Chapter 1
Remembering What We Lost and What We Have
Harry and Ginny were kissing still next to Dumbledore's tomb, when they stopped to get some air. They were both smiling at each other when Harry said, "Hey, you want to give it another go?"
"On one condition, Harry," said Ginny. "You don't leave out on these big things anymore. We're a team now, and I don't ever want to go through almost losing you again."
"Well, you may have to add Ron and Hermione, because those two won't ever let me leave without them as well," said Harry. Ginny definitely knew that was true, and agreed it. Harry ended it with a nod.
"Speaking of Ron and Hermione, where are they?" asked Ginny.
"Well, I got a pretty good feeling they may be doing the same thing we were doing a few moments ago," said Harry. Ginny threw her eyes opened in surprise.
"WHAT!?" squealed Ginny. "When did that happened? You're telling me I missed that?"
Harry wrapped her in his arms and said, "It was right after you left the Room of Requirement, and went into the battle scene. Ron said something about evacuating the House-Elves, and then Hermione dropped what she was carrying and kissed him full on the mouth. And Ron started doing the same thing."
"Rats, I always miss the fun parts," said Ginny.
"Yeah, well at least you didn't miss the fun part of me kissing you during my sixth year," said Harry. They both just laughed and headed back toward the castle.
Just as they were at the door, they heard Mrs. Weasley coming up toward them.
"Harry, are you okay?" she asked, hugging Harry which caused him to be separated from Ginny. He then started to turn blue a little.
"Mom!" exclaimed Ginny. "Let him go, or your going to blow the air out of my boyfriend."
That made Mrs. Weasley let go of Harry, and stood with a look of shock. "Wait a minute, you guys are back together?" she asked, sounding surprised.
"Yes, Mom," said Ginny, taking Harry's hand in her own. "We are back together. I love him."
Mrs. Weasley just shook her head as tear stared forming from her eyes. "Oh my, we definitely have gotten two good miracles. Percy coming back to us, and now this."
Harry then caught the entrance of his two best friends entering the hallway. He then pointed a finger at them as he said to Mrs. Weasley, "You might want to make that three miracles, Mrs. Weasley." She turned around and saw that Ron and Hermione were holding hands as well.
"You're definitely right, Harry. We definitely have three great miracles," said Mrs. Weasley.
Ron and Hermione noticed that the three of them were looking at them and decided to head over to them.
"Hey, you guys okay?" Ron asked. They all nodded, but Mrs. Weasley starting to leak some tears. Ginny noticed it, and went to comfort her.
"Hey, don't worry, Mom. We'll miss Fred too, but he definitely wouldn't want us feeling down for him," Ginny said to her mom.
Mrs. Weasley didn't look convinced, but Harry came next to the Weasley women and said, "Don't worry, Mrs. Weasley. It'll get better with time." Mrs. Weasley just smiled and hugged Harry again. But then both of them got a big surprise as Ginny joined in as well as Ron and Hermione. They all just stood there for a while until they heard Mr. Weasley calling them, with Percy, Charlie, Bill, Fleur, and George behind him.
"Hey, Minerva and Kingsley have got it under control here. Why don't we go on home now?" he suggested.
"What about Fred's body, Dad?" asked Ron.
"Don't worry. Kingsley is taking the bodies where they can be readied for burial," Mr. Weasley assured him, putting his arm around his wife. Ron didn't feel too much better, but Hermione wrapped her arm around him and said, "Its going to be okay soon, Ron. I can promise you that." Ron smiled at her, then at Harry and Ginny. That's when he noticed that Harry and Ginny's hand were linked together. He made a mental note to talk about them later on.
"Hey!" They heard Kingsley call them from the stairwell. "I got a Portkey here that will transport you guys back home," he said as he handed a small rock to them.
"Thanks, Kingsley. We'll be back as soon as we can," Mr. Weasley assured him.
"Hey, just take some time to be with your family, ok," said Kingsley. Mr. Weasley nodded. He then took the Portkey from Kingsley and handed it out. One by one, the rest of the Weasleys and Harry and Hermione put a finger on the Portkey. Then it turned a blue a few seconds later, and they disappeared in a whirl of colors all the way back to the Burrow. Unfortuantely, no one had the strength to remain standing when the Portkey brought all of them back, but they all helped each other and walked into the Burrow. Everyone went to sit down to comfort each other, but Harry, Ron, Hermione, and Ginny went upstairs to comfort by themselves alone. They went into Ginny's room since it was the closest room they could go into.
Harry sat down with Ginny on her bed, while Ron sat with Hermione on the cot bed that still was there when they disappeared from the wedding.
"It's definitely going to be weird now without Fred," Ron said in a deep voice.
"Yeah, its no more Fred and George," said Ginny.
Harry and Hermione looked at each other, then Harry said, "Hey, just be glad you still got the rest of the people who love you, all right?" he said to Ron and Ginny. Both of them smiled and Ginny started to leak tears a little.
"Speaking of which, I noticed that you two were holding hands when we were still at Hogwarts, and I don't mean like a friendly way," said Ron, although he wasn't raising his voice.
Harry and Ginny looked at each other, then Ginny said, "We're back together, Ron if that's what you mean. And don't try to force us apart," she warned him, "because I want to be with him only."
"You do?" said Ron.
"Yes," Ginny continued saying. She turned to Harry, but said to Ron, "I love him."
"And I really love her, Ron," said Harry. To his and Ginny's surprise though, Ron said, "Then you guys should definitely be together."
"Like you and Hermione should be," said Ginny.
"Did you tell her everything, Harry?" Ron exclaimed.
"At least the part where Hermione kissed you unexpectedly and you started to kiss back," said Harry, smirking a little.
"HARRY!" Ron and Hermione shouted but both laughed as well. Ron also took one of the pillows off of the cot bed and threw it at Harry. Harry just threw pushed it back with his arms, and then wrapped his right arm around Ginny.
"Well, are you guys together or not?" she asked.
Ron and Hermione looked at each other, at Harry and Ginny knew the answer was yes, but waited for them to say it. To everyone surprise, they both said "Yes," but at the same time. All four of them laughed as Ginny got up and hugged her brother and her best friend, along with Harry hugging them as well.
"You four, okay?" asked Mrs. Weasley, still a little tear-stricken. She had come upstairs to see what the commotion was about.
"We're okay, Mom," said Ginny heading over to her.
"Oh, I thought you would be mourning over Fred about now," Mrs. Weasley wondered.
"Yeah, we were Mrs. Weasley, but Fred would also want us to move on with our lives as well," said Harry.
"Harry's right, Mom," said Ron. Hermione just beamed at this and gave Ron a kiss on the cheek for that. Mrs. Weasley just shook her head, because she knew that they were right. As she turned to go back downstairs, Harry and the others heard her saying, "When did those four grow up so quickly?" All four of them smiled.
"We definitely did grow up really fast," said Hermione.
"Hey, at least I grew up with the people I care about, and will always care about, right?" said Harry, as he put hand out.
"Right," said Ron putting his hand on top.
"You got it, Harry," said Hermione following suit with her hand.
"You know you guys aren't leaving me out of this," said Ginny as she put her hand as well. They then made it clear that they'll always be there for each other, no matter what the cost.
"Hey, I think we better join the others back downstairs, maybe share some of the love," Ron suggested. They all agreed. Ron wrapped Hermione with his arm and led the way out Harry and Ginny remained behind for a second. "Hey. Do you mean what you said, that you will always care about us?" she asked.
"Definitely," said Harry. Ginny smiled, gave her boyfriend a small kiss, and allowed him to wrap his arm around her to lead her back downstairs.
Everyone was in a somber mood when Harry and Ginny caught up with Ron and Hermione downstairs. Mrs. Weasley was in crying a little bit while leaning in an armchair. Ron and Ginny looked at each other and knew that her mother needed comfort. They went over to her to do that. Harry and Hermione decided to slip in the kitchen to make some tea for everybody.
"Man, they definitely are really sad that Fred's gone," said Hermione.
"That may be true, Hermione," said Harry, "but they do still have each other, plus us as well."
Hermione just looked at him and said, "When did you get so smart in the love department?"
"Believe me, Hermione," he said as he started to boil the water for the tea with his wand. "I'm not that smart. I'm just going by with what I learned." Hermione just smiled, but said to Harry," Oh if you're going by with what you learned, how come you can't perform the heating charm on the stove." Harry looked and sure enough, she was right. Harry probably figured he couldn't do it because he hadn't used his own wand in a long time. Harry though got it in the end, and with Hermione's help started making tea for everyone.
"Hey, just a question, but when are you going to get your parents back?" Harry asked her.
"I don't know," said Hermione. "But definitely after, Fred's funeral," she said, stopping a little when she said Fred's name. "I'm pretty sure Ron will want to come help me though."
"I can come too, if you want," Harry suggested. But Hermione said, "Actually Harry, I think you've done enough for now. Besides I want Ron to be just with me on this one. And I think there's a red-head who wants to be with you for a while." Harry definitely knew she was right. He hadn't been with Ginny in a long time, and he wanted some time with her. "You're right, Hermione, as always," he said, joking at the end a little. Hermione laughed, and with the tea made and poured into cups for them, headed back into the living room where the Weasleys were.
