Happily Ever...

Chapter Eighteen

AN: In this fic Hogwarts ends at the beginning of June instead of the end of June(cause that's how I wrote it and that's how my schools works). Also this chapter switches POV a lot so hang in there.

Harry's POV

May arrived faster than I even thought was possible. Soon I found myself studying in the library or reading books in between classes. Draco was impressed by my studying habits but I had decided that I might as well not completely waste my last year at Hogwarts. Studying had become a normal part of my day. I would do most of my work with my friends in the library, then study with Draco, Hermione, and Pansy in the common room and my personal favorite part of the day was the end when I got to crawl into my very comfortable bed and cuddle next to my very beautiful boyfriend.

As I made my way down to breakfast I couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief that no students stopped to yell or curse things at Draco, who walked beside me with his hand intertwined with mine. Most people had gotten bored of Draco and his father and had moved onto a much bigger topic: Final exams. Between the OWLs, NEWTs, and just the regular finals everyone was extremely busy trying to cram as much knowledge as possible into their brains.

I took my usual spot at the Gryffindor table along with my other friends. Ron moved his spot to beside me, bringing his food with him of course.

"Are you excited?" Ron asked.

"For what?" I questioned.

"For what? For the final quidditch match of the year of course." Ron said.

"Oh right, that's this weekend. It seemed farther away. I can't believe we're playing Ravenclaw. I mean, we usually play Slytherin for the final match" I replied. Draco stuck his tongue out at me. "Mature babe, very mature."

"Well we can't exactly underestimate them. Ravenclaw can be a tricky house to beat. I'm sure Ginny has a plan." Ron said.

We spent the rest of breakfast discussing strategies and tactics to win this weekend's game. After breakfast Ron and I tried to find Ginny to see about her game plan but she wasn't at the Gryffindor table. We ended up finding her at the Ravenclaw table with Luna, who I'd noticed she had been spending a lot of time with lately.

"Hey Gin, Harry and I were discussing game plans for the match this weekend. We came up with some good stuff if you have a minute." Ron said.

"Ya sure, one sec." She waved goodbye to Luna and a few other Ravenclaws before walking with us to our first class.

Ron and I filled her in on some of the tactics we came up with and she nodded along and even wrote some down. She waved goodbye to Ron but grabbed my sleeve before I could enter the classroom.

"Harry, can I talk to you for a minute?" She asked. I was skeptical, remembering what happened the last time. "Please, it won't take long and I'll stand away from you."

"Ok sure." I said.

"I'm sorry. I'm sorry for all the things I said and did, I was so fixed on getting what I thought I wanted that I couldn't see that everything I did made you unhappy. I can be a stubborn person and when I was younger I had this idea in my head that you and I would be endgame. But now I realize that it's not what either of us want." She said, she was looking at the ground.

"You like Luna don't you?" I asked. She nodded. "She's a good person and so are you. You'll make each other happy."

"I just want us to be friends. I miss the brother you were to me. The brother who saved my life and the one who helped teach me to play quidditch. I lost one brother in the war, I don't want to lose you too." She finally looked up at me and I smiled.
