Ginny/Harry - Heavy Heart


His heart is just so heavy. Deep down, he knows he should be happy – elated, even. But even deeper down, a gnawing voice is telling him all he's caused is death and destruction.

All he has to do is take one look around him as fire dances around the castle, rubble dotted up all over the place, mixed in with limp bodies.

It's his fault. He killed his mother and father, he killed Sirius, he killed Remus, Fred… all of them. He is a curse. Maybe if he'd just died in the first place… maybe this wouldn't have had to happen at all, ever. At the same time a cold hand reaches for his, he realises his own trembling.

"You need to see the best in this. This is finally victory, we've won!" Ginny half-smiles at him.

"How? How can you even say that? Your brother died today! We've lost, too."

"For a worthy cause though, Harry. We all would have died if it meant saving everyone. You were willing to do it," she says softly, trying to lock her fingers through his limp ones.

As her words sink in, his heart feels that little bit lighter and that gnawing voice quietens slightly. "I couldn't live without you, Ginny," he says, leaning probably too much of his weight on her.

"You don't have to; we'll embrace the future together." She presses a kiss to his lips, and mumbles an 'okay?' to which he nods without hesitation.
