Harry/Ginny: New Start

Harry woke up on the morning of May 3rd, 1998. He was puzzled for a moment. Wasn't he supposed to be in the woods somewhere, looking for horcruxes? The events of the last few days came rushing back to him in a bombardment. How could he have possibly forgotten? Because of him, so many were dead: Colin, Snape, Tonks, Remus, Fred… All because he chose to fight Voldemort.

Harry sat up and cried. He cried for baby Teddy, who would never know his parents. He cried for Severus Snape, who had never stopped fighting for right. He cried for everybody who had lost a family or friends during the war. Harry stopped being strong and let his emotions control him.

He stayed in this emotional state for quite some time. He knew that he would have to face the others. He left his bed and got ready to go down to the Great Hall, smiling when he saw Ron and Hermione had already awoken, and had left a note telling their whereabouts. It was a habit. In the woods, they would always leave each other notes, listing where they were and how long they would be gone. You could never be too careful.

Harry meandered down the sweeping staircase, stopping at the bottom to search for the Weasleys. A sudden, thundering applause startled hm. All of the occupants of the war-torn hall were clapping for him.

Through the midst of this noise, while blushing furiously, Harry located the swarm of red hair that meant his adopted family. He grinned at his two best friends, and grieved for Fred. After many minutes of remembrance of all those dead, the reconstruction started.

Before the rebuilding was too far underway, Harry found Ginny and pulled her aside. Then, he told her the whole story of what had happened during the horcrux hunt. By the time he was done, she had tears shining in her eyes. "Ginny, I love you more than anything in the world. Being without you was one of the hardest things I've ever had to do. Gin-" here Harry was interrupted by Ginny's lips on his. They were kissing, and it was better than any other kiss the two shared. It spoke of happiness, love, sadness and grief. But most of all, it spoke of a new start.
