How did I…?

Ginny Weasley was sitting on her bed, " oh my god! He's coming! HE'S COMING!" she screamed, she was missing the love of her life, Harry James potter. The last time she'd seen his mysterious jet black hair and deep green eyes was at professor Dumbledore's funeral, Harry had left her in so much agony that day, she could have been attacked by death eater and never realised. She had wanted to owl him for so long, telling him exactly how she felt but as soon as she had put quill to parchment, she got scared. What if he didn't feel the same? What if he had found someone else? Just thinking about it made her sick and dizzy. But this wasn't why she was crying, Ginny was crying because she had got a letter from Harry…

Dear Ginny,

Ron, Hermione and I are coming to yours today. We really need to talk, please tell your mum we will be there by 1:30.

I love you with all my heart and I'm sorry about what happened.

Love,

Harry

Ginny didn't know if her tears were of joy or fear, she wasn't sure that she was prepared to see Harry again.

*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*

Ginny reread the letter over and over, just to make sure that he had actually written "I love you". Waiting for 1:30 turned out to be a complete nightmare. Mrs Weasley was bustling around making different delectable foods and of course, Harry's favourite treacle tart. Ginny paced up and down the kitchen, wringing her hands and straightening her clothes, she was so nervous because she had decided that she was going to tell Harry exactly how she felt, no matter what he said.

"knock, knock"

Molly weasley rushed to the door, looking through the peep hole she saw the 3 teenagers she'd missed for the last month. " Harry! Ron! Hermione!" Molly screamed, " oh Harry dear, look at you, your skin and bones!". For the next hour Harry, Ron and Hermione ate and drank, after thanking Mrs Weasley for her hospitality they went upstairs to the spare room with Ginny following close behind.

"Ginny, go away, this is important horcrux stuff" said Ron. "No Ron, it's ok, she can stay. Its about time she knew" Harry said quietly, gob smacked, Ron stayed quiet.

*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*

After explaining everything, Harry whispered something in Ginny's ear, "Can we go somewhere private? I really need to talk to you"

"sure" replied Ginny " we can go to my room".

While Ron and Hermione were bickering Harry and Ginny slipped out to her room across the landing.

"Ginny…" Harry whispered, once the door was shut, "…I've loved you since the moment I met you, going on this horcrux hunt only made me realise how much you can miss someone who is apart of you and your life. I'm so sorry!". "Harry.." Ginny tried to say, "If you'll take me back, then nothing in this world can stop me defeating voldemort" Harry Finished. "Harry, I thought I'd lost you for good at Dumbledore's funeral. Until I got your letter today, I thought you didn't love me" Ginny claimed tearfully. " I love you with all my heart, nothing can stop that" Harry explained. " I know and I feel the same, I love you and I want to be with you forever!" with that Ginny rushed to Harry and hugged him tightly, "Never leave me again Harry James Potter, I need you!". Harry released her and tilted his head, placing his lips gently on hers, Ginny accepted his kiss by running her tongue across his bottom lip. Opening his month, Harry deepened the kiss, enjoying every minute spent in this embrace.

"cough, cough". Immediately, Harry and Ginny sprung apart, " your back together!" screeched Hermione, "yes we are" replied Harry and Ginny in unison. " come on Ron, lets leave these two to get re-acquainted" Hermione spoke softly, " oh alright, why don't me and you go to my room?" Ron said cheekily. "lets go!" giggled Hermione, with that the door banged shut and they were left along again.

"how did I…?" began Harry, "shh, we have some catching up to do" said Ginny, "oh yeah… where were we? I think you should remind me" he said playfully. Harry kissed Ginny again, pressing his tongue on her lips, Ginny greeted it by opening her month and deepening this new kiss from the one she loved so dearly. While kissing passionately, Harry and Ginny made each other an unbreakable promise, never again shall they be without one another, they were like quill and parchment, meant to be forever and always.
