Harry whipped his his head around trying to see in the dark room.

"The boy must die."

A hoarse voice whispered through the darkness. Instinctively, Harry reached for his wand and raised it

"Lumos!" The wand glowed bright at the spells utterance, but the thick darkness blocked even his magical light. "Reveal your self! Who's out there!" Harry shouted in a panic.

"The boy must die..."the voice whispered in his ear, harry dropped to the ground with a burning sensation from his scar.

"THE BOY MUST DIE!" A dark shadowy figure raced at harry and knocked him to the ground.

"KILL THE BOY!"

"THE BOY MUST DIE!"

"KILL THE BOY!"

"Stupefy!" Harry shot a spell off into the dark. "Stupefy! Stupefy! Stupefy!" Three more shots, each one missing what ever thing was making the sound.

"THE BOY MUS-"

"Harry!? Wake up harry!" The 17 year old boy jolted awake to find his girlfriend, ginny weasley leaning over him in bed, gently shaking him. "Harry are you alright?"

"Yeah I'm fine Ginny... it was just another nightmare" Harry sat up and wiped the sweat from his brow, facing his girlfriend.

"It wasn't about you-know- er... voldemort again, was it?" The young witch sat beside harry, facing him and taking his hands in hers. "Its all over, ya know, we won... are you ok?" The young red-head looked softly into her boyfriends eyes.

"I'm fine, Ginny, honestly. It was just a bad dream." Harry sighed as he finished his sentance. He had been having these horride nightmares of intangible voices and impenetrable darkness, someone trying to kill him, ever since the war ended.

"Good" Ginny softly kissed harry on the lips "Now get dressed, it's a very important day and mum says she has breakfast ready." With that, Ginny, who was already in her black robes, turned and went down stairs, leaving Harry to himself to dress and get ready. Harry put his glasses on and stood, Walking over to the window and looking out at the orchard just outside the Weasleys place of residence. Slowly walking over, Harry examined himself in the mirror and reflexively rubbed his scar. It had been nearly 2 months since his scar had pained him, although the nightmares had become a thing of nightly occourance, which he was almost sure were causing Ginny to worry. Harry turned to the wardrobe on the other side of the room and opened it, stepping into a room that was magically expanded to allow for both his and Ginny's clothes to be stored. Harry looked through his various clothes that he had and settled on a nice pair of dress robes that looked more like a suit than anything else. Satisfied with what he had chosen, Harry made his way down stairs to breakfast.

"Look, all I'm saying is that... Oh! Good morning dear" Molly Weasley smiled as she worked her way around the crowded table and kissed Harry on the cheek and smiled. "Don't be shy, help yourself to some breakfast" Molly gestured to the table.

"Thanks Mrs. Weasley" Harry smiled and took a seat between Ginny, who took his hand, and Ron, his best friend of 8 years.

"Sleep any better last night Harry?" Ron inquired as he started eating and Molly continued her conversation with the rest of the table.

"Yea I slept fine, thanks" Harry lied and filled his plate with a gracious helping of eggs and bacon.

"'reckon that's 'ood" Ron tried to say as he stuffed his face.

"Honestly Ron, do you ever stop eating?" Herminioe interjected, and continued speaking without waiting for a response."It's obvious he's lying anyway, just look at the bags under his eyes." She turned her attention from Ron to Harry "How did you really sleep last night Harry?"

"Look, I said I slept fine, I can manage myself!" Harry said bitterly as he took a bite of his food, looking down at it.

"He's been having nightmares about the Death Eaters again" Ginny replied to hermionie.

"Harry why didn't you tell us" Ron asked looking at his best friend. Harry realized that the table had hushed and all of the poeple there were focusing on him.

"Look, you have all been through so much... and its all been my fault." Harry sttod and looked around "I'm through with causing anyone anymore trouble!" Having said that, Harry left the burrow through the kitchen door out into the yard with Ginny standing and following after him. Harry kicked an empty soda can out of frustration as he crossed the small dirt road in front of the burrow. Ginny grabbed his hand and stopped him, pulling him into a warm embrace.

"Sweetie... you arent causing anyone any trouble. We are your friends and we all want to help you-"

"But you all have so much to handle right now"

"And you are just as important as that. We want you to get better."

"Promise?"

"I promise" Ginny smiled and kissed harry on the lips softly

"Ginny, didn't you used ot have to stand on your toes to kiss me?" Harry looked into his girlfriends eyes.

"Huh... I guess, I'm sure it's nothing." She smiled as the rest of the weasleys, including Hermionie and Fleur walked out of the Burrow and joined them.

"everything iz going to be arlight 'Arry" Fleur said as they approached.

"Yea Harry, we've got your back!" Ron looked at Harry and smiled

"Thanks guys, I guess I let my emotions get the better of me" harry sheepishly.

"Not to worry dear, it happens to the best of us" Molly said in return. "Have you prepared your speech?"

"I have, but I don't think I'm going to use it. I tend to do better when I speak on the fly, I will bring the note cards up with me just in case though" Harry smiled and took Ginny's hand in his own. "Are we heading out then?"

"Of course" Molly replied "Everyone ready?" Everyone agreed and the large group dissappeared in a snap as they aparated to Hogwarts to start the official Memorial Ceremony for the fallen witches and wizards of the battle of hogwarts.
