Chapter 1-

"Ginny? Are you coming?" Ron asked his sister as the family left the graveyard.

Ginny Weasley stared with blank eyes toward the newly placed gravestone. Her heart slowly continued to break inside her chest. She didn't turn to face him, but quietly kneeled down so that she was on her knees. "Go ahead," she said in a low, hollow voice. "I'll apparate home." She quickly shut her eyes as tears threatened to fall.

Ron slowly walked over Ginny and placed a kiss on the top of her head. He knelt down beside her pulling her small body to his and whispered, "I love you, Ginny. Always remember that." With that, Ron stood up, cast on last glance at his sister and his brother's grave, took Hermione's hand, and left Ginny in peace.

A low thunder rolled across the sky as Ginny began to allow the tears to cascade down her face, sobbing into her hands. Her whole body hurt as she shook, and as much as she wished away the tears, they continued to fall. The soft rain that had begun to fall mixed with her salty tears; She felt hopeless.

All of the sudden, a pair of strong arms circled around Ginny. She didn't really know who it was, nor did she really care. She just cried. She wasn't sure how long she stayed there, but by the time she finally looked up, it had stopped raining and a bright rainbow was painted across the sky. But what surprised her most was when she turned to find a pair of brilliant emerald eyes looking down at her.

"Harry?" She whispered, her voice hoarse. "I thought you went home with everyone else."

"I'd never leave you Ginny," he replied. "Never again."

Ginny blinked hard as the tears came back to her eyes. "Harry, no, you don't have to say all that. You have so much to deal with. I can wait…"

"No," Harry firmly interrupted her. "Ginny, you're right. I do have a lot to deal with. But I want you to be with me while I work through it. I love you, and I can finally give you my future, Ginny. All you have to do is take it…"

Ginny looked into Harry's eyes and saw all of the emotions built up inside. Pain, grief, happiness, guilt, love… "Are you sure Harry? Because I love you too, but I'm not sure I can survive you dumping me again."

Harry stood up and pulled Ginny up with him. "I promise you, I'm not going anywhere."

She smiled and hugged Harry tightly. "Ok then. I'll take your future, if you'll take mine."

"I'll take it." Harry smiled. "Now lets go home."

"Ac-hem! Everyone, may i have your attention please!" Hermione's clear voice said over the chatter during dinner that night. Quickly, voices quieted and all eyes moved to look at Hermione. "Thank you," she began, "I just wanted to let everyone know that I am leaving tonight to go find my parents. I'm not sure how long I will be gone, but probably no more than a few months. I promise to owl all of you all of the time, and I know that I will miss you terribly, but this is something I have to do." She stopped as tears began to run down her face.

The whole room sat in silence for a moment, then they all began talking at once, asking questions and talking to Hermione. However, Mrs. Weasley's voice rang out above everyone else's.

"No! I forbid it! Hermione, dear, you are not my daughter by blood, but I see you as such, and I can not allow you to go out by yourself. V-Voldemort is gone, but it is still dangerous!"

"Mum, she won't be alone…" Ron shyly said as he put his arm around Hermione's shoulders. "I'm going with her. I love her and I don't want her to go alone either. We'll visit as much as we can, but we are going."

Mrs. Weasley's face turned very red and her eyes bulged slightly. "NO! I FORBID IT! NO! NO! NO! YOU ARE NOT…"

"MOTHER!" The whole room got deathly quiet as they all looked at Ron with looks of amazement. "Mum. We are going. This is important to her, so therefore it is important to me. I know you understand, Mum. Don't make us have to leave without your blessing. We are going wither you like it or not. We'll be ok."

Mrs. Weasley looked at them for a moment. "Ok. But you have to promise to come back for important events, such as birthdays and when Teddy moves in. And take care of each other. Please."

Ron and Hermione quickly stood, walked to where Mrs. Weasley was, and gave her a tight hug each. Then they both walked around the room, hugging each person before hurrying upstairs to pack.

Harry, who was sitting beside Ginny, looked at her and grabbed her hand under the table. "Come walk with me in the garden after they leave." Ginny nodded and continued to sip her tea.
