Harry didn't know for how much time he was there. He was lost in his own world until he heard footsteps coming towards the Headmasters office. He wondered who was it, thinking that Ron and Hermione had come again to call him downstairs. Just when he was about to get up from the cold floor, ready to go into the Great Hall, he saw Ginny opening the door of the office and coming towards him.
Her eyes were swollen; Harry knew she was crying at the death of so many loved ones, still she was smiling at the site of him. Harry didn't know why, but it was that moment he realized how much beautiful Ginny really was. Her red hair put on one of her shoulders, her eyes, everything about her made Harry feel how much he loved her.
Harry was so lost in her beauty; he didn't realize how fast Ginny came towards him and kissed him. Both of them didn't speak anything for what seemed like a long time. When they parted, none of them moved away, they just sat there looking into the eyes of each other, thinking what will come ahead of their lives, thinking about each other.
'C'mon Harry, we have to go down to the Great Hall. Everyone's waiting' said Ginny, pulling Harry's arm and making him stand.
'I don't know if I'll be able to face everyone again. First Mad-Eye, then Fred, Remus, Tonks. Everyone has died because of me.'
'No Harry, you are getting it all wrong. The reason everyone is still alive is because you defeated Voldemort. Without you, hundred's like Fred, Lupin, and Tonks would've been killed by Voldemort. You will see this yourself once you go to the Great Hall. Come, everyone's waiting.'
'You sure everything will be fine?'
'Of course.' Saying this, Ginny hugged Harry tightly.
'Thanks. I needed that.'
Together, they set off towards the Great Hall, hand in hand. Harry's heart pounding really fast. What will happen once he get there? How will he face everyone? Above all how will he face the Weasleys? These were some of the thoughts that were going on Harry's mind.
Soon, both of them were standing at the entrance of the Great Hall. And to Harry's surprise, everyone started clapping on his arrival, coming forward to shake his hand. Harry literally had tears in his eyes. He felt much more lighter, he felt good.
He could see Ron and Hermione standing not far from him and smiling. After about 10 minutes of handshakes and hugs, Harry moved away from the crowd and went straight towards Mrs. Weasley and hugged her tightly. This was what he wanted for a long time. Hugging Mrs. Weasley felt like Harry was hugging his own mother.
Sobbing really hard, he tried to speak 'Sorry. Sorry for everything you lost because of me. Fred, Remus, Tonks, Mad-Eye, George's ear. Sorry for everything. It's all my fault.'
'There there Harry.' Said Mrs. Weasley wiping Harry's face with her own hands. 'Who told you everyone we lost was because of you. You are the bravest boy I know. Without you, we couldn't have beaten Voldemort. And we haven't lost anyone, they're still with us, in our hearts and will always remain there.'
'Yeah mate' Ron said coming from behind. 'You forgot the time when you saved Ginny in the Chamber of Secrets or Dad in the Ministry of Magic. We haven't and we will never forget it.'
After some time of talking, laughing and sharing, Harry, Ginny, Ron and Hermione left the Great Hall together thinking about what lay ahead of their lives.
