever would happen to us, we would still be together.

No matter what.

~~Hermione's P.O.V~~

The staring continued, but I found it didn't affect me as much before Ginny talked sense into me. The evening dragged on and I found myself getting ready for bed. I notice with annoyance that some of the girls are choosing to dress in another room.

Turning around, I come face to face with somebody who shouldn't be here.

"Hey Granger," Lavender-fucking-Brown giggles maliciously, eyes glaring at me with a knowing look.

"What are doing here?" I snarl, already guessing why Lavender was here. "You went home for the holidays!"

"Did I?" Lavender asks, putting on an innocent expression. "I guess I changed my mind."

I glare at Lavender so hard if looks could kill Lavender would be dead by now. Grinding my teeth, I turn away to stop myself from punching that no-good face.

"Did you hear," Lavender says, with a knowing smile. "Everybody knows about your ginger fanny fetish."

That was it.

I scream out in anger and charge at Lavender, ready to release hell. I grab the bitches hair pulling as hard as I could while getting my wand out to hex her to oblivion. A few of our dorm mates came back into the room only to run out to avoid the upcoming battle.

Somehow, Lavender manages out of my hold and punches me, while it wasn't a necessarily hard punch, it was enough to dizzy me, in my moment of weakness, Lavender fires a stinging hex towards me. I wince, the stinging hex getting me in my stomach.

Before any of us could do more damage, Ginny bursts into the room, not even glancing at Lavender as she ran to me, embracing me.

"It's alright!" Ginny soothingly says. "I know she pisses you off, but she doesn't matter... nor does her opinion."

I instantly feel calmness wash over me as Ginny hugged me. I half-heartedly glare as Lavender as Ginny let's go.

"Ew," Lavender sneers, a look of pure disgust. "You two are sick."

Ginny rolls her eyes at Lavender. "I don't give two shits Lavender, you can think all you want but your opinion isn't going to stop me from snogging my girlfriend."

Instead of a biting insult back, Lavender just glares at us two before leaving the Dormitory. I feel a blush creep on my cheeks and Ginny turns back to me with a loving expression on her face.

"You okay?" Ginny asks me, I nod silently.

Sitting down on my bed, I sigh. The day had been hectic but I feel calm, happy even. I didn't have to hide any feelings, crushes or anything. I could be public about my new relationship, that thought alone made me feel happier.

After a brief moment, Ginny sinks into my bed, lying next to me. I reach out my hand and grasp hers, wanting to have contact with her. Our fingers entwine, fitting perfectly together.

"You don't have to worry," I say, after a while. "I'm not embarrassed... we can be as public as you like."

"I will be as public as you like," Ginny smiles, squeezing my hand. "It doesn't matter as long as we're together."

I smile back, leaning forward to kiss Ginny on her pink lips. When we finally part from each other's lips, I yawn.

"Time to sleep, I think." Ginny teases, sitting up.

"Yeah..." I mutter, suddenly not wanting Ginny to leave.

Sensing the disappointment in my voice, Ginny kisses me again before standing up.

"Don't worry," She says. "I'll see you tomorrow, goodnight."

"Goodnight." I wave as she leaves the Dormitory to her own. I sigh happily as I bring the red, warm duvet over my body. I turn to my side, already feeling sleep creep up and take me.

I fall asleep smiling.

I wake up groggily, checking the time to see it's 7:15am. I stand up and quickly change into casual clothes. I half-glare at Lavender's sleeping form before leaving the dormitory.

As I walk down the steps to the Common Room, I see Ginny sitting in a plush chair reading a Quidditch magazine. I smile to myself, the sight bringing me happiness.

"Good morning," I greet her, sitting on her chair's arm rest. "Want to go the Great Hall?"

Ginny smiles at my greeting before jumping up happily.

"Of course!" She says. "I've been waiting for you so we could get some breakfast together, I'm starving!"

I lead the way and soon enough we are walking towards the Great Hall, looking down to Ginny's hands, I feel brave enough to grasp her left one in my right. I smile at her shocked expression.

We enter the hall and reach the Gryffindor table, ignoring some of the stares, we find Harry and sit next to him.

"Good morning," Harry greets us, smiling as he noticed our entwined hands. "Hope it wasn't too much of rough day yesterday?"

"I guess so," I shrug. "It doesn't bother me any more though."

"Good," Harry smiles, before tucking into his breakfast.

The morning goes by slowly and the Hall fills with Students who decided to sleep in. I notice with annoyance that Ron comes in with Lavender hanging off his arm.

It wasn't the fact that Ron was with someone that still annoyed me, it was the fact it was somebody my friend shouldn't be going out with.

Luckily, Lavender and Ron didn't sit next to us. Although Ron looked like he wanted to.

After a minute or so, Ginny was going to whisper something in my ear and Lavender shrieked.

"Ew! Don't you two even dare do that disgusting thing!"

A silence spread over the Gryffindor table, surprisingly, Patil Parvati glares at Lavender.

"Their allowed to do anything they want, Lavender. " Parvati sneers at Lavender. Which was surprising, as Parvati is Lavender's best friend. "Your such a homophobe."

Lavender seemed shocked, but she quickly turned her face back into the sneering expression she seemed to hold all the time.

"Never thought you was a lesbian, Parvati." Lavender angrily insults her.

Parvati only rolls her eyes in response. As if the insult didn't even affect her, it probably didn't.

"Hey, just because we have an open mind doesn't mean we're gay. " Dean Thomas speaks up, surprising me further.

"Yeah," Neville says and even Seamus nods.

Suddenly the table of Gryffindor's turn on Lavender. All saying different things, all defending me and Ginny.

I feel slightly teary at the fact this many people are defending us. Lavender looks so shocked it's comical.

Lavender by now is slightly teary, she suddenly turns on Ron.

"Defend me!" She nearly screams. "I'm your girlfriend!"

Ron looked very shocked and cornered, I was actually worried about his reaction to our relationship.

"Are you?" He asks quietly. "Last time I checked, I don't go out with people who hurt my friends and family."

The table went silent, Lavender gaping and spluttering.

"B-but..." She begins, only to stop by Ron sending her a glare.

Bursting into tears, Lavender runs from the Hall, off to god's no where.

I felt quite overwhelmed by my fellow Gryffindor's. The fact they accept me and Ginny's new relationship, I look to my girlfriend and find her smiling. Her gaze turns to mine and we both grin happily.

After the drama of Lavender Brown, Ron moves to sit next to us, looking apologetic.

"Sorry about that," He sighs. "I glad I finally broke up with her, she was always so..."

"Bitchy?" Ginny says, smirking.

"...Yeah," Ron manages to smile. "And... at first when I found out about you guys... I was really shocked and stuff, I feel kinda bad about that."

"Don't worry about it," I reassure my bestfriend. "The fact you found out your sister was gay and dating your female bestfriend... that can be shocking."

"Well," Harry smirks. "You can't complain about you sister going out with somebody, not like the last few times."

The four of us laugh, before continuing with our breakfasts. As we finish, we get up to go outside to relax. I grasp Ginny's hand, not caring if anybody saw.

I was proud of our relationship, I wanted the world to see.

The Golden Trio was reunited and life felt great.

No matter what life threw at me, Deatheaters, Exams, Drama... I knew I could get through it all if I had Ginny Weasley by my side. I would be ready to take on the world.
