The next few days he spent a good amount of his time eating, sleeping, and reading about dementors. He really wanted to practice using the patronus charm which seemed like the only way to repel a dementor. He understood the concept and knew what to say but he couldn't practice it until he returned to school. He realized with being a werewolf he was constantly tired and was sleeping outrageous hours. He woke to the sound of an owl pecking at the window he let it in and took the letter it was from Ginny. He gave the bird something to eat and some water and let it share the cage with Hedwig as he unrolled the parchment and began to read.

'Dear Harry,

I got your last letter and yes we will be staying at the Leaky Cauldron for the last few days of holiday. Why did you want to know and what's been bothering you so much lately you've seemed worried in your last few letters. You better tell me what's wrong I'm worried about you, and yes Egypt was amazing and I loved seeing Bill I hope you can meet him and Charlie soon. The rest of my family wants to talk to you as well so this is the end of my portion of the letter.

Yours truly, Ginny

Harry,

Hey, it's Ron, Egypt is amazing I wish we could be brought you! Did you hear about Sirius Black escaping? I'm sure you did and the werewolf attack in little? something I can't remember. I'll see you soon and by the way thanks for cheering up Ginny this summer she's done a lot better since you started talking to her.

Arthur

When the letter finished he was glad that all the Wesley's he knew wrote to him and would be coming soon. He couldn't wait to see them the next day and he realized that he'd see Hermione as well. She was only staying for the day to get her school stuff before going home with her parents but he was still glad he'd get to see everyone. The rest of the day went quickly and before he knew it he was getting up the next morning awaiting the arrival and the Wesley's and the Grangers at Gringotts. He was standing on the side of the door in front of the Wizarding bank when he saw several heads of bright orange and red hair a minute later he recognized a head of bushy brown hair. When they were well together he waited with Arthur and the twins while Ginny, Ron, Mrs. Weasley, and the Grangers got money from their vaults or exhaled muggle money for Wizarding money.

While waiting, Mr. Weasley pulled Harry aside and said, "Harry I wanted to talk to you about a few things. One I'd like to thank you for talking to Ginny this summer the first week of summer she was miserable and suffering because she felt like everyone hated her for what happened last year. I also wanted to thank you properly for saving my little girl down in that chamber. I have no clue how I could ever repay you for what you did for me and my family. So that brings me to the last thing I wanted to talk to you about before I let you speak again. I'm sure you've heard, we have a mass murderer on the loose and there are people in the ministry that don't want me to tell you this. He is after you Harry he was once a death eater and was believed to be He-who-must-not-be-named second in command. Since you finished his master off we believe he will be after you and I stress that you do not go looking for him. Promise me this Harry."

Harry looked stunned for a moment before starting at the beginning and saying," Well Mr. Weasley to start off I've loved talking to your daughter this summer and I'm glad she improved because it's lot nicer than how she used to react when she saw me. There's no reason to thank me though I was only doing the right thing by saving her. As the thing with Sirius Black I've been told the situation by Remus Lupin I'm not sure if you know him but I ran away this summer and met him before coming here. He and Dumbledore explained everything to me but thank you for warning me and I promise I won't go looking for him."

Mr. Weasley nodded and they went back to he group and waited until everyone was ready. When they were all together again Harry walked around catching up with Hermione and Ron and made sure to get Ginny involved with the conversations as well. By doing this Ginny simply beamed and Ron was slightly annoyed, with his Ginny was determined to earn her way into the group. After a few hours of shopping they decided to take a break and go to the Leaky Cauldron to eat. When everyone was finished Harry was still debating whether or not he should tell his friends about his condition. He decided that for now he wouldn't and would just need to find an excuse to why he disappears once a month.

When everyone was done shopping he said goodbye to Hermione knowing he'd see her at Kings Cross in two days. Then the Wesley's had to split up rooms for everyone. The twins sharing one room, Mr. and Mrs. Weasley sharing another, Ron and Percy together, and Ginny got one for herself. Ginny's room was directly across from Harrys and everyone else had rooms on the next floor up. At 10:00 pm everyone started to head to bed after several games of exploding snap, chess, talks about quiddich, and school work. Harry said goodnight to everyone and headed to his room he forgot that Ginny was staying across from him. When he took off his shirt his door was still open and Ginny was standing in the doorway. With his back turned to her she saw all the scars his back was scattered with, the most noticeable being the three large claw marks running from his shoulder down to his side and the bite marks on the other shoulder. He didn't notice her until she spoke up.

"H-harry, where are those marks from," she said scared of the answer she might get.

Harry turned around and stood frozen, rigid he didn't know what to say how could he possibly lie to her after she saw them. After about a minute he finally began to speak,"Um, well you see, ugh, how do I explain this."

Ginny just looked at him took a few steps forwards and placed one hand on his cheek and the other on his side before speaking up softly but firm," Harry please tell me where you go those scars. I just want to help you."

Looking down at the beautiful girl in front of him with creamy white skin sprinkled with freckles around her nose and cheeks, bright red flowing hair, and her big chocolate brown eyes which have specks of copper towards the center. He sighed and led her to sit on the bed then he began his explanation," Well a few weeks ago a little over a month now there was a werewolf attack your brother mentioned it in your last letter. He couldn't think of the name of the place but if he did he would've came up with he name Little Whinging, or where I live. I don't remember much but I remember running away then after a while I took a break and sat down on a curb. I saw two large animals one a large black dog another I found out to be a werewolf..." going on he explained that he was diseased with lycanthropy and said how he met another werewolf he could transform with when at school.

Ginny wrapped her arms around him and let out a small sob and after a minute or so lifted her head up from his shoulder and reassured him," I don't care if you're a werewolf I'm not going to leave you, you've became such a big part of my life this past summer. I won't leave you."

Harry didn't know what to say he never expected that he'd get such a good reaction. It made him feel amazing he couldn't get the words out to explain how much that meant to him. So he showed her instead he brought her into his arms and held her close hoping she would understand all the feelings he was attempting to put into that hug. Then right before he let her go he tilted his head downwards and kissed the top of her head hoping she wouldn't notice (she did). They moved apart and together they stood up.

Before she left he spoke up once more,"Gin are you still having nightmares? Well if you ever have one don't be afraid to come knock on the door and come in if you want to I won't mind. That includes at school you know you can talk to me about anything so just sneak in the boys dorm and wake me up so we can go down to the common room. Alright?"

She looked at him with a smile that took up her whole face clearly pleased with that preposition then said," I do get nightmares still so I'll make sure to visit if I have one and will you do the same if you have a nightmare?" He nodded. "Thank you for everything." She said, then she quickly kissed him on the cheek and crossed the hall to her room.

Harry didn't know it but Ginny was ecstatic about his offer and that he held her in his arms. She was finally starting to know the real Harry Potter not the one she had a celebrity crush on. The one she got to know was even more amazing he was real he had his own feelings, he got nervous and had doubts, but he was also everything a Gryffindor is supposed to be and more. Now that she met him and he was even opening up to her saying he's a werewolf she couldn't help but think that she had a chance with him.

Through the night neither of them crossed the hall to the other rooms, yet they both tossed and turned in the night and woke up from dreams of the chamber. The next morning Ginny was the first one awake at around 7:15 she tried going back to sleep but she just couldn't. After a hour she went to see who was up, she doubted that harry would be up considering his condition so she first went to her parents room to hear them talking through the door and the checked on her brothers the twins first then Ron and Percy. The twins were making noise of course and she could hear them through the door then she checked on Ron and Percy she knocked then opened the door Percy was polishing his head boy badge and Ron was fast asleep. She chuckled to herself then headed back to her room. Before she entered her room she looked at Harrys door and considered waking him up since most of them were up they'd head down for breakfast soon. She figured she could let him sleep a few more minutes and would wake him before she went downstairs to eat.

Harry woke to Ginny nudging him on the shoulder. She looked beautiful in the morning and still smelled roses her scent was...enticing. Her creamy white skin looked extravagant against the pale pink night dress she had on. He didn't know why he didn't accept her offer last night when he woke from another nightmare of his, he was comfortable around her she made him feel normal. He was so lost in how amazing she looked he didn't realize she was speaking. He looked at her and said, "Uhh, what were you saying?"

She looked slightly annoyed then spoke softly, "I was asking you to wait for me because I want to go shower and I thought you might want to too. That way we could walk down together and I might get another chance to see you without a shirt on." She looked away after she said this her face red as her hair, Harry just laughed at this.

"Well I'd be honored to wait for you to get out of the shower. I'll meet you back here when you're done and we'll walk down then, "Harry couldn't help himself but imagine how her skin looked as soapy water runs down it. All she did was nod before turning around and walking away. He knew his feelings weren't right. He was only thirteen and she was twelve but he couldn't help himself he was a horny teenager and she was breathtaking even she was still young.

He decided he should take a quick shower before he ate so he got his bathroom things and headed to the bathroom that connected to his room. He was showered and dressed within ten minutes after he waited for a half hour he decided he should go check on her. He crossed the hall and knocked on her door she didn't answer so he knocked again this time speaking up, "Gin, are you alright?" He couldn't hear the shower running and again she didn't answer so he walked in. She was sitting on her bed in a bathrobe her red hair was soaked and an even darker shade of red.

"Harry!? What are you doing in here?," she said once she saw him by the door.

"Well I knocked on the door and you didn't answer so I knocked again and asked if you were alright when you didn't answer again I thought I better come in and make sure you were alright," Harry said not being able to keep his eyes off her.

Ginny looked surprised as he finished and blushed at his gaze, she looked at him with puppy dog eyes and smiled before answering, "Oh, I'm alright sorry it takes me so long to get ready. I just need to dry my hair and throw on my clothes then I'll be right over."

"Alright I'll be on my bed waiting," Harry said as he left the room. She looked amazing in every way and he had no idea what his feelings meant but he didn't care he wanted her. What would Ron and her brothers say? She was young they both were maybe they could keep it a secret. He knew it didn't matter unless she felt the same way. He was aware that she used to have some sort of hero crush on him because Ron told him his first day at the Burrow. So unless sometime while they've been writing to each other she started to feel the way he felt he'd just have to let it go and hope it would pass.

Harry sat on his bed for a minute then he decided to change his shirt. He really didn't feel like wearing an old t-shirt and worn down pair of jeans. He decided to wear one of his new pairs of dark blue jeans. As he went to grab a shirt he heard Ginny call him, so he grabbed a white casual button up shirt he turned around and she was in the doorway staring with her mouth open slightly. He didn't really have a big build but from quiddich and running away from Dudley and his gang he stayed skinny making the little muscle he did have look more defined. He pulled on his shirt and started buttoning it but got distracted looking and Ginny. She was wearing a white dress with pale pink flowers and she was simply radiant. He couldn't help but smile at her when she came in and walked up to him and button up the rest of his shirt.

He grabbed a pair of sunglasses he had on the night stand placed them on his shirt sprayed a bit of cologne on himself and they went downstairs. Neither one of them could stop smiling as they approached the other Wesley's. They gaped at the two friends both of them looked like they'd look spectacular alone but together they couldn't help but stare they were all so awestruck. They took their places at the table and began eating harry looking over at her in awe every now and then when she wasn't looking and she did the same when he wasn't looking.

From breakfast they all decided to go out on their own, Ron fancied a but more sleep, Harry and Ginny went out to the alley together, Fred and George went to their room to do who knows what and Percy went off on his own while Mr. and Mrs. Weasley spent their time of peace in their room.

Harry decided his money bag was running low so he went to Gringotts and got several more galleons than he actually needed. He was hoping to spend this time with Ginny and buy her a few things as 'late birthday gifts'. When they left Gringotts they walked around and stopped in shop after shop. He eventually decided that he would treat Ginny to her gifts. He had her fitted for new robes, bought her a new set of scales and a Cauldron. After getting her brand new robes it was almost impossible to persuade her to let him buy her anything else. So he decided that he'd say he wanted to check out some seeker gear in order for him to get her inside QQS. He did buy himself new gloves since his old ones were getting a little small, then he placed an order for her to get a nimbus 2000 like him but he didn't let her know that.

By the time they went back they had stopped by almost every shop. Harry had bought himself a chess set, new robes, several books on charms, the dark arts, transfiguration, and defense against the dark arts, he also got Ginny a charm bracelet without her knowing, as well against owl treats for Hedwig. Ginny was baffled by Harry he got books from basic information to advanced practices in every subject he got. He got her a few things along the way which she didn't like because she couldn't afford to pay him back she'd have to find a way somehow.

When they returned to the Leaky Cauldron they deposited their bags in their rooms and met everyone downstairs for dinner. Everyone took part in polite conversation as they all talked about their day. Harry and Ginny were sitting together listening to everyone as they spoke then the parents turned to them.

"So what did you two do today you were gone for almost 10 hours," Mrs. Weasley asked them.

Ginny opened her mouth to speak but Harry spoke first, "Well I treated Ginny to a small shopping spree since I didn't send her anything for her birthday. Don't even ask prices because it would break my heart if you returned any of it."

"We won't ask prices but may I ask you what you guys bought," Mrs. Weasley said with a slight sense of anxiousness in her voice.

Harry answered politely and told her, "Of course you may. I know how she has very few things that aren't second hand which of course isn't bad but after last year I thought I could set her off new. So I bought her new robes, a cauldron, a new set of scales, as well as a few small things she picked out before she knew I was going to buy her anything else. Please don't worry about paying me back though if you really want to repay me make sure I come to the Burrow earlier next summer."

She sighed as she knew he was stubborn and she'd lose this battle eventually, "Fine. We will make sure you're at the Burrow as soon as possible next summer. But will you please not do that again for any of our children."

"No promises I think I'll have to make things fair and give each of them at least one big gift. It won't be fair if it don't," he said hoping that he could get away with this without upsetting anyone.

"Okay but I have to approve of it first," Mrs. Weasley said as everyone Fred, George, Percy, and Ron all looked very pleased.

Harry simply nodded and said, "That's fine with me."

Everyone went back to eating and talking as Ginny just gave Harry a look it wasn't one of anger or question more confusion. She couldn't help but think why he was doing this. Maybe he felt bad for them? Or did he think he owed them? Maybe it was that he was blaming himself for what happened her first year? She decided that before they went to bed she'd talk to him about it.
