Chapter 1
She didn't care that she was suppose to be mourning her brother, and all the many others. All she could think of was the fact that she was back in his arms. With her head resting on his chest she sighed in contentment, hopeful things could go back to the way they where before this awe full war. She heard the door of the seventh year boy's dormitory open with a small creak. Rolling over, while being careful not to wake the sleeping figure beside her, she saw her mother, Molly Weasley, walk in.
"Comfortable?" She asked giving her daughter a small watery smile.
"Very." Was the reply she got, as her daughter rolled back over.
"Ginny, dear, you need to let Harry rest. He has had an awful long day." Mrs. Weasley scolded lightly.
"He is resting. I'm just resting with him." Ginny stated matter-of-factly to her mother.
"Ugh! What am I going to do with you?" Mrs. Weasley exclaimed. As she did Harry stirred in his sleep. Both mother and daughter sighed in relief when he settled.
"Please mom?" Ginny tried again to convince her mother that she could stay there.
"Alright dear," Mrs. Weasley said hesitantly. "Just get some sleep? And you're explaining why your here when he wakes up." At that she turned and left, leaving Ginny chuckling into Harry's chest before falling back into a peaceful sleep.
After what felt like only mere minutes Ginny was once again awoken from sleep. This time by what sounded like her brother Ron yelling. "What the bloody hell!" And then her best friend and his new girlfriend, Hermione Granger, saying in a harsh whisper, "Leave them alone! They haven't seen each other u-in a year." This was followed by the groaning of mattress springs, as Ron and Hermione sat on the bed closest to the one she was in.
"Don't they look peaceful?" Ginny heard Hermione whisper in awe, "I haven't seen Harry look that peaceful in….. I don't know how long!" After deciding it was safe to go back to sleep without interruption, she heard a mattresses groan and then.
"No! Don't wake them! Ronald!" But Hermione was too late Ron had already shaken Ginny hard enough that she couldn't fane sleeping. She rolled over, and since she had started sleeping with her wand under her pillow, she wiped it out and pointed it straight at Ron's forehead. He backed away slowly with his hands up in surrender. Ginny laughed, for what seemed like the first time in what seemed like forever. She walked over and sat next to Hermione, because she knew that was what her brother wanted. In response to her laughter Harry's eyes fluttered open. As Ron handed him his glasses Harry muttered a thanks. Though when his eyes fell on Ginny he broke into a bright smile and said "Hey!" Ginny simply laughed at him and responded with, "Hey yourself." Harry then patted the seat next to him and asked if she wanted to sit with him. So Ginny got up and walked over to sit by him. When she got there Harry wrapped his arms around her thin waist and pulled onto his lap. Ginny then snaked her arms around his him, and nestled her head into his neck. Breathing in the smell that even after so long still smelled familiar to her senses.
"Oi! I'm right here!" Ron exclaimed.
"Ron! Leave them alone!" Hermione repeated herself from earlier.
"She's my LITTLE sister, and he's my best mate!" Ron said putting a lot more emphasis then needed on little.
"Come on Ronald! He just won a war! Let him spend some time with me! After all he is the Chosen One." Ginny said with a smirk, knowing Harry's hatred of being called the "Chosen One". They all laughed when Harry's face grimaced at being called this. Ginny crawled deeper onto Harry's lap and buried her head in his shoulder. "I missed you." Ginny's voice was muffled by his shirt, but they all heard. Hermione knowing that they needed to talk got up and pulled Ron out the door.
"I missed you to. I drove Ron and Hermione crazy with my constant worrying about you." He said with a small smile.
"You don't have to worry now."
"I know. Because you are here and I will never leave you again." Harry promised.
"I think I can live with that."
