Alright so this is my 3rd story that I've wrote so far and I have for the most part gotten pretty good reviews. I decided to write this because I think this is one of the most important parts of Harry and Ginny's relationship. So I will say it now and I will say it again PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE REVIEW! I don't care if you write that you hated it just tell me WHY so I can make it better. If you loved it tell me WHY so I can continue to do things like this. I write to read the reviews, to know what you think, what's the point if you don't know what people think about it.
Disclaimer: As much as I wish I did I don't now and never will own this.
It's finally over, the war, the fight, the worrying, it was gone. Happiness spread through me before I remembered the cost of it. Everyone who died whether it was a surprise attack at their homes or just a little while ago, fighting for a better future. Fred, who was just like a brother to me, Collin, who wasn't even allowed to fight and snuck back in. Tonks and Lupin who just had a baby, a baby who needed his parents and if it wasn't for me Teddy would have had them. They would never watch Teddy grow up but, with me as godfather I wouldn't let Teddy grow up without knowing his parents. I couldn't help it but let guilt spread through me.
"Harry?" a concerned voice asked me. I turned and looked at my two best friends. The friends that stood with me from the beginning 'till the end no matter how hard things got. "Please tell me you aren't blaming this all on yourself, you know it wasn't your fault," Hermione said. Her eyes looked red from crying, she looked like she hadn't slept in days, and come to think of it she probably hasn't.
"I'm not blaming myself, I'm not that daft, but look at poor Teddy. His parents just died and he has no one but Andromeda. Collin, he wasn't even of age yet, he didn't even have the chance to experience life. And, and Fred," I stuttered. I looked at Ron. His eyes were red and puffy from crying, he like Hermione looked tired and warn out. Hermione took Ron's hand and pulled him and me in to a hug.
We separated and started walking to the Gryffindor tower knowing that we all needed to sleep.
I opened my eyes and the day before came flooding back but with that also came the pain from places I didn't even know existed. Whether I liked it or not I knew I would have to go and see Madam Pomfrey but they're were two things I had to do first.
I walked to the boy's bathroom stiff, like I hadn't walked in ages.
Taking a shower was an experience I didn't know how I lived without. My muscles were sore and the hot water running on them felt good. All too soon I remembered why I got out of bed in the first place. I finished up in the bathroom and walked downstairs to see Ron and Hermione curled up on the couch.
"Where have you been?" I looked up to see Ginny Weasley's face. This couldn't be good. "I thought you were dead! What were you thinking?" She yelled
"Well I was thi-"
"That's just it you weren't. How could you do that to me, Harry?" she whispered the last part to me.
By this time Ron and Hermione had been awakened by the sound and didn't look happy about it.
"Everyone kept telling me you were dead, that there was no hope!" She started screaming again. "Do you know how hard it was?" I had to do something before she woke the whole tower up. "All the slytherins' taunts." She continued. "The death-eaters an-" I silenced her by pulling her close to me and kissing her. At first she stood there stunned than slowly started to respond. She tangled her fingers in my hair no doubt making it messier than before, no matter how impossible it sounds.
We broke away due to lack of oxygen. A smile creped up on her face and went in for a hug. I slid the hair in her face behind her ear and whispered so that only she could hear me. "I don't know if you would want to but before you answer hear me out. Leaving you was harder than everything I've ever done plus more. I don't know how you feel but I'm positive this is the way I feel. I love you and have since that kiss in the common room after the match didn't realize it until Dumbledore's funeral and was to scared to say so, but I'm not letting the opportunity slip by this time, so Ginny Weasley I love you and want to know if you would take me back." I said with a smile on my face.
"I don't know Neville looked pretty hot when he killed Nagini." She laughed
"What!" I yelled not catching on. "I swear I will do anything Gin, anyth-" This time she cut me off by pressing her lips on mine.
She broke away all too soon. "I was teasing you prat!" she said while holding her mouth trying to hold in her laugh.
"Oh is that right?" I asked with a mischievous grin but she was to busy laughing to notice. I picked her up and started swinging her around. "Harry stop! Put me down!" she screamed and laughed all at the same time.
"Not until you say you will never tease Harry Potter again for he is the boy who lived… twice!" I said with mock seriousness.
"Never!" she yelled
"Then I guess I will just have to tickle you!"
She started laughing uncontrollably as I sat her on the couch and started tickling her. "Fine, fine I surrender! I will never tease Harry Potter again for he is the boy who lived twice!" she laughed "Then died when his girlfriend killed him for tickling her!"
"Aghhh! Hermione make them stop it's so gross! Ron said playfully. "But for real don't ever hurt my sister again or I will kill you."
"Don't worry Ron I wont, I was stupid and it was the hardest thing to do in my life," I said smiling at Ginny.
"Shut up Ron, leave them be." Hermione said.
At that moment the rest of the Weasley's came down the stairs looking really sad but not letting it show.
"What's going on down here?" Mrs. Weasley asked.
"Oh just Harry and Ginny being disgustingly sweet." Ron answered casually.
She raised her eyebrow, but then I decided to speak up. "Mrs. Weasley I'm really sorry about Fred I shouldn't have let it happen.
Instead of Mrs. Weasley answering it was George. "Harry, it wasn't your fault we chose to do this knowing that dieing was a huge possibility but we made each other promise that if one of us died we wouldn't mope and would celebrate the good times we had, so yeah its going to be really hard, yes we still will cry a little, and most importantly, I will have to live for the both of us which means that yes, you will all have more pranks and teasing going on starting with you Ginny and Harry. "What going on with you and Harry, the boy who lived… too many times to count, Potter, Ginerva?" We started to laugh and let all the worries slip away for later.
That's when I knew it would be okay. I had Ginny and the Weasleys, It would be hard but things would eventually start to be okay again.
Soo that's it! I might stop here and I might go on so once again I will say, REVIEW PLEASE! I want to know what you thought was good and bad and if I should write more or not.
