Chapter one Waking up

When Harry awoke 1 morning sometime after the war against Voldemort, his body was paining all around. He had no idea how many hours or days he had slept. Everyone else was still asleep. The clock on Harry's stand read 5:00am. Harry got up and got ready for his day. After he went down to the common room. When he reached, he looked around. He thought it was empty until he saw Ginny sitting on the sofa in front of the fire. He made an effort to walk over limping. He finally reached and sat down next to her. Harry noticed that she was holding a picture of them."I remember that. It was fun"" He said. Ginny looked up into his emerald eyes. "What are you doing up so early? Madam Ponfrey said she expected you to sleep for a month after giving you that medication."He laughed.

"How long have i been sleeping?"

"2 Weeks" she answered

" Why are you up so early then?"

"Sleep has not been working for me ever since you went to sleep." she paused "How are you feeling?"

"Not too good my whole body aches."

Ginny scooted over "Lay down. It'll help" She said

Harry laid down and his head rested on her lap. Ginny ran her fingers through his hair. Harry hoped he didnt mess things up between them already. "Ginny, I'm really sorry but, I had to do it. If he knew i was still alive he would've killed all of the people i care about." He stared into her Almond eyes "I didnt want anything to happen to you. You mean everything to me." Ginny turned pink around her cheeks. "I love you" He said."I love you too" She said. Harry sat up, "so your not mad?" He asked

"of course not, you risked your life for the entire world. Why should I be mad about that?" She said

"Does that mean you would like to go out for a walk around the grounds with me?" He asked hopefully

"I would love to but your still not fully recovered."

"I'll survive"

If madam ponfrey ever heard about this-"

"She won't hear about it 'cause it's still dark outside everyone's still asleep." In the end Ginny agreed. She helped him up and, hand in hand, they left the common room. While walking harry surveyed the damage It was really awful but with some help it will go away "Over the days you were sleeping, a lot of the students helped out with the repairs." Assured Ginny. They pushed open the big oak doors and walked for two minutes until coming across their favorite spot on hogwarts grounds. A big shady willow tree with a bench under it by the lake. "so tell me what you've been up to over these last six months" asked ginny interestingly. Harry told her all about it. Hunting the horcruxes, learning about Voldermort's past, all of it. When Harry finished she was smiling "Just think about what Ron would say 'I told you two no snogging each other in public'" Harry was confused "But were aren't doing any-" he was cut off by Ginny's lips touching his. After what seemed like weeks they broke apart. "We'd better get heading back before they send out a search party for us." Holding hands they headed back toward the school. When they reached they saw Mr. and , Ron, Hermione, George, and Percy waiting for them. It was Ron who spoke first. "We went to check on you both and we saw that you weren't there so we thought you went out for a nice walk" He paused "But judging by the lipstick on Harry's face, thats not all that happened this morning" Everyone laughed at this then Ron turned strict "I said no snogging in public you two." Ginny turned to Harry and said "See what'd I tell you." Harry bravely said "there may have been some snogging here and there." He paused "okay mostly snogging" everyone laughed even more. Ron stuttered "You- She- Snogging-" he was interrupted by Harry "Oh shut. it Ron don't be a prat at least I waited until after the battle to kiss my girlfriend." Everyone laughed their heads off even Hermione. "Well Potter, Congratulations. I would like for you three to tell everyone what you were doing the past year. You will do as I say after everyone eats. You all should head to the hall now to eat. I'd think fast if i were you." Said Professor McGonagall. With that she hurried off to gather everyone to eat. It was George who broke the silence "Well we'd better head toward the hall if Merlin knows what's good for us." As the others walked quickly to the hall Harry, Ron, and Hermione walked slower than the others trying to get as much time as they could to plan what they were going to say. Hermione whispered "I think Harry should tell them about the Horcruxes and Dumbledore's death. We could just tell them about Tom Riddle's Past." The two boys only nodded. After everyone ate and the plates were cleared Professor McGonagall stood up, the noise in the hall instantly faded away "I have some very special people who have some very important things to tell us today. I hope it will stop some of the uncertainness that have been going around lately. Potter, Weasley, Granger please join me" All eyes turned to them as they walked toward Professor McGonagall.
