"And quite honestly, I've had enough trouble for a lifetime."
Harry, Ron, and Hermione walked out of Dumbledore's office, and started to head to Gryffindor tower. Ron and Hermione were leaning on each other, and Harry hid a smile as he watched them.
As they got closer to the Great Hall, they could hear more and more people talking, reuniting, laughing, and crying. Harry was about to turn to follow his best friends up to the dormitories, but then something stopped him. He caught sight of a redheaded girl slowly coming towards him. "Ginny," he whispered, walking to her.
Once he reached her, he wrapped his arms around her. Ginny did the same to him, immediately and wordlessly forgiving him for the terror he had put her through toward the end of the battle. They stayed like that for several moments, and then Harry leaned down and kissed her. In many ways, the kiss said all they needed to say to each other.
It was a kiss of forgiveness, with Ginny forgiving Harry for leaving her. It was a kiss of apology and promise, with Harry feeling sorry for scaring her, and promising to never leave her again. It was even a kiss of sorrow, with both Harry and Ginny feeling the weight of those who had left them for good. But most of all, it was a kiss of happiness and joy, for both were more grateful than they could say that they had both survived, and were now free to live their lives together.
When they broke apart, Harry smiled at her, and asked, "Mind taking a walk with me?"
Ginny smiled back and followed him onto the grounds. Once outside, they walked around until they found a tree that had not been damaged by the battle, and sat down under it. Ginny leaned on Harry, and they sat there silently, just thinking and enjoying one another's presence.
From
underneath the trees, we watch the sky
Confusing
stars for satellites
I never
dreamed that you'd be mine
But
here we are, we're here tonight
Singing
Amen, I, I'm alive
Singing
Amen, I, I'm alive
Harry thought about the battle, about Remus, Tonks, Colin, and Fred. It was his fault they'd died, his fault everyone had been fighting. But, he reminded himself, they knew what they were fighting for. They knew there was a risk. And Harry knew they wouldn't want him blaming himself, so he tried not to. If only there were no Death Eaters, no Voldemort, than nobody would have died, and...his thoughts went back to Ginny, Ginny wouldn't have lost her brother.
If
everyone cared and nobody cried
If
everyone loved and nobody lied
If
everyone shared and swallowed their pride
Then
we'd see the day when nobody died
And I'm
singing
Amen I,
Amen I, I'm alive
Amen I,
Amen I, Amen I, I'm alive
And in
the air the fireflies
Our
only light in paradise
We'll
show the world they were wrong
And
teach them all to sing along
Singing
Amen, I, I'm alive
Singing
Amen, I, I'm alive
(I'm
alive)
Ginny was also thinking about the battle, and of those they had lost. She was as sad as Harry was, especially about Fred. It was almost too much to bear that she would never talk to Fred again, never hear him laugh again, never again watch him and George tease Ron. She would miss him, that was for sure. However, she was also incredibly glad about all those who had survived, and grateful for the chance to try to make the world a better place. After all, Voldemort was gone, and many were still around to rebuild their society. She, along with Harry, and their family and friends, could go forth into a happier world.
If
everyone cared and nobody cried
If
everyone loved and nobody lied
If
everyone shared and swallowed their pride
Then
we'd see the day when nobody died
If
everyone cared and nobody cried
If
everyone loved and nobody lied
If
everyone shared and swallowed their pride
Then
we'd see the day when nobody died
And as
we lie beneath the stars
We
realize how small we are
If they
could love like you and me
Imagine
what the world could be
If
everyone cared and nobody cried
If
everyone loved and nobody lied
If
everyone shared and swallowed their pride
Then
we'd see the day when nobody died
When
nobody died...
Harry and Ginny were back together again, and neither could be happier about that. Both were so thankful for the chance to live the rest of their lives together, and for the fact that they were now free to do anything they wanted, without having to live in fear. They were full of so much love, for each other, and for their family and friends, and they would use that to show everyone that it was time for a change for the better. Some how, they both knew that they would change their world- together.
If
everyone cared and nobody cried
If
everyone loved and nobody lied
If
everyone shared and swallowed their pride
Then
we'd see the day when nobody died
We'd
see the day, we'd see the day
When
nobody died
We'd
see the day, we'd see the day
When
nobody died
We'd
see the day when nobody died
There's the first songfic, hope you liked it! The next one will be RonxHermione, and I'll post it as soon as I have a song for them. I have a couple ideas, but I need a really good one for them, as they're my favorite pairing. Ideas are welcome!
