"He's alive!" Screamed Ron, who had reached Harry first, and was now bending over him, not caring if he was sobbing freely. His best friend was alive. He survived the killing curse again. "Hermione get over here!" He yelled across the graveyard, breaking the eery silence.

Hermione, who was nearing the end of her training as a Healer, rushed over, leaving Ginny now crying out of relief. "Oh my gosh..." Whispered Hermione as she knelt next to Harry. The grass was covered in blood, rocks from a broken gravestone lay over him, which were now frantically getting moved by the Weasleys. "It looks like he dodged the spell... just." Whispered Hermione pointing to a blackened mark at the broken base of the gravestone. "But obviously the gravestone must of exploded... where is the blood coming from?" Asked Hermione frantically.

She examined Harry's head, and like she thought, there was a gash at the back where a hunk of stone was still wedged in. "He's not out of danger yet... hurry! We need to get him to St. Mungo's!"

The next few hours was a blur to Ginny who had blundered over and collapsed next to Harry, sticking at his side, not taking her eyes of his living, breathing face, it was the happiest sight she ever saw.

Mr Weasley and the others who were injured, except Ron and Hermione who also refused to leave Harry, went straight back to Grimmauld Place to get fixed up and update Mrs Weasley before going to St. Mungo's as it would have been a bit suspicious if nearly the whole order turned up injured, people would start asking questions, and with Lord Secutus still out there, the people couldn't panic.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

The last thing he could remember was a flash of green, an explosion behind him, and then darkness. Now he lay on his back, his eyelids heavy, not wanting to open. He could feel soft sheets, and he knew he didn't have his glasses on. He must be in hospital, the battle must be open.

His eyelids shot open, begging for information, was Ron and Hermione alright? What about the Weasleys? Ginny, dear, beautiful Ginny? He searched for his glasses and finding them on his bedside table shoved them on his face, and sighed a deep sigh of relief.

Ginny was sleeping soundly in a chair next to him, her head resting on her arms on his bed. Ron and Hermione were sleeping next to each other, Hermione's head resting on Ron's shoulder, Ron's head on her head. Harry almost chuckled, amazed at how fast those two would have an argument, make up and have another argument.

But where were the others? Panicking he shook Ginny awake. "Gin, Ginny, where are th..." But he was cut off by a shrill scream of delight.

"Oh Harry you're okay! Harry I..." Ginny laughed, waking Ron and Hermione. But Harry shushed her.

"Ginny is everyone fine?" He asked urgently, he smiled relieved when Ginny just laughed.

"Bill has a broken arm, but that is the most serious... Harry I thought you were dead!" Ginny whispered, unshed tears shimmering in her eyes. As if that was their cue, Hermione and Ron shuffled out of the room, muttering something about finding the others.

There was a moments silence, until Harry sat up, and opened his arm to Ginny. At once Ginny was hugging and crying in to Harry. "Shh Gin, it's alright, I'm alright..." Ginny desperately trying to compose herself, shuffled round so she was lying next to Harry on the bed with his arm around her shoulder.

"Harry I was so scared, I couldn't ima..." Whispered Ginny.

"Gin, it's alr..." Harry began.

"No Harry, let me finish, alright?" Harry nodded curiously as Ginny continued, "I love you Harry with all my heart, and I was so scared when I thought I lost you... forever, and that made me realise I want to love you forever..." She held up her left hand, there, on her ring finger, was a simple golden band with an ornate diamond, with glittering lights inside.

She smiled up at him. "Will you marry me?"

Evangeline Hermione - Yup, Harry didn't die! I was planning to wait to post so the suspense would build up, but I'm nice, and I couldn't wait to post, and I'm glad I did now, otherwise I woulsn't have been able to post until now and I wouldn't have recieved all these lovely comments!

Hufflepuffyness - Your wish is my command! Some serious PAMing coming up!


Prongs999 - Woah! Don't worry I haven't left! I'm touched at how much my story actually touched you, and I'll be posting more soon, promise.

Moonchic07 - Okay, deep breaths. Okay sorry. Glad you like it! Really am, and little infomation I got Lord Secutus based on Latin. Secuutus means 'Follower' and I thought it sounded cool as Lord Secutus is Following in Voldemort's footsteps, and there is something else behind it but that's a secret

Little Trooper - You are a little trooper aren't you? Okay sorrym, I just love that name, and with you pitching a tent and everything... Okay moving on. Thank you so much, I'm happy that my story has really touched people so far, wait until someone isn't as lucky as Harry... *Shifty eyes and clears throat.*

Ginnie Weasley - Don't know why but your post made me laugh. Thank you for the fab comment, and I'll be happy to call you Yvonne.

Within two hours it felt like the whole Wizarding Community knew that Harry and Ginny were getting married, and his hospital room kept getting bombarding with well-wishers, owls, letters and parcels, until the Head-Healer of that floor got fed up and put a charm on so only the Weasleys and Hermione could get in, although some persistent letters found their way in by magically flying underneath the door and shooting out the other end.

"Gin?" Whispered Harry, she was asleep again, exhausted from battling the up-rising Dark Lord, but even more so from the screeching Hermione who insisted on throwing her a Bridal Shower, of course Ginny asked Hermione to be Bridesmaid of Honour at which she squealed again and ran out the room to tell the world, a clever tactic, Harry thought at the time and chuckled to himself.

"Wassamatta?" Ginny jerked out of her sleep, she alertly looked around the room, which was empty, and seeing Harry smirking relaxed and punched him playfully. "What?"

"We need to move." Harry said firmly, he could tell that Ginny was caught off guard with this comment and struggled to answer.

"I know there isn't much space in our apartment, and when we have kids we'll need a bigger house but, we don't..." She began slowly, but Harry shook his head, a frown on his face.

"No, I mean, I know we would have needed to move, but that isn't it. Lord Secutus will find out where we live, if he hasn't already, I'm actually surprised he didn't just come to the appartment..." But it was Ginny's turn to shake her head.

"He thinks you're dead, no problem." Ginny shrugged, not realising that it would be easy for Lord Secutus to find out he was alive.

"Gin, I really don't think Lord Secutus will not realise I'm alive, especially after your mum has Flooed everyone in the Community to tell them we're getting married." Harry said a little bit too impatient, he smiled sadly. "Sorry Gin, I didn't mean it like that, just it would be hard fo.."

"It's okay Harry, no problem." Ginny smiled to herself. "Well big problem, but we have seen bigger, haven't we?"

Harry grinned, taking his future-wife in his arms, his chin resting on her head. "So where do you want to live?" Ginny whispered from his chest.

He knew his answer straight away, he knew the answer from the day he visited his parents grave, from the day he saw them in the mirror.

"Godric's Hollow."


Okay, so not the best of posts, but I've got a rusty mind after all haven't I? I always try to tweak it when I post on the computer but I don't think I've done very well today, oh well, happy reading!

*Takes a deep breath and let it out* Yup I feel better now, lol. That is a great idea to do, I would've never thought of that, I congradulate you, lol. Wait, secret, Khristina loves secrets, well, only the secrets she knows anyway, okay, I'm done speaking in the third person, lol.

YAY, they are getting married, *hugs them both* and the whole wizarding community knows, hmm, wonder how Lord Secutus feels about this, oh noo, I think I know what might happen later in the story *hopes she's wrong* but I won't say what, one because I don't want to ruin it for anyone and two because I'm not sure if it'll actually happen, anyway...I knew he would say Godric's Hollow, I just knew it. I always pictured Harry and Ginny living there once they got married and started making babies, lol. Okay, now I'm done, can't wait for more, PAMS!

Oh and I hope you're okay, falling down stairs isn't fun at all, this person should know from previous experiences.

yup!neville too!!!and the chapter was awesome!!

Oh your the best. Im nearly crying here. I loved the post and i don't care if you think its not good. It was the best.

Hope you write more soon.

Evangeline

Okay, I've got a serious mental block issue. Maybe it's the unlucky 13 coming to haunt me. Ooooo.

And I was going to include Neville but, poor guy, I kinda forgot about him. Anyways thanks for the gentle reminder, which also reminded me, I've had a brief mention of Victoire, but where is Teddy?! I promise I'll get Neville and Teddy in, maybe Luna, and a suprise visit in the next post or two... if I can actually think!!

Okay, here I go, hopefully I'll get an inspiration and just right pure magic! Yeah I know, never going to happen, but I can try!!

It seemed like magic. Well of course it was magic, but it seemed like a marvellous dream. In less than a month Harry and Ginny were carrying cardboard boxes ladened with their possession in to their new home, Harry's old home, the home Harry lived in for a year before his family was blown apart. But here he was again, ready to start his own family. Or at least he would be in four months, when he and Ginny were to be married.

"Gin?" Harry shouted through from the entrance hall, Ginny's voice drifted back from the sitting room.

"What?" She sounded tired. Of course she was tired, Harry thought to himself, she had just spent all of that morning Apparting from here to the flat, to here and back to the flat, carrying huge boxes.

"Fireplace working?" Harry asked with a smirk, already knowing the answer. He heard her muttering something under her breath, before there was a thud, which Harry guessed was the box that Ginny was holding making contact with the floor, and then various clunks and bangs.

"Take that as a no." Harry smiled as he strolled in to the sitting room to find his fiancé on her knees, her head practically in the fireplace, fiddling with it, and occasionally giving it a good whack.

Ginny turned to face Harry and stuck out her tongue before muttering, Harry wasn't sure if she was talking to him or to herself. "Just needs cleaned out." She pulled out her wand, flicked it and a cloud of dust exploded in to the room. "I'll clean this up, while you sort out that." She just waved her arm carelessly above her, and seeing Harry's clueless expression she elaborated. "Some idiot put a cover on the chimney so if any of our guests are Flooing in there would get stuck, you can get up on the roof and get it off."

Harry sighed happily to himself, he just had a brief vision of married life. They had lived together for two years now, but it just seemed... different, this was the house he would spend the rest of his life in, and this beautiful woman was the woman he was going to spent it with.

"Yes darling." Harry said, pretending to sulk. He put his hands on Ginny's shoulders from behind and give her a kiss on the cheek, which was returned instantly by a peck from Ginny. If he truly was going to spend the rest of his life with Ginny, life would be good.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

A few hours later and the 'housewarming' was in session. Ron and Hermione were there, of course, along with Mr and Mrs Weasley, Bill with Fluer and Victoire, the Weasley twins were around making havoc, Andromeda had arrived with five year old Teddy, Luna had managed to Floo in using an African Native fireplace and some powder Ginny sent by owl and was currently floating around somewhere, and as it was Saturday, Neville had convinced Minerva McGonagall to let him leave Hogwarts, where he was the Herbology professor, to drop by for a visit, so in all, it was a very busy and noisy house.

For that evening all problems were forgotten, instead there was Firewhiskey, singing, dancing, occasionally explosives followed by Fred and George fleeing from the source.

Then there was a knock at the door.

Nobody except those who were already in the house and Kingsley, Charlie, and McGonagall knew that Harry and Ginny had moved in, and none of them could make it tonight, so who was knocking at the door? Maybe it was just a neighbour? After all Harry imagined they were making a lot of noise.

At once the party went quiet, everyone's gaze seemed to freeze on Harry, who had frozen to the spot. With caution, Harry drew his wand, which caused several other wands to suddenly come out of their pockets, and slowly approached the front door.

Once he was sure that everyone was ready behind him, he put his hand on the handle, another quick check, Mr Weasley had his wand over Harry's left shoulder, Ron's on his right. Everyone was ready, now he was just stalling.

With a quick jerk the door swung open, causing a blast of cool air to hit their faces, but a shadow blocked the moonlight, and as Harry's eyes adjusted, someone else's eyes shone right back in to his, taking him by complete shock.

Viktor Krum was standing on his doorstep.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Okay so I'm happy the way it turned out, maybe a little magic was used. Okay, okay... anyways... I'm still not sure on the ending, but I still like it, and there is a relavance for Krum being there, though there is some glitches with the plan, it's all good!

Oh, and about the Weasley twins, I know one of them died, and I have tried to stick to J.K.Rowlings ending as much as possible, but I couldn't bring myself to do that. Anyways... Bye y'all!
