Chapter one
It was a warm summer's night at the Burrow and everything was silent. Even Ron had stopped snoring. Suddenly a high pitch scream tore through the air.
On the fifth floor a boy - no man - with jet black hair and sparkling emerald eyes shot up wide awake. Immediately he threw the covers off, grabbed his glasses, ran past Ron and down two flights of stairs. Crashing through the door he realized who was screaming... Ginny. It nearly broke his heart. He sprinted past Hermione, who was frozen in shock, and sat on the edge of Ginny's bed. Harry pulled Ginny into his arms. She snuggled down into his chest as her sobs calmed to sniffs and hiccups. While Harry whispered comforting words the rest of the house (minus Teddy) crept down. They were the Weasleys, Sirius, Remus, Tonks, Hermione, Dobby, Winky and Kreacher. Teddy was amazingly still asleep.
"Harry...are you okay?" Molly asked walking over her face full of motherly concern. Harry looked up from tucking a piece of hair behind Ginny's ear as she snuggled deeper into him when she heard her mother's voice. When he looked up he realised that he had an audience.
"Oh, hey Mrs Weasley." he answered "Why don't you all go downstairs and get some hot chocolate. We will be down in a little while."
"Okay. Oh and Harry please call me Molly." she told him. Everyone moved downstairs and into the living room.
Once they were alone Harry turned to the gorgeous red head curled into him with tears in his eyes.
"Gin please tell me what is wrong. Please, tell me what they did. Please."
Ginny took a deep breath to steady herself and to remind herself that Harry wasn't going to abandon her just because of a few scars to matter what her inner demon was saying ; who sounded worryingly like Alecto Carrow. "Th the nightmare w was about the C Carrows last year."
Harry held her tighter giving her the support she needed to carry on.
"When Neville, Luna or I ever got a detention they w wo woul"
"You can tell me Ginny I will always be here for you." Harry reassured her and he took her hand and squeezed it tight within his own. She took a deep breath and continued.
"Thanks. They would C Crucio us." she sniffed "they t tried to get information out of us."
She took a deep breath and Harry gave her hand a quick squeeze." they w whipped, cut and beat us. But we never broke. Never!" tears ran down her cheeks as she finished looking up at him pure terror in her eyes.
"Ginny I am so so proud of you. I don't think many people could have done what you Luna and Neville did." Harry whispered. He thought over what they had done to her. What they had done to his Ginny, and then he got very very angry. Window panes started rattling from an unseen wind.
"Harry, calm down please. I need you to calm Ron down for me but you can't do that if you want to rip their head off now can you." Ginny tried to joke feebly
