Chapter Eleven
A/N: I hope you all had a good Christmas. Thank you to those of you who reviewed, followed, and favorited. Oh and in the books, Harry, Ron, and Hermione arrive at Bill and Fleur's a while before they leave to break into Gringotts. So that's where I'm going with this. This is the last chapter before the epilogue.
Disclaimer: I don't own anything related to Harry Potter. That's all J.K. Rowling's.

Dear Harry,
You're alright. Bill came by the Burrow while I'm home for Easter Break, and he told all of us that the three of you are safe. He also told us that we are in danger because the Death Eaters saw Ron with you. We've gone into hiding at my Auntie Muriel's house. Luna's here now as well. When I saw her, I just couldn't believe it. Have you ever felt like you were about to cry and laugh at the same time? That's about how I felt when I saw that she was safe. I'm pretty sure my family thought I had gone mad, but I honestly couldn't care less. You are both alright. Nothing else matters. Luna told me about how she had been at Malfoy Manor, and how you had saved her. I'm sorry about Dobby, Harry. I know you probably feel guilty, but you shouldn't. His death was in no way your fault, so stop moping like I'm sure you are. She also told me about Hermione. I'm still reeling from that. Hermione is one of the strongest people I know; I can't believe that Bellatrix Lestrange tortured her. That witch will pay one day for everything she has done to you. Bill told us that you were staying at shell Cottage for now. Are you glad to be back safely? But I know you won't stay. Whatever it is that you're doing isn't over yet. I know that it will only be over, that you can only rest peacefully, when You-Know-Who is dead and buried six feet under. That knowledge is probably the only thing keeping me from running headlong all the way to you. Because I know that once I have you, I won't be able to let go again. I'm not strong enough to let you walk away twice. So for now, I told Bill to give you all my love, because that's all I can do. My heart is with you Harry, please keep it safe.
All my love,
Ginny

Dear Harry,
You've gone away again. I felt numb when Bill told us. For a few short days, I knew you were safe, but now you're gone again. For a while I just sat there. Eventually I realized that I was angry. Angry at you for leaving, angry at Bill for not stopping you, and angry at myself for not running to you when I had the chance. Sometimes I hate that I fell in love with the boy destined to save our world. It's painful to not be by your side, to have to sit by while you do Merlin knows what, and to watch you stand up to people who would like nothing more than to see you die in a horrible painful way. It's so hard not to feel lost and alone and afraid when you're not here. I need you so badly. And I miss you. So so much. My parents told me that it's not safe to go back to Hogwarts. I just hope that Neville can take care of things while I'm away, but I have faith in him. He's alright now that he's heard Luna is safe. I can't help but smile when I think of them. I don't even think they know that they're in love. They'll come around someday. Oh, Remus stopped by and told me about his son, Teddy Remus Lupin. I've never seen that man so happy. I'm glad he came to his senses and stayed with Tonks. Speaking of whom, would you believe that she made me Godmother of little Teddy. She says that there's no one better. I honestly thought she was mental for a while, but I'm proud to be a Godmother. It doesn't hurt that you've been made Godfather either. I'm sure Remus told you, Bill mentioned it I believe. Are you happy? It's nice to see that there's a bright spot in the middle of a war. We all need that. Stay safe, wherever you've gone.
All my love,
Ginny

Dear Harry,
Something's coming. I'm not sure how I know that, but I have a strange feeling that everything is about to change. It's like that feeling you get before a storm hits, where the hair on the back of your neck stands up, and you can feel the change in the air. It's the same feeling I got the night that Dumbledore died, after you had left. I knew that there was a fight coming, a change of ways. That's the night I realized that we couldn't be together until it passed. It's terrifying, but also welcoming. Because I know that it's getting closer to the end of the war. It all comes down to whatever it is you're doing, doesn't it? I don't know what is going to happen, I just hope I'll be at your side when the storm hits. Because I will fight with you until the end. We all will. And when the dust settles we will have a lot to fix, a lot to heal and mend, but a lot to live for as well. For now I'm waiting for news, for the signal, so that it can lead me to whatever destiny there is for the two of us. We'll be together soon, love.
All my love,
Ginny
A/N; and so ends the main story. The epilogue should be up within the next couple of days. It won't be written in letter form, but from Harry's third person point of view, like the books are. I hope you've all enjoyed this story. Review and let me know, please. Happy reading.
