Disclaimer: I don't own any of this…if I did, do you really think I would be sitting here typing this story? Nope. I would be out. Not in my house. Not about to have a family dinner. And not being forced to eat my mother's horrible cooking. But enough about my horrible dinner…on with the story…. and I couldn't fit the whole title in the box at the top but the whole one is below...now on with the story...
Chapter 3 -- In Which They Walk & Talk & More Love is Declared
Ginny went out the kitchen door and heard someone follow her out. When she turned around she saw that it was Harry. Smiling she took his hand, and they walked down to the lake in silence. When they got there Harry pulled Ginny to him and wrapped his arms around her waist and she wrapped hers around his waist. Ginny leaned her head on his chest and looked out over the lake. They stood there in silence for a little while with Harry rubbing her back lightly. Finally Harry spoke up.
"Ginny…" at hearing her name she looked up at him. " …you don't want me to be an auror do you? And answer me honestly because I'll know if you're lying. And I really do want to know." Still staring out of the lake she answered him.
"I just want you to be happy Harry. No matter what you're doing or who you're with." Harry's eyes got wide.
"Ok we'll get to the 'who I'm with' part later, but Ginny, I want the same thing, for you to be happy. And if you're not happy with me being an auror then I'll tell Kingsley no. I could tell when we were talking to Ron and Hermione earlier that you didn't like the idea." Ginny took a deep breath.
"It just scares me." she paused and still looking out over the lake, continued. "Scares the shit out of me Harry. That you're gonna go off on some mission and you're not going to come back. And…I…I just…" she looked back up at him and he saw that she had tears in her eyes. "I couldn't handle that again. Thinking your dead, I mean." He tightened his arms around her. And when she stopped crying he looked down at her.
"Gin, I promise, I'm not going to die anytime soon. I plan on living for a very long time. Sorry love, but your stuck with me. Because back to that thing you said about me being with someone else? You, Ginny Weasley, are the only one I want. And I don't plan on going anywhere soon. And if you ever come to your senses, not saying your mental or anything, but if you do and you realize that you're to good for me because I've been a huge git, then I'm not going anywhere without a fight." Ginny looked back at up at him.
"Oh Harry. I don't want you to go anywhere. I want you to be with me for the rest of my life." she looked him straight in the eye and whispered, "because I love you. So, so much." He smiled down at her and leaned down to kiss her. Harry pulled away and with his lips still close to hers he whispered.
"I love you Ginerva Molly Weasley." and then he closed the gap again. When they finally broke apart they were both breathing heavily. When the couple got back to the burrow they saw Ron and Hermione asleep on the couch. Ginny laid a blanket over the sleeping couple and the two walked up to bed. They kissed goodnight and Ginny slipped into her room and Harry continued up to Ron's room.
The next morning Molly Weasley got up and went downstairs to start fixing breakfast. She saw her youngest son and his girlfriend asleep on the couch. When she went upstairs to wake up Harry and Ginny she expected to find them both in the same bed. Instead she found each in their own beds with smiles on their sleeping faces.
