Chapter 1

Helping Hogwarts

The war was over and everyone who stayed at the castle was starting to help rebuild the school. They had finally collected all the bodies and sent them home to their families so they could arrange the funerals.

Harry was sitting outside the castle by himself. He heard footsteps behind him and turned around to find Ginny. The youngest Weasley child and his best friends little sister.

"Can I sit with you?" she asked him in a small voice.

He patted the place beside him on the stairs and she sat down beside him. "How are you holding up?"

"I'm okay, I guess. I'm really going to miss him." She said a lone tear running down her cheek.

He knew she was talking about Fred. Her brothers twin who died in the battle when a wall collapsed.

She lied her head down on his shoulder. He wrapped his arms around her and held her close and let her cry.

He wasn't a fan of crying women, but he didn't care, because she needed him, and he needed her. They sat unmoving until Ginny wiped her last tear away and looked up at Harry.

"I still love you." She said looking into his eyes. "I never stopped." She whispered as her face turned red.

"I love you to Ginny." He said looking into the brown depths of her eyes.

They leaned their heads together, touching forehead when a voice came from behind them. They pulled their heads apart.

"Ginny, Harry, it's time for dinner." Ron's voice came from behind them. "Get your lovey dovery arses inside."

They heard his retreating footsteps and they looked into each others eyes. At that moment he decided, Ginny was the girl he would be with forever, and she decided the same thing. He leaned in a placed a soft kiss on her cheek before he got up and went inside for dinner.

Ron was giving them odd looks from the new Gryffindor table. He knew they were up to something, but they weren't ready to share it with her family yet. Her brothers would defiantly have something to say about us, after what I had done to her heart last summer.

They walked a foot apart and went to where they rest of the Weasley's were sitting, they were missing one member, but he wouldn't be joining them.

Harry toke a seat in front of Ron, and Ginny sat beside him.

Ron was shooting dagger like glances at them whenever the rest of the family and Hermione were preoccupied. Harry just looked at his plate and ate quietly, looking up only occasionally to look at Ginny or Ron.

It looked to Harry as if they were having a silent conversation only with their eyes. Ron knew something. Was it really that obvious what had occurred less than 10 minutes ago?

"Harry?" Mrs. Weasley's voice broke through his trance. "Well, what do you think?"

"Oh, Sorry Mrs. Weasley, I wasn't listening." He said, blush creeping to his cheeks.

"We're going to go back to the Burrow Friday. Is that okay?" Mrs. Weasley's repeated, annoyance seeping through, but she covered it well.

"Oh, yes, that's fine. That should be a lot of time to help clean up Hogwarts." Harry answered her.

After they finished dinner, everyone went their separate ways. Some people went to help clean up some more. Some went to go cry about lost love ones, and some went to go spend some alone time that have been separated all year… Harry and Ginny were those people.

After the rest of the Weasley's went off on their own, Harry and Ginny went down to the water to talk.

After they were out of view from the castle Harry reached for Ginny's hand and she grabbed it eagerly as they walked the water's edge.

They sat down under the shade of their favorite tree from when they were dating.

They leaned against the tree, Ginny lying on Harry arm, both holding each other close. It had been torture for both of them the past year; they each needed to be close to the other.

Ginny was lying on Harry with her head on his heart, listening to it beating. Neither of them talked for a long time, they just wanted to be together, they didn't need to talk.

"Ginny," Harry said eventually. She looked up at him at toke that meant he should continue. "I…" but her was cut short by her lips on his.

She turned till she was on her knees straddling him, with out breaking the kiss. He grabbed her waist in the intense feeling that he couldn't get close enough to her. He pulled her close and tangled a hand into her hair as she tangled her hands into his.

They both broke away breathless, Ginny lay her head down on Harry's chest and sighed in contentment. Harry kept his arms around Ginny's waist as they lay and the night sky grew darker. They felt each others heart beat slow. She looked up at him with adoration in her eyes. He loved her and she loved him. It was perfect.

"You were saying?" she asked, a smile playing on her lips.

"I love you Ginny, with all my heart." He looked at her eyes filled with love.

Ginny kissed him lightly and pulled back. "I love you, forever." And he knew she meant it.

There moment was broken when they heard footsteps coming nearer. Ginny scurried off Harry's lap as they straightened their clothes and sat in a less compromising position under the tree.

A moment later Ron and Hermione came into view holding hands.

"Harry, Ginny, mom sent me to come and find you. It's getting late. We need to get to the towers." Ron said eyeing them suspiciously.

Ginny and Harry got up simultaneously as the four friends started heading to the castle. Ron was holding Hermione close and Harry ached to do the same with Ginny, but they couldn't do anything in front of Ron. He would obviously figure it out then.

Harry looked down at Ginny and their eyes met for a moment. Ron started to say something then so the both looked at him.

"So, what have you guys been doing all night? We couldn't find you anywhere." Ron said an air of curiosity in his voice. He looked menacingly at Harry, then back to his sister.

"We've just been catching up under that tree." Ginny said lightly, not at all concerned. Harry was wondering why. Did she not understand that Ron would kill Harry if he ever found out? As would the rest of her brothers.

Once they reached the Gryffindor tower Ron and Hermione headed upstairs right away to say good night.

Harry turned to Ginny at the stair case as gave her a small peck on the cheek then turned to head up the stair to the boy's dormitory.

"Hey, I'm not done with you yet." She smiled pulling on his shirt collar to give him a better, longer, more passionate kiss.

She let him go and they headed up the stair to their separate dorms. Ginny blew him a kiss before they turned the corner out of sight.

As Harry walked into the room he always used to have, Ron was sitting on Harry's bed with his arms crossed.

"Harry," He said, not hiding the distaste in his voice, "what were you doing exactly with my sister tonight?"

"We were talking." He said. Worry dripping into his voice.

"Don't play that with me Harry!" he said starting to shout. "I saw you! What exactly are you playing at? Snogging my sister! Are you going to leave her again in 3 weeks? Huh, Harry? I swear Harry. If you break her heart again I will break you." His face turned red with anger.

"No Ron! It's not like that! You know why I stopped it with her! You know I had no other choice! I never stopped loving her! I never will." He said adding the last part in a whisper.

Ron was about to pull his wand when Neville, Seamus and Dean came running in.

"What is all the yelling about?" Questioned Neville.

"Nothing." Was all Ron said getting of Harry's bed and climbing onto his own, lying on the covers, watching the ceiling.

Harry walked over to his bed and fell onto it with a loud thump.

Seamus shrugged. Dean and Neville walked to their own bunks and settled in. Harry turned the light off with his wand and rolled over to fall asleep.

I hope you like the first chapter. I like having the Weasley brothers disapproving their relationship; I think it makes the stories more fun to read. I really like how I've started this story out and I hope you do too. Review!!
