Harry looked around Grimmauld Place. All the cursed objects were gone as was Walburga Black, and there were pictures of his parents and Sirius around the house. Some of Regulus' photos were around the wall too. Harry nodded his head. With his Holly and Phoenix feather wand repaired and the house remodeled he was ready to put the Elder wand back in Dumbledore's tomb. Then he could head over to the Weasely's for Sunday dinner.
When Harry Floo'd into the Burrow it was to find Ginny waiting for him. "Hi." Merlin, that was a terrible greeting.
"Hello Harry." She smiled at him. This was the first time they had been alone together since the War ended.
"I'm sorry, about, all last year. I didn't, I couldn't. I wanted to protect you." He tried to explain, he knew his reasons for their break up had frustrated her, and he knew she understood why he had done it, but he thought he should apologize anyway. He knew he had hurt her, even if he hadn't wanted to.
"I understand, and I appreciate that, but I can protect myself." She met his stare, a serious look on her face.
"I know, but, I. At the end, when you all thought I was dead. I almost was." He hadn't told anyone else about this, but he he could tell her, some of it.
"Oh Harry! It was terrifying when I thought you were dead." The smile had faded, and her face was full of pain.
"But I knew you were still here, so I, well. I had something to live for." He ddin't want to talk about the details too much, but he needed her to understand that he wouldn't still be here if she wasn't.
"I'd be happy to be your something to live for if I could have my boyfriend back." Her smile was still pained, but it was softer too. She was standing right in front of him now.
Harry smiled, "Would you like to go with me to the first Hogsmade Weekend at Hogwarts?"
Ginny's smile was wide and bright, "I'd love to."
