Wow! My fic became a hot thread! Well, in honor of all my readers former and new (besides you maria ) here's some more...


Chapter 5 continue

Meanwhile and as Hermione was trying to console her kids for the loss of their house and belongings, Ginny went out to water the plants and found Ron standing against the fence, lost in thought.
"Hey", she said approaching him. "Are you okay?"
"I have to be", he replied with a bitter smile.
"You know that you guys can stay with us for as long as you want. I mean, the house is big enough for all of us".
"That's not the problem, Gin. Everything is gone, everything me and Hermione worked and fought for...our entire life got burned...just like that!" he said his eyes welling up.
"I know Ron, but at least you're all fine", she said rubbing his back.
"Yeah...for how long?" he replied and Ginny shook her head.
"Don't say that".
"You saw what happened to Teddy, they almost got us too...those guys are not kidding Ginny and we..." he said but stopped when he saw the tears in his sister's eyes. "Gin, don't...I'm stupid, I don't know what I'm talking about, I'm just so bummed about our house that I'm being pessimistic, I shouldn't have..."
"No, Ron. You just said what I was thinking", she said, tears running down her face.
"Ginny we made it the last time..."
"The last time I didn't have kids, Ron" she yelled.
"Ginny calm..."
"Don't tell me to calm down, Ron! Those lunatics are somewhere out there and my husband, my children; my whole family is their target!"
"Ginny, you know that Harry won't let anything happen to them", Ron whispered wishing his best friend was there to calm her down.
"Yeah, but what if something happens to Harry?" she asked with a suddenly steady voice.
"Harry is strong Gin", Ron replied not even bothering to give another argument.
"Fine. Say that he and his precious aurors manage to stop the new Death Eaters, then what's going to happen?"
"What do you mean?" Ron asked confused.
"Come on Ron!" she said indignantly, turning to face him. "Everybody knows that Matthias is resigning this year and who's going to replace him? And Harry is going to become head of the auror office and he's going to fight bad guys until he gets killed and..."
"Harry is an auror almost two decades now, Ginny. Did you just figure out that his job is dangerous?"
"No, Ron", she replied ignoring the irony in his voice. "I just wish he would let somebody else save the world for a change".
"Would you love him if he did?" he smiled and as she sighed Ron hugged her."I'm sure we're all going to be alright", he added and then looking at her he suddenly started laughing.
"What?" she asked annoyed.
"You're amazing, Ginny, you are. My house and most of my belongings got burned and yet you're the one who needs consoling!"
"Oh, shut up".

Great post. I love how Ron helps Ginny through this even though his situation seems worse. Please post again soon. I still want to know what it was they brought back from Mexico.

~Tori

Yeah well, he is the big brother, he' got to be helpful...as for the thing from Mexico...just be patient, soon somebody else besides Harry will find out and you'll know too...Thanks for posting and for being such a great reader! I may post later today again.

That would be absolutely wonderful if you posted again today. It would give me something to do on my day off.

~Tori

Yet it was really sweet, the way he consoled Ginny .....Is the next chapter the one I think it is? Oh, I can't wait for the replies you're going to get after that one, you evil...
Maria

Okay first of all...Maria don't ever call me Angelito again on my fic! Well, Tori this is for you, just remember you asked for it! lol...I'm sure you guys gonna hate this.....!!!!!!!:evillaugh...

Chapter 6

Ginny started running down the hall as fast as she could with a wounded leg. All the windows were broken and as she stepped in the living room she saw that most of their furniture was destroyed. A loud scream echoed from upstairs and the woman wished it didn't belong to anyone she loved but to one of the Death Eaters that had attacked their home.
She looked around her for something that could help her fight since her wand was broken. Just as she walked towards the baseball bat Hermione's father had given to Hugo, a Death Eater stepped into the room and shot a curse at her. The curse lifted her in the air and send her right upon the opposite wall. She hit her head and her upper body really hard and as she dropped to her knees she felt blood running down her face.
The Death Eater moved closer raising his wand to finish her but as he opened his mouth to say the killing curse a flash of red light hit him and he fell on the floor motionless. Harry run to his wife and helped her up. She was shaking but she couldn't help but notice the big wound on his left shoulder.
"Gin are you okay?" he asked her.
"Yeah, are you?" she returned the question but he dismissed his injuries with a nod.
"Ginny, listen to me. Lil is in the kitchen, which I protected against Death Eaters as much as I could. Gin, I need you to take her and leave".
"No, I'm not leaving you, I'm not leaving the boys", she said shaking her head.
"Ginny you're hurt and you don't have a wand! Take Lily and go! I'll find the boys and follow", he said and pushed her towards the kitchen but she wouldn't move. "Ginny, please go!"
"No..."
"Gin, think of Lily!"
"I can't leave you Harry".
"Gin, I'm not going to die! Just go!"
"But I can't..."
"You have to! Now, go, please, I'm begging you!" he pleaded and she finally obeyed him.
She run to the kitchen and grabbed Lily. The girl was shaken and had a bruised eye but other than that she was alright. With Lily's hand into hers she was ready to apparate along with her, using her daughter's wand, when she heard loud screams. What make her heart froze was the fact that they were screams of excitement.
She run back into the living room and for a moment she thought no one was there but then she saw him. She didn't control the scream that escaped her throat; it was like it belonged to somebody else. Harry Potter, her husband, the father of her children, the love of her life was lying on the floor drown in his own blood. She dropped beside him just as she heard Lily's scream from somewhere far away in spite the fact that she was standing at the door.
Somehow he was still conscious and he managed to whisper her name as she placed his head on her lap. His trembling hands were pressed against his stomach, that's where the wound was. She ripped a part of her shirt off, wrapped it and pulling his hands away she pressured it on his wound. Tears run down her face as her hands filled with his blood.
"Gin", he whispered again.
"Don't talk", she said as she placed her palm on his forehead, her lips inches from his cheek. "It's gonna be alright, you're gonna be okay".
"Ginny...I'm cold", he said and the panic in his voice scared her more than everything. "I...I cannot feel my legs".
"No", she said her tears falling down on him. "No, you won't Potter. Don't you dare die on me...don't you dare leave me!"
She looked around for his wand...she could use a spell to stop the bleeding and then drug him in the kitchen and apparate at Saint Mango's. But as she made to pull away in order to get the wand and make her plan come true he took a weak hold of her hand.
"Wait...don't go", he murmured his whole body shaking, his face white as paper. He fixed his eyes on hers and the pleading in them made her sat still and also made her realize that he was going to die. "I love you", he whispered and his head fell on the side, his eyes staring at nothing and Harry Potter was dead, leaving her back, still alive and swimming in his blood.

Holy Crud!!!!! Why? Not fair. How did Ginny go from being completely fine to having an injured leg? This whole thing has to be a bad dream of hers. Because just a bit ago everything was fine. PAMS!! Don't leave me hanging.

~Tori

Oh...............I always knew you were evil!!!!!!
Oh, about the name thing all I have to say is :master:

Shut up!

Awh. That was so sad =[

Pams.

xo, Padfoot

AHHHHHH! SO EVIL ! OMG! QUICK POST AGAIN! *sobs* you killed Harry

xLillyx

I bet she didn't...she loves him too much to kill him! Trust me I know...

Dude didn't I tell you to shut up? I'm never telling you anything ever again!


Okay, thanks for reading and replying guys and forgive my outburst but she's driving me crazy! Here's some more.

Edit: to any new readers.....pay attention on this chapter it will come in handy later on.......


Ginny screamed as hard as she could and when she couldn't scream anymore she put her head in her hands and started sobbing into them, her whole body shaking, just like his did before he died. His vacant stare came back at her and she didn't notice immediately the warm hands that hugged her shoulders. When she finally did she jumped in shock and grabbed one of them, turning to face the owner.
Harry was staring back at her alarmed just as her eyes widened in shock. She looked around her and realized that she wasn't lying in the living room floor but in her bed. Then she turned to face him again, her breath trembling, her eyes swimming in tears. She placed her hands on his face, feeling his skin against hers, and then she moved her right hand across his bare chest, feeling his heart, making sure it still pounded. Then she hugged him tight, never wanting to let go.
"It's okay Gin, it was just a bad dream", he said as he stroked her hair.
She finally relaxed in his arms and as they sat in silence she was listening to his heart beats, thanking God that it was only a nightmare.
"What did you see?" he asked when she finally let go of him. She looked at the emerald eyes that she loved so much and the picture of him dead in her arms came back at her.
"I saw you", she replied, silent tears still running down her face.
"Was I so scary?"
"You died", she said and he sighed.
"Gin, I'm not going to die", he said and a sad smile appeared on her face.
"That's exactly what you said in my dream before you did".
"You can't think like that, my love. You're only torturing yourself", he said shaking his head and wiping her tears away with his thumbs.
"I can't lose you".
"You won't...we're gonna make it through this...together", he said and kissed her lips softly. She sighed and Harry hugged her again.
"Just know", she said looking up at him, "that I wouldn't make it without you". He looked at her with a serious look on his face.
"Yes you would", he said and she sat up looking at him. "You'll have to...for Jamie, Al and Lily".
"Harry..."
"I know that it's probably not the right time for this but given the situation with the Death Eaters, I think we should make this conversation".
"What are you talking about?" she asked confused.
"Gin, if something happens to me..."
"You were the one who told me not to think like that! If I can't think like that, you can't either!"
"If something happens to me", he repeated without commenting her words, "I need to know that you'll be okay".
"Okay? I just had a nightmare of you dying and I was scared to death...you think that there's a way for me to be okay without you?"
"I'm not going to die", he repeated. "But if I do you'll be the only one to protect the kids".
"Fine", she said. "I'll promise that if something happens to you, I'll try and be strong for the kids, if you promise me the same thing".
"What?" he asked perplexed.
"Will you be okay and strong if I die?" she asked raising her eyebrows.
"You're not going..."
"Will you?"
He looked at her. He couldn't imagine his life without looking at her face, without stroking her hair, without kissing her lips, without touching her skin, without caressing her body.
"I will", he responded and she nodded.
"Then I will too".

-Angie-

xLillyx

Hey everyone! Thanks for your replies...this chapter is a happy one, which I really enjoyed writing...I figured that I should put something happy in my story given what's coming...lol...tell me if you liked it.

Chapter 7

Harry was walking a big hall in the Ministry along with Hermione. He hadn't told her yet what Matthias told him, he just didn't know how. Plus he had to tell her that he was now charge of the Apostollo case. He opened his mouth to talk but Hermione beat him to it.
"You look really tired Harry", she said looking up from the papers she was holding.
"Yeah...Ginny and I didn't sleep at all last night" he replied and she laughed.
"You guys are unbelievable! All these things happening and still all you can think is how to grope each other as always!"
"What? No", he said shaking his head. "Ginny had a nightmare and it took me like forever to stop her from crying".
"Ginny...crying?" she asked in disbelief.
"Yeah, I know, but I think these later events really shook her. I'm kind of concerned actually".
"I know it's strange...Ron told me she got upset yesterday when they talked in the garden" she said and Harry shook his head deep in concern. Hermione suddenly burst into laughing out of nowhere.
"Why are you laughing?"
"Well...it just came back to me...remember when we watched the Titanic in my parent's house?" she said still laughing and Harry joined her.
"How could I forget?"
"Your wife must have been the only woman in the whole wide planet who didn't cry!"
"Instead she was outraged!"
"Yeah...because that stupid fake-redheaded couldn't move her butt just a smidge so that the fox would be saved as well!"
"Oh, you remember her words exactly!" he said.
"And Ron was trying to explain to her how romantic the movie was!" Hermione giggled.
"While he was crying his eyes out!" he said and they both roared with laughter.
"Okay, enough, my ribs hurt!" Hermione said after a while and she tried to suppress another outburst of laughter. "Still that makes it even harder to explain why Ginny is taking it so hard", she added and Harry became serious at once.
"I don't know...I mean yeah it's weird, but even before this whole Apostollo thing she was acting kind of strange", Harry said as he began walking again.
"Strange? What do you mean?"
"She just got irritated over nothing all the time".
"Well, that sounds like Ginny to me" Hermione said smiling. "You should know by now that the Weasleys have a nasty temper! She always gets irritated when Ron..."
"Yeah, Hermione, but she never did that with me! I mean I'm just realizing that something is wrong", Harry said and stopped walking again.
"Oh, come on Harry. I'm sure it's nothing. It's not like she's acted like that before".
"Oh, she did act like that before, but that was back when she was..." Harry started but cut his sentence as he finally recognized the signs. "Oh, my God!" he said and closed his eyes.
"What?" Hermione asked alarmed. Harry opened his eyes and smiled at her tiredly.

It was late in the afternoon and Molly and Arthur were at their daughter's home, learning the later events stunned.
"Mum, come on!" Ginny said indignantly as her mother sobbed on her shoulder.
"I can't believe they burned their house!" she said and Ginny felt her own eyes welling up as well...what the hell was wrong with her lately?
"Hey! I didn't realize you guys were here!" said Rose as she entered the kitchen.
"Yeah we haven't seen you at all since you arrived last week" her grandfather said hugging her, as Molly wiped her tears. Albus walked in too.
"I knew I heard voices from the kitchen!" he said smiling broadly as he hugged his grandmother.
"Oh, you've gotten tall Alby!" Molly said smiling. "Yet you're too thin! Ginevra Potter aren't you making sure that your kids eat properly?"
"Oh, mum don't start!" the woman said rolling her eyes.
"GINNY!GINNY!" Harry yelled as he opened the door. He dropped his coat and his bag on a chair and he run in the living room.
"We're in the kitchen" Ginny yelled as she stood up. Harry walked in with a big smile on his face.
"Hey everybody!" he said nodding at his parents-in-law.
"Dad, are you okay?" Albus asked.
"Yeah, I'm fine", he replied as Hermione entered the room too. "Ginny, can I talk to you?"
"Okay" she said and followed him upstairs, after she looked at Hermione for some explanation but she just smiled.
"So Ron isn't back from the shop yet?" Hermione said turning to face the others still in the room.
"No", Mr. Weasley replied. "What was that about?"
"Oh, you'll see!" said Hermione smiling.

"What's going on?" Ginny asked as she closed the door of their bedroom.
"Why didn't you tell me?" Harry asked without losing his smile.
"Tell you what?"
"Gin, I know!" he said widening his eyes.
"Know what?" she asked looking at him both confused and alarmed.
"You know what!" he said mockingly.
"Potter, either you tell me right now what you're talking about or I'm hexing you!" she said angrily.
"You mean you don't know?" Harry laughed.
"KNOW WHAT?" she yelled exasperated. He grabbed her from the waist and lifted her in the air. "Put me down you bloody lunatic!" she yelled as he was spinning her around.
"I'm so glad that I get to say it this time!" he said leaving her on the bed.
"Are you freaking mad?" she asked him.
"No", he smiled and bite his lower lip. "Gin...um...I think I know why you're so emotional these days".
"Wait, what?"
"You're pregnant!" he announced and she looked at him stunned.
"Huh?" she responded. "No, I'm not".
"Yes, you are!"
"No, I'm not", she said standing up.
"Yes you are".
"No, I'm not!", she said outraged.
"Yes, you are!"
"No, I'm..."she began but stopped. How long was it since...? "Oh, my God, I am!" she said bringing her hands to her mouth and Harry nodded still smiling broadly. "Oh my God!" she repeated and fell back on the bed. "I don't understand...I was taking the pill!"
"Well, it seems like you were forgetting it once and while".
"You think?" she asked ironically.
"Oh, come on love! This is great news!" Harry said when she covered her face with her hands.
"No it's not! I...I can't be pregnant after twelve years and with Death Eaters on the loose!" she said indignantly but he just smiled.
"We're gonna have a baby", he said and she threw a pillow at him. He avoided it and sat next to her.
"Oh, this is so..." she started but as Harry kissed her she couldn't continue. At first she just let him kissing her but as he moved his hand under her shirt and placed it on her belly, she finally gave in and smiling she kissed him back.

-Angie-

Oh, Tori I tried to fit Molly in this chapter for you but I couldn't but it's time to learn some information about the Mexico thing!


Chapter 8

"Harry wait!" Ginny yelled chasing after her husband. He reached the end of the stairs before she did and looked at her mockingly.
"This time I'll announce it!"
"Well, you got to announce it to me...isn't that enough?"
"No" he smiled and run to the kitchen. She rolled her eyes and followed him.
"Where are Molly and Arthur?" Harry asked Hermione as he walked in.
"They just left, mate" Ron said coming from the living room and Harry frowned.
Hermione was making Albus and Rose something to eat and only looked up when Ginny came in.
"So is he right?" she asked her sister-in-law smiling.
"I guess he is", she said shrugging and Hermione run to hug her with a squeal.
"What's going on?" Ron asked perplexed as he, Albus and Rose watched as Hermione, Ginny and Harry hugged each other.
"Well..." Harry started but he stopped as James entered the room.
"Dad, mum can I talk to you?" he said in a serious tone. Ginny and Harry looked at each other and then Harry elbowed them to the living room.
James walked in behind his father and closed the door. He had found about a thousand ways to go to the festival but they were all ridiculous. Besides that as much as he wanted to go, it just didn't feel right to lie to his parents, so he decided to come clean with them.
"James we have something to tell you", Ginny said smiling before James could start.
"I have something to tell you too".
"It's ok, you go first", his mother said.
"Ok. You know I love music and that I'm in a band", he said. "We managed to be selected into the Teenage Battle of Bands, which is a big music festival and I need to go".
"Oh...sure, honey, as long as the Death Eaters get out of the way you can..."
"No, mum, it's tomorrow. I have to go tomorrow", James stated.
"But...baby, it's too dangerous..." Ginny replied shaking her head.
"Yeah, but this is a chance in a life time! You always say that we should never turn our backs to our luck! Please, please let me go!"
Ginny, unable to respond to this, turned to her husband, who had stayed silent until then.
"Jamie", Harry started slowly. "I understand that this means a lot to you, but I cannot let you put your life in danger for that".
"That's not fair!" James shook his head.
"Jamie, I'm sorry, but your safety comes first! The Death Eaters are dangerous!" Harry said.
"Oh, so they're dangerous for me and not for you?"
"What do you mean?" Harry asked perplexed.
"Does mum know that you're in charge of the Apostollo case?" James said looking at his mother.
"What?" she said looking from the one to the other.
"How do you know this?"
"IT'S TRUE?" Ginny yelled.
"Yeah it is" James answered before his father could. "And did you know that the aurors possess something the Death Eaters would do anything to have?"
"What?" Ginny asked again.
"HOW DO YOU KNOW THIS?"
"Somekind of an ancient book with powerfull spells he found in a tomb in Mexico".
"You went through my stuff?" Harry asked shocked.
"You dropped your bag and the envelope fell down".
"AND YOU OPENED IT?" Harry yelled at the top of his voice and James took some steps back.
"Why is it dangerous for me and it's not dangerous for you?"
"Your father is a trained auror, James" Ginny said deciding she would deal with her son now and yell at her husband later.
"I WANNA GO TO THE CONCERT!" James shouted ignoring his mother.
"Well, if there was any chance I would let you go, you just ruined it", Harry said outraged. The boy though was as angry as he was.
"Why do I have to destroy my future because of your past?" James said shaking with anger and leaving Harry speechless for a while.
"JAMES!" Ginny yelled warningly.
"Listen to me son" Harry began with a low voice in spite the fact that he was even angrier than he had been when he burst in Matthias' office. "You're not allowed to go anywhere!"
"WHY?"
"Because it was bad enough that you were my son, now you know a secret every Death Eater would kill to know!"
"Oh, don't you worry daddy...I would never betray your little secret to the Death Eaters...I know how much your job means to you" James said in a slow, hurting voice.
"It's not my job I'm worrying about, it's you!"
"OH, REALLY? SINCE WHEN?"
"SINCE ALWAYS!" Harry yelled back. "You can't go because you put yourself in bigger danger when you went through my stuff!"
"I DIDN'T GO THROUGH YOUR BLOODY STUFF! THEY WERE ON THE FLOOR!" James screamed.
"The envelope was closed and you opened it, yes or no?" Harry asked.
"Yes but..."
"You had no right!"
"AND YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO STOP ME FROM GOING TO THE CONCERT!"
"I'M YOUR FATHER! I HAVE EVERY RIGHT!"
"Why do you want so desperately to ruin my life?" James asked tears of anger running down his face.
"James for God's sake!" Ginny said indignantly. "You life won't be ruined if you don't go to that silly concert!"
"IT'S NOT SILLY!"
"Don't yell at your mother!" Harry warned him.
"Fine then I'll yell at you!"
"JAMES!" Ginny screamed outraged.
"LET ME GO TO THE CONCERT!"
"ENOUGH!" Harry bellowed. "This conversation is over. You can't go!"
James looked at his father his eyes still watering, shaking with anger.
"I HATE YOU!" he shouted at his father's face and he run upstairs in his room, leaving Harry shocked and hurt.
