The Weasley Household - 8:00 A.M. {Ginny's POV}
Ginny Weasley woke up to the sound of commotion. She already knew what all the fuss was about: Bill and Fleur's wedding was tonight. Her mum poked her head into Ginny's bedroom, with a prompt message:
''Get up. Quickly! We still have a lot of work to do, and the wedding is tonight.'' She didn't even give her a chance to respond, she walked away to tend to other matters.
Grumbling, Ginny Weasley got out of bed. She was going to put on the dress she was wearing for the wedding later: she might stain it if she worked in it. She walked down the winding stairs into the kitchen, but before she entered she did something she hadn't in a long time. Eavesdrop on her brother.
''But we have to get out now,'' Harry said urgently. ''The more we sit here, the stronger he gets. We should just go.''
''Harry, you know we can't. Mum would be pissed - and besides, before the wedding?''
''Who cares about a wedding? This is Voldemort we're talking about. It's not like we have all the time in the world.''
They were silent for a second, obviously thinking. Finally, Hermione spoke.
''Maybe we should just wait until right after the wedding to leave,'' She whispered. ''I could get everything ready: once it ends, we'll go.''
''Fine. We'll do that.'' Her brother nodded in agreement, and Hermione just looked down at the ground. She decided the best time to enter was then.
''Morning,'' She said breezily. If she weren't eavesdropping, she'd know they were hiding something anyway: Ron was blushing a shade of orange deeper than the famous Weasley ginger.
The trio said nothing. Harry was watching her intently, Ron couldn't even look at her, and Hermione.. was just staring at the ground. But, she knew why Harry had to leave: she just didn't like the idea of him leaving.
They had broken up for now, only because You-Know-Who was getting stronger by the day - and since Harry was ''The Chosen One'', he had to go stop him. But today was a day that could have some joy, as it was the wedding - but Ginny had a feeling that they only people that wouldn't be upset were Bill, Fleur, and Fleur's parents.
After finishing her breakfast, she went outside to do some last minute chores like her mother asked. She was just gardening, (something Ron was actually supposed to do but she was doing it anyway) when she felt a tap on her shoulder.
It was sunny out, so it took a minute for her eyes to adjust, but finally she recognized the figure. It was Harry. He sat down beside her, and started to talk.
''I know you probably don't want to hear this,'' Harry started. ''But-''
''If you're talking about leaving, I know. I heard you talking about it this morning.'' She didn't put much emotion into her words, because if she did she might not know how to react to herself.
Harry was silent for a moment. He just seemed to watch Ginny dig little holes in the dirt and plant seeds. She didn't say anything either.
''You know I don't want to go. I would stay here forever if I could.''
Ginny didn't want to say anything in response. She knew that he was right, that no matter what she wanted he had to leave. It wasn't her decision to make if he stayed or not.
''I know,'' She finally whispered.
After a while, she decided that she couldn't garden forever, so she stood up and brushed the dirt off of her hands. Harry stood up with her.
''But, we can spend as much time as we need together now.'' It took Harry a long time to respond, and when he said those words, Ginny looked up, startled. She didn't expect Harry to say that, but she was happy he did.
First they just went inside and talked at the table, not even anything special. But any time she got with Harry was very special to Ginny. Ron would walk by sometimes, looking moody, but she knew that he only felt this way because he was her brother. She didn't let it get to her.
Finally, it was late night, time for the wedding. Bill and Fleur looked stunning, but especially Fleur as her dress was gorgeous. After the vows were made, everyone sang and danced, and it was a good time for everyone except Ginny, Harry, Ron and Hermione.
They were leaving soon: she knew. And Harry wouldn't delay: he would want to get out of the Weasley household as soon as possible. She tried to look around and find Harry, but when she spotted him, he was in a deep conversation with Elphias Doge. She decided to wait until later to say goodbye.
But sometime else ruined her plans. At that very moment, a Patronus floated into the tent in the backyard and spoke with Kingsley's voice.
''The Ministry has fallen.. The Minister of Magic is dead.. We are coming.''
For a split second, nobody moved, or dared to even breathe. But after that second all hell broke loose and the wedding was crashed. Ginny instantly took to battling Death Eaters, too preoccupied to care about anything else. She had just hexed someone when she heard a familiar voice call her name.
''Ginny! Ginny!'' She knew right away that it was Harry. And right away she knew that the time he was leaving was now.
''Go, Harry! Go!'' That was Lupin's voice. Ginny could tell that Harry wasn't convinced, that he wasn't leaving without goodbye.
But when she was done battling everyone, when it was all over..
Harry, Ron, and Hermione had left.

Ending Note: I want to apologize. Kait originally wanted somebody singing Oingo Boingo for her, but due to my computer having ''issues'' I couldn't. So, she said that she could have a Fanfic written for her, and I'm writing about Harry x Ginny. I apologize if it isn't very good: I really never wrote Harry x Ginny fanfiction. I really tried to make this a good story! And I hope how you liked it was post-epilogue, I got the idea for this certain idea when I was watching TV..xD So, anyway.. Merry Xmas to you, Kait! I really hope you liked it as I tried my best. Oh and I'm sorry for posting it really late! I was so busy..

80 Years Later
Sirius and Lily Black looked down at the tombstones. “Very funny how life works, guys.” He said, smiling a little. “Hated each other, worst enemies… what made you change?”
Lily sighed. “You were good men. No, great.”
Sirius looked her over, and then hugged her. “I can still hear you two, coming over at our dinner table… bickering a little, yeah, but mostly talking and having fun.”
Lily bowed her head. “They both loved me, didn’t they?”
“Maybe.”
A little farther away Henry, Thomas, Jacob and Rose were playing together. The Blacks loved their grandchildren with all their heart, and loved their merry feet as they zigzagged across the tombstones, racing.
The leap of faith was over for them.
All was well at last.
