Harry sat in the common room letting the fact that Voldemort was dead, and he was alive, sink into every fiber of his being. Now he could finally have a real life. Not one that focused on what he had to do for the wizarding world. He was free to live and love Ginny. That is if she would forgive him.
Ginny. The thought that had gotten him through so many nights while he, Ron, and Hermione were on the run. Harry heard the common room door open. He turned his head every so slightly to see who it was.. It was the love of his life.
Harry slowly got to his feet and walked toward her. He expected her famous wrath to engulf him, but Ginny did nothing as he came closer and closer to her.
"Harry I have something I want to say, and I don't want you to interrupt. You were gone for almost an entire year, and I never stopped thinking about you. Were you safe, alive, even concerned about me? Then I realized that you only broke it off with me to protect me. I didn't need you to, but I understand why. And then tonight when Hagrid walked up with you in his arms, I felt as if my world was over. The pain……it was just unbearable. Harry it put life into perspective for me. You may not always be here to be my source of hope and comfort, but I want to enjoy the time we have. I just want you to know that if you can look past the break up so can I. I love you with all my heart, and I what to know if you still love me?" Ginny said, not allowing Harry to interrupt at all.
" Ginny I do love you with all my heart. Not one day went by while I was gone that you weren't on my mind. You kept me going when I thought I would surely die. The world can thank you for the defeat of that bastard. Without you I wouldn't have got through half of it. Gin, I'm completely yours. I wouldn't have it any other way. I can't tell you just yet what happened in the Forbidden Forest, but I promise in time I will. You'll just have to trust me. I'm not ready to relive it again."
"Harry take all the time you need. I'll always be here. I love you Harry James Potter!"
"And I love you Ginerva Molly Weasley!" Harry said leaning down to place a kiss on his loves lips. To his utter joy she returned his kiss eagerly, without hesitation. He was about to slip his tongue out to grace her bottom lip, but he was interrupted by an irritated Ronald Weasley.
"Oi!!! What do the two of you think you are doing? Harry get your hands off my baby sister!" Ron yelled taking a threatening step toward Harry.
"Ron. I suggest you step back. I have been seperated from Harry for almost a year. I love him with everything I am, and if you so much as touch him I will send a stnner at you so strong you won't wake up for a month. Do you understand me? Furthermore, I may very well be you 'baby sister', but it is my life and I will do with it what I see fit!" Ginny said with as much venom as she could muster. She just got Harry back. She'd be damned if some overprotective brother was taking him away.
"Of course......."Ron said a little too high pitched"whatever you say. Just keep it to a minimum. Mum isn't going to be happy when and if she walks in on the two of you snogging."Ron turned and headed for the girls' dorms.
"Ron where are you of to? The guy dorms are the other way. Have you seriously been gone that long?" Harry asked it shock.
Ron turned arond sheepishly. The famous Weasley blush creepings its way onto his features. "No, I haven't forgot. Um.... 'Mione asked me to stay with her tonight. Don't even start either of you, I'll get enough of that from the twins. I'm going to bed now. Goodnight" Ron turned, and hurridly ran up the dormitory stairs.
Harry looked over at Ginny and smirked. He wordlessly motioned her toward the guy dorms,and she willing followed. There was no way in hell she was leaving him tonight.
