Chapter one
HPOV
Sleep had finally taken over. After so much time on the run, Harry was not feeling the most confident in his ability to let sleep take over, fear had too many holds on him. Coming out from Dumbledore's old office, well McGonagall's' he supposed now, he had gone straight up to his dorm and although he felt a deep need to see and hold Ginny, he wasn't sure he could tell her everything right away and he knew o too well that she would expect and deserve an explanation about everything that had happened. After eating his well deserved sandwich he sank into bed not bothering to change, too tired to care but only after having sealed off the quiet dorm to the rest of the world. He would be left alone for the night at least.
Omniscient POV
17 hours had gone by and no one had seen Harry since he had left the office, now the Weasleys' were all getting worried especially the girl who hadn't been alone with the only man she would ever love since his birthday. Although Ron and Hermione had tried to get in to the boys 7th year dorm, the door stayed stubbornly closed to all their attempts and no one else knew what to do. At the moment all the Weasley clan and both Luna and Neville were sitting in the common room, using this time when the rest of the world was sleeping to catch up and let go of some of their past resentment. Percy spend a great amout of time recounting the details of the ministry crowd, he had decided he had had enough of Politics and wanted to do something which would matter more, help his family. Bill and Fleur spoke about their time in hiding as did the two elder Weasleys. George and Charlie stayed silent most of the evening, preferring to or needing to distance themselves for a while. As the yawns were starting to be everlasting Mrs. Weasley sent all her troops up to bed. The Gryffindor tower was empty apart from them so all set up to find a place to sleep. Mr and Mrs Weasley went to the head boy dorm, Bill and Fleur took the head girl dorm (Bill knew the secret to the stairs he was admittedly a player in school), Charlie, Percy and George took up the 3rd year dorm, Neville went to the 5th year dorm as did Luna on the girls side, finally Ron and Hermione discreetly went to the 6te year dorm. Ginny was for a few minutes the only one left in the common room. Although she was exhausted, she knew sleep would not find her if she didn't see Harry before she tried. Nightmares had plagued her nights for many years now but she always felt safer if she saw Harry before bed, but tonight was different, she felt she had to be with Harry, it wasn't just a desire to see he was alive, it was a gut feeling, nearly a physical pull to the guy of her life. As though she would find solace by just being closer to him. Now that she was sure that everyone and especially her mother was in Morpheus' arms, she sneaked up to the dorm where she knew Harry was resting peacefully, at least she hoped he was. As she climbed up the numerous stairs she felt the pull intensify. When she reached the door and failed to open it, she called by instinct and even before she had realized it "Kreacher".
Ginny POV
When the loud Pop erupted in the silent stairway, none was more surprised then I. Bowing as far as he could Kreacher said "Yes Mistress Ginevra, what may Kreacher do to be assisting Mistress Ginevra?" Shocked at first I just stared at him, then coming back to my wits, I asked if he could transport me please inside the dorm so I could check on Harry and even before I realized what had happened, I found myself in front of Harry' sleeping form. "Thank you Kreacher, now I would like you to go eat something and sleep as long as you need to. You can also have tomorrow to yourself to do whatever you want. Be assured that if we need you we will call you but otherwise enjoy your first day off."I said as kindely as possible to him. I knew that although I had no real claim on him Kreacher would obey me because he only said "Yes Mistress, Thank you Mistress" and left with a pop in the eerie silence of Harry's sanctuary. He looked nearly peaceful in his sleep but with all the grim and were on him the peacefulness seemed out of place. I could see as I got closer to him all the scraps and cuts he had. His stubble was getting closer by the minute to a beard and his glasses were still perched on his nose. As I got closer I could feel a weight lifting from my shoulders. Harry was alive, we had both gotten out of this mess in one piece and we could live without the constant fear these past years had been. He would be able to do what he wanted and although I know what he wants is to be an auror, I just hope we can both have time to just enjoy each others company. I quietly and carefully take off his glasses. I know that I should leave but I just can't. After not seeing him for nearly 9 months I have to stay with him. Then a quiet mumble rings out in the dorm, "Ginny" and the only thing I can do is reach out for him. As my hand touches him, I feel warmth invade me as though I had just come home finally. I lay down next to him and I feel his arms unconsciously close around me, pulling me closer. As the warmth spreads through me, his heart beat becomes my whole world and as I drift off I know and for the first time in a long time I am safe and I will never be alone again.
