Chapter Nine
“You lied too me both of you”
“We had too”
“You planned his death, you knew I was next why wouldn’t you tell me, let me prepare for it”
“It would have been too much of a risk that you would run away from it”
“Instead I’ve had to come to terms with it by myself, thinking that there was no way out only to have been tricked into it”
“It was the only way we could be sure”
“Screw you two being sure, what about me, I’m the one that’s got to do this not you, he’s dead and buried safely away from the whole mess you’re the psychopaths right hand mad man, I’m the one that’s going to lose everything”
He stormed out of the office; Snape swept out after him “Stop feeling so sorry for yourself, conceited and pitiable just like your father before you”
“Don’t you dare bring my father into this mess, if it wasn’t for people like him you wouldn’t still be alive, you’d have been killed by a werewolf”
“Listen to your self whinging and whining, face him like a man, die like one, prove to him it can be done, death can be faced without fear”
“I’m not scared of dying Snape, I just want to have the chance to live after seventeen years of -” the swear word came out in an angry hiss, Snape looked taken a back,
Harry rolled his eyes “You’ve heard a creature speak parsel tongue bout time you heard it from a man”
He kept walking out of the castle until he got onto the grounds, this would be where he met him, the spot where it would come to an end. He stood looking around carefully taking in his surroundings; he could see Hagrid’s house and the pumpkin patches, Dumbledore’s white tomb in the distance and the Whopping Willow swishing enthusiastically in the wind.
He was coming and Harry was ready.
“Harry” the voice was clear and beautiful but she wasn’t supposed to be there,
“You’re supposed to be with Hermione and Ron”
“I’ve come to help you; I know what you’re doing” she took of the charm that hid her from view,
He watched her reappear and sighed “I’m the last Horcrux Gin, your not going to watch me die”
“Yes I am” she took the sword from his waist, “Then I’m going to kill that bloody snake and watch him suffer until his dying breath”
He looked at her, “You’re amazing you know that right”
“So are you Harry” she smiled “So are you” she hugged him tightly “I have you so what do I get as well?”
He smiled putting his father’s cloak around her shoulders “My heart, my soul and my cloak” he smiled, kissed her softly on the lips and lifted up the hood so she was completely hidden standing beside him.
The sky darkened and Snape came out of the front doors, “He’s nearly here Potter”
“Go and stand with him, he’s still your master”
“I was always Dumbledore’s man Harry – always” he stood the other side of Harry unknown to him that Ginny was there, and then they saw it. The black cloak flying, his followers with him on brooms, he saw Bellatrix and wanted to shoot her down from the sky and watch her smash against the ground but he couldn’t do it. Let her rot in Azkaban.
It landed gracefully for such a dark creature and became of a humanoid form, or as human as Voldemort could manage.
“Harry Potter”
“Tom Riddle” Harry replied as if greeting an old friend, it made him infuriated. Harry noted the protective bubble around the precious Nagini.
“You dare call me my wretched father’s name?”
“It’s just a name Tom, just like Lily and James, or Albus and Sirius – how many names can you remember of those you’ve murdered Tom”
“I have no need to remember boy they mean nothing to me”
“Oh that’s right, because they’re dead and you don’t like death do you Tom, it’s frightens you that’s why you evade it”
“Finish it master and kill the traitor that stands at his side” sneered Bellatrix angrily,
“Sh my dear” he hissed softly as if talking to a lover, “He will come to me to die when he’s finished explaining”
“That sure told her didn’t it” Harry smirked “And Snape, well he’s just about as ready to die as I am so take your best shot”
Bellatrix’s fingers twitched on her wand like she’d been given permission to strike at Snape, but the words had been said by Harry so she couldn’t follow them.
“You seem awfully calm for one facing death at my hands, not like others I’ve seen, shaking, pleading to live”
“I’m not scared, I’ve seen death before – could you at least make it quick I’m in a hurry to see my parents it’s been a long seventeen years”
Voldemort almost laughed at his words, if Voldemort was capable of laughter, it was more a sound as pleasant as nails on a black board. Then there was something else to interrupt, the gates opened and in strode McGonagall with a herd of Aurors, order members, Hagrid and Ron and Hermione.
“Do it Tom, do it now” he said angrily hoping that he could save them from attack, “Do it” he said and then to really get through “Kill me Tom” he hissed in parsel tongue. The snake in the bubble coiled viciously as it understood, snapping and hissing violently, Voldemort became furious and held his wand higher, Harry’s wand stayed pointing at the creatures heart as if he would fight back,
“Love you Gin” he said quietly feeling her hand in his,
“I’ll always love you Harry”
The green light took over everything, Ginny watched him fall to the ground, she heard the screams from the crowd and then Voldemort was on his knees clutching at his chest. She gripped the sword, the bubble fading and flickering around the snake, she struck out slicing it in half. Voldemort reached out with a hand, Bellatrix kneeling beside him and then drawing her wand to fight. She stabbed him with the sword to, right through the chest pinning him to the ground. Bellatrix yelled and screeched like a banshee but was silenced with a curse from McGonagall when she tried to attack the owner of the sword she couldn't see. There was no use in fighting they were surrounded but they tried anyway. In a matter of minutes they were captured, and Ginny was floating Harry’s body in front of her down to the tree by the lake. Hermione and Ron must have wondered what was going on seeing him floating, she took down the hood, letting her hair flow out behind her and then sat with him under the tree.
His head was resting on her lap, he was still warm and she stroked her hand through his hair gently.
“Ginny” said a voice cautiously approaching,
“Hmm” she replied looking out to the water,
“You have to let him go”
“I know, I will, just let me have this ok”
Hermione nodded worriedly, She stroked his hair and wondered where he was, if he was seeing his parents again and Sirius and being hugged and congratulated. The strange thing to her was that he wasn’t getting colder, in fact he felt almost feverish, and she felt for a pulse. She hadn’t had a reason to before, no one had ever survived that curse apart from – apart from him - there wasn’t anyway he could face it twice and live, her fingers searched and sure enough it was there.
“Oh my god, he’s alive” she shouted turned towards Hermione only now there was more then just her standing there, there was Ron, her mother and Professor McGonagall watching her. “You don’t believe me, feel his pulse” she held out his arm presenting a wrist “Hermione feel his pulse” she said urgently, Hermione complied expecting it to be some sort of delusion but it wasn’t, his heart was still beating, slowly and shallowly granted but it was still going.
“We need to get him to the hospital wing” she levitated him and Ginny got up with her,
“He’s really still alive?” Ron questioned,
“Would I lie Ron?” Ginny said her eyes looking at Harry as they walked,
“It’s been known to happen on occasion”
“I didn’t kill Percy”
“No one did” replied a voice, they turned to look,
Ginny stopped, stared and then slapped him round the face, “Where have you been?”
“The ministry told me they needed me for an important mission, they locked me in a cell, took a few hairs, I was naïve and stupid”
“Too right you were how did you get out?”
“The ministry’s collapsed I was let out in the crowds, their capturing death eaters and everyone that was under the imperious is coming back to normal” he rubbed his cheek, “You’ve got quite a slap there little sister”
“Just wait until she gets you with the bat bogie”
“I’m not in the mood for that” she muttered walking with Hermione as they took his body inside. The fever was getting worse, if it didn’t break soon he would be dead and there was nothing she could do.

Chapter Ten
“You have to fight it Harry” she whispered to him, she was sitting in the chair curled up watching him but not touching him. His skin was boiling, she couldn’t hold onto it for more then a few seconds.
Madam Pomfrey was bustling about around preparing drafts, “I’ve never seen anything like it, so fierce, like he’s actually physically fighting the curse” she’d said earlier after pouring something green down his throat. They were all celebrating in the great hall; she could hear the party drifting down the corridors. Hermione and Ron were sitting with her; some order members were in the hallway along with her parents but the rest of the school was partying triumphantly.
“He said goodbye” she muttered, absentmindedly watching him. “He made love to me, he said goodbye”
Ron’s ears went a violent shade of red and his hands were shaking, Hermione blushed but Ron got up and walked out,
“I said that out loud, didn’t I” she sighed, as Hermione nodded, “Oopps” Ginny giggled and it seemed strange to at a time like this but she was remembering it, it was only today that it happened,
“That’s what woke you up isn’t it” Hermione questioned,
“Even though he tried so hard to stay away he came back”
“I’m going to go and talk to him” Hermione sighed getting up.
It went on like this, Ron refusing to come back in the room, Ginny sitting with him, falling asleep as the hours passed. The days passed. He was still holding on, still fighting.
“He should be dead at this temperature” Poppy said shaking her head and taking his pulse again, it was stronger, faster. “There’s a war raging inside of him and he’s taking some pretty heavy hits, he’s done well to get this far but I can’t say whether it’ll kill him or keep him alive, his hearts faster but he’s still unconscious – there might be brain damage, internal damage” she waved her wand over him “Or at least there should have been but there isn’t” she was truly amazed “I don’t know what he’s been doing right but it’s keeping him here”
“How much longer do you think he’ll sleep?”
“Not much” Poppy replied, “Call me if there’s any change”
Ginny sat with him two more day’s, she was getting paler and paler, her mother forcing her to eat and sleep but it was the exhaustion of not knowing whether he was going to make it playing on her mind that was causing this. She started to get angry at him now, for keeping her waiting. He’d been like this now a week, clinging to life, his cheeks were returning to normal and when Poppy took his temperature it had gone down,
“We’ll know any day now, he’s fevers broken”
One more day she gave him, just one. She was there alone that night and then it happened. He gasped, sat up and clutched his chest wheezing.
“Harry!” his eyes darted around saw her face and his breathing became more regular.
He blinked his hand reaching to her face, tracing her cheek and jaw bone “I missed you” I said simply like he’d been away on a trip round the world for a few months not lying in a hospital bed fighting death.
“I thought – you said you were going to die”
“I thought I was – I did for a while - I saw them – then it was just darkness”
“You saw who?”
“My parents, everyone even Cedric Diggory, there was everyone he ever killed”
She didn’t know what to say, so instead it came out as “What was it like?”
“Bright lights, we were on the tube trains going underground in London and every carriage was full of the people, all of them, every face on the newspaper, every loved one that’s gone missing. I spoke to them all, there names Amelia Bones, Henry Yates, Bathilda Bagshot, Kirby Griffin, - there all up here, I can tell the ministry every one that he murdered” he said tapping the side of his head,
She was silent,
“How long have I been out?”
“You’ve been gone a week”
“Is he dead?”
“You killed him – you made him weak enough to be stabbed”
“You?” he asked and she nodded when he smiled “What did they do with the body?”
“Burned it, the flames were black, the ashes are in a jar in a vault in the ministry”
“And they don’t think anyone will try and steal it?”
“He can’t come back”
“We’ve said that before and he’s managed it”
“This is different, the prophesy has been fulfilled, he’s dead your alive”
“We said our goodbyes but you still sat here waiting, I told you not to wait Gin”
“What did you want me to do, give up when there was a chance you were going to come back to me?”
“Exactly- there was only a chance”
“Your lucky I bothered to check your pulse they all thought you were dead” she folded her arms angrily how could he be so ungrateful.
“Thankyou” he replied,
“You don’t sound like you mean it”
“I think I was resigned to the fact I was going to die, so suddenly waking up and being alive is a surprise”
“Doesn’t change the fact you would have rather I abandoned all hope”
“When you say it like that – Gin you knew that if he was going to kill me I would die, I knew it, we both didn’t know that it might actually just kill his soul and not mine as well”
“So if you had died what would you have wanted me to do? Forget you?”
“Yes – move on with your life – your sixteen it can be done”
“You’re only a year older then I am, don’t act like I’m a baby and your forty years old” she said annoyed “And when did you expect me to move on after sleeping with me that morning? Give me a date”
Her mother had the worst timing in the world, walking in, hearing those words and her face became angry.
“It wasn’t like that Gin and you know it” Harry said before he noticed Molly’s presence in the room, at her cough.
Harry rubbed his forehead in pain and put his glasses on as his eyes started to ache, the room becoming so much clearer, and the look of disapproval in Molly’s eyes was so much more effective in guilt tripping him. Yes she was glad he was alive, just not so glad about the sleeping with her daughter before he went to his death bit.
Ginny sat back in the chair, her arms still crossed glaring at him, and her mother spoke up
“Welcome back Harry”
“Thankyou Mrs Weasley”
“I’ll go and get Madam Pomfrey to check you over” she turned to go and Harry tried to talk to Ginny again,
“I’m sorry Ginny”
“You can’t keep saying it and think it gives you a clean slate”
“I think I’ll try and earn your forgiveness instead”
“It will take you a while”
“I’m not going anywhere”
“You say that now”
“I told you Gin, my heart, my soul there yours I’m unexpectedly alive again but there still yours and nothing will change that, so how about I give you a lifetime to try and forgive me?”
She sat quietly looking at the floor,
“How about I give you my whole life, and a ring and a chance to wear a big white dress”
Her head snapped up in realisation,
“Will you marry me Gin, marry me and let me make it up to you?”
She stared at him “What?!”
“I’ve got a second chance at life I’m not going to waste it, I’m going to get what I want, what I’ve always wanted – you”
She leap on him in a hug and he held on just as tightly, they kissed and yet again her mother earned the worst timing award, but he had to ask, “Is that a yes?”
She nodded still sitting on his lap, “Yes Harry” she kissed him again ignoring the coughing from her mother and then sat beside him beaming.
“What’s just happened?”
“I asked your daughter to marry me if that’s ok with you of course Mrs Weasley?”
She stood mouth gapping looking between them,
“But your so young?!”
“I feel about forty” Harry grinned, Ginny hitting his arm at his joke,
“I said yes as you can probably, kind of tell…”
“Well I’m saying no”
Ginny yelled outraged “What?!”
“Not until your older Ginerva”
“Ask dad, I want to know what he thinks”

Chapter Eleven
Harry was recovering at Mungo’s where they could keep better watch on him since the school had been closed for a month so families could to return to each other and celebrate. Ginny sat opposite her parents in the living room of the burrow, they had just told him now since he hadn’t been home for while, he’d been sleeping in the office, and the anger between mother and daughter was spilling dangerously over the edge that he came home to sort it out.
“I’m going to have to agree with your mother Ginny”
“That’s so hypocritical; you ran off and got married at sixteen”
“That was different”
“No it’s not, we’re not in the middle of a war like you were; you guys only got married because you were scared”
“Your mother and I got married because we love each other”
“And what you don’t think I love Harry?”
“We do not doubt that you care for him” Molly started,
“But you don’t think I love him?”
“Mum let them do it” Ron said coming into the living and interrupting the shouting match,
“This has nothing to do with you Ron” Ginny shouted and then realised what he’d actually said “Hold on - what?”
He smiled “Let them get married” he shrugged,
“Why?” Arthur asked curiously,
“I’ve seen them together more then you guys have, there nuts about each other and when there not together all I get is ‘Ginny this, Ginny that or Harry this, Harry that’ – they’re in love, hey she fell to pieces when he told her they couldn’t be together so did he damn near broke his hand punching a wall, it’s got to be something when he was forced to give her up cause he thought it would protect her from Voldemort, you didn’t see her sit staring at a wall for two day’s when he left only to come back to life the minute he came back”
“Thank you Ron” Ginny grinned jumping up to hug him, “You’re my favourite brother now you know that right”
“Oi wasn’t I always” he hugged her
“Nope Charlie was”
“That hasn’t changed our minds Ginny” Molly said firmly “Your too young, wait a few years, get to know each other some more before you commit to it”
Ginny yelled out in anger and stormed up the stairs to her room. She grabbed her purse and cloak “I’m going to see Harry” she called out as she walked out the garden gate and onto the path, she stuck out her wand as her mother came out of the house “Get back inside now young lady”
She ignored her,
“Don’t get on that bus Ginerva”
“Your mum sounds angry maybe you shouldn’t-”
“- Let me on the bus Stan” she handed him the sickles and he stepped aside, the bus disappeared as Molly got to the gate.
She got off at Mungo’s and walked in to reception,
“I’m looking for Harry Potter” the woman stared at her “I do actually know him, I’m his girlfriend”
“Sure” she smiled,
“Merlin – you know what I’ll find him myself” She turned to go,
“Prove it sweetheart”
Ginny smiled leaning her elbow on the desk and spoke quietly, “Well his name is Harry James Potter, his birthday’s the 31st of July, his favourite colour is this shade of red” she twirled a strand of hair round her finger “he’s position on the school quidditch team was seeker”
“Tell me something I don’t already know”
“I was getting there sweetheart” she muttered in the same sickly sweet tone of voice the woman had used on her “He loves my mums roast potatoes, and he has this cute little birthmark just here” she pointed to just above her hip – she was actually telling the truth about that one “Underneath all the scars of course there’s the muscles and you know in bed there’s this noise he makes -”
“- down the hall, up the lift to the third floor, left until you reach double doors and he’s in private room number 340”
“Thankyou” she smirked, walking away.
She let out a sigh standing in the lift as it went up, she got out and walked down the hallway contemplating what to tell him, she just wanted to run and do it somewhere far away. Maybe that’s what she should just say.
He was asleep and she sat down in the unoccupied chair. She watched him for a while and then he woke up groggily.
“Hey Harry” she smiled,
“Gin” he yawned “How long you been here?”
“About an hour, I don’t want to go home”
“Did you come by yourself?”
She nodded, she’d been kept at home the two weeks while he was moved and mum wouldn’t let her out of her sight.
“Dad said no” she mumbled and then started to cry,
“It’s ok Gin, don’t cry” he got up thankful they provided him with him own pj’s and not the stupid gowns like in muggle hospitals,
“They said I’m not old enough”
“Then we wait” he said sitting on the arm of the chair, she buried her head in his chest,
“I don’t want to have to; if they have there way I’ll be thirty before I leave home”
“They just don’t want you to rush; I can understand that even if I don’t like it”
“Then let’s go somewhere then, I don’t want anything big, I just want to be yours”
“Your family would never forgive either of us Gin”
“I don’t care and Ron, Ron told them to let us do it can you believe it?”
“He did?”
“Yeah, he told them but they still don’t think I love you”
“I know you do, that’s all that matters to me”
“There talking about waiting years, I’ve waited years to be your girlfriend I’m not waiting that long to be your wife”
“But if they want us to wait – you’re of age in October after that you’re allowed to do what you want – let’s just announce our engagement for now, then everyone will know our intentions and it might make them move a bit faster”
“Hmm” she pulled away and shuffled over for him to sit next to her,
“We’ve got time now; we didn’t have any before” he kissed her forehead “And maybe while we’re waiting you could help me find a house – I’m not going back to Grimmald place – and maybe even move in with me”
She smiled “Really?”
“We want to prove to them we’re serious then let’s live with each other and show them it works”
“I still have seventh year after this”
“And you want to go back there a married woman – won’t that be strange?”
“Nope, I’m looking forward to seeing there faces” she smirked, “When teachers tell me off and they have to say Mrs Potter” she started to laugh, and he shook his head smiling
“You’re crazy”
“You love it” she replied leaning in to kiss him,
“I do” he smiled “I love everything about you”
A cough came from the door way and they broke away, Harry looking up to see a familiar face.
“Oh erm hey”
“Yeah – I might come back when you’re not attached to my baby sister”
“Hey! I’m not a baby”
“Ginny you’re still gonna be my baby sister when you’re ninety” Bill laughed,
“Seriously are you trying to put him off marrying me by suggesting I’m an infant?”
Harry rolled his eyes “Gin death didn’t want me to leave you, him calling you a name isn’t gonna take back a marriage proposal – your very over dramatic since -”
“Since when?” she asked looking at him first with a smile and then in irritation,
“Since I woke up”
“You don’t think that may just be the reason why?!”
“Well yeah but-”
“Bill, give us a minute will you” she said staring at Harry,
“Sure, just don’t end your engagement before it’s even begun” He said walking to the door, Harry was staring back at her and Bill left closing the door looking worried.
She got up and sat facing him on the bed “Dramatic what’s dramatic?”
“Not dramatic, that was the wrong word, just more touchy about stuff”
She crossed her arms “Like?”
“Your parents saying no, Bill calling you his baby sister, thirty seconds after I woke up you looked like you were going to vow never to speak to me again, I just want to know what’s wrong”
“Nothings wrong” she snapped,
“Now that’s the understatement of the century right there Gin”
“You haven’t been there ok, I’m at the burrow putting up with my mum trying to persuade her to let me marry you and your not there to help me”
“That’s not my fault, if I could get out of here and away from the bickering healers I would, but there still insisting I need to stay here under observation because I was under a fever for a week and should be dead”
“You woke up and it was like nothing happened to you, like you’d just gone on a trip, I was preparing for your death too”
“You had a week of waiting I told you not to do, to come to terms with it – more then I had to wake up suddenly and not be dead anymore”
“Anything else that’s wrong with me you want to get out in the open while our engagement in up in the air?”
“There’s nothing wrong with you honey” he reached out to cup her cheek in his hand,
She frowned a little “Honey?”
“You don’t like it fine; I’ll call you Gin over and over again”
“It’s nice it’s just strange coming from you”
“I think your sweet – sometimes” he smiled and she blushed faintly,
“What the hell were we arguing for? I want to kiss you now!”
“Ha – my evil plan of distraction worked” he smiled a bit wider and she leant forward, getting up to perch on his knees sideways her arms snaking round his neck,
“We’re going to have to do a lot more then kiss soon” she whispered softly in his ear, giggling as he kissed her neck,
“When your brother leaves I’ll lock the door”
She kissed his lips, “What ever he wants he better make it quick” she kissed him again lingering slightly to break away but it was like she couldn’t give him up and went in for another, both there breathing picking up to pace that when he finally pulled away they were out of breath.
She grinned as Harry spoke “Hmm, you just taste too good” he smiled “We’d better let him in before he thinks you’ve killed me”
She smirked getting up to open the door, “What a way to die, your gonna go to hell for that kiss”
“I don’t mind” he smirked back, and Bill came in,
“Everything’s good right?”
“Perfect” Gin smiled sitting on the chair beside Harry and Bill sat on the bed,
“Alright – well I’m here for a reason you guys might not be so happy about”
Gin turned her face to a frown but Harry just looked at him as if to ask him to elaborate,
“I’m here for Gin”
“She sent you to get me instead of just waiting patiently for me to come home – I haven’t been gone that long, I told her where I was, what’s her problem?”
“You’ve been here two hours”
“So why didn’t she come?”
“She doesn’t think you’ll listen to her”
“Too right I wouldn’t, I haven’t seen him for two weeks, why would I listen to her through you?”
“Merlin knows, I just thought I’d come to see since non of your other brothers wanted to be the one you hate”
“I don’t hate you guys, I hate her”
“Gin – you don’t” Harry said “You’re just angry and we’ve talked about it, we said we’d wait to keep them happy”
“You said we’ll wait, I never said that and I never agreed, if I want to marry you I’m going to”
“Gin, go home”
“So that’s it, go home?” she said crossing her arms and staring at him,
He rolled his eyes, “You know what I mean, and you’re only going to make things worse with her if you avoid it”
“Can I stay at Grimmald place?” she said, and his eyes stared,
“Why would you want to go back there?”
“I don’t want to go back to the burrow”
“Then come and stay with me and Fleur” Bill suggested,
“No offense brother but I’d rather be in a old haunted house with Kreacher then spend more then an hour with your wife”
“And you said no offense” he chuckled
“Where will you go when you get out of here, Mums not going to let you come and stay with us after what she heard the other day – knowing what happened she’s not going to want us left alone” She started turning her attention back to Harry,
“Too much information sis” Bill muttered,
“Come on it’s not like it’s a crime” She sighed, “You’re a grown up, you’ve got Fleur around twenty four seven, I want the same with Harry, it’s only fair”
“I’ll camp in the woods near your house if will make you feel better” he grinned “I’ll go and stay at the leaky cauldron until the start of term again, and you know that once we’re back at school for that half a year we’ll be together”
“McGonagall said you guys could come back?!”
“Yeah – your mum didn’t tell you? – she told her before she came to see me”
“No she didn’t” Ginny muttered furiously,
“Don’t get mad” Bill started warningly,
“DON’T GET MAD, SHES KEEPING STUFF FROM ME, SHES KEEPING ME AWAY FROM MY FIANCÉ”
“Gin its fine; she was probably waiting for this to get sorted out first”
“There’s nothing to sort out, I’m going to Grimmald place, and you can tell her if she wants me to come home she has to get me”
“Gin!” she walked out Harry calling after her, “Stay there” he said to Bill, grabbing something from a draw and going after her. “Gin, come here”
She turned around in tears,
“Come here” he said holding out his arms and she ran into them, “You’ll need the key” he whispered softly in her ear, sliding it into her pocket “And McGonagall gave me this from my mother, she left it too me if anything happened to her” He stepped back and knelt down in front of her opening a small box in his hand, he smiled “So I’m gonna do this properly, officially and you can show your mum and dad I’m completely serious in going though with this”
“So ask” she smiled running her fingertips along his cheek,
“Ginny Weasley will you agree to marry me again?” he smiled and she laughed leaping on him forcing them to the floor in a kiss.
“Course I will” she giggled kissing him again, as soon as he slid the ring on her finger,
“MR POTTER!”
Ginny bit her lip looking up in front of her to see a healer tapping her foot and looking furious,
“Gin – this is the Healer in charge of the ward” Harry tried not to smile as he sat up turning his head to look at her as Ginny adjusted herself to sit half kneeling on his legs,
“Erm – sorry, I just got really excited” she held up her hand “He asked me to marry him – again” she giggled and wiggled her fingers, - She made a noise that sounded like she wasn’t the least bit impressed
“We’ll just get up now” She shuffled getting up and held out her hand to help him up,
“You’re supposed to be in bed”
“Yeah… look when can I go home, I feel fine and short of escaping – which I would do if you gave me my wand back – I don’t know what else you want with me”
“We’re still running tests”
“Tests on what, I’m alive isn’t that proof enough I’m ok?” he hugged Ginny to his side, she smiled happily as her brother came out and the healer walked away ignoring them,
“What’s going on?”
“Nothing” Ginny said quickly, “See you later” she tiptoed up and kissed his cheek and then sighed grabbing his cheek to kiss him properly. “Hell” she mumbled against his lips kissing him quickly again and wandering off down the hall nearly skipping along.
“Again – what’s going on?” Bill said looking between them as she left,
“Nothing” Harry said “She’s going home” he walked back into the room, “You should too, she’ll be fine”
“You too are ridiculous, the arguing and the making out it’s like watching Shakespeare including the deaths, the fake deaths and the crazy relationships”
“You know Shakespeare?”
“Muggle studies”
“Ahh – well we’re not quite Romeo and Juliet”
“Thankfully – you did verge on it slightly but I’m happy it’s more a comedy now” he smirked,
“Yeah” Harry mumbled guiltily “I’m gonna see if they’ll let me out of here soon” he grabbed a dressing gown from the door wrapping it around himself and leaving before he could let anything slip.
“Ok, see you later” Bill said in reply glancing at him worriedly before drawing his wand and apparating away.
He walked down to the healer’s station “Can I go home yet?”
“Erm…” the woman looked down a list of parchment, “She hasn’t checked your name off”
“Merlin let me out of here, I’m fine – I’ve told the ministry everything, I’m not sick, I’m not tired, I just want to go home”
He sighed “Tell you what Harry I’ll see what I can do”
“Please Cara, I’ve got a fiancée I want to go home to now” he grinned,
“You gave her the ring – Congrats – I hope I’m invited to the wedding though” she grinned,
“Course, you’re my only friend in this place – oh yeah can I have my wand back”

Oh I'm so happy you've posted. You hadn't in like forever! Ilove Ginny, she's too funny. I wish Molly and Arthur would let them be together. They got married at sixteen, why can't they. So is Harry going back to Hogwarts? I hope he gets out of st.Mungo's soon.
PAMS!

Chapter Twelve
She handed him his wand and his back pack of clothes “Get out of here then” she grinned,
“Thanks Cara” he grinned “She’s not going to stop me leaving again is she”
“Nope, you’re checked off, sorted and free” she grinned,
He looked at his watch, they hadn’t come to see where she was yet which meant Bill had gone to Shell cottage and not back to the Burrow.
He grinned went to his room changing to normal clothes and apparated to Grimmald place as Molly and Arthur came round the corner. He opened the door immediately engulfed by a whiff of chicken pie and then Kreacher appeared in front of him.
“Master Potter welcome home”
“Erm hi Kreacher” he looked around as he disappeared “Ginny” he called out,
“Harry!” she grinned coming up the stairs from the basement kitchen, “Your out of there, what did you do fight the old bag”
“No, I got checked out” her arms snaked round his waist pulling him closer, “You’re not cooking down there are you?”
“God no, Kreacher is, I got hungry” she shrugged, tiptoeing up to kiss him.
“How about desert before dinner” Harry smirked,
“Hells getting closer” she giggled as his lips pressed against her neck, his hand in her hair and the other pulled her in as close as possible,
“I can feel the flames licking at my feet” he whispered in her ear smoothly and she pulled his head across to meet hers before he lifted her off the floor into his arms and carried her up the stairs.
***
Ginny woke up in his arms, but he was already looking down at her smiling,
“Didn’t you sleep at all after that?”
“A bit” he smiled running his hand through her hair “I was too busy thinking about how I wanna stay here, with you forever an ever and ever-”
“- Shut up” she grinned reaching up to kiss him, when there was a banging on the door.
Harry swore, Ginny called up Kreacher and sent him to the basement before he could open the door,
“Don’t move, stay here” Ginny said with a smile and another kiss “I’m going to sort it out, your not even here” She smirked wrapping the sheet around her and wandering to the bathroom to pull on clothes, he yanked on boxers standing in the doorway watching,
“How did you get in then?”
“I stole this from you” she waved the key and wandered down the stairs adjusting her hair as she went.
She opened the door, to Arthur and Molly standing there,
“So you’re not dead then”
“That’s an over reaction mother” Ginny started crossing her arms,
“We couldn’t get through by fireplace or apparition, you didn’t go to the burrow or shell cottage or the leaky cauldron so it was try this or the hospital again and since he’s no longer a patient we can only assume he’s here too”
“He’s here”
“He’s basically kidnapped you” Molly started accusingly following her into the house and through to the living room
Ginny rolled her eyes “He’s my fiancé and I’ve just come to stay here for a couple of days of my own free will” and flopped onto the couch, “He didn’t know I was here until he got checked out and realised I’d took the key”
“You should have asked our permission” Arthur said annoyed
“You wouldn’t have agreed to it”
“Too right” Molly added angrily,
“Yes, that is why I’m here now”
“And him, where is he?”
“He’s in bed” she muttered “He didn’t get much sleep in Mungo’s”
“He hasn’t had much sleep since he got back here though has he” Molly muttered,
“No he hasn’t” she replied
“Ginny” Arthur said and looked like he was ready to cover his ears and start humming,
“I’m sorry dad but it’s got to be said, he’s going to be my husband you can’t just see him as any other teenage boy”
“That’s exactly what he is, he’s a teenage boy who doesn’t know what he’s doing, he’s only alive two weeks and he’s rushing himself and you into this”
“He’s not rushing me, technically he was still alive that week he was lying there and if this wasn’t what I wanted I would have said no, he’s told me that he doesn’t want to waste his second chance at life and I’m what he wants, when he proposed he said that, he said I’m what he’s always wanted and I’ve known since I first saw him he was what I wanted too”
“So why can’t you wait, neither of you are going anywhere, take your time”
“Because we’ve waited long enough to get what we want”
“I want to speak to him, go and get him from his hiding place”
“He’s not hiding, I told him to stay there so I could explain and you wouldn’t abuse him”
“Go and get him Ginerva” Arthur said and turned to Molly as if to talk to her once she left the room.
Ginny sighed and trudged up the stairs, Harry met her in the hallway from where he’d been listening via an extendable ear,
“They want to interrogate you”
“Once your seventeen we don’t need there permission, just think about that ok” he smiled and hugged her,
“Up until they die I’m still going to have to have it before I can do anything”
“Your being over dramatic again” he smirked kissing her forehead,
“Shut up and put some clothes on before you come downstairs” she pushed him away but he still had his arms round her waist and pulled her into him again,
“I could just come down like this” he murmured, nuzzling her neck with his nose and kissing it as she relaxed in his hold,
“I wouldn’t mind – mum might” her hand slid up and down his bare arm as the other held his head, gripping the mass of jet black hair and giggling girlishly.
“Go on then tell them I’ll be right down” he grinned kissing her and releasing her from his grip,
“Hmm” she sighed, turning to go and smiled looking back “Save me a spot in hell won’t you”
“Sure thing” he smirked going back into the room and dressing as she floated down the stairs in her own little world. He wandered down moments later when she’d been sitting in silence after hearing them discuss them and not liking what she heard in the slightest.
“We can’t agree to this madness”
“Molly it isn’t that bad, there is something-”
“She’s sixteen she can’t marry him”
“He’s Harry, he’s trustworthy”
“He’s taking her away from us, she’s still a child”
“She’s young but she’s got a good head on her shoulders, she’s as determined as you are”
“And as ruled by her heart as you are”
“And what’s wrong with that, we both saw her sitting there waiting for him, he’s come back to life for her”
“So you’re saying this is right that them making the biggest mistake of there life is ok”
“Granted I’m not happy about it, but I don’t see how we can stop them short of holding her hostage in the house”
She walked in and they went quiet, she sat down crossed her arms and curled her legs up on the couch opposite them. Harry came in “Mr Weasley, Mrs Weasley”
“Harry” Arthur started but stopped when Harry plonked casually beside Ginny, and she twisted to curl up against him instead of the arm rest on the other side, her head leaning on his shoulder.
“Harry” he started again “We’re concerned you’re not taking this seriously”
“I’m completely serious, I want to marry Ginny, she has my mothers ring, and she’s the only woman I’ll ever love”
“That’s the issue, she’s not a woman”
“Mum!” Ginny protested angrily,
“She is” Harry said firmly “She’s made her choice, she thought about the decision before she accepted me, she’s not a child, she’s a woman and I know you want her to be your little girl forever but she will be to you, just not to everyone else”
Molly didn’t know how to reply and Arthur smiled at him as he spoke again,
“I love her, and I should have asked you first but I knew it was the right thing, the only thing to do to show her I wasn’t going anywhere again, that I was hers and I wasn’t and am not going to leave her, when your sure about something its easy to take your time, but we both know this is right and we don’t want to wait to show how committed we are to each other”
Ginny hugged his torso wrapping her arms around him tightly but gently as he held her back with a small smile,
“Alright” Molly caved in to the pressure, “You do this, but you don’t have my help”
“I don’t want your help I want your blessing” Ginny said,
“Then you have it” Molly stood up, “Lets go, you can collect your belongings from the Burrow by the end of the week Ginny”
Ginny looked at Harry, it looked like they were living here then, “Fine” she added as he nodded. Arthur looked between his wife and daughter worried,
“Molly what are you doing?”
“She’s grown up, she can move out, and get a job put herself through the last year at school and be with him” Molly said simply walking to the door,
“Is it ok?” Ginny asked Harry quietly,
“Course, if you want to that is”
“I’m set on marrying you, sure I wanna live with you” she grinned,
“See settled” Molly snapped and walked out the door apparating on the step, Arthur spared them a glance in the doorway and then apparated after her.
“We ok - I mean - this is -”
He leaned in and kissed her cutting off her words,
“We’re good” he let her go “I’m hungry – you think that pies still ok?”
“I really couldn’t care less” she grinned pulling him towards her with his collar, “I know what I want for dinner”
“Hmm” he smirked kissing her passionately, “This is never gonna get old”
She entangled herself with him as close as possible and he lifted her up, attempted to move backwards to balance but they hit the couch and she broke into giggles as they fell onto it, her lying on top of him. Harry laughed kissing her again but he lifted himself up at the torso “But I’m gonna need summat in my stomach if you don’t want me to burn out”
“Fine, eat” she sighed, getting up and perching on the arm, “I’ll wait right here” she smirked, taking off her t-shirt as he stood up, he looked torn for a second but then his stomach growled, she started to laugh and slid down to lie on the couch, bending her leg at the knee and untying her hair seductively,
“Gimme like a minute” he said staring and sprinted down the stairs.
She stretched out hearing the cutlery draws open, the silence as he ate and then grinned hearing the tap go as he grabbed a drink before his footsteps came up the stairs.
“You good?” she asked,
“Nearly”
***
Ginny yawned and slipped her arms into his t-shirt hearing the knocking on the door, Kreacher was greeting them before it was to late to stop them from coming in the house so she woke him up urgently,
“Harry – Harry we’ve got company”
“Tell them to get lost” he yawned,
“I think it’s Hermione and Ron” she shook him “Put some clothes on before he comes in and kills you”
“Ginny?” Ron’s voice sounded, but his footsteps went up the stairs,
“Harry!” she hissed,
“Yeah, yeah” he grabbed his jeans, forgetting boxers which she then threw at him,
“Hold on” she called out and peeked round the door,
“Gin what’s – oh” Hermione smirked looking her up and down, “We’ll come back later”
“No, wait there, I’ll sort out sleepy head and we’ll be right out” she smiled closing the door, and tugging on her jeans,
“T-shirt” he smirked holding out a hand,
“Oh yeah” she chuckled taking it off and handing it to him and then reaching to yank on her own,
“Come here quick” he grinned,
“Why?”
“Your hair” he smirked smoothing it out with his fingers,
“I spoke to Hermione!”
“She’ll understand, Ron won’t” he kissed her quickly and then opened the door as she threw the cushions back on the couch.
“Let’s go down to the kitchen” Ginny suggested abandoning the mess and closing the door to stand beside him blushing,
“Sure” Hermione said and then called up the stairs “Ron!”
“What?” he apparated to her side and then saw them standing there “Oh where were you guys?”
“Come on” Harry said and led the way down the stairs ignoring the question, they sat round the table Ron launching into it,
“Mums mad, what’s going on exactly?”
“I’m living here now” she shrugged,
“Say that again”
“I’m living here now”
“Nope you’re going to have to try again”
“Ron” Ginny sighed “I’m living here, mum is kicking me out as of tomorrow and I’m moving in with Harry” she smiled and he kissed her cheek affectionately,
“Right…”
“Ron” Harry started “We’re getting married you know that, so its only natural for us to live together – it’s not like we were going to get married and live at the Burrow”
“We weren’t – huh” Ginny said with the pretence of looking surprised and then laughed along with Hermione and Harry,
“But getting married, I mean we’re going back to school I thought you’d be engaged for a while, Gin you don’t want to go back to school as a married girl, it would be weird”
“Married woman, and it wouldn’t be weird, I’m not suddenly going to stop being Ginny because I’m getting hitched”
“But – but”
“Ron take a deep breath and think about it” Hermione said
“You’re my little sister, getting married is a big enough thing, and I thought if I said it was ok you’d at least be waiting to do it, and moving in together – you’re only sixteen”
She ignored the pressing rage from him telling her how young she was and the jab in her chest at being called his ‘little sister’ and spoke “We’d wait if we wanted to; mind you we actually haven’t set a date so-”
Ron cutting in with “- Then give it at least till Harry’s finished school”
“You’ll need time to plan” Hermione said “I mean I can’t help you organise the wedding of the century in less then a month”
Ginny’s face broke into a huge grin “Your gonna help”
“Course, I’m a bridesmaid aren’t I?”
“Maid of honour – I mean if you want to be”
Hermione squealed happily, Ginny jumped up to hug her, and Harry laughed as Ron just scowled,
“So after I’ve finished school ok, the summer holidays sound good?” Harry started as she sat beside him again,
“Yeah, keeps mum from going completely nuts give her some time to decide if she wants to come or not”
“What do you mean if she’s going to come?”
“She’s kicking me out, she’s given her permission but by what’s she’s saying it doesn’t look like she’ll actually want to come to the wedding – she’s the only one against it, Bill’s happy, the twins said the same at dinner the other night, Charlie sent a card and Percy, well Percy’s Percy, he hasn’t said anything”
“And Dad, he was all against it”
“I think he’s coming round to it” Harry said “He wasn’t so pleased with Molly when they left”
“Great” Ron muttered,
“Haven’t you been home?”
“For about five minutes… we spent the day in Diagon alley, we got back to the Burrow and got the news you were released from angry mum, went to see Hermione’s parents and then came here”
“Hmm” Ginny yawned and leant against Harry, they kept talking but when he looked down feeling his arm growing heavier he laughed and rolled his eyes, she’d fallen asleep.
“Be right back” he adjusted her to lift her up and carried her up to bed.
“Harry” she mumbled,
“Shhh go back to sleep” He smiled and kissed her forehead,
“Kay” she smiled and then fell back into her slumber, he shook his head and then wandered down the stairs and back to the kitchen,
“So…” Ron said, looking at the table,
Harry looked at him guiltily “Yeah, yeah, go ahead and ask”
“Are you guys...”
“Yeah”
“Right - and – I mean …”
“Ron, please don’t ask him anything else” Hermione said, “You’re making him nervous and your ears scarlet”
“Thanks” Harry mumbled to her,
“You need a hand to move her stuff?”
“Yeah, that would be great thanks”
“Ok, we’ll see you then” Ron said, getting up quickly like he was ready to escape,
“Sure” Harry waved them goodbye and then sighed before wandering upstairs to fall asleep noticing she’d woken up to put pj’s on and then fell back into her coma. He changed, kissed her cheek and fell asleep beside her.

Chapter Thirteen
Four day’s later and avoiding the Burrow as much as they could manage before the time limit was up. She wanted to stay away but she also didn’t want to keep living out a suitcase, he wanted to get the move over with but she wanted to make her mum nervous.
Ginny woke up, stretched out and then rolled over to fall out of the bed. “Owww”
Harry sat up with the sound of the thump and fumbled for his glasses, “Gin?” he looked around not seeing her anywhere,
“Down here”
He leapt over to her, “Are you ok?”
“I think – ouch – I think I’ve broken my arm”
“We’d better get you some skelegrow”
“Mum has some”
“Ok” he helped her up carefully as she held her arm across her chest,
“You have a scarf or something I never got the hang of conjuring bandages – wait a sec” he riffled through his backpack and pulled out his school scarf, securing it around her shoulder and arm,
“Thankyou” she kissed his cheek, “Mum can’t say you don’t look after me”
“She’ll say it’s my fault?”
“She’ll have to find a reason too; maybe we should just go to Mungo’s save the hassle”
“You’re sure?”
“Yeah, we can check if it’s actually broken then”
“Ok” he pulled on jeans over his boxers and picked up a t-shirt off the floor,
“Tell me what you’ve got that we can get on that arm”
“Erm… my underwear and jeans first then we’ll figure out the arm”
“Alright” he held them for her to manoeuvre into trying to make it as easy for her arm as possible,
“And lets try my shirt” he put it on her good arm, she adjusted herself and her arm to put it inside the other one cringing before putting it comfortably back in the scarf,
“Can you?” she gestured to her pumps and he brought them over for her to slip her feet in with a smile and a kiss before he pulled on trainers and grabbed his wand taking her hand,
“Ok?”
“Yep”
They arrived in the reception, went through all the fuss of sorting it out, and left with her arm in a proper sling and bandage with the taste of skelegrow on her lips. They got to the Burrow, and Molly didn’t pay any attention to them coming in the house until she saw the white sling,
“What happened to you?”
“I broke my arm; it’s not a big deal”
Molly glared at Harry “How?”
“I fell out of bed this morning” Ginny said staring at her to make her attention change direction, “Harry could you go and rope in Ron while I talk to mum?”
“Sure” he kissed the top of her head and wandered up the stairs,
“Ginny”
“I woke up, I rolled over and I landed on it when I hit the floor, complete accident, Harry was asleep, he heard the thump secured my arm, dressed me and took me to the hospital – he’s took care of me and it, and I’m fine”
“Humph”
“Accidents happen, I’m not a kid anymore you don’t have to go nuts and wrap me up in bandages, and it’ll be healed completely by tomorrow”
“But”
Ginny rolled her eyes and walked up the stairs to see Harry talking to Ron and Hermione,
“What happened to you?”
“Broke it, fell out of bed, don’t ask” She said firmly, Ron held his hands up and backed off as she rammed the door with her good hand and went into her room, Harry followed her in nervously but looked to Hermione “Give us a minute” he smiled and closed the door behind him,
“What did she say?”
“She doesn’t trust you”
“Did she say that outright or are you assuming?”
“She didn’t have to say it outright; it was the way she looked”
“Did you actually give her a chance to talk?”
“Well… no, but”
“Gin, she’s not suddenly going to change her mind”
“She doesn’t think you’re going to look after me, that this is your fault” she lifted up the arm and then cringed in pain,
“Don’t move it” he held her arm gently and tightened the loosened sling at her neck, “She just trying to find a reason and that’s ok, because when she realises that we’re meant to be together she’ll stop”
“How can you be so sure about that?”
“Because I’m sure about you, and you are like her – don’t get mad – but you are, you’re stubborn, fiery, passionate but I love you and she’ll know that eventually”
He said and stepped back but she stepped towards him, “Stubborn, fiery and passionate?”
“Very”
“What else?”
“Well sexy but that only applies to you”
“I’d be worried otherwise”
“Hmm” Harry smirked, wrapping an arm round her waist, “We’d better let them in”
“Do we have too?”
“No but I’m guessing if your mum walks in she’s not going to be happy either”
“Ruin the moment” she muttered, and let go of him trying to pull away, he kept a hold
“Gin”
“Don’t”
“Ginny” he pulled her in at the waist but only close enough that her arm didn’t hit his chest,
She looked down; she felt her eyes watering,
“Don’t cry, something’s wrong if you’re crying”
“I’m fine”
“No your not” gently his finger lifted up her chin so her face, her eyes looked up at him and he wiped her cheeks with his thumb, “So I’m gonna make it better, I’m gonna talk to her” he kissed her lips softly “Don’t interfere, start packing I’ll be back in a minute”
“You don’t want to do that”
“I do” he kissed her again “For you” and again “So get over it” he smiled and let go walking away
“Fine” she muttered watching him go,
He stepped out to see them waiting “Help Gin will you guys, I’ve got to talk to Molly”
“Why?” Ron asked as Hermione went inside,
“Just to explain something’s – don’t worry about it mate”
“Good luck” he smiled and wandered over to the room,
Harry walked down the stairs and stood for a moment watching Molly, she had her back to him her wand out chopping vegetables and boiling a pan of water.
“It’s vegetable soup for lunch Ron”
“It’s not Ron”
He sat at the table and she turned around, she looked surprised and then quickly turned back to the vegetables,
“Mrs Weasley?”
“Yes”
“I’m sorry”
“For what?” she said turning around again
“For loving Ginny”
“What’s there to apologise for?”
“She needs you but because I love her you won’t have anything to do with her”
“It’s not like that”
“Then what is it that you don’t trust in me”
“She’s my baby” Molly said moving to pull out a chair and sitting down across from him, “My only girl, my youngest child, you don’t know what its like to give a child away, to trust someone else to look after her”
“But you can see she’s happy with me can’t you, isn’t that she trusts me and loves me back enough?” She didn’t reply, “You’ve known me since I was eleven, I’ve spent summers here, you’ve become my family, you and Arthur are like the parents I never got to know, you’ve looked after me when no one else wanted to, there’s no reason for you not to trust me with her”
“That only makes it harder, you never showed her any attention to her, she was crazy about you and you were oblivious”
“She was Ron’s little sister, she was out of bounds”
“She still is Ron’s little sister and my daughter, just because it’s legal -”
“- it’s not like that, me and Gin have been together since last year, I kept telling myself that it wasn’t right to feel so much for her because it would put her in danger from Voldemort and that Ron would kill me if he found out, that you and Arthur wouldn’t approve of me liking her just as much as she liked me”
“Last year was not so long ago”
“When you walked in on us talking in the hospital wing it was – it was about the first and only time we’d - me coming back to her before I went to Voldemort, that was me saying goodbye, she understood that, she instigated it and I haven’t forced her to do anything since our first kiss in the middle of a packed common room, I said it before and I know its not easy for a parent to hear but she’s not a little girl anymore and it’s not just because of me”
“Harry”
“Just hear me out please”
She paused to let him continue,
“We’re holding off the wedding until I’ve finished school and she turns seventeen, but I know she wants you there no matter what you say even though its looking more and more likely that you won’t come, we’re not stupid we just know that getting married, it’s the most powerful way to show that we’re meant to be together-”
“- I’m not going to say I approve of it”
“I don’t expect you too; I’m just asking you, for Ginny’s sake to think about it, please”
Molly stood up and turned her attention back to the vegetables; Harry took it as his cue to leave wandering up the stairs, one hand rubbing his tired face the other guiding him up with the banister. He opened the door to her room to see them surrounded by boxes and Hermione and Ron wands out levitating stuff into them and Ginny sitting on the bed cross legged looking through a photo album.
“What you got?” he said looking over her shoulder at the pictures,
She flicked to the last page and it was a photo of them locked in a kiss under the big oak tree beside the lake.
“When – how did you get that without me even realising?” he grinned,
“Colin” she smirked “He gave it too me first week back, he said I looked upset, that I must be missing you - he was right by the way - so he gave me this, said he’d taken it and was going to use it for his exhibition because he thought it was a perfect picture”
“He actually looks like he was stalking us”
“You didn’t notice him at all then?”
Harry looked between the three of them “When?”
“All the time” Hermione said laughing, “Before you and Gin it was just you then it was ‘Harry and Ginny are perfect’, he wanted as many pictures as he could of the couples in the school for his big show, but you two were his greatest obsession”
“How could you not realise?” Ginny said,
“Well by the nature of the pictures I’d say I was distracted” he said with a grin,
“I was pretty distracted too but I noticed” Ginny said with a laugh, “He got Hermione and Ron too though” she smirked,
Hermione stared at her “What? When? I mean me and Ron we’re friends why would he take a picture?”
“I bought it, his first sold work” Ginny smiled waving a photo at her,
“Let me see that” Harry said and reached for it before Hermione could, Ginny handed it over,
“Pretty perfect too if I might say so” Ginny grinned, Ron flushed red as did Hermione,
“Colin’s really good, maybe we should hire him” Harry suggested staring at the photo, it was Hermione and Ron staring off in different directions sitting on a bench, but there hands were just touching and both were smiling in the black and white colouring.
“Definitely” Ginny said taking the photo back and handing it to Hermione, She took one look, blushed and left the room. “Ron”
“Yeah” he had his face in the wardrobe,
“You might want to go after her” Harry added,
“Nope”
“Erm…” Ginny started and handed him the picture,
“She’ll come back in a minute” he said and shrugged handing the picture back,
“Ron” Gin said “I don’t think -”
“She’ll be back, don’t bring it up again ok”
“Ok” Harry muttered, he and Ginny exchanged glances and kept quiet.

Chapter Fourteen
Harry flopped on the bed as she put the last book in the box. Now just to move it all, Hermione had come back in a half hour ago and was sending them downstairs and through the fireplace to Ron waiting in the living room of Grimmald place.
“Get up lazy, I’ve done more then you and I’ve only got one arm and no wand” Ginny grinned,
“Yeah, yeah” he chuckled, and reached out for her waist pulling her in to him,
“Stop it” she grinned stepping forward to regain her balance,
“Nope”
“Harry behave” she giggled as he rolled to pull her in and land on top of him, she kissed him and then pushed her self up with her good hand on his chest to sit on his legs, knees either of his thighs,
“Love you” he smiled looking up at her,
“Love you too” she smiled and lent down to kiss him. The bedroom door closed, her lips didn’t reach his again, and she sighed and swore under her breath sitting up,
“I’ve messed up right?” He said with a sigh,
“No, Ron has” she replied, patting his chest and getting up “I’m gonna talk to him”
“He said to leave it”
“But-”
He reached out for her hand “He said to leave it Gin, we shouldn’t interfere”
“Can’t we just give them a nudge?”
He swung round to stand up still with a hold on her hand, “If I talk to him he’ll listen, with you he’ll just get irritated and annoyed”
“What?”
“You tend to make him angrier Gin”
“Right”
“Don’t take it like that”
“How’d you want me to take it, happily?”
“No, it’s just you’re his sister, he doesn’t want to listen to you so he won’t – its genetics its not your fault, whereas if I have a go it could just be a talk between mates and he won’t get all nuts about it”
“Ok, but if he doesn’t listen you let me -”
“If he doesn’t listen I’ll let you at him” he cupped her cheeks with his hands and kissed her softly just as lunch was called,
“You think we’re allowed to eat here?” Ginny asked with a smirk,
“I never asked”
“What did you talk about?”
“I made my case” his arms rested on her shoulders “Asked her to think about something’s”
She looked at him “Specifically?”
“Just to consider that I’m not trying to steal you from her”
“Steal what!”
“You’re her daughter, her only daughter; consider what it feels like for her to let you go to a guy that’s sleeping with you”
“She needs to get over it”
“Gin don’t be so hard on her, she’s just not ready to lose you but you’re pushing her away”
“Lose – she’s not going to lose me, just because I’m with you doesn’t mean I don’t want to be her daughter”
“You should talk to her about it”
“She won’t listen”
“You try with her, I’ll speak to Ron”
She shook her head,
“You try with her or no more of me for you” he smirked letting go,
“No” she whined, “Don’t do that” her hand sliding down his chest, “I’ll try ok” she tiptoed up to kiss him but the door opened a few seconds into it,
“Oh – erm lunch” Ron said awkwardly,
“Didn’t think we were invited” Ginny said only letting go to replace her good arm around his lower back,
“She’s put out bowls for you guys and asked me to get you”
“We’ll be right down” Ginny smiled for a split second turning to Harry, “Let me just finish telling him off…’
“Gross sis” Ron moaned stepping back to the door,
“Get over it Ronald” she smiled pulling Harry’s head down at the neck to meet her face in a passionate kiss with the intent to annoy him,
“You guys are just way to – to”
“Conspicuous, yeah I know” Harry grinned breaking away “But she’s just so hot”
“Why thankyou sweetheart”
“Arghhh, no not about my little sister Harry”
“She’s not your little sister, she’s my fiancée” he smirked as Ron rolled his eyes, leaving the room, “Come on before he pukes everywhere”
“Shut up mate” Ron smiled jokingly leading the way down the stairs as they followed on hand in hand.
Lunch was silent and when it was finished Ginny yawned but Harry gave her a look. She rolled her eyes at him but he stuck out his tongue, ‘fine’ she mouthed ‘go on then’ and gestured her head to Ron.
“Ron will you give us a hand with the last of her stuff”
“Sure” they walked up the stairs and went inside her room. Ginny was sitting still at the table resisting the urge to run, but she had to keep her end of the bargain.
“Mum”
“Yes Ginny” Molly turned to the sink piling the bowls she had levitated off the table inside,
“Harry told me he talked to you”
“He did”
“Did you listen to him?”
“I did, but this is up to you”
“What’s up to me? Whether you come to my wedding or not? Whether you accept us as a couple – as part of the family again?”
“I can’t pretend everything’s alright, that you marrying him is a good idea”
“What’s wrong with him, he’s Harry, we’ve known him years, he’s responsible, he decent and polite and he loves me and he won’t hurt me”
“He has already, you’ve just skipped over the fact he broke you and left you staring at a wall for two days”
“He left to save me and to make sacrificing himself to a psychopath easier, I can understand that, I don’t count it because if I wasn’t so attached to him I would have been fine, I would have let go and then if he came back to life then and only then could you tell me that marrying him would not be a good idea because then I’d wouldn’t deserve him”
Molly turned round from staring out the window “Deserve him - Ginny he doesn’t deserve you”
“There is no one that loves me more then Harry does and no one ever will” Ginny said coldly standing up, Molly sighed, “He is everything to me and I know I’m everything to him”
“Just because-”
“Because what, because I’m sleeping with him, because we’re living together, because we’re getting married, because I’m wearing his mothers ring, because he tells me everyday that he loves me, doesn’t make us together true or right in your eyes”
“I’ve already given my permission”
“We’re waiting till I’m seventeen, we don’t need it and I don’t want it” she said storming off outside, not waiting to see what her mother did.
***
“Ron will you give us a hand with the last of her stuff”
“Sure” they walked up the stairs and went inside her room.
“So how have things been?”
“I’m adjusting to the idea of my best friend marrying my sister if that’s what you mean”
“It’s not that big a thing to get your head round is it?”
“I guess I could see it coming – just not so soon, thought you’d give us a couple more years notice”
“When summat is right” Harry said with a smile, piling up the last three boxes in the corner of the virtually empty room,
“Hmm”
“What about you, I mean Lav- Lav hasn’t been hanging around so there’s gotta be someone else”
“Or there’s no one else, I’ve got you, Gin and Hermione I don’t really want a girlfriend to be attached at the hip with right now”
“What is going on with Hermione, you guys seem really tense around each other all of a sudden” he knew it wasn’t all of a sudden, everyone could see there relationship building over the years, the pain she’d gone through when he dated the human vacuum cleaner watching with disgust as she tried to suck Ron’s face off.
“There’s nothing, we’re still just friends”
“Don’t you like her more then that” Harry said nonchalantly reaching under the bed for a left behind shoe,
“What would make you think that?” Ron asked folding his arms,
“That face you’re pulling, the way you’re talking, the goo - goo look you get every time I see you stare at her – just because I seem busy with Gin doesn’t mean we don’t notice you too are in a deadlock”
“She’s the white queen, she makes the first move, we haven’t even started the game yet and we’re in stalemate over how to do it”
“It’s not chess Ron”
“Feels like it”
“You wanna say something to her before she gives up completely”
“What do I say – what did you say to Ginny?”
“With Gin I didn’t really have to say anything she already knew, Hermione likes you, she just doesn’t know if you like her back – with that picture and everything else I’d say it’s obvious you do, its just telling her that”
“What I just go up to her and say ‘I like you’ it sounds stupid”
“You say that an I can guarantee she’ll leap on you and tell you she likes you too”
“’Hermione’s not the leaping kind of girl”
“That’s how you knew she’d come back in then”
“She goes off to think about everything – she doesn’t have a library to escape to here so she sits in Percy’s old room”
“Go and talk to her will you”
“What, just like that?
“Yeah or Gin’s going to get mad at you”
“Huh”
“She wants to shout at you, I persuaded her otherwise for now”
“Hmm, thanks” he muttered,
“Ron” Harry held out a hand to him, he shook it hesitantly and then pulled him into a hug,
“You’re gonna be my brother in law is that weird?” Ron asked,
“Not in the slightest, we’ve been brothers for a while” Harry said stepping back from it,
“Didn’t think of it like that, but you have basically lived with us”
“Thanks for letting me in”
“Couldn’t leave you with the Dursley’s could I” Ron said with a smirk heading to the door, “I’ll see you guys later, hopefully with some good news”
“Good luck” Harry said and levitated the last load out the door and down the stairs as Ron walked up to knock at Percy’s door. Harry looked around the kitchen in one glance and saw that things weren’t right, it was empty for one thing and there was a plate broken in the sink. He left the boxes on the table and saw that the living room door was closed. He heard a rhythmic thump every few seconds saw Ginny sitting on the step outside the back door kicking a gnome each time it attempted to tackle and bite her foot relentlessly. He walked out side and reached down picking the creature up by its feet swinging it; around releasing it and watching it land the other side of the fence.
“Nice throw, not enough to beat my record though” Ginny smirked,
“Oh well, as long as you’ve got all your toes”
She chuckled half-heartedly as he sat down beside her an arm round her waist as she placed her head along side his collar bone. She shuffled in closer putting her legs on his; he smiled and lifted her gently off the ground so she sat on his lap curled around him,
“What happened?” he asked watching her good left fist clench around a handful of his t-shirt at his chest and his hand stroked her hair softly,
“She’s not going to stop me marrying you”
“She said she would?”
“She said you didn’t deserve me”
“I don’t” he said simply, “No guy ever deserves the girl they love because their perfect to them, we just hope we’re enough”
“Of course your enough, your more then enough, you’re my everything don’t ever forget that” she gripped him in a hug,
“I won’t” he kissed the top of her head,
“What happened to Ron?”
“He’s talking to her now, he said he’d come round later”
“Ok – can we sit here for a bit though?”
“Sure, take as long as you need”
“Thanks” She smiled looking out, “I have a question though”
“Yep”
“Are we going to stay at Grimmald place and clean it up to first home quality or find somewhere else?”
“I was considering selling it, but being there with you is a lot different to being there alone”
“Do you want to stay there?”
“Do you?” he asked,
“It’s your house it’s up to you what you do with it”
“It’s our house, but I think we need to find our home”
“Makes sense, so we clean it up and sell it and find our home”
“Yeah – but do you want to keep Kreacher”
“Kreacher wouldn’t be parted from the house plus he knows a lot of things he shouldn’t”
“He has to go where his master goes though – what about Hogwarts then, he could keep Dobby company” Harry suggested “Or we let the new owners decide if they want him or not”
“Harry potters house elf of course they will, they’ll want him to tell them everything he knows”
“Sure they will, what my favourite meal is, what time I get up in the morning, what I eat for breakfast and how picky I am when he dusts the fireplace” He said with a raised eyebrow,
She stuck her tongue out, “You just don’t know how famous you are, the thing is now no one knows what I am to you, when I came to see you in hospital the woman at the desk didn’t believe I was your girlfriend, I had to tell her about your birthmark to convince her” she poked his hip,
“Hmm, we’ll have to sort that out, how about a party?” he grinned “Celebrate are engagement properly?”
“Thought we’d done that”
“Ok then – officially and publically” he smirked “Invite everyone we know, spread the word that your gonna be stuck with me for life soon”
“I rather be stuck with you then anyone else”
“And that’s why I call you honey” he smiled; she stroked his cheek with her fingertips, smiled and kissed him.
“Ok a party it is; let’s go then before she comes out to stop me”
She got up and he did following her inside, he shrunk the boxes and put them in his pocket,
“Why didn’t we do that before? Why didn’t Hermione suggest it?”
“I’m guessing she just wanted to spend some more time with you Gin and I agreed so we could at least try with your mum”
“You guys tricked me”
“Just a little bit” he smiled,
She frowned, “Fine”
“Knew you’d say that” he laughed to himself, and she shoved him with her good shoulder,
“A week” she said menacingly and he understood his eyes staring at her,
“Gin”
“A week” she grinned,
“Come on”
“Nope”
“What are you doing to him for a week that’s got him so anxious?”
“It’s what I’m not” and pushed him backwards into the grate with a grin before throwing the floo powder at his feet. He said the destination and disappeared in the green flames with a smile, while Percy looked horrified still standing in the doorway,
“Don’t make that face brother” She wandered over and gave him a one armed hug “See you later” before throwing in her own handful of dust and jumping into emerald flames.
“Were you serious?”
“Yes”
“Aww” he took the boxes out and put them on the floor with the rest “Now to unpack” he pointed to the boxes with his wand and they went back to there original size, she came up behind him one arm around his middle,
“You know it all depends on whether I can hold off”
“And we know you’re not stubborn or wilful”
“Not at all” she took off the sling and put the other arm round him,
“All healed are we?” he turned in her arms,
“Hmm” she smiled, “Better then ever”
He grinned “Brilliant” And she tiptoed up to meet him in a kiss.
“Not for you” she grinned, letting go “And you’re still not getting any – not tonight anyway”
“Aww come on” he reached for her but she put a box in his hand,
“Bedroom” she smirked,
I sighed at her “Any others?”
“All I guess, unless…”
“Unless what?”
“Well some of my stuff is pretty useless so we could just leave it in boxes in a spare room”
“Sure”
“So I just really need clothes and school stuff”
“We can set up a spare room as a study” he suggested,
“Sweet, so I really just need my suitcase in our room – is there room in the wardrobe for me?”
“I’m gonna throw my clothes out and invest in some that aren’t Dudley’s throwbacks and scraps I’ve collected”
“Good, let’s start on that tomorrow”
He stared “So soon?”
“You want me to find you more attractive then I do already?”
“We go early tomorrow” he smirked and apparated up the stairs with the box.
She ran up dragging the suitcase,
“Ginny?!” he called out hearing the noise and then thumps, “What happened – are you ok?”
“Hurting myself again”
“Why didn’t you leave it for me to get” he said looking down over the banister to her on the stairs,
“I wanted to get up to you before you went down again”
“Do I dare ask why?” he said walking down to meet her, she was sitting on the step holding her stomach,
“I wanted to kiss you”
“Silly, you can kiss me anytime you want” he lifted her up, “Where are you hurt?”
“I just landed funny, I’m ok” she stood up and he held her too him,
“Are you sure?”
“I’m fine, I promise”
“Alright” he let go, “Let me take it” And grabbed it “You were running with this – it’s the contents of your wardrobe” he lifted it up with one arm easily, but he had muscles from a longer Quiditch career and a lifetime of fighting evil so he guessed it was heavy.
“I know, I know”
He took her hand and fiddled with his wand so he was holding it and apparated them into the bedroom, she gripped her lower belly and side,
“Gin” he said urgently as she heaved,
“Don’t apparate me again”
“We’re going to Mungo’s”
“I’m fine, just the bump knocked the wind out of me” He sat her on the bed,
“Gin”
“Seriously Harry, I’m fine, don’t worry about it”
“If you say so”
“I do, so give me what I hurt myself for” He sat down beside her a hand on her cheek; he leaned in “Love you” She smiled,
“Love you too” He kissed her softly, “Don’t do anything at all now please”
“Alright” He gently put his hands on her shoulders and made her lie back, she rolled on to her good side to be more comfortable and smiled at him, “I’ll just tell you what to do then?”
“Sure” He grinned, getting up and opened her suitcase,
“So we have -” he paused holding up a silky nightdress “-what is this?”
“A present from Fleur… she thought we’d appreciate it, it was for Christmas”
“I was kind of absent then wasn’t I?”
“Yes, I didn’t get to give you my present”
“We’ve had a few days and I think you’ve pretty much got it covered”
“Nope, look under the jeans”
He did as he was told and lifted out a small black box, “What’s this?”
“Open it” She smiled but clutched her stomach when he looked down to do as he was told,
“Thanks Gin” he grinned, coming to her as she composed herself with a smile, he kissed her and slid the silver watch on, “You didn’t have to get me anything”
“But I did so suck it up” she grinned adjusting herself,
“Are you sure you’re ok?”
“Uh huh” she smiled as if to reassure him and herself “Just bruising up nicely”

Chapter Fifteen
She groaned miserably and pulled herself out of bed. She reached out for the bedside table leaning on it heavily; her hand crept down to lift up her t-shirt to the nice shade of purple on her lower abdomen and up her side reaching to some of her ribs. The door opened to Harry carrying a tray and she straightened up with a smile.
“Your supposed to be asleep not wandering when I bring you breakfast in bed that’s the whole point” he grinned, she looked at the tray, at his smiling face and as he sat on the bed,
“I woke up; it’s not a crime is it?”
“Nope, just you know – I was trying to surprise you”
“Hmm” she smiled and leaned over carefully to take a slice of toast and the glass of orange juice “And you did, don’t stop” she sat beside him, as he helped himself to some toast,
“I’m gonna keep trying”
“Good” she munched happily and stood up “I’m getting a shower, and then I’m going to see Hermione before we find you some clothes” She wandered in changing,
“Alright, well I’m going to see Snape – we’re sorting out his defence”
“Are you sure?” she called out to him,
“As much as I hate his guts I’ve gotta help him” He shrugged,
“Ok” she smiled poking her head round the bathroom door, hiding her stained skin from sight and blew him a kiss before closing the door.
He watched the door, she couldn't hide from him, and he saw the bruises while she was sleeping. She was getting clumsy; she was never clumsy so he was worried. He knew she was too.
He finished his own glass of juice and waited for her to come out wrapped in her towel, “Ginny”
“Hmm”
“What’s wrong?”
“Nothing” she rifled through the draws for underwear,
“Gin tell me the truth please”
“Nothing”
“There’s something going on Ginny, something you’re not telling me, you have to tell me what’s happening, I’m your fiancé”
“Harry trust me, I’m fine if you’re worried about the fall yesterday it was just an accident”
“Your breaking your arm was?”
“An accident”
“Right” he muttered looking at her back as she took clothes from the wardrobe, “Because you hurting yourself doesn’t mean anything when you’ve never clumsy and uncoordinated”
“There’s nothing wrong with me Harry” she didn’t turn around, he couldn’t believe her. He stood up and turned her around,
“Let me go” she tried to shrug him off,
“Ginny you have to be honest”
“Stop it”
“Tell me please, I’m scared, more then I ever was looking into that psychopaths eyes, I’m scared I’m losing you”
“I’m sorry, I’m just sorry ok” she pulled away from him and the towel fell to the floor,
“We’re going to the hospital get ready” he replied, his eyes seeing the purple as she walked into the bathroom and slammed the door.
He pulled on clothes and knocked on the door, “Ginny are you ready?”
“I’m going to see Hermione” she replied,
“We’re going to the hospital, I think you’ve broken some ribs” he said talking through the door,
“I’ll go with her, stay away from me today”
“Ginny” he sighed,
“No Harry, you want this to work you do this for me please, I’m going with Hermione”
“I’ll see you later, I love you Ginny” he replied and disappeared with a louder pop then usual.
“Love you” she whispered sitting on the bathroom floor. She didn’t want to tell him, it was just this was her scared of something she couldn’t control anymore. She pulled herself up and grabbed a bag throwing stuff in it, some clothes, a photo and her wand. She went to the fireplace picking up a piece of paper and writing a note to him, ‘I’m sorry, I love you, I just need some time’
***
He stood there holding the piece of paper, staring at the ink, Ron and Hermione behind him.
“She’s gone” he whispered hoarsely, “She’s just gone” he dropped it and ran up the stairs. Her backpack was gone; some of the hangers were bare. She’d just moved in and now she’d left him. He ended up on his knees staring into the wardrobe,
“Harry”
He didn’t reply,
“Harry”
“It’s my fault” he mumbled as Ron tried to lift him up “I’ve scared her away”
“She can’t have gone far” Hermione said taking out her wand “Where would she go?”
“I – I don’t know” Harry replied
“We’ll check the burrow?”
“She comes to me when there’s something wrong, she’s not talking to Molly still - this morning – last night she fell and hurt herself, her ribs she needed to go to hospital and wouldn’t, I tried to get her to talk but she wouldn’t, there’s something not right with her and she won’t tell me – she won’t tell me then who will she tell…” he wiped his eyes with his sleeve, “She’s gonna be fine” he pulled out his wand and apparated to Mungo’s.
“Has Ginny Weasley been in?”
“There’s such a thing as patient confidentiality”
“I need to know if she’s been here, she’s gone missing with broken ribs so I have to check”
“I can’t tell you that Mr Potter”
He banged his fist on the desk “She’s my fiancée and there’s something wrong with her, you have to tell me if she’s been here!”
“I can’t tell you”
Harry pulled out his wand,
“Mr Potter now there’s no need to-”
“- Shut up and find out!”
“Harry” called out a voice “Calm down”
He turned around “She’s gone”
“Come with me”
“Cara”
“Come on” she hissed grabbing his arm,
“You can help me?”
“Yeah, just walk before they throw you out”
She yanked his arm and he stepped, “Come on” she dragged him along and he stood with his hand in hers in the lift,
“I’m sure she’s ok Harry”
“You don’t know that”
“I do, she wouldn’t hurt you silly” she smiled and squeezed his hand in hers “How could she knowingly do something to make you miserable?”
“She’s scared” he replied simply,
They stepped out, “Stay right there, I’ll be back in a minute, don’t speak to anyone or I’m going to get fired”
He stood there shaking and his eyes darting around anxiously, then she came back,
“I can’t find her in the system”
“I – I – try looking for someone else – look for Sarah Reynolds”
“What?”
“It was her cover name when we were on the run – look for it”
“Alright” She went back to the desk, rifled through some parchment, spoke to some people and came back,
“She’s been in, she’s been treated, and she’s fine”
“She’s ok?”
“Yeah – look Harry there’s something else… you know what forget it”
“What is it?”
“No it’s nothing, just forget I said anything, she’s fine, and her ribs were healed”
“Don’t you lie too me as well, please”
“It was nothing”
“Cara”
“Patient healer confidentiality”
“I’m her fiancé, I’m going mad here and I need to know what’s going on”
“I’m sorry, I can’t tell you” she replied “Now you have to go home and wait for her to come back”
“You told me she was here surely you can let me know-”
“-Harry I’ve risked too much already by even telling you she was here, I can’t tell you anything else, its up to her not me” She walked away and he gripped his wand apparating to the burrow.
He made to knock on the door but Ron opened it, “She doesn’t want to see you”
“She’s here?”
“She doesn’t want to see you”
“Ron”
“Harry” he said folding his arms,
“Come on; tell me what I’ve done wrong”
“I don’t know maybe the huge bruise covering half of her body”
“She fell on the stairs – she ran up them with her suitcase”
“Have you seen it?”
“Course I have, but she’s been to the hospital – I checked”
“Just go home”
“Let me see her”
“She doesn’t want you here”
Harry pushed him trying to get past, “Ginny!” he yelled,
Ron pulled out his wand looking fierce “She - doesn’t - want - to - see - you”
Harry yelled “WHY NOT?” raising his own,
“Because – just because”
“Why won’t anyone tell me anything?”
Ron didn’t have an answer, he just held his wand stepping back to close the door. Harry reached out putting his foot in the way and his wand at Ron’s throat “Tell me what is happening”
“I can’t, when she wants to she will”
“I can’t be left in the dark like this, I’m going to go mad, in fact you know what I’m already there – GINNY!” he yelled again, “COME AND TALK TO ME PLEASE!”
“Harry” Molly said appearing at the door, “Ginny’s not up to seeing you at the moment come back tomorrow”
“What the hells going on!”
“Ginny’s just not very well, she’s going to stay here for a little while, calm down and go home”
“Don’t push me away, I need to know what’s happening, I can’t just leave her here”
“Harry go home and come back tomorrow” she reached out to touch his cheek, “Wait for her to sort this out, give her time – a chance to process something’s and then she’ll let you in”
“I love her, I just want to know she’s ok, to see she’s ok” he said as Molly pulled him into a hug, and he cried on her shoulder,
“She’ll be ok; I’m going to look after her for you ok Harry”
“I – I -”
“It’s ok Harry, its ok” She stroked the back of his head reassuringly, “She’ll be ok”
He let go and she stepped back, “Go home”
He nodded and apparated to Godric’s Hollow. He walked to the graveyard and sat in front of the simple white stone,
“Hey Mum, Dad” he smiled running his hand through the strands of grass, “I wish you were here right now cause I just want someone to talk to, I want you back, I want you here with me where you belong” his hand became a fist and slammed on the grass “Why couldn’t he just leave you, why couldn’t he let me have someone that won’t leave me?” he cried “Why won’t you let me have anything?!” he shouted up at the sky.
***
She walked into the green flames and came out at Mungo’s; she held herself together getting to the desk and asked to see a healer.
“There we go” she finished wrapping the bandage with a wave of her wand,
“Thankyou”
“Now you wanted the-”
“Yes please”
“Alright” she waved her wand again muttering something indistinctly before turning around to tap a sheet of parchment.
“Congratulations Miss Reynolds”
“Hmm”
“Everything looks fine, the fall wouldn’t have had any affect at this stage, it’s the early days, the very early days – with magic of course we can pin point exactly where you’re at, so within a few weeks you should get the morning sickness”
“Uh huh” she replied touching where the bump would soon be,
“Are you ok, is there anyone you can tell – the father, any support?”
“We’ll be fine”
“But is there anyone else?”
“I’ll – I’ll go to – to – to my mums, yeah my mums”
“Alright, now you’ll have an appointment at the three month milestone, would you like me to book it for you now”
“Erm…”
“That’s alright sweetheart, this is a big thing to take in, and we can leave it for now and contact you in a few weeks if you like”
“No, no make it now please”
“Ok, I’ll be back in a moment” She smiled and patted her hand reassuringly.
She sat there staring at the wall, how to tell him, how not to, how to tell her mother or not to. She sighed and looked up,
“10a.m on Tuesday, April 15th”
“I’ll be here”
“It might be easier for you to bring someone with you, being alone in this -”
“Please, don’t make assumptions about me”
“You can’t be more then sixteen -”
“- So”
“This is hard when you’re an adult never mind when -”
“- I’m not stupid, this was an accident and now I just have to sort it out” she stood up “Just because I’m sixteen doesn’t make me a child, I can cope with this alone, I’m perfectly capable but I won’t have to, I have my family and my baby will too”
She looked at her pleadingly “The father?”
“He’ll be with us”
“Are you sure you’re going to be ok- that he’ll be willing to- ?”
“He’d do anything for me” she twisted the ring round her finger “This was his mums but he chose me to give it to, he wouldn’t leave me…”
“You’re engaged”
“Yes, he loves me and I love him, he came back for me that’s how this happened, he came back to say goodbye – we never thought, I never thought, It was the first time”
“It happens”
“I guess this is proof of that” she muttered “I’m gonna go now”
“Are you sure, you can stay and talk to someone – talk to me if you like”
“Thanks but no, I’m gonna go and see my mum”
“Ok, look how about I arrange it so you see me on the 15th?”
“Yeah, that would be nice, thankyou”
“Alright, see you then, take care of yourself”
“I will”
She walked in a daze to the reception and stood in front of the fireplace. She threw in the floo powder and was trying to pick where she would go when
“Get in or get out of the way!”
She turned back to the angry face and then stepped in “The Burrow”
“Ginny” Molly said suddenly as she stepped out,
“Mummy” she ran at her in a hug,
“Darling, what’s wrong?”
“I’ve come home”
“But why, where’s Harry, what’s happened?” she squeezed her to her but Ginny flinched,
“Owww!” she pulled away,
“Ginny – what on earth?” she grabbed her wrist to hold her there and lifted up her t-shirt, there was purple both above and below the bandage,
“Let go!”
“Not until you tell me what’s going on”
“I FELL”
“I don’t believe you”
“I fell and I broke a couple of ribs”
“Did he do this?” she said firmly looking at her directly,
“Harry – what – no Harry would never hurt me like that, I’m telling you I fell so listen and believe me”
“I can’t”
“Since when has Harry ever hit another person, when has he ever laid a hand on me when it wasn’t in love?!”
“I – I –I’m so worried about you, being so far away from me, I don’t know what goes on in your life anymore”
“I was running up the staircase with my bag and I fell that is all, I’ve been to Mungo’s I’m fine”
“You don’t look fine”
“I’m – I’m just – I’m pregnant” she broke into tears,
Molly let go and stared at her,
“Harry doesn’t know, and he’s not going to for a while, I’m not even a month I just knew that I was, I’m scared mum, I’m just scared”
“But your fall are you ok, is it ok?”
“Yes, I’ve been checked out and everything -” Molly cut her off in a hug,
“You have to tell him”
“Not yet, please don’t say anything”
“Ginny”
“Please mum, please I need time to come to terms with it myself not with him fawning over me”
“Stay here for as long as you need to”
“How do I tell him? – How will he take it – will he still want me?”
“Of course he will” Molly held up her ringed hand to show her “I might not like it but he loves you too much for your own good and if anything this will only make him love you more”
“What if he’s more scared then I am, what if he – he panics and can’t take it, what if it’s all to fast for him, for us?”
“All what if’s sweetheart, but I’m sure he won’t do any of that, he’s prepared to marry you as soon as he can he’s going to be here for you, all he’s ever wanted is a family you’ve given him that even though it is a accident”
“I – I don’t want to see him if he comes please, I need to be alone”
“I don’t think that’s the best thing for you”
“He’ll be attached to me at the hip if he thinks I’m ill, I left a note, I just need to be alone”
“Does he know you’re here?”
“I didn’t get that far, he left to see Snape this morning I hadn’t decided what I was doing, my head was to messed up, I’m still too messed up – I – I don’t know what I’m doing” she put her hands to her head pacing, “I can’t think about this!”
“Calm down sweetheart” Molly put her hands out to stop her in her tracks and try to look at her, “You’ve got me; you’ve got dad and your brothers and Harry”
“Dad - What’s dad going to say!”
“He’s going to be fine”
“And Harry, I don’t know if I can tell him, I can’t see him taking this as a good thing!”
“Ginny, you need to calm down”
She shouted, “Calm!”
“Yes, stress is not good for you or the baby”
“It’s not even a baby yet, I wish it never makes it that far, I don’t want this, I can’t do this, what am I going to do?!”
“Don’t say that, you don’t mean it”
“I do I don’t want this baby!”
“Ginny!”
She burst into tears and threw herself into her mothers arms, “I’m sorry mummy”
“Don’t be sorry; just don’t ever say that again”
“I – I – I”
“Its ok sweetheart now lets go upstairs, you need to rest for a while” She supported her daughters weight and walked her up the stairs to her old room. She folded over the quilt and let her slide into the bed “I’ll get your bag and I’ll be right back ok”
“Uh huh” she cried into the pillow.

Chapter Sixteen
Ginny sat staring at the wall; she could here him calling up to her. Her hand travelled down to her baby and she started crying again.
“Ginny” it was Ron “Ginny he’s gone”
“What am I going to do Ron?”
“Tell me what’s wrong”
“I can’t – not yet”
“At least stop me thinking that he’s hurt you, I don’t want to think my best friends capable of that kind of thing”
“Harry has never and will never lay a finger on me to hurt me”
“So he was telling the truth – you fell”
“Yes”
“Then what’s happened to you guys?”
“Something – nothing for you to know now”
“How do you expect me to help if I don’t know what’s wrong?”
“Just tell him I love him and that – that I’ll come back to him if he’ll wait for me, if he’ll have me”
“Your still wearing his ring, aren’t you?”
“Only because he hasn’t asked for it back”
“He never will, no matter what’s gone on between you too”
“How’d you know that – I don’t even know that?”
“I just do, you need to talk to him”
“I CAN’T FACE HIM WITH THIS, I DON’T EVEN WANT THIS!”
“WHAT IS IT?!”
“Ron, leave now” Molly said at the door as Ginny rolled over,
“Tell me what’s going on”
“Leave her alone” she said firmly taking his arm and pulling him away from the bed, “She doesn’t need this right now”
“Fine” he left and slammed the door behind her and Molly sat on the bed
“You don’t mean it, this baby is a gift, and it’s a life”
“It’s something I can imagine, yes a baby is something I want, Harry’s baby even more so, but right now – I can’t see myself able to do this”
“It’s going to be more then just you darling”
“I – I”
“Just try to sleep; I’ll bring you up some dinner in a little while”
“I’m not hungry”
“You need to eat, so does he or she” Molly reached over and rested her palm on Ginny’s hand that had found its way to holding her belly, “You do care for this life as much as your own I can see it in your eyes, don’t be afraid, he won’t leave you, I saw that in his”
***
Harry dragged himself up from the grass, he looked around the gravestones, the darkening sky and the single young woman jogging past mp3 player in hand, and her mind as far away from around her as was possible as she crossed the road. He saw the car coming but she stopped to do up her laces in the middle of its path. He apparated to her side and pulled her out the way as the car came zooming, running over where she had been.
“Oh my god!” she gasped holding her chest, her earphones falling out, as he hid his wand in his pocket,
“Are you ok?”
“I’m fine, thankyou, thankyou so much”
“It’s alright” he helped her up and stood up in front of her,
“Thankyou” she grabbed him in a hug “I can’t believe I was so stupid – is there anything I can do for you?” she smiled at him like she just realised he was more of a man then a boy, when she stepped back,
“Just don’t stop to tie your laces in the middle of the road ever again” he smiled back a little and ran a hand though his hair,
“Never again” She smiled a little flirtatiously twirling her brown hair round a finger, he saw Ginny doing exactly the same thing in the forefront of his mind and glanced at the ground, “But how about – I mean would you like to – to go for a coffee sometime to make it up to you”
“I’m – I’m” he wanted to say it in a way that wouldn’t hurt her feelings and embarrass himself. “I don’t think that would be possible”
“Just forget it, its ok”
“If I didn’t have a fiancée that would kill me, I would definitely take you up on it” he smiled,
“Ahh see the cute hero’s are always already taken” she fiddled with her mp3 wrapping the headphones round it, “Just my luck”
He smiled nervously, and reached out and took her hand “Nice to meet you -”
“Sophia”
“Nice to meet you Sophia” he shook it,
“What’s my hero’s name?”
“Harry” he smiled a little,
“Ok Harry, thank you, but I want to make it up to you – so what about one drink?”
“Erm…”
“Just one, you see it’s my birthday tomorrow and if it wasn’t for you well I wouldn’t still be having my party so how about you and your fiancée come along?”
“I’m sorry, I’m not going to be here – I’m just visiting tonight, my parents are – their kind of buried here” he gestured his head to the graveyard,
“Oh – way to put your foot in it Sophia” she muttered to herself and shook her head “Its ok if you don’t want to come, I mean it would be kind of awkward-”
“Really there in there – you know the house that’s demolished in town, they were inside”
Sophia cringed at herself “I know that house - I’m sorry, I should just shut up now – I’ll leave you too it – thanks for everything” she made to walk away,
“Wait a minute” he called out and jogged to meet her, “How old are you gonna be?”
“Eighteen”
“Well since it’s a big birthday how about I stick around”
“What would you have said if it wasn’t eighteen?”
“I’d have come anyway” he shrugged “Can’t say no to a girl when she can’t get a sentence out”
“Mr smooth – what about your fiancée?”
“She’s kind of not talking to me, so she’s not going to know I’m gonna be here”
“You were saying she would kill you…”
“Yeah, but she’s at her mothers and she hates her mother so I guess the worlds not right this week”
“Hmm, well if the worlds right I should be squashed…” she made a face that hinted at a smile and Harry laughed,
“Lucky for you I was here so you weren’t” as they started to walk and talk,
“Yeah lucky me, saved by a hot guy who I can’t speak to properly and who has a fiancée so there’s no chance” she muttered to herself,
“Don’t beat yourself up Sophia; I’m too young for you anyway”
“What – you can’t be younger then me?”
“Seventeen” he grinned,
“No chance!”
“Yep”
“Hold on, you’re engaged at seventeen!”
“Yeah – my worlds kind of different to yours”
“Very – what are you Amish?”
“No – no nothing like that, I was just brought up a little differently, I go to a boarding school that I don’t even where it is – I own my own house in London that I live in”
“London – that’s miles away how did you even get here – how do you own your own house? What were your parent’s millionaires?”
“No – the house was left to me by my godfather, boarding school is -” he didn’t want to get messy “It’s kind of a scholarship program I was signed up for a birth” he looked around nervously as she had a reaction to his words,
“Wow, you’re a freak”
“Yeah, more then you know” he muttered,
“So apart from visiting your parent’s graves do you come here often?”
“I haven’t been here in years, I’ve had a crazy life so far – I did think it was getting better, I guess I was wrong”
“Oh thanks Harry” she smirked, he laughed,
“I don’t mean you” he rolled his eyes, “This has actually been a pleasant surprise, I’m not going to tell Ginny though cause she will kill me”
“Ginny’s your fiancée right”
“Yeah”
“So shouldn’t you tell her you’re going to a strangers eighteenth?”
“I should, I probably will when I get back and when she decides to talk to me again”
“You’re only allowed to come if you tell her”
“I thought I was coming because I saved your life?”
“Yeah ok…”
He smiled “I will, it’s not like it’s a big thing, so where is this famous party?”
“My house”
“So I’m gonna come back tomorrow and ask directions to Sophia’s house?”
“Alright, alright – hey what do you mean come back you live in London it would take you a day to get here and a day back”
“There’s something’s that are hard to explain about me and that’s part of one of them”
“There are a lot of weird people that live round here – your one of them, aren’t you?”
“Probably”
“Hmm, that’s ok, I don’t discriminate” she smirked “OK this is my house” she stopped at the gate to the cottage, “Your not some serial killer are you?”
“Nope – lucky for you”
“Good, so I’ll see you at say seven?”
“Sure”
He watched as she walked through the gate and got to the door, she turned back and waved but he’d already gone. She opened the door and walked inside to her mother,
“You have a nice run sweetheart?” She asked looking up from her book,
“Yeah – yeah really nice” she smiled and sat on the couch “Is it ok if I invited someone else round for tomorrow?”
“How many is that now?”
“Thirty six”
“I said thirty five was the limit”
“But this guy – he kind of saved my life”
Her mother turned to look at her “He – guy - Life?”
“I was out by the graveyard and I stopped to tie my lace, I didn’t even realise I was in the road, he came out of nowhere and pulled me out the way”
“Are you ok?”
“Fine, he was just there and saved me”
“How old is he?”
“Seventeen, he was visiting his parents graves, he’s different though”
“What about him – that he’s an orphan?”
“I don’t know – maybe it’s because he’s got a fiancée and he goes to boarding school” she laughed,
“I think he was lying to you”
“I don’t think he was – he used to live in the Potter house – he’s there son from the stories”
“The stories say no one survived”
“I think he did” she looked into the fire “And you know you think Cara, Anna and Daria are weird, I think he’s that kind of weird”
“Hmm – they are strange even for triplets”
“Exactly and they went to boarding school – the same one all their parents went to, their coming tomorrow too”
“Ok, but you have invited the teenagers that live in the Hollow that aren’t strange?” her mother said with a small grin,
“Yes or both you and Michael wouldn’t let me have the party in the first place”
“He’ll be home soon, you can tell him about your adventure in the graveyard”
“I don’t think I will, but I tell you what when Harry comes tomorrow night I’ll introduce you to him”
“So he’s Harry then, you had a long in depth talk with this boy”
“He told me his name, where he goes to school, his fiancées name, why he’s here, where he lives and walked me home” she shrugged,
“Like a gentlemen, not surprising that he’s taken then”
“Yep” she jumped up from the couch “I’m gonna get a shower and get some sleep before tomorrow then”
“Night sweetheart” she smiled,
“Night mum”
***
He went home and tried the fireplace again, it wouldn’t let him through. He sat on the couch staring into the flames; he wanted to know how long it would take for her to come round. He wanted to know what was wrong with her!
He got up and started to clean up remembering just how close they were a few days ago. They’d been laughing and happy and having a pillow fights on the floor before wrestling into each others arms to a loving embrace. He didn’t think that anything would ever go wrong between them, they got on so well, they understand each other, they were right together… he met someone else that he could get on with, he could tell her his secret, they would – they could be happy – in another life if he wasn’t madly in love with Ginny.
He grabbed his wand and his backpack, before apparating back to Godric’s Hollow, to the spot near her house. He saw a car pull in and watched a light go on in a blue room upstairs. He saw her at the window looking out and then closed the curtains. He apparated to the Burrow and set up the tent in the woods near the house, there was a light in the yellow room looking out at the forest. He watched it from the door of the tent and the window opened. She sat there and the wind blew her hair around her face. Some one appeared behind her, it was Arthurs hand on her shoulder and his lips touching the top of her head. She wiped her eyes and then it was as is if she saw him, she stopped and stared. He looked up at her; she blew him a kiss, closed the window and turned the light off.
He clambered into the tent and pulled himself into one of the beds. He sighed, closed his eyes and forced himself to sleep.
Ginny lay back on the bed, Arthur said goodnight and turned out the light. He walked down stairs to Molly, “He’s camped outside Molly”
“He is” she looked out the kitchen window,
“In the woods, she has to tell him”
“She will”
“When, he just knows she’s hiding something from him, he’s going to go mad waiting and she’s going to get worse trying to avoid it”
“She’ll tell him when she’s ready”
“And her brothers, Ron already assumed Harry was hitting her”
“She told him that wasn’t true, she’ll tell when she’s ready to - she’s still in the early days”
“How is she going to be a mother when she doesn’t want to be one?”
“It’s in her; she knows that once this is more real, once she can see him or her she’ll love them immediately”
“When’s her next appointment?”
“April”
“And you think she’s going to tell him before then?”
“Yes Arthur and if not I will”
“You will not interfere, this is her mess”
“Mess, she’s having a baby, you can’t call a life a mess!” Molly hissed trying not to alert Ron in the living room.
“You know what I mean” Arthur replied “She needs to sort this out, it is not our business”
“She needs our help and support not shutting her out completely”
“This will be hers and Harry’s baby, we will be there but it’s going to be there responsibility, their child to raise and not ours”
Ron stepped back from the partly open door and sat down on the couch. A baby, this was a baby, one that she said she didn’t want. Harry’s baby, he was going to be an uncle, he wanted to tell Hermione, she’d know what to say but then he didn’t want to say anything. He took out his wand and apparated to her house. He knocked on the door and got no reply, he tried again and lights came on, footsteps down the stairs and he checked his watch… it was late, he hadn’t thought to check. He swore under his breath but the door opened to Hermione’s father –
“Ronald?”
“I’m sorry I didn’t realise what time it was until a second ago, is Hermione awake”
“No”
“Ron?” Hermione said coming down the stairs “What are you doing here at this time of night?” she held the dressing gown around her a little tighter,
“It’s Ginny, I know what’s wrong”
“Come in”
“Hermione” Her dad started,
“Please dad, this is my best friend we’re talking about, Ron won’t be long”
“Fine, but not too long”
“Thankyou” she kissed his cheek before he went upstairs, she held out her hand for Ron to take and led him into the living room.
He sat beside her and she curled up to stay warm, “I’m sorry I woke you up”
“It’s fine”
“I’m just – I had to talk to someone – I had to talk to you”
“What’s going on?”
“Ginny’s – Ginny’s – she’s – she’s pregnant”
“Are you sure?”
“Yeah – I heard Mum and Dad talking about it; she’s too scared to let Harry know”
“You didn’t let her tell you this you listened in”
“I didn’t mean to, I was in the living room and then dad came down from talking to her and was talking to mum”
“You can’t tell Harry”
“He needs to know”
“Not from you, she has to do it”
“I know, I know I just – Merlin what the hell has happened”
Hermione instinctively wrapped him in a hug, “Don’t worry, you know that if there’s anything Harry wants more then anything else it’s a family, he won’t leave her to do this alone”
“Its not that I’m worried about, you didn’t hear her, she just keeps saying she doesn’t want it”
“She’ll change her mind”
“I don’t know, she can’t seem to take it in that he will want her still and that’s what she’s scared of”
“Where is he?”
“I don’t know, I followed him to Grimmald place when he left but he didn’t go back there”
“Where would he go?”
“I don’t know, I think just not knowing if she’s ok is driving him mad, he’s gone somewhere far away”
She let him go but he held on, “What would I do without you? What am I going to do to help them?”
“I don’t know on both counts” Hermione started, before she could say anything else he’d leant in and kissed her,
“I’ve wanted to do that for so long” he mumbled, she kissed him this time,
“I wanted exactly the same” she smiled and hugged him, curling into his chest and wrapped in his strong arms,
“Now we’re sorted they’ve fallen apart” Ron said and rubbed his eyes,
“They’ll be ok, we just have to wait for them, we know that there meant to be together, that this is ok for them – the one thing is the dates – she’s not that pregnant- if the first time they – was when he left…”
“Magic can detect it from the very beginning, even just a few days after – what’s the word – conception – that one – the magic the healers use is strong enough to get it at just under a week”
“How do you know that?”
“My cousin trained to be a healer she has kids” he shrugged,
“Oh ok, so she can’t be that pregnant – so if something goes wrong”
“Hermione”
“I’m just saying that if something happens this early on and she doesn’t want the baby in the first place its not going to have an effect on her in the same way it will if she tells Harry”
“When she tells Harry and nothing will happen, she’ll change her mind, she’s just frightened – Ginny would never deny a child life and love”
“I’m not hoping for something horrific – it’s just if the baby doesn’t make it, it might be better for both of them if they both aren’t ready for it”
“You can’t be saying something like that to me Hermione” Ron got up and stood in front of her “That baby is a life”
“I know that, it was just a thought”
“You can’t think that because there not ready it would be better for it to die”
“That’s not what I’m saying, I think they’ll get ready, they’ll be happy, it was just an errant thought”
“Alright”
“Ron don’t leave this on a bad note, you can understand the logic behind it”
“Yeah even if I don’t like it”
“I’m sorry it’s just that I fall back to the most logical solution-”
“- when things don’t seem to go to plan, I know, I understand”
“Ron”
“Yes”
“I think they’ll be great parents” she said standing up,
“I’ll see you tomorrow” he hugged her,
“Ok, I’ll come round, I’ll talk to her”
“You won’t say anything”
“Course not; I’m going to be the supportive best friend”

I'm relly saddened tht Ginny doesn't want the baby, and I don't think blocking Harry out is the answer. Looking forward to your next post!!!

Chapter Seventeen
Ginny woke up and rubbed sore red eyes, she looked out the window and spotted the blue tent amongst the trees. He was there, he said he would camp out in the forest in desperation to be close to her before and now she’d forced him to do it. She sat in the corner in her chair curled up in her quilt. There was a knock and it was Molly.
“Sweetheart, how are you feeling this morning?”
“It’s still there, it’s still inside me, growing and living”
“It’s your baby Ginny, not a monster”
“Is nine months long enough to change my mind?”
“Once you see him or her for the first time you’ll be in love, nothing can stop that from happening, not even you”
“I don’t know”
“Are you going to see him today, he’s downstairs”
“You let him in the house?!”
“He’s having breakfast; he’s scared you’ve left him and aren’t coming back Ginny” She sighed, “It’s been days”
Ginny looked out the window “Tell him I’ll be back”
“You tell him Ginny”
“I can’t talk to him”
“Ginny”
“I CAN’T DO IT”
“Then I’m going to tell him everything, I’m not going to leave that boy as a tortured soul anymore, he’s been through enough as it without your selfish behaviour”
Ginny stayed quiet staring at her,
“You won’t tell him the truth, I will, he just wants to know what’s going on, he’s worried sick, he thinks you don’t love him, that you don’t want him anymore not that your going to give him a child and you just won’t tell him”
“I’ll tell him – send him up”
“Your ready, you don’t want to get dressed?”
“Send him up; when he leaves you let him alone”
“He won’t”
“When he leaves you will leave him alone” she said firmly,
“Fine, he’ll be right up”
She stood up and walked out closing the door, she wandered slowly down contemplating what was going to happen.
He looked up at Molly hopefully “She’s waiting”
He leapt to his feet and tried not to sprint to eagerly up the stairs, he stood at the door pausing before knocking,
“Come in Harry”
He opened the door to her sitting in the chair in the corner, the quilt wrapped up showing only red hair and red eyes.
“Gin” he started walking straight for her, he reached for her cheek, kneeling down in front of her “Tell me what I’ve done wrong please, I want to make it right, I want to make you happy again, I’m so sorry for pushing you into all this”
“Don’t”
“You want to move back in here just say it, you don’t want to marry me, keep the ring until you do-”
“Harry it’s not like that, I want to live with you, I want to marry you, it depends if you still want me after what I’m going to tell you”
“Of course I will, nothing will ever change the way I feel about you”
“That’s what I’m worried about, you don’t have anything to be sorry for, it was me that got us into this mess, I shouldn’t have made you say goodbye, I shouldn’t have been such a reckless mess you had to come back and sleep with me because I made you”
“What are you saying Ginny?”
“I’m – I’m – I don’t want to – please don’t leave me, please” she said starting to cry “It’s all happening so fast, I’m so scared and I don’t think I could take it if you – you decided you didn’t love me anymore”
“Never in a million years could I leave you, I love you so much I had to sleep in the woods to be close to you so I didn’t fall apart silly, just tell me what’s happening”
Her hands released her from the quilt and she knelt down on the floor with him. Her hand went to his cheek and she leant, taking one of his hands simultaneously, holding it to her lower belly as she whispered in his ear.
“I’m pregnant”
“You – your – say it again”
“I’m pregnant”
He pulled her into his arms, “Why would you be scared I would go, Ginny this is – its good”
“How is it?”
“We’re having a baby, our child, and you’re not happy?”
“I don’t think I can do this, I don’t know if – if I want to be a mother yet”
“I know you didn’t chose this, it’s not something I would have either so soon but this is something to be-”
She stared “-To be what happy!” Ginny said angrily,
“You don’t want it at all do you?” he said and let go standing up, she stayed kneeling and held onto the bottom of his t-shirt,
“I want kids, I want your kids, I’m just scared, please don’t go”
“I’m not going anywhere” he replied lifting her to face him “I love you, I’m going to get us through this, I’m scared too but I know we can do this”
“I’m not so far gone, you’ve probably figured”
“It doesn’t seem possible already maybe that’s why I’m so calm” he said enveloping her in his arms,
“Magic can read a persons body better then your muggle tests, I knew myself, I know my body and I felt what was happening”
“But you weren’t trying to hurt yourself on purpose, you said that”
“The arm that was an accident but the stairs…”
“You would throw yourself downstairs to end your baby’s life!”
“I wasn’t thinking straight, please forgive me, I can do this, I can love this baby if you help me”
“Ginny you need help” he stepped back in shock,
“I need you, just you”
“I need to think about what you’ve told me, will you be ok if I go for a walk?”
“You said you wouldn’t go” her hands reached for his chest, clutching at his t-shirt collar,
His hands held hers there “I’ll be back, I won’t be gone long I promise, I just need a chance to clear my head, to process – Gin, I love you but knowing – I need to get my head round it”
“Don’t go, please”
“Gin, just minutes, I’ll get Hermione to come and sit with you”
“I- I”
“I won’t be long, I promise” he kissed her lips, her cheeks, her forehead and held her “I’m coming back and then we’ll go home”
He let go and walked down stairs in tears, “Hermione sit with her – I have to – I’m – I’m – Molly she needs help” he broke down rushing out the door, she followed after him,
“Harry – Harry I know it’s a shock but-”
“She tried to kill it” he hissed “She doesn’t want it that much she threw herself down stairs and tried to hide it from me, I’m going to think, I’ll be back”
He walked into the woods aimlessly and stoped in a clearing to pace back and forth, he came to a standstill and looked up at the house, she was watching him at the window, he turned to face away from her, looking at her wasn’t possible right now. He started to pace again and then stomped back into the house. Molly tried to talk to him again
“Harry, Harry she needs you don’t go”
“This is my baby to, I’m gonna take care of them both, we’re going to be fine” he walked up the stairs, and opened her door, Hermione looked at him, hugged him and then stepped back, “She’s asked me to stay here whilst you talk”
“Go please”
“I want her to stay”
“I want to tell you something that I don’t want her to hear, Hermione understands”
“If she wants me here -”
“- She wants you, she doesn’t need you, and she wants you as a buffer”
“What are you going to tell her?”
“The truth” he held the door open for her “Please Hermione”
“I’ll be outside the door Ginny”
“Thankyou” she mumbled, Harry cast muffilato as soon as the door closed and sat on the bed opposite her, “You look angry at me, I didn’t want to face you alone”
“I’m not angry, I’m scared of you”
“Me”
“You tried to kill our child how can I trust you again?”
“I love you, you can trust me, I’m not going to do it again, and I’m fine I can do this”
“No you can’t, not when you hate your own baby”
“Mum says once I start to feel it, to see him or her on a scan I’ll love it”
“And if not, then what do we do?”
“I’ll keep trying, for you I’ll keep trying”
“I don’t want you to do this for me; I want you to do it for you!”
“I don’t have a choice, you can walk away from this, I have this for nine months and then how ever long after that”
“What about – what about adoption?”
“I couldn’t do that to you, you’d never forgive me and I couldn’t forgive myself, this is – this is our baby so we – we’ll raise it”
“How much do you think I love you right now?”
“Not very, you hate me more then you love me, I did something stupid”
“You’re wrong”
“What?”
“Your wrong” he got up and sat on the arm of the chair holding her “Your giving me a child, I love you more if its possible that I can, I can forgive you anything because you are scared of me going, your worried that I’m the one that will leave when all of those three days it was me that was scared I was losing you” he kissed the top of her head “Your logic is all messed up Gin, even if you told me you couldn’t have children I’d still want you, you’re my everything”
“You would resent me, just like you will for forcing you to be a father”
He shook his head “Your not forcing me, I think I can be ready for this, to have my own family – Gin I’ve been alone almost all my life, yeah Ron’s like a brother and Hermione’s the closest I’d get to a sister but there’s nothing like having your own family, my parents knew that, your parents know that – they had seven just to prove it to everyone that family is the most important thing in anyone persons life. I’m going to be a father and a husband, your going to be a wife and mother, we’re going to have each other and your family and any one willing to lend a hand, we can do this we just have to try”
“Are you sure Harry?”
“I’m sure about you, I don’t need anything else”
“Stupid boy”
“I’m in love I can’t help it”
“Why can’t you just get angry at me?”
“It doesn’t work like that with me and you; we don’t argue I just give in”
She laughed a little and held onto him tighter, “I love you, so much, I’m so sorry Harry, believe me I’m so sorry”
“Love you too Ginny, I’m gonna love you forever” he lifted her into his arms so she was on his lap in the chair and they hugged, her curling into his embrace and holding for minutes in silence.
“Can we stay here for a few days?” Ginny asked,
“What ever you need”
“It’s a family decision”
“I’m gonna stay here with you if it’s what you want”
“Yes please”
“Alright then, I’ll get us some clothes later on”
“Thankyou Harry”
He looked down at her confused “For what?”
“For understanding, for forgiving, for loving”
He held her cheek and kissed her lips lovingly, “Thankyou” he held her to him firmly in silence, “Thankyou so much Ginny”
She took his hand placing it where the bump would soon be and looked at him; he smiled in understanding and held her hand on top of his “For our family”
That sat like this for a while, not hearing the door open when Hermione’s head peeked round and then when it closed again and her footsteps moved down the stairs.
“There ok” she said “There just sitting there holding each other”
“Both of you know don’t you?” Molly asked looked between both Ron and Hermione,
“Know what?” Ron tried to lie,
“I am not easy to fool Ronald, you know and we did not tell you and neither did she”
“I heard you last night, I heard her say she doesn’t want it and I went to see Hermione”
“You’d better not say a word to her”
“I’m not stupid” he muttered “I’m worried for her, for them both”
“They’re going to be fine; he’s going to get her through this”
“Sure he is” Ron muttered “He got her into this”
“Blaming him is not going to change it”
“It takes two” Hermione said before Ron could complain “She told me that she instigated it Ron, can you imagine what she would have done if he hadn’t survived?”
“She would love that baby; she would replace Harry with it”
“No she wouldn’t because something like this just doesn’t go away, it wouldn’t have changed, and she would have been even less ready”
“You don’t know that” Harry said standing at the bottom of the stairs, “Don’t talk about what you don’t understand, don’t talk about us talk to us” he said angrily,
“Things like this don’t change suddenly; she would have still had it”
“You don’t know that, she’s going to be fine” he said “She has me, they have me, we’re going to be a family, and we’re going to be happy”
“I’m not saying you won’t be its just-”
“- she’s asleep, Molly is it ok if we stay here for a few days”
“Of course, you don’t have to ask”
“Yeah we do – I’m going to get some clothes for us, sort out something’s and be back later, make sure she knows I’ll be back if she wakes up, she’s worried I won’t” he said rubbing his head and drawing his wand as he went out the front door.
He apparated to Grimmald place packed two bags but left them on the living room floor. He went to Godric’s Hollow, to her house and knocked. He guessed it was her mum but she looked at him like she knew him,
“Erm hello, is Sophia home”
“James” she said surprised,
“How do you know my father?”
“You look just like him” she didn’t know what else to say,
“You knew my dad?”
“Yes, it’s like I’m seeing him again you’re the spitting image apart from your eyes – your eyes are”
“They’re my mothers”
“I know, but I didn’t think – you didn’t survive, you all died”
“I was taken in by my Aunt and Uncle”
“The house, it collapsed on you all, I knew James since, since we were kids – you played with Sophia in the garden when you were little, your dad was my friend and Sirius, I remember Sirius” she looked at the ground, “Come in”
“I don’t know”
“Harry tell me what happened to my friends and I’ll tell Sophia you’re here”
“Will you tell her who I am?”
“Yes” she stepped out of the way to let him in, “But I think she already knows something”
“She doesn’t remember me, I don’t remember her”
“You were only babies” she led him into the living room and sat down “What happened to James and Lily?”
“They were killed in the house, I was rescued, and I don’t know how I just was” he lied “As for Sirius, I’m sorry to say he was killed”
She stared at him “You’re sure”
“I was there, it’s been two years”
“Oh my god” she spluttered and then started to cry into her hands,
“I’m so sorry”
“You don’t understand” she sobbed “He’s – He’s Sophia’s father”
