Ginny woke up and looked out her window. Lord V-Voldermort...why couldn't she think the name! Anyways, Voldermort had been killed. But where was Harry? No one knew.
She suspected that Dumbledore would know if he were still alive, but as Snape had killed him, she couldn't be sure.
Harry hadn't been seen since the previous Christmas. For that matter, Ron and Hermione hadn't either. They had come to the Burrow for Christmas and they'd looked very thin and tired.
Flashback
"Mum! There they are!" Ginny had yelled.
Molly ran to the door. It was freezing outside.
"Ginny, go get some blankets and extra clothes. They must have frostbite by now," Ginny's mother had ordered. They were the only two home.
Ginny ran upstairs to the closet and pulled out all the blankets she could find. Then she went to Ron's room and pulled out a bunch of Weasley sweaters from past Christmas's. She had just stepped into her own room to get Hermione clothes when she heard a pop. Ginny had whirled around as fast as she could to find the three standing there. Mrs. Weasley ran up the stairs a few seconds later.
"Come down stairs and get some soup." Molly ordered.
Mrs. Weasley had not agreed with the three of them going off after Voldermort. Ginny would have gone too, but Harry practically begged her to stay. And even if he had wanted her to, Mrs. Weasley said that she couldn't until she was seventeen.
"Soup would be great, Mrs. Weasley." Hermione said and flashed Molly a smile. It was good to know that they didn't have it so bad that they'd forgotten manners.
"Give me some!" said Ron with dreamy look in his eyes. Well, he never had any manners to begin with, anyways.
They ran down the stairs after Mrs. Weasley.
"Harry, are you coming!" Hermione yelled from downstairs.
"Yeah! Give me a minute." he yelled back. He then turned and looked Ginny in the eye.
Ginny smiled and took a seat on the edge of her bed.
"How's school going?" he asked her.
"It's okay. Professor McGonagall keeps prodding me for information, but I haven't told her anything. Nothing that you wouldn't want me to anyways. I told her why you weren't at school this year, but I haven't given her any details. So, how is it going?"
"Well, it's going pretty on track, so far.
We've found the locket and the cup from Hufflepuff. Also, we found out that he couldn't get anything from Gryffindor so it must be something of Ravenclaw's.
Hermione's been a big help with helping to get information and erasing memories." Harry said before walking over and sitting next to her.
"I've really missed you. I want this to be over, you know? Well, kind of. I guess I'm picky, I want it to be over, but I want you to beat him, because I don't know what I'd do if I lost you." she said letting out a tear.
Harry put his arm around her and gave her a quick kiss.
"I love you, Ginny." he said and let out a surprised gasp.
"What?"
"I wasn't going to tell you that! I wasn't going to let myself unless I was sure I would be able to stay with you."
"Harry?"
"Yeah?"
"I love you too."
"I'm sorry. I didn't want to have to put you through this."
"The words don't change things. I loved you before I said them. My feelings haven't changed any because of this." Ginny wrapped her arms around Harry's and put her head on his shoulder.
"Harry! Ginny! Are you two coming! We have an important announcement!
End of Flashback
"Ginny! I need your help in the kitchen!
Bill and Fleur are coming by today with Gabby and the baby!"
"Coming Mum!"
