After the Battle of Hogwarts,
Harry made his way back to the Gryffindor tower with Ron and Hermione, grief, guilt and exhaustion weighing heavily in his body. He just wanted to escape to his four-poster bed and sleep.
They headed up the staircase to the Gryffindor common room and were allowed access by the Fat Lady without having the password.
All the other Weasley's had arrived and were sitting around; either crying silently or blotchy faced and puffy eyed. Mrs Weasely noticed the trio's return and jumped up and pulled all three of them into a bone crushing hug sobbing onto them.
"Come here you three." Mrs Weasely called to them and gathered them into a bone crushing hug.
Harry felt the immense guilt he had been feeling since the start of the war; intensify, as the woman that was his mother figure cried on his shoulder, caused by all the pain he had put her through.
Harry held onto her tightly as he tried to hold on to his pain. He didn't want to cry in front of the Weasley's, even though they were crying all themselves, he didn't want to seem that his suffering was greater then there's when they had just lost family.
"Mrs Weasley," Harry began through his tight throat, "I… I'm so s-sorry" Harry chocked. Determine not to cry in front of everyone, yet he couldn't help the tightening of his throat and the brimming of tears in his green eyes. He willed them to not spill. "It's all my-my f-fault." He finished. Faces of Fred, Lupin, Tonks, Colin and all the others who had died fighting flashed through his mind. His mum, dad and Sirius also flashed through his mind and he lost it. He couldn't help the tears that spilled from his eyes dripping from his chin.
He broke away from the hug he was still in with Mrs Weasley and Ron and Hermione, he turned and headed for the boys dormitories. Away from the family he helped tear apart. He didn't want to see the blame in their eyes from the first people he ever considered family.
As Harry continued up the stairs he realised someone was following. The only person he wanted to see; Ginny. Harry smiled a watery smile and she reached for his hand and continued up the stairs.
As soon as the door was shut, Harry dropped Ginny's hand and headed for his bed and pulled his knees up and wrapped his arms around them. "I'm s-so sorry, Gin" Harry hiccupped and this time he dissolved in tears. Not trying to hide the tears that stained his clothes.
Ginny rushed forwards and pulled Harry into her arms. After all the months without knowing where he was, or even if he was still alive, and then seeing him tonight carried in by Hagrid apparently dead it felt like she was dead inside, completely numb and empty, to have him in her arms safe as he can be at the moment was heaven. She sat there with him in her arms crying just as hard as Harry from the pain she felt inside from losing her brother and friends in the Battle and thinking Harry was dead, smoothing his hair down and resting her cheek on the top of his hair.
They stayed like that for unknown amount of time. Harry let all the pain he felt since the start of the war pour out of him like heavy rain. Not caring that the love of his life bare witness to it. Ginny was also crying heavily into Harry, for the loss of her brother and the pain of the last year.
"No one blames you, Harry," Ginny said as soon as she was able to gain composure. "We all knew what we were getting into."
"Doesn't change the fact it was my fault. Everyone, Gin! Mum, Dad, Sirius, Dumbledore, Mad-Eye, Lupin, Tonks and Fred! All of it was my fault, Gin." Harry dissolved into more tears as he thought of them all but didn't sob this time.
Ginny just rubbed Harry's arm and got up to leave. Harry realising what was happening reached out and took her hand.
"Stay? Please?" Harry asked in a pleading voice.
Ginny looked into his green eyes and could see them swimming in all these emotions she wished never to see in them. She sat on the bed next to Harry without letting go of his hand and resting her head on his shoulder.
"I missed you." He told her simply. "I missed you more then I can ever tell you. I'm sorry about the past year. I'm sorry about everything Gin."
She looked into his face, there were tears glistening down his face just like hers were.
"I missed you as well. I never knew where you were or even if you were alive and I was scared I'd never be able to see you again, and hold you in my arms and know you were safe."
Harry pulled her into a tight hug, not caring that his whole body protested from all the bruises and cuts he sustained. He missed Ginny so much and after 10 months of horcrux hunting he was finally able to pull the girl that meant so much to him into his arms.
Harry breathed in her scent, determine never to forget it. Ginny pulled out of the hug a little to look at Harry's face. He had cuts all over his face, dirt and blood everywhere and tears tracks all down his cheeks.
Ginny leaned in close to Harry, but waited for him to meet her, which he did gladly. They both put a lot of unsaid feelings into the kiss. When they pulled away they had fresh tears in their eyes and breathing heavily.
"I'm going to go to bed Gin. I'm so tired but I know as soon as I close my eyes I'll just see things I never want to see again."
"Why don't you call Kreacher to get you some dreamless sleeping potion? I think maybe asking him to get the whole family some."
"Good idea. Kreacher?"
"Master called?" asked Kreacher and bowed deep "Its good to see Master again."
"Can you get Hermione, all the Weasely's and me some Dreamless sleep potion? Thankyou."
Kreacher bowed and left again only to come back in a few minutes with 10 vials of Dreamless sleep potion.
"Thanks again Kreacher." Harry said and the elf disappeared again.
"Lets take these to your family. Do you think they will let you sleep up with me? I don't want to be alone. Or away from you." Harry asked Ginny.
"I'll ask mum, while you give these to everyone."
They made there way back down to the common room where the family still was sitting. No one noticed there return and Harry immediately made his way over to Hermione and Ron and gave them the vials.
"Dreamless sleeping potion." He answered the puzzled looks they gave him. "I have an elf remember."
Hermione stood up and picked up Ron's hand to make him stand as well.
"It's going to be strange to sleep without you two." She stated. "And not having to keep watch of the tent."
"Why don't you come up and sleep with us? Ginny is asking Molly whether she can sleep in the same dorm as me, I'm sure you can as well." Harry told them.
"Yeah, I think I might just come sleep in there with you guys. I don't want to sleep by myself." Hermione said.
Ron and Hermione both gave Harry a hug and they went up to the dormitory saying good night to everyone as they went.
"Percy, Charlie, Mr Weasley, Mrs Weasley? I have Dreamless sleeping potion for you all" Said Harry and handed over four vials of the potion. He received four hugs as they took the potion and went upstairs.
"Bill? George? If you want to go to bed I have Dreamless sleeping potion for you."
"Thanks Harry. Just leave them there and we will get them when we go up," Bill said as Harry turned to leave.
Harry walked up to his dorm room and prayed that no one was in the shower. He just wanted the hottest shower to rinse himself clean of the battle.
He was in luck and Hermione had left him his PJ's laying on his bed. He took them proceeded to have the nicest shower he had, had since leaving Grimmauld Place.
As he walked back into the room he found Ron and Hermione already asleep and Ginny sitting on his bed.
"Can I sleep here, with you?" She asked.
"Of course you can. Here," Harry picked up the two remaining vials of the potion and he and Ginny drank them before climbing under the covers to snuggle close to each other and sleep with out dreams.
