Ginny Weasley, for once in her life, did not want to go off to Hogwarts. She normally loved to go to her magical school, but this year was different. There would be no Ron, and more specifically no Harry. Sure, Hermione was going back in order to fully complete her education, but Ron and Harry were going straight into auror training. She and Harry had gotten back together over the summer, and had become inseparable. Ginny was really glad and quite frankly surprised that she and Harry had gotten away with so much that summer. She and Harry were not caught in too many overly compromising positions, and it seemed Mrs. Weasley's radar for trouble was off. Now it would be her first year at Hogwarts without him, and especially after the wonderful times they had spent together over the summer, it would be difficult to go back without him. There were also a whole host of bad memories that had now become associated with Hogwarts, after the battle in May. It was there that she had lost Remus, Tonks, and most importantly Fred. The memories would be hard to deal with, and Ginny didn't know how she would handle it without Harry. At least she would have the ever-studious Hermione to help her.

The whole Weasley clan, along with Harry, Hermione, Andromeda and Teddy Lupin were gathered at the Burrow for a celebration and dinner together before Ginny and Hermione set off for Hogwarts and Harry and Ron reported to the ministry to start auror training. The whole lot of them had had a hard summer, filled with grief and mourning. There had been some good times, and the whole family was gradually getting better. Harry and Ginny were together and Ron and Hermione had kind-of sort-of gotten together. You never knew where the two of them stood with each other.

The family sat down for dinner, an honorary place set for Fred, right next to George. After Mrs. Weasley's usual delicious feast, they moved into the garden to have dessert and socialize. Harry and Ginny stayed downstairs for a while but then they politely excused themselves from the family, claiming to be tired. They then headed up to Ginny's bedroom. As they closed the door and cast a silencing charm, Harry and Ginny had no idea what the consequences of the evening would be.

The next morning, Harry and Ginny awoke in her bed, savoring the little time they had together before Ginny headed off to Hogwarts. They were lying together for a bit, before Ginny realized that she was not packed. The two of them jumped up, hurried to throw on clothes then Ginny began to wave her wand wildly, packing as fast as she could. Harry grabbed his things from her room and carried them up to Ron's room where he had been staying. Ginny was luckily able to mostly finish packing and tidying up her room before her mom entered. Any evidence from the previous night's exploits had been removed and luckily it did not appear that her mum had noticed anything awry.

Harry, Ron, Ginny and Hermione went down to The Burrow's kitchen and prepared breakfast, gathering last minute things from around the house. Ginny glanced suspiciously at Hermione's turtleneck that appeared to be covering something on her neck.

A knowing glance passed between the two friends, and the twinge of red on Hermione's face told Ginny her assumptions were correct. The look that Hermione shot back did tell Ginny that her and Harry's activities had not gone unnoticed either.

Luckily for the two witches, everyone else seemed to be oblivious to their actions. The Burrow was a flurry of activity up until 10:30. At that point everyone grabbed their luggage and congregated in the garden of The Burrow. After dropping Hermione and Ginny off at the train, Harry and Ron, along with Mr. Weasley would apparate to the ministry to report for auror training.

Ginny, Harry, Ron, Hermione, Mr. Weasley and Mrs. Weasley all apparated and arrived outside King's Cross station. The odd bunch of wizards bobbed through the train stations, two trolleys between them. Harry and Ginny went first, running full speed at the wall, acting like fools. Ron and Hermione followed them and Mr. and Mrs. Weasley brought up the rear. Hermione and Ginny found a compartment on the train with Luna and then exited to say their goodbyes. Ginny said goodbye to her mum dad and brother first, leaving herself with alone time to spend with Harry.

The couple wound through the many young students to find a secluded corner in which to say their goodbye.

They instantly locked lips and shared a drawn out kiss that was tender yet passionate. They broke off to breathe and make sure that they weren't being watched. The coast was clear and Harry turned to Ginny.

"I'm really going to miss you Gin., especially after this summer."

"I know. It'll be hard, but at least I'll have Hermione and you'll have Ron," Ginny replied, fighting all the emotions threatening to spill over.

Harry put his hand to Ginny's cheek, "But Ron isn't you, and I sure hope Hermione isn't like me."

"I know, it'll be hard Harry. I'll really really miss you," Ginny felt a tear spill down her cheek.

The two of them settled into a comfortable embrace and took comfort from the other's presence. They were lost in their own little world until the train's whistle sounded and they had to get up and get Ginny to the train. The two of them emerged from the corner and rejoined Ron and Hermione. Ron hugged Ginny goodbye and Harry hugged Hermione.

Hermione and Ginny boarded the train and she and Hermione weaved through the people towards their compartment, both with heavy hearts.

They met Luna in the compartment and stood face's pressed against the window, waving to Harry and Ron in the window.

As the scarlet train pulled away, Harry and Ron became specks in the distance, until they disappeared. Ginny and Hermione resigned themselves to the next four months without Harry and Ron, and sat down on the plush red seats and caught up on their summers with Luna.
