Chapter 1

Harry gazed around, finally Harry, Ron and Hermione had returned to the Burrow. After many long months of searching for Horcruxes they had finally destroyed each and every one. Ron and Hermione stood hand in hand; they had finally got together in the last month. Now Harry had one thing, or person, on his mind; Ginny.


Slowly Harry, Ron and Hermione entered the house. They planned on surprising everyone by sitting at the table and when they came down for breakfast they would just be sitting there! After a few minutes of quietly talking they heard a shriek. Harry quickly stood up and pulled out his wand to find Ginny throwing herself onto him.

"Harry!" she cried out. Before Harry knew what he was doing he was kissing Ginny fiercely.

"Hey, mate, not cool!" Ron exclaimed as he came over and gave Ginny a hug.

"Sorry!" Harry turned red.

"Ginny!" Hermione shrieked

"Hermione!" They both squealed and ran to hug each other.

"Ginny, what's the noise about?" Mrs Weasley shouted down, she rounded the corner in her nightgown and then stopped and stared.

"Hey mum" Ron grinned sheepishly "How are you?"

"Ron!" she shrieked and hugged and kissed him over and over. She then moved onto Hermione and then Harry. Her shriek had woken the rest of the family.

Charlie and Bill came round the corner rubbing sleep dust out of their eyes, shortly followed by Fleur who was staying with them. Then Fred and George came who were both in good spirits even in the early morning and finally Mr Weasley. Each of them greeted Hermione, Ron and Harry loudly. After the greetings they sat around the kitchen table whilst Mrs Weasley cooked breakfast.

"You-Know-Who has officially taken over the ministry, it's not good." Bill informed Harry.

"And they are keeping a close eye on us at work, but don't bother at home as we have some protective enchantments to stop any prying noses from the ministry." Mr Weasley informed them.

"It'll all be over soon, I'll make sure of it!" said harry.


"What are you going to do Harry?" Ginny asked taking his hand gently under the table.

"Well…firstly there is one thing I have to do alone, and I mean alone!" Harry added looking at Ron and Hermione. They both gave small nods. "Then I will find him and destroy him." All the Weasleys looked at each other and exchanged nervous glances. "So, I will be leaving soon and then you will here where I am, and I will be ok I promise" Harry said looking Ginny in the eyes. However Ginny was still not sure if Harry would be.

"Harry" Ginny said later that day when both of them were alone "What are you doing? Why do you need to do it alone?" Harry turned from the sink were he had been brushing his teeth and kissed her.

"Ginerva Molly Weasley, I will be fine and I will tell you everything when this is all over, promise!" he kissed her again. This time Ginny did not let him break the kiss and they kissed passionately.

"I love you Harry"

"I love you too Ginny"

Suddenly, there was a smash at the door. Someone was hammering on the door violently.

"Open up, we know that you're hiding something and your enchantments have been broken, open this door now!" a death eater roared. Ginny went white, Harry stood stock still. Quickly diving for his bag Harry pulled out his invisibility cloak.

"Give this to Hermione, she'll need it but the rest of you should be safe!" Harry quickly kissed her and then grabbed his rucksack and slung it on to his left shoulder.

"Harry…"

"Just do it Ginny! Please!" There was more hammering from downstairs and Mrs Weasley called,

"Coming! Coming!" in her loudest voice. Ginny kissed Harry and ran out the room. She tore upstairs to Ron's room to find Ron and Hermione franticly trying to find a hiding place.

"Here Hermione, stay here with this on!" Ginny pressed the invisibility cloak into her hands.

"But Harry…" She muttered.

"Is gone, please Hermione!" Hermione nodded and pulled it on, Ginny and Ron quickly ran downstairs just as Mrs Weasley opened the door. Standing in the door way was a group of masked death eaters. They pushed roughly past her.

"Search the house, and get the whole family down here, NOW!" shouted the leader of them.

Ginny sat by her mother tightly holding her hand.

"Now, we want to know where Harry Potter is and also that mudblood Granger!" The death eater said pulling his mask off. Marcus Flint stood before them and sneered at Ron's red face. "We've searched the house and can't find anything, but that doesn't satisfy me! So, tell me everything!"

"We don't know anything!" Charlie said calmly.

"Really?"

"Yes, really, you would have found it if you searched our home!" Bill added glaring at Flint.

"I don't trust you though" he went and stood behind Fleur gently taking a strand of her hair and twirling it round his finger "and if you don't cooperate things could get nasty!" he quickly pulled back on Fleur's hair and pressed his wand against her pale throat. Bill quickly stood up.

"Sit down!" sneered Flint "and tell me everything you know about Harry Potter!"

"Fine, Harry and I were best friends, but at the beginning of this year he ran off and hasn't talked to me since!" Ron exclaimed.

"Why weren't you at Hogwarts then?"

"Because I had spattergroit and only just recovered! Luckily just in time for Christmas!"

"It's true, Flint I was one of the ones who came and checked that their story was true." A death eater told him.

"What about Granger? We need a word with her!" Flint leaned on the desk and looked into Ginny's eyes. "Do you know where she is? I remember you two being rather close!" Ginny leaned back from his bad breath.

"No, she disappeared at the beginning of this year as well with her parents and I haven't heard from her since!" Ginny spat at him.

"Ugh! DON'T SPIT AT ME YOU FILTHY TRAITOR!" He yelled catching Ginny by her throat.

"Piss off!" Mrs Weasley gasped; Flint growled and slapped her across the face.

"Don't ever offend me!" he snarled. "Anyway, what about you, Weasel? I heard you were close with her as well!"

"I haven't heard anything!" Ron stated, Flint frowned.

"What about the rest of you?" they all shook their heads Flint snarled "fine. Let's go!" He led the death eaters out of their house and left them to tidy up after they had torn the house apart.

Mrs Weasley immediately rushed to Ginny.

"Are you alright Ginny? Did he hurt you?"

"Mum, I'm fine!"

"Don't ever use that language again! And don't ever be so stupid again!" she yelled after making sure she was fine. Ron came back down with Hermione; she was shaking badly and had to grasp Ron's hand for support. "Hermione, darling are you ok?"

"Y-yes, just a bit shaken" She told Mrs Weasley as she ushered her into a seat. Ron sat by her holding her hand tightly.

"Mum, we need to get away! Me and Hermione, else she'll be in danger!" Ron exclaimed. Mrs Weasley shakily nodded her head. "We'll try and find Harry!" They both went upstairs to get ready to leave. Bill sat holding Fleur's hand and rubbing her stomach lightly.

"Mum, Dad, various other family members! We have some news, Fleur is pregnant!" Bill exclaimed. Mrs Weasley shrieked and embraced both her son and Fleur. Everyone went and congratulated them.

"Congratulations Bill!" Ginny hugged him tightly.

"Thanks Gin…you alright?" Ginny shrugged. "I'm sorry he had to go Ginny, really I am." Bill took her hand and squeezed it gently.

"I'm fine Bill, really I am!" she replied smiling. Bill nodded and went to talk to Fleur, he knew Ginny wasn't alright but when Ginny didn't want to talk about something she wouldn't.

The whole family surrounded Fleur and Ginny used this opportunity to escape. She slipped upstairs and into her room. Sighing, she gazed out of the window and wondered what Harry was doing, why he had to do it alone and if he missed her. The door clicked open and Hermione came and stood by Ginny.

"He'll be back soon, and so will me and Ron. We're leaving now Ginny, will you be alright?" Ginny nodded,

"Of course I will! You and Ron look after yourselves! Don't get in trouble!" Ginny hugged her best friend knowing she may never see her again.

"You too Ginny, tell Luna, Neville and the others that I hope they're good and send them all my love!" Hermione broke their hug and with a final squeeze of her hand left. Now Ginny felt completely alone…alone…
