Harry

Harry was finishing dinner preparations when he hears a faint knock on the door. He rushes to open it up and see the most beautiful woman he'd ever seen standing in the doorway. They just stood there staring at each other for a second, when Harry final found his voice.

"You look gorgeous.", he said shyly. "Please, come in." That's when he noticed the small white box in her hands. "What's this?", he asked.

"Oh I just thought I would pick up some dessert for after dinner. It's just a chocolate cake.", she replied, her cheeks turning red.

Though Harry only wanted her for dessert, he smiled because she remembered that he like chocolate.

"Its perfect. Thank you.", he said as he took the cake from her hands and placed it on the counter in the kitchen. He turned back around to see her standing in the middle of the living room looking out the window that overlooked Diagon Alley.

"I love sitting by that window and just watching all of the people go by." Harry said, going to stand next to her. She glanced at him and smiled.

"I would love it too."

Harry grabbed her hands and pulled her to the couch. He could feel her hands shaking but didn't say anything. She was nervous too, and somehow that put him at ease.

"Ginny," he began, "I want to get some things off my chest. I've been going through a lot these past few months after everything with Voldemort. I blame myself for numerous deaths, especially of the people who cared enough about me to stand in his way. I haven't wanted to burden anyone with my struggles and really the only person who knows all of this is Hermione, but only because she seemingly can read my mind or something. Also, I want you to know that I care about you, so much so that I haven't wanted to drag you down with all of the demons chasing me. But I had a really good conversation with Hermione today and she made me realize that maybe you are the only one who can help me heal. You are so kind and gentle and loving and I love that about you. I see you with Teddy and honestly all I can picture is making a family with you. We've been through so much throughout the past 7 years and I think that you are the only one who truly gets it. I just hope by saying all of this, I'm not scaring you off and don't feel like you have to say anything.", he finished with a sigh.

Ginny stared at him for what seemed like ages. He could tell that she was trying to absorb everything he'd just said.

"Please don't get the wrong idea by me not saying anything. It's just a lot to process and I need a little time before replying. Right now, why don't we forget about it and just have fun tonight. I promise that we can resume this conversation later.", Ginny said.

Harry released the air he didn't even realize he was holding in and nodded to her. He got up off the couch and pulled her up into a hug, squeezing her tightly. She squeezed him back, and he knew then that everything was going to be ok.

"So, dinner?", he asked her and felt her nod against his chest. He released her to finish preparing the food.
