Chapter 2: The stage of Moving, in and on.
Sitting on the bed of Ron's room Harry and Ginny sat on the bed debating on what the issue all summer had been.
"Harry I want to go with you" Ginny pleaded. "I've trained all summer with Ron and Hermione!" She tried to reason. Close to tears Ginny had pleaded with Harry for what seemed like hours getting no where.
"Ginny, you know how I feel about that. I wouldn't forgive my self if anything happened to you. So no you'll stay at Grimmald place to be safe." Harry said in a final voice not wanting to hear anymore. Ginny suddenly got an angry look on her face. And then suddenly took out her wand and froze him where he sat.
"You will listen to reason Harry. I've thought about your reasons all summer and I think they're rubbish!" Her hand went to her head in frustration. "Complete rubbish. For one, Draco knows that we went out that we care for each other. So do you really think pushing me away is gonna save me?" Obviously Harry couldn't answer. But Ginny gave him a moment to think about it before she continued. "Plus I know where your going there is no way you can exclude me. Because I'll follow you." Harry got a scared look in his eyes. "If your willing for your best friends to take the risk, then you should give me the choice to decide."She let this sink in for a little bit "Now I'm going to release you and I want something other than a simple no!"
She released Harry and he wiggled his limbs.
"Ginny, For one there are ways to make you stay put ,one being your parents. Two If you follow me I will lock you up for your protection . And three Ron and Hermione know what there getting into and they've been there for it all!"Suddenly Ginny slapped him. To Stop Harry from ranting. Tears had finely fallen on her cheek Harry rubbed his face.
"Hermione agrees with me. I can handle my own and I could help you!" Harry got a defeated look on his face but would not give in. "Ginny, I can't say yes" Ginny flew out of the room slamming the door behind her. Harry sat there contemplating what she said. She did make good points. Points that Harry thought about over the summer. But He just couldn't let her come and put her in harms way. He knew Ginny was going to get Ron and Hermione to try and reason with him. But Ron would side with him because he felt the same way about Hermione. It's just he didn't have a choice.
Predictably Ron and Hermione entered the room. "Guys I don't want to hear it." Harry waved them off as Hermione was about to talk. "I said no."
"Well I say yes Harry. She did extremely well this summer training with us"Ron nodded agreeing with her."She can hold her own Harry and the only reason you wont let her go is because of your feelings for her harry. But if you didn't have feelings for her would you let her come?"
"I hate to say this mate but she could help us a lot." Ron said then looking away like he had just betrayed Harry.
"And she..."
"FINE, SHE CAN COME!"Harry yelled throwing his hands up in defeat knowing he was fighting a losing battle. He stormed out of the room slamming the door behind him. He went to the gardens were Ginny had ran to. She was siting on the ground knees to head crying. Harry's heart squeezed, but there was too much anger in him to let compassion show. He grabbed Ginny's arm and yanked her up grabbing the other arm with his free hand and shaking her.
"You will do as I say is that clear, If I tell you to do something you do it."He growled in her face. Ginny nodded in complete understanding.
"I understand Harry." She said softly knowing he was hurting inside. She pushed through his grip and hugged him fully. His arms circled her gently squeezing her against him. He was on the verge of tears but he was keeping them in bravely.
"I've lost my parents, I've lost Sirius, I've lost Dumbledore, I can loose you Ginny, I can't!" He hugged her ever more firmly. Putting his head in her shoulder. Ginny held his head to her shoulder.
"You won't I promise you won't Harry." They stood glued to each other for what seemed like always not enough time. When Harry after putting a control on his feelings stepped back from the embrace.
"Go pack, we're leaving in the morning bright and early." He said with no emotion coming across his face. Ginny nodded knowing not to push Harry at all and knowing that he needed time alone.

After much debate with Mrs. Weasley the four of them headed out of Goddric's hollow in the morning. They traveled but Floo Powder. Harry looked around at the place that was the only thing he could call home, the home with his family. The house was white, White cloths covered the furniture that remained there that no one had dared to touch. Everyone went upstairs and picked a bedroom. With a "snap" Dobby appeared in Harry's bedroom, To his knowledge the same one his parents had died in.
"Dobby is here sure to help Harry Potter, sir."
" Hello Dobby, I've asked you here on your own free will to help me, I need you to be surveillance for me Dobby. I want you to keep and eye on Ginny with out her knowing it. Can you do that."
"Anything for Harry Potter! Dobby will do this." Harry nodded his head and Dobby disappeared.
Hermione knocked on the door. "Harry I'm going to help Dobby start getting this place cleaned out, if that's alright with you?" She asked Hesitantly. Harry thought about it for a minute than he nodded.
"Lupin is coming by soon to help me put protection spells on the house." She nodded and left the room. A few minutes later Ron came into the room Smiling.
"Let me guess it's happened"Harry asked before Ron could utter a word.
"Yes it did. I know this isn't exactly the best time for it but it's been said and I have to say I'm the happiest git on the planet." Ron said with a dreamy expression. "Of course that's not going to get in the way of what we're doing here." Harry nodded as though the thought never crossed his mind.
"But separate bedrooms Ron."He said sarcastically. Ron turning red.
"Ok enough teasing I came to tell you that Lupin downstairs just got here." Ron stated Harry walked past him putting his hand on his shoulder."I'm Happy for you Ron" He said sincerely and left the room.
The next few hours consisted of Hermione Ron Ginny and Dobby cleaning the house, whole lupin and Harry put protection charms on the house. AntiAppartaion Charm, alarm systems and
such. While securing the grounds Harry came by a white picket fence surrounding two graves.
Here lies James Potter
Loving husband and Father

There was a plaque on the ground in between the graves.
James and Lily were well loved by all. They were wrongfully taken by lord Voldemort. The will always be alive on our hearts.-Friends of the honored
Tears streamed down Harry's cheeks. Lupin gripped the back of Harry shoulders in a supporting motion. He had an equally sad expression on. "They were the best friends anyone could ask for they were brave and strong and they loved you with all there hearts, Harry." He explained. "And they would be very proud of you. As I am." Harry dropped to his knees, crying harder but making no noise. Lupin hugged Harry to him. "Harry you must not dwell on their deaths, it cause to much pain. remember that they loved you and that you will see them again one day." Harry settled down and just stared blankly at the tombstones. silently vowing to avenge his parents.
