Ginny is now 16 and it is the day after the battle.
"I can't believe it, Harry! My favorite brother...d-dead!" She told Harry. She remember all the times he made her stop crying, and her favorite one was when Ron threw mud at her.
"I know Ginny. I can't believe it, either. And all…" Harry started before he was cut off.
"Don't you dare say all for you! It wasn't all for you!" Harry gave her a look. "Okay, maybe a little bit for you. But it still was for everyone who he had ever killed and everyone who had someone they knew killed by Voldemort!" Ginny finished, looking straight into his eyes. They were sitting in the Gryffindor common room. Ginny had followed Harry up there. She knew he wanted to be alone, but they needed to talk. She laid her head on his chest and stared into the fire.
"Ginny, I know this isn't the best time...but do you want to get back together with me?" He asked hopefully.
"Harry! It's the best time! At least I'll be a little happier now." She said excitedly.
"Great!" Harry said happily.
"What were you doing when you weren't here?" Ginny asked. She had been wondering about this for a long time.
"Finding Horcruxes." Harry said, almost conversationally.
"Finding…what?" Ginny asked, obviously confused.
"Parts of Voldemort's soul." Ginny looked horrified. "There were seven. Ravenclaws diadem, Marvolo Gaunts Ring-also known as the resurrection stone, Slytherins locket, Hufflepuffs cup, Tom Riddles Diary, Nagini, and me. The night my parents died a part of his soul ripped apart and…locked on, so to say, to the only other living thing in the room, me. He didn't know this happened. That is why I am a parselmouth and I could see into his thoughts. That is also why I went to the forest. So the horcrux in me would be killed."
"HARRY JAMES POTTER! Never leave me again! Don't ever try to kill yourself again." Ginny said, raising her voice to be sure he understood.
"I'll won't. I love you too much." Harry smiled.
"I love you, too. Wait…if Voldemort killed you…how come you're still living?" Ginny asked, again, confused.
"He took some of my blood. Then I met with Dumbledore…"
"You did…what?" Ginny said, trying to figure out what he just said.
"Long story. To make it short… after I died I met with Dumbledore, in my thoughts or something, and we talked for a while, and he asked if I wanted to go back. I said yes. And that's how I'm here." He explained hoping Ginny wouldn't have anymore questions.
"You know what? I'm not even going to try to understand any further. My brain will explode if I do." She said, laughing. Harry started laughing, too. By the time they were done laughing, they had decided to go down to the Great Hall. They walked in holding hands. They started over to where the other Weasley's were.
"Oh, Harry!" Mrs. Weasley said, wiping a stray tear. Her eyes were red and puffy, which Harry knew, was from crying.
"Hi, everyone. Look, I'm really sorry." He commented weakly.
"Harry, what did I say?" Ginny said reminding him of what she had said before.
"Right. Well, I heard they are putting up a memorial of all who fought and died. Everyone is going to receive rewards, too." Harry said, trying to cheer things up a little. Mrs. Weasley forced a smile.
"Wonderful, darling. I was thinking would you like to spend the summer holidays with us?" Mrs. Weasley asked Harry. He smiled.
"I'd love to!" He replied.
"Then I won't have to comment about those muggles not feeding you! You'll be mine to feed. Even though, you are looking thin." She said. Everyone burst out laughing. Every head in the Great Hall turned to look at them. They all stopped laughing at once. Then Professor McGonnagal made her way to the front of the Great Hall.
"Will Harry Potter, Hermoine Granger, and Ronald Weasley please come here?" she shouted so everyone could hear her. They walked up to her. "All three of you have been awarded Order of Merlin: First Class." Everyone started clapping. "Now, everyone who fought bravely fought in the battle will all get Order of Merlin: Second class." Everyone who fought filed past her, all receiving a medal. "Will everyone who lost loved ones in the battle come forward, please?" The Weasley's and many others made their way to the front. "You all receive Order of Merlin: Third Class." At that Professor McGonnagal walked towards Harry and whispered in his ear "You did it! I've always believed in you. You'll make a great auror." Then she left.
