He woke up slowly but with a peacefulness he had not felt in what seemed a lifetime. It only took a moment for him to realize he was not alone and the peacefulness he sensed came from a small weight on his chest. Harry didn't have to look down to know that it was Ginny, her fire red hair splayed across his shirt. The ghost of a smile appeared on his face as he removed the stray hairs from her beautiful face. Ginny moved and clutched him tighter, beginning to whimper. His arms immediately tightened around her small frame, his mouth gently placing kisses along her forehead and whispering into her ear,
"I'm here Ginny, whatever happens I'm here. Always."
As Ginny began to wake her whimpers became Hitches in her breath. Harry gazed at her as he stroked back the hairs plastered on her face. Her small weak voice penetrated the heavy silence.
"I thought I had lost you."
His heart shattered as he heard those words and gazed at his love, his hand on her cheek lovingly tracing her freckles with his thumb. He had never seen her so broken.
"Oh Ginny...forgive me"
He clutched her to his chest even tighter than before, bending down to graze her lips with his. Her lips slowly responded to his, pleading, begging, for his comfort. And they remained that way, limbs tangled together and tears pooling on the pillows with lips locked in passion and need.
