Harry stumbled into the room; he didn't manage to trip over anything so Ginny didn't wakeup. He took his shirt off and got a big whiff of what he smelled like death, it was awful. Harry walked into the bathroom and ran a bath; he jumped in to the hot water. It relaxed hit tensed muscles and washed the smell of death and unhappiness from his skin. He washed his hair several times before he was sure that the smell was gone from his body. He dried himself off then crawled into bed with Ginny, he was tired; it was nearly 2 in the morning. The minute that lied down Ginny curled up against him, Harry finally relaxed, and eased into a peaceful sleep.
The next month passed with ease as the couples settled down into schedule. The first Hogsmead trip was fast approaching. Harry and Ron both had the day off and were going to spend it with their girlfriends.
Hermione was busy in the common room working a report for Madam Pomfrey about Hippogriff Fever (one of my favorite stories by boarding-las, you should read it.) Ron was sharing a couch with her with a quidditch book open on his lap.
"Hey guys" Ginny called to them.
"Oh, hey Gin, are you and Harry leaving for Hogsmead now?" Hermione said not looking up from her giant textbook.
"Yeah, we should be back after supper." Ginny smiled up Harry who was coming down the stairs.
"See you later" Ron called out, his eyes following a seeker that was zooming around on the page in front of him.
"You know, she has had a real effect on him." Ginny whispered to Harry before they left the room.
Ron and Hermione sat on the couch just enjoying each others company.
"Ron, want to go in to London? I have to get some things from my parents house, then we can walk around the city for awhile many go see a picture"
"Yeah that would be great when you want to go?" he looked from her book and in to her eyes.
"How 'bout in an hour." Hermione finished her sentence.
Ron sat up and kissed her on mouth, quick and sexy. Hermione leaned into the kiss and moaned when Ron's tongue massaged her own.
"Maybe we can leave in two hours." Hermione said against his mouth. They heard a slamming of a door upstairs, and pulled apart quickly like two children that had been caught with their hands in the cookie jar.
"Hey I'm off to the village. Do you need anything?" Dean stopped beside the couch and looked at the couple.
"No thanks Dean." Hermione said to him kindly. "I thought that you were supposed to be on duty today?" Hermione looked up at him for an answer.
"No actually, Lavenders replacement came last night. They should already be hard at work." Dean said in a slow steady voice that detailed nothing of his true feelings. "Well I had best off" he put his hands in to his pockets and walked towards the door.
"He has been acted a little off lately." Ron observed. "Lets go up to the room and get ready for a night on the town. Hermione what is a picture?"
Hermione rolled her eyes and took his hand as they walked up to the stairs to their room.
The couple emerged an hour and a half later looking like muggles.
"I'm so excited I haven't been to see a picture in about two years. I wonder what's playing." Hermione said out loud as she closed the door of her and Ron's room. They walked past the gates of Hogwarts, and apparated into a small London alley.
Dean was walking around Hogsmead a little distracted. He wondered down toward the Shrieking Shack without knowing just searching for some peace and quiet. The walkway slippery but he really didn't notice his mind was focusing on someone.
Dean was just about their when he lost his grip on the ice and slipped and slid down the hill. He hit something hard and it screamed, a female scream, and it fell on top of him. He opened his eyes and saw a wave of blond hair that was whipping his face. They slowed as the hill began to flatten out. Dean opened his eyes again and say that it was Luna who was on his stomach.
"Sorry" he said to her as they came to a complete stop.
"It's ok, it must have been a cromplesnarkaxe" she put her hand on his chest and got up from sitting on him.
"Yeah." Dean said trying to shake the thought from his head. He felt a spark of electricity where Luna's hand had touched his chest, he tried to pass the feeling of as the aftermath of his chest getting crushed, but she really hadn't been that heavy. "We should be going back to the school now, it's getting late." He looked over on the horizon the sun was sitting low on the hills.
Dean got up and patted him self off and began to walk back up to the path that would lead them back into the village. They started to walk up the slippery sloop in a comfortable silence. Luna was walking behind Dean stepping in his tracks. She slipped and little and Dean held out his hand to her, she grabbed it and they walked the rest of the way back to village holding hands.
Hermione and Ron were just walking in to a huge building that was full of muggles buying their tickets. Hermione slipped her hand into Ron's and pulled him to one of the ticket booth's
"Two for" she looked at Ron "What do you want comedy? action? drama?"
Ron just looked at her. "Two for Sweeny Todd please."
"Which time would you like?" the woman asked uneventfully from behind the glass screen.
Hermione asked for two, Ron was looking around absorbing all the things that were around him. His dad would have gone crazy if he saw this place. There were sweet smells drifting from the counters on the far side of the theater Ron looked over and say people eating. Hermione grabbed his hand and pulled him in to the theater. Ron was looking around every where.
"Our movie starts in an hour, what you want to do?" she looked up at him.
"Um, what do you usually do?" He pulled her close crushing her against his body.
"Well we could get some supper and one of the restraunts and play some arcade games." She looked up at him.
"Let's eat." Ron surveyed the seen, there were so many places. Hermione smiled and pulled him over to one of the stands.
"Two slices please, and to cans of pop." Hermione pulled some muggle money out of her purse and handed it to the teenage boy, whose face was covered in acne. Ron gave him a sympathetic look. Hermione turned to walk over to a table.
"ohey, how did you get a girl like that" the teen piped in a nasally voice.
Ron looked over and shot him a look, and walked away. He joined Hermione who was sitting at a table opening the boxes that contained the pizza. Ron sat down beside her and looked at eh contents of the box.
"Hermione what is this?" he was looking at the trianglar shaped food that was inside the box that was covered with grease spots.
"Ron it's pizza you will like it, every guy in the muggle world loves it."
"How am I supposed to eat it?" he looked at it again.
"Like this" Hermione began to eat the slice and Ron followed her example.
Ron took a bit of the crust, and chewed on the tough bread.
"Ron your eating backwards." Hermione pointed out.
"I didn't think it mattered." He said as he moved the slice around so that it was facing the proper way.
After the pizza it was nearly time to get the snacks for the movie.
"What is good?" Ron asked Hermione.
"Popcorn" Hermione answered knowledgably.
They stood in line and waited their turn to order.
"What is taking so long?" Ron asked Hermione
"Ron, just be patient" she said is annoyed whisper.
With their big bucket of popcorn they walked down to the theater that was playing the movie that they wanted to see. They walked through the open doors into the giant room that was filled with chairs.
"Where are we supposed to seat are tickets don't have numbers"
"You pick your own seat." Hermione said as she turned to the stairs and began to climb them. She picked a seat in the middle just behind another couple.
"Now Ron, you cannot talk while the picture is playing" Hermione told him before he even sat down. Ron at down beside her and put his hand on her leg. She looked over at him and smiled and put her hand over top of his and snuggled her self in close to him. The lights dimmed and the movie started.
'We really must do this more often' Ron said to Hermione as they walked up one of the many staircases I the castle.
'How about next Saturday we can go out for dinner' Hermione held Ron's hand as she climbed the last step, Ron smiled and pulled her along the corridor.
Harry and Ginny were in their room getting ready for bed
"Ginny where do you want to live when after you graduate" Harry asked her from the bathroom.
'I was hoping that one day we would live in the country that's where I want to raise our children. At first though I don't really care' she said slipping a night gown over her head.
Harry came out of the bathroom in his boxers drying his hair.
'What are going to do?' he said as he threw the wet towel away.
'I was going to look into becoming an Auror.' Ginny said casually.
Harry looked over to Ginny with horror painted on his face.
'You can not be an Auror' Harry said in a unnerving voice.
'Excuse me?' Ginny said her words tripping with anger.
'I said you will not be an Auror.' Harry clearly repeated himself.
'and why not?' Ginny said, her hands high on her hips.
'Because' Harry jumped into bed and pulled the covers up close to his face.
'Harry' Ginny yelled in annoyed tone of voice.
Harry sat up in bed and looked at her.
'is their a reason to this nonsense?' she asked him extremely annoyed. 'Is it because I'm not good enough? Is it because I'm a girl? Well why don't you answer the question' she finished her words dripping with venom.
'No it's none of that' Harry said his voice stiff and distant.
'Then what is it?' Ginny spat him. Her rage showed in her glowing red face.
'It's because… because' Harry was cut of before he could finish his sentence.
'Because, because, why?' Ginny said in an angry mimic of Harry's voice.
'It's because if you died I couldn't … couldn't live any more.' Harry said defeated. 'I love you so much, if I lost you I would die' he said. Harry dropped his head to his chest.
'Harry.' Ginny padded over to the bed and took him in her arms. 'I love you too.' She kissed 'I understand' she looked down ashamed. 'I'm sorry that I accused you of those things' she whispered brushing her thumb across his cheek.
'It's my fault for not giving you a proper reason. I can't control you, and I cannot tell you what to do.' He whispered as he pressed his lips to the palm of her hand.
'I can understand the feeling, when you were off last year it was so pain full not to hear of you I was so scared that you had died. Harry I know you only want to protect me so I won't, I'll do something safer, for you." Her hand caressed his cheek. She moved on to his lap and burrowed herself into his chest.
'When I was gone I missed you so much it hurt.' His voice was a sad whisper; he pulled her closer crushing her against his chest.
'I missed you too, when you arrived I was happy just see that you were alive.' She looked up him 'I love you' Her whisper was sensual and loving.
'I love you too.' His lips found their way down to hers.
'Fix me Ginny, you're the only one that can.'
