Harry Potter Fan Fiction

Chapter 1 – Ginny

After his discussion about the deathly hallows in Dumbledore's office- Harry wondered if there will ever be a time that he won't think of that office as Dumbledore's.- he walked along to the common room accompanied by Ron and Hermione.

They were having a discussion about something that at this moment in time Harry neither knew nor cared about.

He only had one thing on his mind right now and that was a certain fiery haired girl who it just so happened he was in love with. He wanted to see her but at the same time wasn't sure what he would say. Would she still feel the same way about him now as she did the last time he had been at Hogwarts just under a year ago?

Would she be angry at him?

Harry knew this was a stupid question. Of course she would be angry at him. He had left her here in Hogwarts while he was out in search of the missing horcruxes. He stood by this decision as it was way too dangerous a situation for an underage witch to be put under. She didn't know what Harry had been going through though and he made a promise to himself that he would explain everything to her if she gave him the chance.

There was also the matter of her not knowing where he was and if he was even still alive. He hadn't wrote to her for fear that the owl may be intercepted and while he could have wrote a letter telling her that he was ok but not giving any vital information if that letter got into the hands of death eaters there would be the possibility that they would go after her to try and get as much information out of her as possible and who knows what means they would use to get her to talk although she was very stubborn and probably wouldn't have gave in. This thought worried Harry more as undoubtedly this would anger the death eaters more and who knows what would have happened to her then. No, Harry thought, he still whole heartedly agreed with his decision not to have any contact with her over this period of time.

Harry always knew that if he never got killed by Voldemort that this day would come. The day that he would have to explain everything to her and just hope that she still loved him enough to forgive him.

For that's what it came down to.

Yes, he knew that she would be angry with him but he thought that if she feels for him the way he feels for her then maybe there might be a chance that she will forgive him.

Even if by some miracle she does forgive him, Harry knew he had some grovelling to do and that he wasn't going to be forgiving easily.

Harry came out of his silent reverie as he stood facing the fat lady.

He realised with a tad annoyance that he didn't know the password he turned to look at Hermione and Ron and realised that they too didn't have the faintest idea what the password was.

Harry turned and looked at the fat lady. He went to speak – his voice cracked as though he hadn't spoken in a long time when in fact it had only been a matter of minutes since his discussion with Dumbledore – he cleared his throat and started again.

"I'm sorry, but none of us know the password. Is there any chance you could still let us in?"

"Well…" the fat lady started, indecisively, "I'm really not supposed to let anyone in without a password, but for the hero of the wizarding world I am sure I can make an exception."

Harry was about to argue that he wasn't a hero but the portrait swung open which left Harry nothing to do but enter the common room. As Harry expected the common room was empty.

Well empty except for a small figure of a pretty red headed young girl sitting silently in a corner staring resolutely into space her eyes unmoving.

At the sound of them clambering through the portrait hole she turned and faced them and slowly but still just as silent she stood and stared at Harry.

"I think we will just head off to bed." Hermione stated, rather awkwardly as she pulled on Ron's sleeve

"Yea night." Ron agreed.

With that they both walked past and started heading up the two separate staircases to their beds.

Harry watched them go before turning back around to look at the one girl who he could not live without. The reason he had to come back to this world and had not just gone on after being hit by the killing curse in the forest. He turned and looked at the girl who held his heart and who ultimately could break it.

Ginny.
