Yes, another after the war story. Haha.. I myself am just fascinated with the possibilities of how exactly Ginny and Harry getting back together and Hermione and Ron getting together officially came about. OH THE HOLES FROM THE LAST CHAPTER TO THE EPILOGUE. Well, this is basically a story filling in the holes that haunt me.. Ginny & Harry and Hermione & Ron based story. I'm a huge Potter fan. I do not obviously own any Harry Potter or the story or the characters, all rights go to J.K Rowling. Enjoy and review. J
The war was finished, the fighting over; at least for now. Harry Potter had defeated The Dark Lord once and for all despite the skeptics in the Wizarding World who were still unsure of their safety. Harry lay in Ron's bedroom a week and three days after the war and thought of everything; Voldermort, Sirius, Fred, Remus, Tonks, Snape, Dobby, Ginny… Especially Ginny. They had yet to talk about absolutely anything. He thinks of their last kiss on his previous birthday in the Weasley's kitchen. He desperately wanted to talk to her although he hadn't the slightest idea of what he'd say. Her shouts when he was pretending to be gone and dead in Hagrid's arms echoed in his head. He hurt her so severely. He believed firmly that he didn't deserve a second chance and knowing Ginny, what he'd get was unexpected.
The minutes ticked by till it was nearly midnight. Harry rose out of bed and sleepily went downstairs and out the doors of The Burrow and headed outside. The moon shone in all it's beauty down at everything while Harry made his way to the pond. He was staring at his feet the whole way there which is why he immediately got startled to see that someone was sitting next to the pond. He pulled out his wand (instinct), but discovered it was not a Death Eater or enemy; but a young woman with fiery red hair that glowed in the moonlight. Ginny.
"No need to have your wand out, we're safe. Hermione and mum put enchantments around the house. Just being cautious I assume." Harry wasn't sure what to say but her voice made him feel calm and he put his wand away slowly yet stayed silent. Ginny looked up at him slightly hopeful that he'd say something but when he didn't, she got up.
"I'll go, I'll see you in the morning, Harry." She went past him, her flowery scent intoxicating him. "No! Gin, no, please can we.. talk?" She halted, closed her eyes, took a deep breath and turned around nodding slowly and unsure.
They sat next to each other with an awkward space between the two near the pond. "Listen, Gin I don't exactly know what to-," Harry Started but Ginny interrupted. "I do. And if you don't mind, may I start?" Harry nodded understandingly. She took another deep breath and began.
