'You're lying.'
'No I'm not, Ginny.'
'You're not in love with someone else, and definitely not in love with Malfoy. There's no way that is true.'
'So you would accept it if it were someone apart from Draco?'
'Dra – since when have you called him by his first name? You hate him!'
'No I don't. That's what I've been trying to tell you. I'm in love with him. I've been dating him for the better part of the year. We're over Ginny. O-V-E-R. Ron's accepted it, Hermione's accepted it. Your family, the wizarding public, everyone but you has accepted it. We are never getting back together Ginny. Even without Draco, I'm gay. You just don't have the parts needed to interest me.'
'No. NO! We belong to each other Harry! We're meant for each other! Soul-mates. Why can't you see it?'
'It's you who doesn't get it, Ginny. If soul-mates existed, mine would be Draco. But as it were, you have to understand one thing about people. We belong to nobody, and nobody belongs to us. We don't even belong to one another. The reason Draco and I fit so well together is because we don't believe in belonging to one another. We believe in falling in love and working to stay in love. Simply saying we belong doesn't make it all okay. Effort is needed in a relationship – which is something you never understood.'
'You don't mean that, Harry. You can't mean that! I love you!'
'But I don't love you. You need to get over me – you can't live your life like this, pining for someone you'll never have. You need to move on Ginny. This has gone one long enough. For Merlin's sake, it's been seven years since we broke up! Five since I started seeing Draco! I agreed to talk to you because everyone's worried about you, but that's all I can do. You need to make the attempt yourself, I can't help you with it.'
'Harry –'
'The marriage invitation go out tomorrow, Ginny. I'm marrying Draco, regardless of what you believe. I hope – I hope by the time the actual wedding comes around, you'll be over this. Over me.'
