Chapter One; The Party

Hey guys! Welcome to my first Harry Potter fic! I hope you enjoy it and don't forget to review, I love feedback that helps me to become a better writer! This is a rewrite to one of my very first stories that I wrote before I signed up for this website, so I really hope that you like it!

Harry walked into the great hall and suddenly found himself inside Hermione's arms as she threw them around him and hugged him tightly. "Oh my God," she began. "don't ever do that again. You scared me so much." She told him.

"I'm sorry Hermione. I didn't mean to." He told her before she suddenly broke out of the embrace and looked at him.

"It's alright, I'm just happy to see you. I'm glad that you're alright." She said with a sniff before she brushed away her tears.

"I understand." He began. "Where's Ginny?" he questioned her.

"She's up on Gryffindor tower. She seemed really upset. I don't think she knows yet." She said.

"It's alright, I'll go talk to her." He said before he turned to walk away.

.…..

Ginny stood up on top of the tower and looked over a crossed the lake with a sniff. She hardly ever got emotional, but now the wizard whom she had loved with all her heart was gone forever, and she never even got to tell him. She rubbed her nose with the back of her hand unaware of Harry's presence standing behind her until he walked up to her and stood beside her.

Ginny gasped as she turned over to look at him. "Harry?" she questioned with disbelief. "You're alive? But that's impossible, I_" she began.

"It's a long story." He began. "Let's just say that we won't have to worry about Voldemort anymore." He told her. "I'm sorry if I scared you." He said.

"Don't worry about it." She began before she turned her head away from him.

"I've got to, I don't have any choice." He told her as he took ahold of her hand. "I care about you more than anyone else in the world. That's the only reason why I broke up with you, but Voldemort's dead now. So we can get back together, if you want." He said as she turned over to face him.

"Of course I do, I never thought you'd ask!" she exclaimed. "I love you Harry Potter and I'm sorry that I didn't tell you that a long time ago." She said.

"It's alright, I knew." He told her with a grin before they both closed their eyes and drew their faces in towards each other before exchanging quick and tender kisses on the lips. That's when all of a sudden someone cleared their throat behind them.

Harry broke the kiss and then they both turned to see Ron standing behind them. "So I see that you two are back together then." He said.

"Yeah? So? What were you expecting?" Ginny questioned him. "Listen Ron, Harry and I love each other and it isn't right for you to come up here and try to break us apart." She told him firmly as she took hold of Harry's hand.

"Who said I was?" he asked her.

"Because I know how you are." Ginny told him with a glare.

"Yeah but that was the old me. I trust Harry more than I trust any of your other old boyfriends." He said.

"Well then if you weren't coming up here to try and get between us then what did you come up here for?" she asked him.

"I was just coming to let you know that Mum was looking for you. She wanted to make sure that you were alright." He began. "She also wanted to invite Harry to a party at the burrow." He explained.

"Party? What party? How can we have a party when our brother is dead!?" she yelled.

"Listen Ginny, I miss Fred just as much as you do but that doesn't mean that you need to get mad at the world. I mean I can bet you anything that he's going to come back as a ghost and torment us for all of eternity." He said as Ginny stifled a laugh.

"Yeah, I guess you're right." She said.

"Sounds like Fred for sure." Harry told her.

"Well c'mon Harry, I guess we better get back downstairs." She said.

….

Later that evening the burrow was very lively with all of their friends and family present. Harry, Ron, Hermione, and Ginny hung out by the refreshment table drinking a bit of pumpkin juice. "So now that the war is over are we going back to Hogwarts?" Ron asked.

"Well I wouldn't dream of staying apart from Ginny." Harry said as he gazed at her lovingly and flashed her a warm smile.

"I would." Ron said before Hermione slapped him upside the head and Harry laughed.

"Ouch! Hey!" Ron exclaimed as he covered his head with his hands. "I love you too Hermione!" he cried sarcastically.

"I'm sorry Ronald but that serves you right. Anyway, to answer your question I really think that we should go back." She told him as he shot her an evil glare and rubbed his head.

"You would!" he snapped.

"Alright you two, that's enough." Mrs. Weasley said as she walked over to the table. "Besides, you don't want to miss the karaoke contest would you?" she questioned.

"Oh yeah that sounds like great fun." Ron said with a groan as he rolled his eyes.

"What? You don't like to sing?" Hermione questioned.

"And what you do? I've never even heard you sing a note." Ron pointed out.

"That's because I don't like to sing in public." She told him.

"Oh c'mon Hermione, I've heard you sing before and you've got a great voice." Ginny reassured her.

"Thanks Ginny, but I still can't seem to get over my stage fright." Hermione said.

"It's alright," Ginny began as she placed a comforting hand upon her shoulder. "Everyone gets stage fright from time to time, even Aaron Parker." She told her.

"Who's Aaron Parker?" Harry asked her as Ginny felt her jaw nearly hit the floor.

"You're joking right?" she questioned.

"No, sorry." Harry told her with a shake of his head.

"He's only the greatest singer in the whole world!" she exclaimed as Ron rolled his eyes.

"Take it easy," he began. "not everybody in the wizarding world is obsessed with him." He finished before he turned to look over at Harry. "Aaron Parker is the lead singer of The Dragons." He explained.

"And let me guess, Ginny likes them?" Harry questioned.

"Well yeah, in fact I'm surprised that she hasn't built a shrine of them by now since she pretty much worships them." Ron told him as Harry tried to hold in his laughter.

"I do not!" Ginny protested with a stamp of her foot.

"Oh really? How would you like it if they sung at Hogwarts for the senior dance?" Ron asked her.

"How would you like it if I gave you a bloody nose?" she questioned him back as she took a step towards him. "It's none of your business what kind of music I like, and you don't have any right to tease me about it." She said.

"Harry do you mind if you keep your girlfriend under control?" Ron questioned him.

"C'mon Ginny, why don't we go and get some dessert." He suggested as he led her away over to the dessert table where a scrumptious chocolate fudge cake was busily slicing itself.

"I don't understand why Ron is always so mean to me. I don't get why he hates me so much." Ginny said.

"He doesn't hate you, he's your brother and he didn't mean anything by it. He was just teasing you." Harry explained.

"It still doesn't give him any right to." Ginny told him.

"I know." He began. "Don't worry I'll talk to him about it later. Right now I just want you to calm down and have some cake." He told her as they each picked a plate off of the table that had a slice already on it and started to dig in with their forks.
