The Hogsmead Visit

Harry had everything he needed in life, a job, friends, and love. The war has been over for a year now, and he could finally be with Ginny in peace. He was also glad to have finally graduate Hogwarts, a little.

One beautiful, snowy day, Harry flew into Hogsmead on his Firebolt in hopes to get a butterbeer and look around. He hid his Firebolt in an alley, once he landed, and he quietly sat at a nice table in the Three Broomsticks and ordered a butterbeer. Within minutes, a bunch of Hogwarts students flooded into the pub. They ordered their butterbeers and sat talking loudly with friends. A couple he knew from when he went to Hogwarts, but a few of them he didn't recognize. He had Luna Lovegood even stop by and say hi to him, before leaving the bar to go to the Hogsmead gardens, which was frozen from all the snow and ice. The weather has been pretty harsh for a couple days, but it was nice today, the snow was lightly falling and the wind was quietly whistling through the trees.

Harry looked around for a special someone, but he couldn't find her anywhere. He turned to look out the window and saw her. Her hair was bright orange and her eyes where darting everywhere trying to find someone.

Harry downed his butterbeer and walked out of the bar trying his best to not make any noise. She was facing the other direction, so luckily she hadn't seen Harry yet. Harry walked behind her and put his hands in his pockets and leaned forward so he could whisper in her ears. "Hello, Miss, are you looking for, I don't know, someone in particular?" Harry asked. Ginny giggled and turned around to face him. "Hello, sir. Actually I was looking for someone in particular, and I think I just found him." she said sweetly putting one hand carefully on his chest, while the other remained in her pocket. Harry felt his arms rise from his pockets and let them slither around her waist and brought her closer to him. "Oh, really," he said bring his head closer to hers, "and who might that be?"

Ginny gave a small laugh and gently kissed. When they broke apart, Ginny rested her head on his chest, "I've missed you. I wish I could just graduate already and be with you." she whispered. "I've missed you too, but you'll be graduating in less than 6 months." Harry stated hopefully. "Yeah, just 6 more months, then I go home, then you convince the parents that it's alright if I move in. It'll be more like a year for the convincing." Ginny said. Harry laughed and said, "Well we can still meet here, in Hogsmead."

"That's different."

"Well, that's really the only time I can see you, until you graduate."

"I guess so."

"Come on lets go for a walk." Harry said holding out his hand for Ginny to take. She took his hand and let her fingers intertwine with his. Before they could leave though, Harry stopped, "hold on a moment, Accio Firebolt!" The Firebolt zoomed through the air and Harry quickly caught it with his free hand. The two continued to walk down towards the Shrieking Shack. What a perfect day, thought both Harry and Ginny.
