Chapter 2

Harry found Ginny sitting by a tree by the Black Lake, wiping a tear from her face. She was playing with her wand, and little shoots like fireworks were coming from the tip. Harry approached her carefully, not wanting to make her more upset, whatever she was upset about.

"Ginny are you okay?" Asked Harry, and she could sense the wonder in his voice.

"Do I look okay Harry?" She said in an angry and hurt voice. "When I saw Hagrid bring out your body, your lifeless self hanging there, I was devastated! How do you think I felt when I, just like everyone else, thought you were dead? That the person I love was killed and I would never be able to see him again. I was hurt!" she yelled more tears coming down her face.

"Ginny I am so sorry, I-" but Ginny had cut in.

"First, I see Fred dead, then, Tonks and Lupin, and I pray that you'll be okay! And when I saw you dead, I felt empty inside, and nothing could make it better!"

"Ginny, I am truly and deeply sorry. All those deaths were because of me. If I hadn't of-" But he was disrupted again as Ginny held up her wand to him.

"Don't you dare say those deaths were because of you! Everyone knew what they were doing and they died fighting for what was right!"

"But-"

"If you say one more time that those deaths were your fault, I swear I will pull a Bat-Bogey Hex on you!" She yelled. She was not so much weepy now, but full with anger at Harry for leaving her, and thinking he was dead.

"Ginny, will you listen to me for one moment, then, you can throw whatever spell you like on me" Harry said with desperation.

"Fine" Ginny said, but not happily.

"When I was on the run with Ron and Hermione all I could think of you, to make sure you were safe." Harry saw that this cheered Ginny up a bit so he continued. "That's why I broke up with you, so that Voldemort couldn't hurt you to know where I was."

"That wouldn't have made a difference since my family's full of blood traitors." Ginny piped in.

Harry ignored that and went on, "I would look on the Marauders Map just to find you and make sure you were okay. When I found out you, Luna, Neville and the other kids were being tortured by the Carrows, I was furious. And when you went to live at your Auntie Muriel's house I knew you would be okay." Harry said in a serious tone.

Ginny just stared at Harry and waited for him to say more.

"Ginny I love you and I would never do anything to hurt you. Before Voldemort was going to kill me, I thought of you, your blazing look, and the feel of your lips on mine."

And that's exactly what Harry felt after he finished his sentence. Her lips on his. And as she pulled away she whispered "I love you too, Harry"

They stared at each other with a loving look for a moment until Ginny asked "But what have you been doing while on the run Harry?"

Now that the quest was all over he guessed that he can now tell everyone what they had been doing. So he answered her question as he told her about his, Ron's, and Hermione's adventure to seek Horcruxes, and about the Hallows, Ginny gasping when Harry told her about the when Ron left, about the Snatchers, when they went to Malfoy Manor, and them flying off with the dragon.

"Sounds like you've been through hell" whispered Ginny shocked at the story she just heard.

"Yeah, well close enough I'd say" said Harry half smiling. "I guess we should go up to the Great Hall now, so I can tell everyone what Ron, Hermione and I have been doing these past months. Oh, and you won't believe what happened between Ron and Hermione." He said as they walked up to the castle.

He told her the story of when they were in the room of requirement right after she had left and all he heard her say was "Finally" and "Wish I could of seen it" They laughed up to the castle until Harry stopped them in front of the Entrance Hall. He had a question to ask Ginny.

"What does this mean for us? Are we back together?" He asked Ginny. Inside he was pleading for her to say yes.

"Only if you want to" Ginny told him.

He held her hand in his, and with that kissed her passionately, like they had on Harry's seventeenth birthday, indicating that they were now back together.
