It had been two days since I sent the letter to my parents and I was starting to get worried, through out that time I had conjured up more theories than I could count on my fingers and each of them resulted in me wanting to just sit down and cry or, me running to pack my suitcase, convinced that my parents were going to try bring me back from Hogwarts, and make me do my OWLS from home.

Hermione had been brilliant, and if it wasn't for her I'd seriously be considering just trying to run away from Hogwarts [as impossible as that may seem] but then if it wasn't for her, I wouldn't be feeling like this, and if it wasn't for her, I'd still be tensing up everything she touched me, rather then melting into her touch. Every time like I felt it was too much for me, she would do something like, brush a lock of hair out of my face and kiss me on the forehead, or hug me from behind and whisper how much she loved me, and I would remember why I was doing this.

And it was as we were sitting in the common room in each others arms as we watched the remains of the fire burning out when we heard a knock knock on the window of the common room. Since we were the only people left in the common room [which was now more often the case then not] I got up to go check who it was for. It was dark but I recognised the limp flustered owl immediately, and let Errol in. my heart pounded as I saw my name written on the front of the scroll in mum's handwriting and I didn't dare open it until I was safely sat down next to Hermione.

My fingers shook as I slid the letter out of the envelope, and I began to read the letter out loud in a whisper.

Dear Ginny,

Me and your father are really happy that you decided to tell us, from the sounds of your letter it sounds as if you were scared, but don't worry love you know we'll accept you no matter what you chose to do in life, in fact your father has had suspicions for a while now, but he didn't want to say anything just in case he was wrong, he wants me to tell you that he fully supports you, and he loves you. And we want Hermione to know that we couldn't be happier that you chose her to be with, we know she'll look after you.

It's a bit lonely over here now all of you decided that you wanted to say at Hogwarts for Christmas, but me and your father hope that you all have a wonderful time, and we'll try visit for the Christmas feast. But it's been busy for your father at works so we're not too sure about that.

Hope you all have a wonderful Christmas; tell you brothers we love them

Love mum and dad

Once I had finished reading it felt as if a weight had been lifted of my shoulders, and I almost physically felt better than I had done in the last two days, I lent back into Hermione's embraced and closed my eyes, contents at the fact that she loved me, and my parents still loved me. I don't think anything could have made that moment more perfect.

"Gin, I love you so much," she whispered into my ear, and I realised that, that was the only thing that could have possibly made the moment even more special

HG/GW-HG/GW

It was the morning after I had got the letter from my parents and I woke up in Hermione's arms, I could felt the soft rise and fall of her chest telling me that she was still asleep, and considering that in the holidays no one woke up before 12 o clock, it wasn't unusual that we were the only ones in the common room, still I'd rather people found out about us, through me telling them, than because they had walked into the common room to see me sleeping her arms.

So I slowly slipped out of her embrace making sure not to wake her, and slipped upstairs to have a shower before anyone else woke, up.

After 20 minutes under a hot jet of water, I walked out feeling even less stressed [if that was even possible] and well scrubbed up.

I walked down to find Hermione had gone, and figured that she was probably in the sixth year dorms getting ready so I settled into my favourite arm chair by the fire and decided to wait for her so we could go down and get some breakfast. Whilst sitting there it occurred to me that Christmas was coming up and I hadn't even thought of what to get her, in light of recent events, I mean I couldn't get her another necklace after what I had already got her, but I wanted it to be special, not just something I would have got her before all of this.

The next Hogsmeade trip I would definitely have to do some serious shopping

Okay guys so this is chapter 7 (: I know it took me like half a year to post, but in all truthfulness I had completely forgotten about this story until someone added it to their alerts list, if people still want to read it I would really like to carry it on, so give me reviews and tell me what you think?
