I hit a brick wall with this story. A huge magical brick wall. I apologize profusely for just ending it like this but I couldn't come up with anything else and I know there isn't much resolve but that's kind of how I wanted to leave it. The story was about their transition, not about a political/legal fight. If I ever get the time I might do a sequel but I have three other really big fics going on right now that I am desperate to finish. Sorry to end it like this but I honestly thought about it long and hard and I decided that this was what was best.

~*Hermione*~

This passed year has just been a whirlwind. I don't know where the future will take us. I don't know if those laws will be repealed in our lifetime or if we'll have to stay here forever. What I do know is that as long as Ginny is by my side I won't ever worry about any of it. We'll be together and that's all that matters. She is my everything. I wouldn't have moved across an ocean if I doubted we could be together forever. There was no other option, in my mind. I wasn't about to have her be thrown in a cell and tortured. It would've killed me, honestly. I don't regret any of it and I never will. I wholeheartedly believe my parents would've embraced us and protected us had they been alive to see how happy I am. They always told me that it didn't matter who you loved, just that you loved. Whatever happens, we'll make it through. I know we will.

~*Ginny*~

I'll admit that I really, honestly didn't want to leave when George first told us that might be our only option if we wanted to stay together. After a while I figured that I'd already lost my parents though so I really had nothing else to lose. They did disown me after they found out Hermione and I left. George didn't want to tell me but after a few furious letters he finally caved and said that yes, I had been officially burned on the family tapestry that was kept in the sitting room and my hand had been taken off the clock. It was no secret that Hermione and I were together after that. When our names went on the list of wanted persons, everyone found out. The only thing I would change about this if I could would be the bloody laws. I wouldn't change anything else because it brought me to the one person I'm meant to be with, despite what the bigots say. She is my love, the reason I wake up in the morning and the reason I smile before I fall asleep. I don't know what the future holds but if she's in it then everything in my life will be perfect.
