Chapter one- The Talk

Ginny walked down the road on her way to The Burrow the latest letter she had received from Harry clutched tightly in her hand. Questions were racing through her mind why did he want to talk to her after all this time? Could he possibly want to get back together after all these years? No, she mustn't get her hopes up there is no way Harry would want a girlfriend after all that he had been through. Still in the letter he had asked her to talk to him sometime while they were both visiting for Christmas.

She knocked on the door and got a shock when Harry answered. She desperately wanted some kind of contact with him. To hold him or kiss him or something she couldn't stand being so close yet so far away. After all this time without even seeing him for a second he was standing less than two feet away. She looked into his eyes and it seemed as if a part of him was missing. She wanted to make it better, she wanted to put him back together again, but she knew there was nothing she could do until he let her back into his life.

"I thought it would be you so I told your mom I would get it. We need to talk if that is okay with you," said Harry nervously.

"Oh, yeah sure," said Ginny. She really hoped he wanted to talk to her about getting back together not staying apart. She knew that he had been through alot, but she also knew if he just let her help him she could get him through it and on to the next part of his life.

Harry grabbed her hand and led her to Ron's old room and shut the door. Ginny sat down on the edge of the bed her hand tingling where Harry had just held it. Now that they had touched she need to touch him more she was afraid if she didn't she wouldn't have another chance to but she was equally afraid that if she did touch him he would flip out and they would never have another chance to be together. Harry paced nervously around the room before suddenly stopping and looking at her.

"Ginny, I really need you to hear me out before you say anything okay, you have to promise," he said in a tone of anxiety.

"I promise Harry just please tell me," she replied in a voice full of anguish. She needed to know what was going to happen next and she needed to know now.

"Okay, here goes I am not going to say that breaking up with you was a mistake because I know it wasn't actually it might be the only thing I ever did right if I hadn't of broken up with you, you probably would have ended up dead and that is the last thing I want. Although, I would now like to ask you to give me a second chance there is nothing in the world I would like more than to hold you in my arms right now but if you don't want to take me back I completely understand."

"Harry, there is nothing I would like more than to give you a second chance I understand why you had to break up with me and I don't blame you I would have done the same thing if I were you."

Harry walked over to the bed and sat down next to her. Ginny wanted nothing more than for him to touch her, but he looked as though he needed to make sure she really wanted to give him another chance.

"You're sure you really want to give me a second chance?" he asked uncertainly.

"Of course I'm sure."

Harry wrapped his arms around her, pulled her tight and kissed her lightly on the lips.

"Thank you Ginny Weasley, now I think we should probably get out of here and tell your family and Hermione before one of your brothers barges in and kills me for touching you." Harry said jokingly.

"Yeah you are probably right," she replied with a smile. She was so happy they were back together and she wanted nothing more than to sit in that room with him and hug and kiss, but he was right about needing to tell her family. Ginny and Harry walked back downstairs toward the party. Ginny wasn't sure how her family would take it since Harry had hurt her pretty badly the first time. Hopefully they would understand that he did what he did to protect her and that she respected him for it. She was pretty sure that Ron would take it okay after all he had said himself it was better Harry than Dean, but she wasn't sure how her mom would take it. She turned to Harry with her heart racing and managed to give him a weak smile before entering the room that the party was taking place in.

"Everyone Ginny and I would like to announce something." Harry stated loudly.

Everyone turned to look at them and Ginny could have sworn they all already knew what he was about to say. Well, her and Harry had disappeared together for quite awhile I guess it was just common sense to assume they were talking about their relationship.

"Ginny has graciously decided to give me a second chance and take me back," said Harry.

Everyone just sat there for a second before Mrs. Weasley finally broke the silence with, "Well it's about time you two finally got back together!"

"Well said Mum," said Ron, Fred and George all at the same time.

Harry quickly looked around the room for Hermione and saw her giving them an approving smile and felt instantly relieved.

Ginny let out of a sigh of relief and turned to see Harry smiling bigger than he had the day of their first kiss. She was so glad her family approved of everthing and that everything could go back to the way it used to be.

"Well that was a whole lot easier than I expected," Ginny said with relief.

"Just what I was thinking," agreed Harry.

Harry was very relieved to have everyone's approval especially Ron's since after all he was his best friend. He was also very glad to have Mrs. Weasley's approval because he had all ways respected her opinion. Harry started to walk to the kitchen and motioned for Ginny to follow.

Ginny happily followed with her mind racing. What did he want now? Why did he want her to follow him?

Once they got into the kitchen Harry grabbed hold of Ginny and kissed her. In that moment with their lips touching time seemed to freeze and Harry felt like the luckiest man in the world.

"Oh, so that's what you wanted," Ginny said jokingly a mischievous grin on her face. She needed his touch as much as possible now that they were back together because she always felt safer and happier whenever they were touching so she took hold of his hand.

Harry returned the grin and led her back into the party.

With Harry's hand in hers Ginny felt like nothing could harm her. She felt like life was perfect and she could never want anything more than to just be with Harry and to have him hold her. She knew he had been through a lot and times might sometimes get tough. After all he had now faced Voldemort six times and he had had to kill him the latest time. She knew that that must have been hard on him, but she also knew that whatever he had to go through she could help him. After all he had helped her so many times it was about time she helped him.

"Harry, I just want you to know that you can talk to me about anything and if you ever have a problem I will be here for you," Ginny told him gently.

"Ginny, I know that and I hope you know that I will all ways be there for you if you ever need to talk or need a shoulder to lean on," Harry replied sweetly.

The rest of the night seemed to pass quickly with Harry by her side and she couldn't believe it when the night was over. She was glad that they were both staying several nights and with that thought she leaned over and gave Harry a good night kiss and retreated to her old room while Harry went to Ron's old room. With Ron by his side.
