Chapter One: Back At Home

"GET OUT!" Ginny shouted across the room, when Harry stood there doing nothing.

"Ginny you have to let me explain! Please. It only happened twice!" He quickly gasped and covered his mouth.

"TWICE! You expect me to forgive you for that TWICE! I was going over to her house to give her back a potions book I borrowed, and you have the balls to snog Cho! I thought you told me eight years ago that it was over! It was just a fling, not a thing." Ginny quickly gathered a suitcase and started packing all of her clothes.

"Ginny, she kissed me! I tried to stop, but she suffocated me!"

"Yeah, I'm sure she suffocated you with your tongue down her throat." Ginny growled throwing a couple of books and extra items in the suitcase and zipped it up.

"Where are you going? Can't we just talk about this?" Harry tried to grab her, but she moved out of the way and huffed.

"I'm going home, since you won't leave. My parents know I'm coming and are disappointed in you. We did just talk and now I'm finished." Before Harry could stop her, she grabbed floo powder and through it in the fire place, said the name of her old home and was gone. When she stepped out, she quickly hexed the fire place so he couldn't follow her and she started walking up the stairs.

It was five years after the war and six years since she graduated. She was engaged to Harry, and now thought twice about it. She didn't catch him the first time, only heard from her friends that he'd been out with Cho, but she turned her head and didn't believe it. She figured if he loved her, he'd stay with her and not hurt her, well she was wrong. She always thought it was weird that he never wanted to get married soon, she always brought it up and he always brushed it away saying they'd talk about it later. They never did.

Once she was all packed in and everything looked just how it did before she moved out, she went downstairs. Things were much quieter, after Fred dying and George moving out. Hermione and Ron moved in together and were also engaged, they were getting married in a month. It was just the parents at home and now her. Ginny didn't have a job and applied for many jobs in her area. She thought for a moment that maybe that was why Harry wanted to move on and be with someone who could make money, but the thing was she did everything around the house. Harry came home, she did the cleaning, the cooking, the washing, the scrubbing; she did everything. But tonight she just wanted to eat with the parents in peace, sleep in her old bed and wake up to her mother's breakfast. She missed her family; she called them right after finding Harry in Cho's room.

She heard her parents moving around downstairs and decided to join them. She went downstairs and was greeted by her mother first.

"Ginny! Are you alright?" She grabbed her in for a hug and tried to comfort her. Ginny only nodded and held in tears.

"Yeah mum. I'm fine."

"There's food on the table already heated if you want some. Feel free to chow down hun." Molly walked towards the kitchen with Ginny and opened the door for her. Ginny followed, walked through the kitchen and sat down at the table.

"How's my pumpkin?" Ginny turned around excited. She knew that voice. She hugged her father and her parent joined her at the table.

"I've been better. Harry's a real jerk." Ginny took a deep breath and began telling her parents about borrowing the book from Cho and going back to return it. Once she was finished, she began chowing down and finishing her glass before either parent spoke.

Finally her mum spoke up, "Ginny, you know your father and I both love you right? Harry had no right to do that. I always knew that boy was up to no good. Always getting into trouble with Ron and everything," she shook her head and continued. "Ginny, what you did was right. He doesn't deserve another chance. You deserve to find someone different, someone who isn't like Harry."

"Like who a Malfoy?" Ginny snorted and giggled to herself before looking up and immediately stopping from the looks she was receiving. "I was kidding…"

"Sweetie if you want to date a… Malfoy… then so be it. But I was more of talking about someone like Neville. That boy was always so nice to you. He respected you too." Arthur spoke up.

"Dad, he's married to Luna with a baby on the way. There's no way I would break up there little family. They are adorable together."

"I said someone like him hun; maybe Seamus Finnigan?"

Ginny only nodded and finished chewing her food before speaking. "I will send him an owl OK? I'll see what he's up to and then go from there."

Arthur looked pleased and finished his food. Molly smiled gently and nodded. "It'll be good for you to get out Gin. You may think it's too soon, but getting your mind off him is what you need. Trust me sweetie." She stood up and cleared the plates.

Ginny waited until her parents said their goodnights before heading upstairs to send the owl. Once they disappeared, she grabbed the owl and pet him. She wrote a letter.

Seamus,

Hey it's Ginny. I wanted to know what you were up to these days. I haven't talked to you in a while. We should meet up soon and catch up. Talk to you soon.

Ginny Weasley

Ginny opened the door and kissed the owl. She sent him on his way to deliver the letter and then sat in her bed. The only thing left for her to do was wait for the reply.
