Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter

I had to re-upload chapters 1-4, there seemed to be a bit of a problem...sorry people and thanks for your patience.

oOo

Chapter 2

Hannah Abbot was startled to her feet when she heard a loud knock on her door. She hoped it was Neville but knew it wouldn't be; he still had another week of studying to do in China. With a sigh Hannah opened the door. Ginny was standing on her doorstep with tears falling down her face.

"I didn't know where else to go." She whispered

"Come in." Hannah said, taking her duffle bag from her hands

Of all the people Ginny could go to, Hannah thought, why did she come to me? Surely Hermione or one of her other female family members would be better suited to deal with her, not that Hannah couldn't, it just surprised her that she'd come to see her.

"I know you probably think I should have gone to someone else, but everyone in my family talks and well, this isn't something I want to get out."

"That's ok; I'll make you some tea." Said Hannah

A few minutes later she came back with two mugs of tea and sat down next to Ginny on the sofa.

"So, you want to tell me what happened?"

Ginny took a sip of tea, wiped her face and then spoke "Harry and I had a massive fight. I think our marriage may be over."

"I'm so sorry." Said Hannah quietly as tears started streaming from Ginny's eyes.

Hannah passed her a box of tissues. She took one and blew her nose. "Thanks."

"What did you fight about?"

"My lack of devotion to him."

"I don't understand."

"He says I spend too much time with the team and I'm never home and we never talk. It's like he doesn't even know who I am anymore, like he's no longer living with his wife."

"Oh, Ginny." Hannah pulled her into a sympathetic hug

Saying it out loud was worse than thinking it.

"Is he right?" asked Hannah

"Yeah, he is." Sniffed Ginny, taking another sip of tea, "We don't talk, we hardly ever see each other, we haven't been intimate in four months, we don't even hug or kiss."

"And this is all because you're busy with Quidditch?"

"Yeah. It's my fault, I know it is. I'm never around anymore. I've let my career take over my life and destroy my marriage and I don't know how to fix it."

"How important is fixing your marriage?"

"More important than anything in the world!"

"Do you still love him?"

"Yes, of course!"

"Then I think you know what you have to do."

Ginny hung her head, Hannah was right and if she was honest with herself she had known for a long time what was going on and how to fix it.

Hannah let Ginny cry in her shoulder until there were no more tears left.

"Can I please stay the night? I don't think I can bear to see the pain in his eyes again, not tonight anyway."

"Yes, of course. I'll go get you a towel. You can shower and take the spare room."

"Thank you, Hannah." Ginny said as she put her empty mug down

"That's ok. I'm sorry, but I have to work tomorrow at 6:30am so I'm going to go to bed. Switch the lights off when you're done."

"Okay." Replied Ginny with a sad smile on her face

Half an hour later Ginny climbed into the double bed in the spare room. She knew what she had to do tomorrow, just doing it was going to be very difficult. It was breaking her heart just thinking about it but it was the only way she was going to be able to fix her marriage.
