They sat most of the morning remembering Fred and all the good times, George was particularly bad, losing his twin seemed to have knocked the fun and jolliness out of him. Once no one could cry anymore Ginny whispered to Harry and beckoned to Hermione and Ron leading them out of the Great Hall.
As Ginny lead them out Hall she whispered explaining where she was taking them "come on, I think mum and George need some time alone and I wanted to see the common room, ii haven't seen it since before Easter, I hope it's not to damaged, it's kind of like home" Harry smiled down once again at Ginny, this action seemed to be becoming a frequent occasion, and bent down to kiss her, for voicing his thoughts so perfectly.
"Oi you two" said Ron not as forcefully as he once used to noted Harry with a slight sigh of relief.
"Let them be Ronald, they deserve it, they haven't seen each other in almost a year and after all... all that has happened they need this" Scolded Hermione who was beginning to choke up.
Ron but a comforting arm around Hermione "Ok, I can see your point, they deserve it, if I had to ever leave you again I think I would die, I can't imagine being away from you for that long..." Hermione launched herself at him giving him lots of small kisses as he tried to continue speaking "...deluminator... light... never... sorry" then he gave up kissing Hermione back ferociously.
"Hypocrite" said Ginny, grabbing Hurry's arm up through the fat lady and into the common room, leaving Hermione and Ron to it. "At last, peace and quiet sighed Ginny Pulling Harry down onto a sofa beside her"
"What happened here?" Said Harry glancing around the common room
"Well the stair case was the job of the Carrows after I set a second year free. The poor little boy had been hung in the dungeon to punish his brother for talking to a 'mudblood'; they cursed me all the way up the stairs"
"WHAT" shouted Harry "why didn't you tell me sooner, did they get you, did they hurt you" ragged Harry, pulling Ginny into a hug
"You worry too much, that wasn't the worst I got and by no means the worse that anyone received"
"I want to worry about you"
"that's not your job, I'm safe now, no need to be a martyr anymore, your only job now is to love me" Ginny cringed into Harry's chest, turning a shade that could rival her hair on the red spectrum, clearly embarrassed by what she said, it took him a while to realise what had caused this reaction from her.
"Ginny of course I love you, I thought you knew that, you should know that, you're the reason I came back after Voldemort..."
Ginny kissed him than snuggled down lying on the sofa pulling him down behind her. She sighed, trying to get comfy but even with Harry's arms holding on to her but the sofa had experience one too many bounces and bangs to be called comfy. Harry was startled when she got up and began pulling his arm again.
"You seem to be man handling me a lot recently"
"Yeah well... it's the easiest way to make you follow my command" she chuckled
They were half way up the boys' stair before Harry realised where she was taking him. "Gin, do you really think this is a good idea, Ron..."
"We are just going to sleep" she grinned mischievously
"Harry relinquished control to Ginny again allowing her to pull him up the stairs
"Okay, but if any of your brothers ask, it was all you"
"That's what I will tell them but if they believe it is another matter"
Harry gulped as they reached the dormitory he once used to share with Dean, Seamus, Neville and Ron. Glancing around it seemed untouched by the fighting accept for the broken window.
Harry glanced down at himself and realised how much blood and mud he was covered in. "I should probably have a shower", he smiled
"Okay, but don't be too long, I will go and get my night stuff that I left here, as I thought I was coming back" she said with one backwards glance.
Harry climbed into the shower, he didn't realise how much he had needed it, he hadn't had a shower since shell cottage and so much had happened since then. He let the water run over him before scrubbing himself clean and summoning some clean clothes, a t-shirt and pair of pyjama bottoms that Mrs Weasley had retrieved from the Burrow during the day and had mentioned to Harry earlier.
He came out of the shower and greeted Ginny who was just coming through the door with a simultaneous "That's timing" too which they both started giggling uncontrollably collapsing in a heap on the bed. Ginny recovering herself sat up pulling the draped around them and casting Muffliato. Harry gave her a quizzical look, "well in case Ron does come in he won't hear anything and won't see me" Harry gave her a devious look and pulled he down into a long kiss "I could get used to this"he whispered when they came up for air, Ginny was in his arms "You had better get used to it" she smiled snuggling into his chest "good night Harry" "Good night Ginny" replied harry tracing patterns on her back in an absent minded way until he became too drowsy, falling into a deep sleep.
