I Won't Give Up

Ginny sighed. It was the beginning of another long summer. Only this time, she and Ron were forbidden to go to number 12. Ron had told her that before he left school, Dumbledore had made him secret keeper to Hermione's location. It terrified Ginny in a way, that her older brother of all people was the secret keeper for one of her closest friends. She had asked Ron why it wasn't Harry. In a typical Ron-like way, he had answered that Harry already had protection. He hadn't told anyone else. Not even Harry. In return, Hermione was made secret keeper to both Ginny and Ron.
Ginny looked over at her brother. Who would have ever thought that he would read a book during the summer? She frowned.
"Ron? What are you reading?"
"Hmm?" He looked up.
"What are you reading?"
She watched as Ron slowly smiled.
"Come' ere Gin."
She walked over and sat next to him in the oversized, overstuffed, patched chair. "Hogwarts, A History? Ronald Christopher Weasley! Why are you reading that?" She smiled.
"Well, I got tired of Hermione continually pointing out things 'we would just know if we read this book' so, I'm reading it."
Ginny began to laugh, but her laughter suddenly turned to tears.
"Gin? What's wrong?" Ron put the book down, "Gin? Come on Gin, don't cry!"
"I'm so scared Ron!"
"Ah, come on Gin."
"No, Ron, I am. What if I loose Harry.or.or.Hermione, Luna.what if I loose you Ron? I think that scares me the most! What if I loose you?"
"Gin, you'll never loose me. I'm your big brother. I'd be your guardian angel if any thing happened to me. I'll always be there. And so will the rest of the DA. Now, who are you? What are you Gin?"
"I'm a Weasley."
"A Weasley? And what do Weasley's do?"
"Refuse to give up. I'm Virginia Weasley." Ginny smiled. "And I won't give up."
