I don't own HP.
Please Review. First story
'July 31st…Harry's birthday. Should I owl him?' Ginny Weasley thought. No, that would be silly. 'He dumped me… I'm sure he didn't want to, but he's overwhelmed with You-Know-Who going after everyone he cares about. Oh, forget this. I'm going to owl him.'
Ginny had been lying on her bed and was now getting up to get some parchment, ink and a quill. After 10 minutes of hearing the quill against the paper, she looked at it. It read:
Dear Harry,
Happy Birthday! I'm
pretty sure I shouldn't be writing to you like this ever since…
Forget it. I hope those Muggles are treating you alright. Harry, why
did it have to be this way? It's… It's not fair. Just because
You-Know-Who is after everyone, you didn't need to do that. Harry…
I love you.
Ginny
Then, Ginny took Pig out of his cage and tied the message to his leg. "Take it to Harry, Pig," she said. Pig flew away and Ginny lay down again. Just then, Ron yelled, "Ginny, where's Pig? It's Harry's birthday, I need to owl him!" 'Damnit, maybe I should have waited… What do I tell Ron? Oh, crap.'
"I just sent a message with him! Sorry, Ron!"
"Oh, bloody hell, Gin. Harry's going to think I forgot his birthday."
"No, he won't. Just tell him I used Pig so you couldn't send it soon enough." 'He'll understand since I used Pig to send a message to him.'
"Fine."
'Thank God. Ron overreacts too much.'
4 hours later
Ginny had fallen asleep and the sun was high in the sky. It was about 1 in the afternoon. Suddenly, Pig flew in the window and saw Ginny sleeping. He began to gently nip at her ears. She woke up and saw Pig. She untied that there was a reply and she opened it up. It read:
Dear Ginny,
Thanks. You can write.
We aren't enemies just because I dumped you. It's for your own
safety and you know it. I care about you, Ginny. If something
happened to you… I don't know what I'd do. Tell you what, I'll
show you that I still care. You and I will spend time in Diagon
Alley. Only you and me, I promise. Meet me there at 5.
Harry
'Great, he wants to see me?' She thought. 'I don't want to let him let go. I know he doesn't want to let go, but he can be so stubborn sometimes…Kind of like Ron, no wonder they're best friends. That's it! Tonight, I'll put us back together! I'm smart, I can be more than "Harry's girlfriend who is his best friend's sister." I'll show him that there is a smarter part of me.'
With that, Ginny went downstairs to give Pig to Ron. She then when to her room and began to look for something to wear. She found a light blue shirt and a hooded dark red cloak. Later at 5, Ginny Flooed to Diagon Alley. Harry was waiting for her in the Three Broomsticks. They decided to walk around when they found a quaint little restaurant. Harry asked for a table and was given the best one even though the bus boy they had kept saying things like, "Certainly, O Chosen One," making Ginny giggle.
After that, they walked to the Leaky Cauldron to see if there was any butter beer. Of course, there was some. Afterwards, Harry decided to Apparate Ginny to Paris. They were right by the water and Harry Made sure Ginny saw it. Harry was holding her against him. She leaned back and he held her. On the dock, Ginny decided to start conversation now, before the date ended. "Harry, why do we have to be apart?"
"Oh, Ginny, no. We've been through this. I don't want you to get hurt. I care about you a lot. If something happened to you, I would never forgive myself. Ginny…I love you more than anything."
"I love you too, Harry…" Ginny said getting lost in his bright green eyes. Harry looked back at her and she had her hood up. He touched the edges of the hood and put it down slowly. Then, he saw the innocent Ginny he remembered when she was a first year. At the same time, she had beauty that had matured since then. She stared at him with watery eyes. "Harry, please. I love you; don't make it end because of fear. If anything, we should be together until the end. Harry, for all we know, I might be dead in a year. In that year, wouldn't you want to be with me?"
"You know I would, Ginny. But I think that if you were dead next year, it would be because of me."
"Harry, it won't be. Harry, please…Don't you get it? I'm not letting you let go. I'm yours until death. Do you understand? I love you and nothing will ever change that."
"I love you, Ginny. But it can't be that way. Understand? We can't stay together like this all the time. We can't, Ginny." Then, Harry Apparated Ginny to the Burrow and then left. Slowly, it began to rain as Ginny then sat in the mud fetal position and put her hood back up. She cried into her arms. After an hour, she was soaked and her red hair was sticking to her head. She walked into the kitchen and saw that no one was there. She took one of the kitchen knives and pressed it to her forearm. When she felt a sting, she stopped. It had scared her. She looked around and hid the knife in her cloak. Later on, she would hide it under her mattress.
Ginny then went to her room and went to bed. It was about 11 and Ginny was tired. She looked at her arm she pressed the knife. She saw a small cut on the spot. 'I'm an idiot. Why the hell did I do that?' With that thought, Ginny fell asleep.
With Harry
Harry sighed, 'I love her…But I can't put her at risk. If I started dating her, the Death Eaters might kidnap her. She was so beautiful tonight. I'm going to miss her so much. I have work to do though. I will have to just forget about Ginny. I love her, but I need to find all the Horcruxes. She'll forget about me in time. Well, she'll stop loving me in time. I hope.' After that, Harry fell asleep.
The Next Day
Ginny woke up at about 10 AM. She looked at her arm and realized that the cut wasn't a dream. Damnit, where's my wand? She thought. She found on her nightstand. "Episkey." she whispered. 'If I ever do that again and don't want to heal it, I better put it higher up. Under my shoulder perhaps.' Ginny got up and went downstairs. Mrs. Weasley was already making breakfast. Just then, Mr. Weasley Apparated in. "Harry's been attacked!" 'What? No, not Harry.' "Last night, some Death Eaters broke into his house and his him once or twice with the Cruciatus Curse. Ginny wake Ron and owl Hermione. We're going to visit him at St. Mungo's. Ginny followed the instructions and then they went to St. Mungo's with Hermione.
