Chapter One: The Morning After
It was a warm summer morning when Harry woke. The house smelled of bacon and biscuits and the sun shone through the window warming Harry's face. It had only been two days, but it seamed like an eternity since he had defeated Voldemort and had been staying with the Weasleys. He wasn't the only one, Hermione had stayed and so had Neville. Camped out in Ron's room, the boys woke simultaneously to the smell of a meal cooking. "Oh bloody hell! She's made my favorite!" Ron threw back the covers and rushed down the stairs.
"Well, better make sure he doesn't eat all the food." Neville joked before leaving the room leaving Harry alone. He grabbed his glasses off the side table and began to shake the sensation of sleep off when he heard a small voice.
"Harry?" Ginny was standing in the doorway, her hair was pulled back and her nightclothes were slightly rumpled. "Can I talk to you?"
"Of course."
"Harry, I never stopped…loving you. If anything I love you more. I thought I was never going to see you again." She stopped talking and began to cry. Harry rose and pulled her into a hug.
"Ginny, I'm not going anywhere," Harry whispered in her ear, "If death couldn't keep me from you, nothing can, and well I love you too." Harry took her hands in his as she looked into his green eyes. "The whole time I was fighting I was worried about where you were and if you were hurt, it took all the strength in my body to not give up the battle and come find you."
"If I knew I was distracting the chosen one I would have stayed home." Ginny said with a smile. "I'm glad you're safe now." The young couple's lips met in a kiss, Harry wished that the kiss could last forever but it wasn't long until they could hear the rest of the burrow start to wake up. They walked hand in hand down to breakfast. They walked into a long table filled with people talking and laughing over bacon, eggs, and biscuits with jam.
"There he is! I would say the man of the hour but what he did should be remembered forever! To Harry!" Said Mr. Weasley as he lifted his glass to him. "Well I'd better be going, as you guessed the ministry is a little troubled and I should help out." He then kissed Mrs. Weasley and head out the door.
"Well I'm guessing after you eat you should go and pick up Teddy." Mrs. Weasley said. Harry had almost forgotten about Teddy, he almost forgotten about Lupin and Tonk's death as well. A familiar hurt spread through his body.
"I could go with you if you like." Ginny said placing a hand on his shoulder.
"Ya that would be perfect." Harry said knowing he was going to need all the support knowing Teddy's parents died for his battle. He grabbed Ginny's hand and walked into the fireplace seconds before arriving at Teddy's grandparent's house.
