Summary: Ginny hurts. And no one knows. It's not easy being a number. Her number is zero, because that's how many people understand her…probably a Draco/Ginny waiting to happen. Some Ginny/Remus.

Epilogue
Ginny squeezed Draco's hand reassuringly as they walked slowly towards the apparition point. "Stop fidgeting," she murmured for the third time. "It'll be fine. I survived meeting your mother after all, I can't see how my family will be much harder."
Draco rolled his eyes at his shorter girlfriend. "Because my mother is airy fairy all the fucking time, not a care in the world past organizing parties."
"And weddings," Ginny looked slightly horrified at the thought.
Draco smirked. "Don't worry, I won't let my mother take over our wedding." He lifted her left hand and kissed the engagement ring on her finger. "It's our wedding, not hers." He punctuated this by kissing the corner of her mouth. A second later he had Ginny wrapped up in his arms and he was placing gentle kisses along her neck.
"Nice try at stalling for time," Ginny scolded him, leaning back against his arms to cut off Draco's access to her neck. "But you have failed." She disentangled herself from his arms and took his hand again. "Come on, it'll be fine."
Draco muttered complaints and random threats under his breath until they reached the apparition point. That was when he began his pouting routine, knowing this was the last chance to back out of the visit. Ginny held strong, only kissing his pouting lips once.
The couple apparated into the middle of the Weasley's yard, and Ginny hardly allowed Draco to glance around before starting to tug him toward the front door, which her family was apparently waiting behind.
Just before the door, Draco played out his last card… the one that could sometimes make the deal. Distraction. Draco suddenly swooped down upon her mouth, knowing that a surprise attack usually had the best results. Unfortunately for poor Draco, his bid was abruptly made useless when Ginny's front door opened. To her twin brothers' evil grins.
"Aww," they said as one voice.
"Our little Ginny," Fred simpered.
"All grown up," George continued.
"Caught with little ferret on the front porch," Fred interrupted.
"Like a lovesick teenager," George said in a sickeningly sweet voice.
Ginny continued to nibble on Draco's earlobe, fully content to just ignore her brothers, but Draco could not block them out nearly as successfully.
"Hello Fred and George," he said, trying to resist the urge to kiss Ginny. "I'm Draco, but you know that."
The twins grinned at how uncomfortable Draco looked. "You may kiss our sister," George granted permission.
They turned to go back inside. "You have thirty seconds until we bring out Bill and Charlie with wands and curses at the ready. Use your time well, ferret," Fred smirked.
Draco whimpered, but Ginny just pulled him back in for another kiss.
LADEDADEDA! The end, the end, the real and true and lovely END! Hehe… sorry I'm a bit hyper, I'm actually kind of in a good mood for once in a blue moon. I don't know how I did with this epilogue; I tried to make it happier toned, but I also tried to do it in a bit of a hurry since I'm leaving for 18 days on Tuesday. (I'm going out west again… Montana, Wyoming, Idaho, Iowa, North and South Dakota, Canada… I feel like I'm forgetting something, but oh well).
Well, first I'll thank my reviewers for the last chapter… so
THANKS TO: EternalEcho, moonlightwitch, dakangl, next, MiniMichelle2 (I don't know why cherry pie… I like cherry pie, it just came to me), I-forgot-my-name (no I am not australian, and no I have not read it…)
I'd also like to especially thank all of you reviewers who read my other stories as well… (such as "Love and Honesty" and "These Stone Walls"). It means a lot to me that you seemed to appreciate my writing so much! And I'd like to thank all the well-wishers for my problems with depression and for my happy writing in the future… hell, I just want to thank everybody! I actually wanted to thank you all individually, but I did that at the end of all the chapters, and I'm lazy, so I did this generalized thank you instead…
Most of all, I want to thank the reviewers who have been there from the very beginning of this story. In the very first chapters, it's always tentative, and it's always lovely to have positive feedback.
Finally, kisses to all! And even though this story is over, it doesn't mean I'm through writing… I've still got my other work in progress, "These Stone Walls" (by the way, sorry for the delay on updating that one, I'll try to get something up soon). And I'd be happy to have all of you as reviewers still… well I guess this is good-bye… I'll miss ya'll… good luck to all my fellow writers, and if you're just a reader, happy reading!
FAREWELL!
