Chapter 11: Promise Me
"Hey Hermione." Said Ginny as Hermione passed her table
"He knows I'm right, he just won't admit it!" Hermione shouted angrily
Ginny's eyes widened in shock.
"Oh, Ginny. I'm sorry." Said Hermione quietly
"Ron?" asked Ginny sympathetically
"No, Harry." She replied darkly, as she stormed out of the library
Ginny turned back to her History of Magic essay and started the conclusion. Fifteen minutes later she left the library and headed to the common room.
Harry was running down the corridor when he saw a flash of red out the corner of his eye. Turning, he ran in the direction of the red. He tried to stop and fell over in front of Ginny. He hoped his equilibrium would get better; he was going to need it tonight.
"Hey." He said breathlessly as Ginny pulled him to his feet; his face was red from all his running.
"Hi, I saw Hermione just now, she seems pretty mad with you."
"She was, but she's not anymore." He wiped a little bit of sweat of his forehead
"Where are you going?" Ginny asked
"With Dumbledore," He replied softly before taking her hands in his, "Gin...if I don't come back..."
"NO!" Ginny screamed at him before he could finish "Do you dare sat that! You will come back. Do you hear me? Promise me you'll come back to me! Alive!" she had tears glistening in her eyes
When Harry didn't answer the tears started flowing from her eyes, she tried to stop them but they just came even faster.
"Promise me." She pleaded, gripping the front of his shirt
"Ginny..." he whispered
"Please Harry..." she looked him straight in the eyes
Harry couldn't look away from her tear soaked eyes, it was breaking his heart to see her like this and know it was his fault.
"I promise." He told her. He knew it was an empty promise but this was what Ginny needed to hear.
"I love you." Ginny said, removing her hands from his shirt
It was the first time she's ever said that to anyone that wasn't her family.
"I love you too." Harry replied
Saying it was the easiest thing for him because it was so true, he really did love her.
His words hit Ginny so hard that she started crying again. Was this the last time she'd ever speak to Harry, were these going to be her last words to the man she loved?
Harry stepped forward and pulled Ginny into a tight hug. When he pulled back it was to wiped her tears away and give her a soft kiss on the lips before running off to meet Dumbledore.
He was terrified that he might never see Ginny again and his terror only intensified when he heard her sobbing.

A/N: I know in the book Harry doesn't see anyone on his way to meet DD by the entrance hall but a few of you asked me for this so I thought, what the heck, let's give it a bash and come on, who doesn't want to hear them say those three words?
Sorry if you don't like that I make Ginny sound like a sissy girl but I wanted her to show a bit more emotion, this is the guy that she loves and she may lose him tonight so a bit of emotion is required.
Sorry it's so short as well, but Harry is in a rush.
Hermione's temper: She's angry because Harry won't believe her when she's talking about Eileen Prince being connected to the HBP.
READ! I have 3 chaps lined up until the night before The Wedding but I want some more ideas if you are willing to provide. Ideas for a few chaps during The Extended Summer Holiday Camping Trip. Obviously Harry and Ginny won't see each other and this is a Harry/Ginny Fic so I won't put much of Ron/ Hermione (Romance wise, I mean) in, if anything I'll put roughly the same about as I've put in of them...just tiny bits of them in each chapter. But anything will do, I have a dream scene lined up but I could do with some more ideas. Even if its conversations the trio have about Harry and Ginny's relationship...anything will be great. Also, I'm very sorry if I can't fit everyone's requests in but I do try to put a bit of everyone's ideas in so that you enjoy it. So, feel free to send in ideas whenever you like!
