Harry wimpered softly in his sleep, tossing and turning ruthlessly. Ginny woke up and rolled over to see Harry curled up into the fetal position.
A look of concern crossed her face and she gently placed her hand on Harry's shoulder shaking him.
She was ready to call out his name when his eyes suddenly flew open and he jumped in fright, a wild look on his face.
Ginny let go of him and moved so she was sitting on her knees. "Shhh Harry, it's alright, it was just a dream, you're perfectly safe." Ginny whispered softly.
Harry blinked owlishly and rubbed at his eyes. "Ginny?" he asked.
Ginny sighed in relief, a comforting smile on her face. "Yes, Harry, it's me. Would you like to tell me what your dream was about?" she asked.
Harry shook his head a frown on his face.
"Are you sure?" Ginny asked.
"I'm sure, just hold me for a while?" He asked, almost shyly, despite the fact that they've been married for two years.
Ginny rolled her eyes, not because she didn't want to hold him, but because of the fact that he even had to ask.
"Of course I will," Ginny said with a smile.
They got underneath the covers and Harry rested his head on Ginny's chest, nuzzling up to her neck.
"You sure you don't want to tell me your dream?" Ginny asked softly running her fingers through his unrurly hair.
Harry was quite for a few minutes before he started talking. "It was the final battle, Voldemort had killed me, but I was a ghost. I could see what was going on but couldn't do anything to help, I couldn't talk to anyone or anything. Voldemort was attacking everyone that I cared about and I couldn't do anything about it." Harry let out a shaky breath and shuddered.
Ginny looked at him in sympathy, she sometimes still had nightmares about when Voldemort had controlled her, and her nightmares always turned worse than what they had been in real life, so she definitely understood.
"Voldemort is gone now, you stopped him yourself, he can never come back." She said in a firm voice and confident voice.
"I know, it's just, it's just I still can't believe that he's gone, and that we've had peace for this long." Harry replied.
"I know, I feel the same way at times, but we just have to keep telling ourselves that he's gone and that he won't come back. If we continue to let him fear us than he's won," Ginny said.
"When did you get so smart?" Harry asked a look of surprise on his face.
"I've always been smart," She said jokingly. "But I have been talking with Susan Bones, and it's helped."
Susan Bones had become a pyschologist after the war and was helping Magical people as well as non magical people.
"Maybe I should talk to her too," Harry said uncertainly.
"Don't do it if you don't want to, but it could be good for you."
"Thanks Gin," Harry said softly.
Ginny blinked with surprise "Thanks for what?"
"For being there for me."
"I'll always be there for you." She replied a smile on her face.
"I know," Harry said also smiling, he turned and kissed her. The kiss deepened slightly before Harry pulled away.
Harry yawned and rubbed his eyes. "Goodnight Ginny, love you."
"Night Harry, I love you too." Ginny said.
