It was the night after the Battle of Hogwarts and Ginny couldn't sleep with the knowledge that Harry was in the Hospital Wing all alone. She could practically feel him calling out to her, begging her to come. Not being able to hold it any longer, she got up and wrapped herself tightly in her night-gown and tiptoed out to the Gryffindor Common Room.
She stopped.
'Someone's out of bed' she thought to herself. She turned around and saw her former best friend: Hermione Granger.
"Hermione?! What are you doing here?"She whisper-shouted over to her.
"I could ask you the same question!"Hermione shot back at her.
"Well, I wanted to check on Harry. I don't feel right without Harry. He's all alone in the Hospital Wing! I'm sure he'd like some company!" She admitted.
"Ooohh.. I see someone still got a crush on Harry!"Hermione teased "You do realise that Harry might be asleep!"
"Well, I don't care! And mind your own business!"Ginny replied, blushing furiously.
Without another word, she marched out of the Fat Lady's painting hole.
"Where are you off to, Miss Redhead?"The Fat Lady said irritably.
"None of your business!"Ginny shot back.
"Fine then!"the Fat Lady replied "You just annoyed me! I was having a dream about me and..."
"I don't want to hear it!"Ginny snapped. She was getting really impatient.
The hallways and staircases were half-broken and dust was everywhere she looked. The Battle had clearly brought some damage to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. She couldn't help it but she sobbed at the loss of Dumbledore and Mad-Eye Moody. Still, she was lucky to have Fred and George in peices.
She was still sobbing when she heard a ruffling behind her. 'Oh please! Don't tell me it's Hermione!'
When she turned around, she was surprised to see that she was face-to-face with none other than Albus Dumbledore. He was in human form and not a Memory or Ghost. A small gasp escaped her lips.
"H-how are y-y-you still al-alive?"She demanded, terrified.
Dumbledore merely smiled at her. "I will have only truly left Hogwarts when there are none loyal to me!" he replied, repeating exactly what he had said to Harry, back when she had first started Hogwarts.
"Will you be... I mean, you are alive, aren't you? I'm not dreaming, am I?"She was lost for words, but glad, nevertheless, that it was her who brought back Dumbledore.
"Of course you are not dreaming!"He exclaimed, slightly offened "However, you will find that someone is waiting for you up in the Hospital Wing"he added, winking.
Ginny blushed slightly then said "Yes Professor Dumbledore!" and then turned away and headed straight to the Hospital Wing.
When she arrived minutes later, Harry smiled at her slightly. There were cuts evrywhere on his face and arms. A bandage, seeping with blood was covering Harry's left arm and there was a purple bruise on his right cheek. Out of curiosity Harry proceeded to ask her why she had come, his eyes never leaving her chocolate-brown ones.
"I just wanted to make sure you were OK and give you some company!"she said, not entirely truthfully. But her seemed happy with her response anyway.
"Well then, you were right! I was feeling lonely!"he chuckled, causing her to blush slightly from embarassment.
" Errrrmmmm... I have to tell you a few things"she told him.
"Like what?"Harry asked her curiously.
"Well, on my way here, I was thinking about Professor Dumbledore and Moody, and then when I turned around, I saw him there! He wasn't even a Ghost or Memory!" Ginny then proceeded to tell him about how she felt him calling out to her softly and felt the need that he wanted her here. However, Harry didn't deny the fact that this was true, because it was! He wanted to express his love to her, but he didn't know how. He wanted to tell her he loved her, but he didn't know how to.
After Ginny told him everything, he found himself pulling her into a deep kiss. Its was so surprising for Ginny that it took her a while to understand what was going on. They were so entertained and in a world of their own that they didn't realise the soft golden glow form around them both. When they surfaced from the kiss, minutes later, they were silent and busy staring into each other, smiling and blushing.
'Harry!' he heard in his mind in Ginny's voice, but when he realised Ginny's mouth hadn't opened at all, he got worried. 'Harry!' Ginny's soft voice called out again. He knew he wasn't hearing things because he heard it a second time too!
