Harry had just destroyed Lord Voldemort and was at the Burrow.

Chapter 1: The Death

"I can't believe he is gone," cried Hermione.

Mrs. Weasley was sobbing on her husband's shoulder. Every Weasley was there, along with Neville, Luna, Hagrid and Professor McGonagall. George was in his room refusing to come out.

"Fred died very bravely," Professor McGonagall pointed out.

"I just wish he didn't have to die," responded Ginny.

"We all wish that," snapped Ron.

"I was just pointing it out."

"It's okay Ginny, you didn't say anything wrong," Harry said.

"Thanks."

"Okay, it's time for bed," Mr. Weasley finally said.

Everyone nodded and went off toward their rooms, while Luna, Neville, Hagrid, and McGonagall said their goodbyes and went home.

Harry was walking to Ron's room when he saw Ron and Hermione cuddled together on the bed, crying. He eased out of the room and was about to go to Hermione's room when he realized that was Ginny's room. As soon as he thought that, he saw a fiery redhead peak out of her room and motion for him to go over.

"If you want you can stay in here," Ginny said.

"Umm… would that be okay?" asked Harry.

"Sure, but you will sleep in Hermione's bed."

"Okay, beat's sleeping on the couch."

Harry walked into the room and saw Hermione's bed and immediately went to it. Ginny was gathering things so she could go take a shower.

"I'll be right back," Ginny said.

Harry nodded and decided to change in his pajamas while Ginny was bathing. Harry sat on the bed waiting for Ginny. After ten minutes, Ginny arrived with wet hair, dressed in pajama shorts and a tank top. It was something so simple, and yet she managed to take Harry's breath away.

"Okay, time for bed," Ginny said.

Harry just nodded and started to lay down as Ginny turned off the lights with her wand. Harry was just about to drift off in a sleep, when he heard sniffing coming from Ginny's bed. Not sure what to do, Harry finally spoke, "Ginny, are you all right?"

" What…oh, yeah"

Harry expected the sobbing to stop but it just got worse.

"No you're not"

Harry got up and went to her bed and sat at the foot of her bed. He waited for her to say anything, but she remained quiet. Finally, Harry said, "tell me what's wrong." Ginny did not want to show her sensitive side, but she needed to vent.

"It's just I am scared."

"Of what, we defeated Voldemort?"

"Of everything. I'm terrified for what is going to happen to my family, what is going to happen at Hogwarts, where I'm going to go after that and what is going to happen to…" she took a long pause and looked in Harry's beautiful eyes, "us," she continued.

Harry was shocked. Ginny, the tough, gorgeous girl, bore her fears to him. Harry realized that she was looking up at him with the perfect green eyes, expecting him to say anything, but he couldn't think of any words. So, he kissed her passionately and with an unyielding hunger. Ginny returned the kiss. They parted for air. Breathing deeply, Harry said, "I hope that covers the worries about us, and for the rest, don't be scared, I'll be there for you."

"Are you sure you want to be in a relationship with me?"

"When I was gone searching for the horcruxes, I could not stop thinking about you. It would kill me if I was not with you."

Ginny leaped and began snogging Harry Potter senseless.
