Chapter two

Ginny stepped out of the house and found Harry sitting where he usually is, just in the garden watching the gnomes. Ginny didn't understand what fascinated Harry about the little creatures even if they were funny sometimes.

'Harry, can I talk to you?'

Harry turned, 'Sure, I take it you're parents explained about this pull all men will feel?'

'Yes and I'm not happy about it,' Ginny sat down next to Harry, 'You know I hoped we'd get back together. But I've needed time and so did you, but I'm also mad at you Harry.'

'I know you are Ginny, that's why I haven't spoken to you yet. I figured you'd need to work out your feelings. Are you angry because I ignored you in the room of requirement?'

'Yes, that hurt, knowing you wouldn't support me. I was angry about you pretending to be dead, making me think that, but Hermione explained why you did it and I do understand, but not the room.'

'Ginny, I was so scared thinking of you going up against those death eaters. I know you can look after yourself, you've proven that many times. But it didn't stop me wanting to keep you right away from it. Look what happened, when I saw that spell almost hit you, my heart actually stopped. So I do know how you felt when you thought I was dead. But about this pull and having to leave, I can't see myself going from straight to gay, I care about you a lot and see a future with us.'

Ginny put her head on Harry's shoulder, 'I hope you're right Harry, I don't want to lose you, not again,' Ginny could feel herself choking up, which was strange as she wasn't one of those girls that cry, then the tears fell from her eyes, 'You made me cry Harry,' Ginny sniffed, then buried her face in her hands.

Harry sighed, then pulled Ginny into his arms, 'I'm sorry, I never knew any of this. If I did, I might not have started anything until after so you wouldn't have to worry. Please don't cry Ginny.'

Ginny kept sniffing and taking deep breaths before she looked up at Harry, 'Can I have a kiss Harry, I missed you.'

Harry smiled, then started to kiss Ginny and a serious kiss he was giving her as well and Ginny responded just like she used to.

Arthur and Molly were watching Harry and Ginny, they both knew this was hard on young people and they could see the love Ginny had for Harry and just hoped nothing changed.

'I better tell Harry this last bit, Ron's still getting over the embarrassment,' Arthur sighed, then stepped outside and stood staring down at the orchard, but gave a small cough to let Harry and Ginny know he was there.

Harry and Ginny pulled apart, 'Sorry Mr. Weasley,' Harry said going red.

'No need Harry, but I still need to talk to you about that, so Ginny, I'll send Harry up after I've finished.'

'Okay dad,' Ginny turned back to Harry, gave him a small kiss, then walked inside. Arthur gestured for Harry to follow him down to his shed.

'Okay,' Arthur leant against his bench, 'when you leave, whenever that is, you will feel who you are attracted to. Now there could be a woman there or a man that you feel a pull towards, that will tell you if you've changed or not. Now during this time, whether you want to or not Harry, you will have sex, it just happens, to all of us.'

'What, even if I stay straight, because Ginny and I spoke about that, we both wanted to wait and if we got serious, then we'd talk about it again and probably wait until we got married.'

'Yes, I felt the same, but you can't stop it Harry, no matter what you do. It's like this pull you feel is showing you exactly what you're sexuality is by making you do it. Now most of us men wouldn't tell our girlfriends we had sex with another woman, so that will be up to you if you end up straight and come back to Ginny. I never told Molly for years, but I did eventually tell her. I kept feeling guilty about it, but her parents had explain to her about this, but they actually told her that the men always have sex, so she wasn't upset or surprised. Ginny has a bit of a temper Harry, so her mother is explaining that to her right now, so she might be a little anxious or even angry when you see her. But think of this, if she found out after you got back together, you would probably find yourself with bat bogeys all over you.'

Harry sighed, but nodded, 'Definitely, Ginny just can't help herself when she's angry. Do you think George will be first Mr. Weasley, as he should have felt this by now?'

'Normally yes, but George is still feeling the pain of losing his twin, so he might not for a while. Molly and I thought since we were explaining to you and Ron, we should explain to George. No, I think it will be you first Harry even though Ron is older than you, not by much. Think of this, Ron had a fairly normal childhood, family around him, nothing out of the ordinary going on, until the last seven years so his stress isn't as strong as your because he had the normal childhood. Where you, well you had those muggle relatives of yours, then you find out about being a wizard, everything started after that, so you're whole life was stressful. Now you're life if finally calm and relaxed, so I think this pull will start very soon for you.'

'Yeah, I get that. Well if I'm going to be leaving for a while, I suppose I should get to Gringotts and make sure I have enough money with me,' Harry stared around at Mr. Weasley's shed, 'Mr. Weasley, I know you're family never had a lot, so I could help with Ron if you let me. Ron hates it when I try to buy him things, but if he needs to go away for a long time, he's going to need a lot of money.'

'Yes,' Arthur sighed, 'Molly and I have been trying to put some money away for him, that's usually what parents would do. George we don't need to worry about as he made a lot from his store. I was considering asking him for a loan, but if you wouldn't mind Harry, I could get the loan from you and pay you back after everything has settled down.'

'You don't need to pay me back Mr. Weasley, you let me live here, fed me, you and Mrs. Weasley have looked after me for years. So it's sort of helping me pay my way. You know I've always been a little independent, so doing this will make me feel better with everything you've done for me.'

'I'll discuss that with Molly, then let you know. But I think we should keep that information away from Ron, if you don't mind that is.'

Harry chuckled, 'No, I don't mind because he wouldn't want me to pay for anything. So I might work out to go to Gringotts tomorrow, I'm not looking forward to the attention, that's why I haven't gone anywhere yet.'

'Yes, we know and you will get a lot of attention. People might know that hundreds of people fought at Hogwarts, helped along the way, but it did come down to you in the end, so you will be the one everyone wants to see and thank, which I do understand. Voldemort has caused the suffering of so many people for so long and you did finish him off.'

'Yeah, even though I know I couldn't have done it without everyone's help, I do get that Mr. Weasley. I might get Ron and Hermione to come with me, I just won't tell Ron why I'm getting out so much, but could Ginny come with me. If I have to go away, I want to spend as much time with her as I can.'

'Yes, of course she can go if she wants to, just be cautious why you're out. Anyway, I should let you get back to your girlfriend, Molly should be finished talking to her by now, so expect a frosty reception when you speak to my daughter.'

'A frosty reception, I'm expecting to be hexed,' Harry sighed as he shook his head, but followed Mr. Weasley back into the house. Molly gave Harry a concerned look, so Harry knew it wasn't good. He walked slowly up the stairs and saw Ginny's door open. So he stood there staring at Ginny why she paced around her room.

'Um, Ginny,' Harry said cautiously.

'Oh this is great Harry, it just keeps getting better and better,' Ginny pulled Harry into her room, slamming the door behind her, 'So you have to leave me again, then go have sex with some other woman, I'm pissed off right now,' Ginny yelled.

'Ginny,' Harry sighed, 'you're father explain I can't do anything about it. Do you think I want to have sex with someone else? We spoke about this remember, we both said we wanted to be with each other the first time. So please don't blame me for this when I can't do anything to stop it.'

'I don't blame you Harry, I'm just pissed off. It feels like you're going away to cheat on me,' Ginny sighed as she sat on her bed.

Harry sat beside Ginny, 'I know it would Gin, but I wouldn't if I didn't have to, I will tell you this though, I am going to fight it if I can. You know how stubborn I can be.'

Ginny smiled as she looked up at Harry, 'Yes, I know you can be stubborn, not to mention rash, foolish and too noble, but mum said you can't, it will make it worse. You just have to let it happen even if I wish you could fight it.'

'I don't want to do any of this Ginny,' Harry sighed then fell back on the bed and was staring up at the ceiling, 'I thought decisions about my life were finally back under my control. For so many years everything was out of my hands, never my choice, it's still the same.'

Ginny moved until she was lying half on top of Harry, 'It seems that way, doesn't it, first the prophecy, always knowing Voldemort was going to keep going after you and you couldn't do anything to stop it, then these horcruxes. You had to leave me to find those, I couldn't go with you because I wasn't of age, now I am, but you have to leave me again,' Ginny put her head down on Harry's chest, 'Life sucks Harry.'

'Yeah, I does,' Harry wrapped his arms around Ginny, 'Why now, I thought I could finally have a normal life now he's dead.'

'It's like mum and dad said, it's just something all you blokes have to do and us girls just have to live with it, but you will have a normal life, you just have to do this one last thing.'

'Gin, what if I change, I want a life with you, we said that if this war was ever over, and everything worked out we might be together. I don't want to do this Ginny,' Harry pulled Ginny to him tight and just held her, 'I want to stay here with you, get our relationship back to what it was. Do normal things all couples do, even go back to Hogwarts and finish off. What happens with that as well, I want to finish so I can be an auror, what if I'm away and I can't go back?'

'I suppose you'll have to talk to McGonagall about that Harry. You don't think you'll change though, do you?'

'No, I don't see myself with anyone but you, especially a bloke. I know Fred kissed me that time, but it was just for fun, to do it seriously just doesn't feel right. Look how many times Ron used to catch us snogging, I could never get enough of your lips,' Harry lifted his head and looked at Ginny, 'That was the hardest thing when I was away, missing you and your kisses.'

'Then why you're still here, let's snog all the time and not worry who's watching. I want to spend as much time with you as I can, lips and all,' Ginny giggled, then started to kiss Harry very seriously and Harry kissed Ginny back exactly the same way, but they were both thinking the same thing. Why they could, they would kiss and be with each other for as long as they can.
