Chapter 1: Coming Home/Confrontation

And I don't know

This could break my heart or save me

Nothing's real

Until you let go completely

So here I go with all my thoughts I've been saving

So here I go with all my fears weighing on me

Ginny stepped out of the shower in her new flat. It was early on a Saturday morning in August. She had been living in Australia for the past five years, and had only moved back to England the day before. Ginny missed her family while away, and her letters home were far and few between. She knew that coming back home was going to be either the best or worse decision of her life, and it was the latter that she feared most. Just as Ginny finished getting dressed there was a soft knock on her front door. When Ginny answered the door it was Luna, her best friend, on the other side. Luna was the person who Ginny felt the most comfortable confiding in.

"Thank you so much for this Luna. I owe you one." Ginny said while grabbing her purse.

"It's no problem I'm happy to help." replied Luna

"It shouldn't take me too long to get what I need and come back."

"Take all the time you need. I don't have any other plans for today ,so I'm in no rush."

"Ok and thanks again. Oh and try not to be so critical when you read my article this time." said Ginny

Luna laughed "Me being critical is what helps you become a better writer."

"If you say so. Bye Luna"

"Bye Ginny"

When Ginny finished shrinking her packages she looked up, and noticed Hermione walking down the street.

"Hello Hermione, long time no see."

Hermione looked at Ginny, squealed, and then gave her a big hug. When Hermione finally let go Ginny could breathe again.

"I've missed having you around Ginny."

"I've missed you too Hermione."

Hermione took a step back, put her hands on her hips and gave Ginny a calculating look. "Five Years! What do you have to say for yourself young lady?"

Ginny sighed. "I'm sorry about not writing to you much. I just got caught up in a few things."

"I understand and the important thing is that you came back. You are staying aren't you?"

"Yes I transferred offices."

"Good. I was just about to head over to the Cannons quidditch pitch to meet up with Ron you should come with me. I know that he would be thrilled to see you."

"Sure but only for a little bit because I need to get home and finish unpacking."

"Let's go then."

They arrived at the quidditch pitch a moment later and were let in by a guard who knew Hermione. The players were standing together listening to an end of practice speech. When the group broke apart, Hermione called Ron's name. Ginny watched as Ron turned around saw them, did a double take, and then ran over. When he reached the two women he grabbed Ginny up into a hug.

"Ginny it's so good to see my little sister again." Ron let go of Ginny

"It's good to see you too big brother." Ginny smiled and then she noticed someone else had joined their group.

"Hello Ginny"

Ginny's smile grew "Hello Harry" then she gave Harry a hug

"I was hoping you would come to your senses and come back. When did you get back?" Asked Harry

"Yesterday, and before you ask yes I'm here to stay."

"That's the best news I've heard in a long time." Harry said softly

Ginny started to blush slightly. She was just about to ask Harry something when she saw a man with dark brown hair and blue eyes approaching from behind Harry.

"What are you doing here Matthew?"

Matthew gave Ginny a cocky smile "Is that any way to greet your husband."
