A Punch and a Kiss

Part 1

It was the morning after and everyone was out and about in the castle doing their share to repair the damage, trying to keep busy and avoid the pain of grief….

Molly Weasley sat in the Great Hall surrounded by her family, doing what she did best – taking care of others. "Ron, Hermione, are you sure you don't want anything else to eat? And what about Harry? Has he eaten anything since he woke up?"

"Kreacher brought him some food earlier, he says he just wants to be alone for a bit." Replied Ron. Ginny got up, mumbled something about punching a git and walked out the hall.

"What's that about?" Molly asked.

" Uhm, I'm sure it's nothing…' replied Hermione avoiding all eye contact.

Harry Potter sat under his favourite tree by lake trying not to think about the last few months, in fact he didn't want to think at all, he just wanted to sit…Then he heard it. The footsteps. Footsteps that his heart was so attuned to. The footsteps of Ginny Weasley. Harry stood up to face her. "Gin I…"

"You complete and utter arse Harry Potter!" Each word was emphasised by a punch to his chest. "I thought you died! I had nightmares for 9 FREAKEN months only to see them come true after I had a glimmer of hope!" she pushed him away and turned her back and started walking away.

Harry's famous temper was starting to get the better of him. "You think it was easy? You think I wanted to leave you? I had to do it! To protect everyone! To protect you!"

"I didn't need protection Harry! I needed you!" they were now having a fully fledged argument, unaware that they had a small shocked audience.

"But you decided to hand yourself over to him! Without even thinking about what it would do to us!"

"Of course I thought about it! But I knew that if I did it you would all be safe! But you decided it would be clever to take on Bellatrix! What were you thinking?"

"Oh no you don't! Don't turn this on me Harry Potter!" she screamed as she stormed towards him again. "I thought you were dead! What was I supposed to do? Find some other noble git to love? I love you! You idiotic…" She didn't get to finish her sentence because Harry' s lips were on hers and all the anger, pain and heartache were gone…

AN: so this is how I always imagined they'd get back together. Ginny would never take harry back without giving him a good screaming at first. I hope you liked it. Please review. I'd appreciate some constructive criticism. This is a two-shot. So the next part will be up soon. Check out my other story Promise. Thanks for reading. REVIEW!
