Whispered Words
Hi! I have two stories "Dear Beautiful" and "Live A Little, Love A Lot". Both are about Ron and Hermione. But, I have yet to cover A) what happens with Harry/Ginny B) life directly after the battle. So… here is a story told by Ginny's POV about the time between the battle and…the future! Enjoy!

"I can't talk to him," my father's voice was low.
"He won't listen to anyone. I've tried," my mother was making some sort of pastry.
Ron and Hermione sighed and walked upstairs. People would think they did….more than talk…but I knew better. Ron and Hermione were a new couple. And right now, all they wanted to do was hear each other's voices.
They worried about Harry. Everyone worried about Harry.
I stood up, placing the book I was reading on the table and walked outside. Harry sat in the sun, his hair messed up and his glasses crooked. Sitting down next to him, I took his hand.
"I'm sorry, Harry," I watched as he swallowed.
"Why are you sorry?" His voice was strained.
"You're taking this all on yourself. You shouldn't."
"Fred's dead, Ginny,"
I nodded. "I know. But if he saw you like this, he'd probably kick you in the arse."
"And Tonks. And Lupin."
"Teddy's going to be safe with his grandmum,"
Harry shook his head. Whispering he said,"Why are you here?"
This caught me off guard. I wasn't expecting this to come up so soon.
"Because even though you hurt me,"
Harry let go of my hand, "Gin, you can't,"
I positioned myself in front of him. "Even though you hurt me, you care so much,"
"I'll hurt you all over again,"
Pushing his hair off his forehead, I kissed my index finger and brushed Harry's scar. "You're so broken, Harry. I want for us to fix this. I want to be with you. I want to get married one day. I want to move in together. I want to have kids, you've always wanted that,"
"I can't Ginny. I'm not right for you. I'm not anything you want,"
I don't know what drove me to do what I did. Considering that most of my family was watching from inside, it was a kind of daft idea. But I grabbed his hair and kissed him full on the mouth. To my delight, Harry kissed me back, his hands on my hips.
When Harry pulled away, I starred into his eyes. "I want to Gin, I so want to. But if I hurt you again, I don't know what I would do."
"Then don't hurt me. Take the relationship in stride. And be with me, Harry,"
He closed his eyes. "I haven't slept in years."
"Sleep now," my voice was soft.
As Harry lay back in the summer grass, wrapping his arm around me and laying me next to him.
"I like you, Ginny Weasley," he whispered in my ear. "But I don't know if we can be together,"
I wasn't letting this one go. "I love you Harry Potter. And we don't have a choice."
Review! Thanks for reading! P.S. Usually my chapters are longer, they'll get there!
